Ch. 591..600

Chapter 591

Nathan said, "I know. I still won't wake you up."

Mila leaned toward his ear and whispered softly, "If you come back before 11:00 pm after finishing your work, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

"Do whatever I want?" Nathan murmured. He felt reluctant because he cherished her.

Mila nodded shyly.

Nathan gulped. He lifted his hand and cupped her face.

He said with a serious tone, "Chubs, don't say such things. Even though I'm your husband, I can't."

"Don't you like hearing me talk dirty?" Mila was confused. She didn't know if she had said the wrong things.

"I do. Of course, I like to hear you talk dirty. I also really want to talk dirty too. But, for a man, words like 'do whatever you want' can be very arousing and exciting. "But you're not a toy; you're the woman I love and cherish the most. Besides making me love you, you also have to love yourself.

"The way I treat your body has never been with a playful attitude, so you shouldn't treat yourself like that, either."

Mila was touched.

Just because she used the wrong words, he was so concerned and had to correct her viewpoint.

Mila couldn't resist anymore, so she lowered her head to kiss his lips.

She murmured, smiling, "Actually, I don't think of myself that way. I also love myself very much, but you're really straightforward. You're such an upright man." Nathan held her head to deepen the kiss. With her lips on his, he murmured, "Actually, I'm not as upright as you think I am. If you want to play, you can play with me." Mila couldn't help but chuckle. "You're hypocritical."

Nathan looked at her with an intense gaze. "Do you want to have some fun with me? My endurance is top-notch."

Mila blushed.

The lovely atmosphere suddenly became electrifying due to his teasing.

She was too embarrassed to look into his eyes, so she put her face against his neck. Gently, she kissed his throat.

The throat was a very sensitive area

of the body. Nathan was

immediately filled with desire ne

couldn't hold himself back. His

he

passion was threatening to explode.

He closed his eyes and succumbed to her seduction.

Mila followed his previous actions, kissing him, touching him, and taking off his clothes.

Midway through the foreplay, she whispered in his ear, "Do you want it?"

Nathan stripped off her clothes and replied with a hoarse voice, "Yes, I want it."

Her movements were very gentle and slow. She was also easily exhausted. For Nathan, it was a blissful torment.

Being passive all the way was

unrealistic. He couldn't take it

anymore, so halfway through,b

took control of their passionate encounter.

A man in bed was never reserved, let alone shy.

Mila still hadn't gotten used to his wildness and passion.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was rigorous, upright, abstinent, and dignified.

Only she knew that this man was so passionate and wild in bed.

It was warm in the afternoon. Rummaging through her wardrobe, Mila tried to find a suitable dress for the wedding banquet. Looking through several dresses, Phoebe found none were suitable and shook her head.

Mila was confused. "I think they all look pretty good. Why aren't they suitable?"

Phoebe pondered thoughtfully before replying, "I just feel they're not stunning enough." Mila gave her a resigned smile. "I'm not the bride. Why do I need to be stunning?"

Phoebe looked serious. She picked up the most beautiful dress from the wardrobe and said, "Mila, you just don't get it. Even if you were just attending a wedding banquet, you need to put in the effort.

"You shouldn't outshine the bride, but you definitely need to outshine the maid of honor. Subtle yet eye-catching is the way to go."

Chapter 592

"Why do I need to outshine the maid of honor?"

"Because the maid of honor is Fenna!"

Mila was stunned for a moment. She wasn't vain, but whenever Fenna was mentioned, she couldn't help but feel the urge to compete with her. Even though she had confidence in Nathan, she still felt jealous.

She regained her composure and walked over to the wardrobe to pick out clothes. "Phoebe, help me pick out another outfit," she said with renewed vigor.

At that moment, a knock came on the door.

"Come in," Mila said as she turned her head to look.

Cole pushed open the door. He was carrying several beautifully wrapped boxes. Then, he placed the boxes one by one on the bed.

"Madam, these are the outfits General Morrison had custom-made for you. Also, there are several sets of jewelry for you."

Mila walked over to open the boxes. Looking at the gifts that Nathan had specially prepared for her, she was delighted.

She picked them up and admired the beautiful dress in her hands. His actions made her feel cherished.

She remembered how Nathan had once sent her a set of haute couture dresses and jewelry, but the fake Sally had destroyed them.

She was heartbroken for a long time.

Cole took out another box at the bottom and walked toward Phoebe. He handed them to her and said, "This is for you."

Phoebe was taken aback. "General Morrison prepared this for me?"

Cole's expression turned grim. He hurriedly explained, "I... I had it custom-made for you."

Phoebe was surprised. She was dumbfounded for a moment before slowly accepting the exquisite gift box from him. She was so surprised that her mouth hung open. "You two should go get change. I'll wait downstairs," Cole said gently.

Mila turned and asked, "Cole, where did Nate go?"

he

Cole's expression turned grave as replied slowly, "General Morrison was called over by the President. It seems he's been arranged to be the best man."

"A best man?" Mila and Phoebe exclaimed in unison. Both of them were shocked.

Mila threw the haute couture dress she was holding onto the bed. She questioned angrily, "He agreed to it?"

"He did," Cole replied as he nodded. He carefully explained to Mila, "Madam, please don't be angry.

"General Morrison only found out about it when he went to the President's house. He asked me to come back and bring you guys over."

Mila took a deep breath to suppress her anger. She calmly asked, "In Norvania, can married men be a best man?"

Cole replied, "They can. Moreover, in

accordance with the customs of Norvania, your marriage is only recognized and protected by law, so you're not considered officially married. In the eyes of outsiders, General Morrison is still single."

Mila coldly snorted as her good mood was ruined.

She remained silent for a moment before hastily taking out her phone. She realized her phone was out of battery and was switched off.

No wonder Nathan hadn't been able to notify her.

Wasn't it disrespectful to her as his wife for him to agree to be a best man without asking her? Mila handed her phone to Phoebe. She was listless as she said, "Phoebe, go charge my phone." After Phoebe took a charging cable, she asked cautiously, "Mila, are we still going to the wedding?"

Mila blurted out, "Of course we are Fenna is the maid of honor. You can tell this is her and the bride's doing.

If I don't go, it'll just make their schemes a success."

Cole hastily made his exit. "Madam, I'll wait for you downstairs."

"Okay. You may go now," Mila replied.

Mila stood up and picked an elegant and graceful haute couture dress to change in the dressing room.

Half an hour later, Mila and Phoebe were elegantly dressed. Along with Zach, they went to the wedding banquet venue in Cole's car.

Chapter 593

This was a lowkey yet luxurious banquet wedding.

There were no reporters and media. Security was tight outside the banquet hall, with multiple checkpoints verifying guests' identification information.

The invited guests were either wealthy or influential, but they were mostly officials.

After entering the banquet hall, Phoebe and Cole remained close to Mila's side.

As the wealthiest man in the country, Zach's presence drew attention from both business and political circles, attracting many who sought to curry favor with him.

He was surrounded on all sides. Amid a chorus of flattery and ingratiating remarks, he obligingly engaged with each one in turn.

Mila walked around the lively crowd but didn't see Nathan, so she walked toward the adjacent VIP seat and sat down.

Phoebe brought over a cup of fruit tea for her. She then sat in the chair beside her while Cole sat next to Phoebe.

"Why don't you go look for General Morrison?" Phoebe asked Cole.

Cole smiled as he lowered his head to whisper in her ears, "Today's my day off, so I'm accompanying my girlfriend to the wedding."

Phoebe smiled and didn't retort.

Cole pulled his chair closer, wanting to be closer to Phoebe. He asked softly, "There's a buffet over there. What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you." Phoebe glanced sideways before replying, "I can get it myself."

Mila overheard their conversation. She calmly said, "Phoebe, you don't need to follow me. It's safe here. You can have a day off as well."

Phoebe looked around. She saw plainclothes police officers everywhere.

The guests who came in were all prominent figures in Norvania. Even Donald appeared alone, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Phoebe said happily, "Thank you, Mila. I'll go find something to eat then. If you need anything, just call me."

Mila gently touched her hand. She smiled and replied, "Go ahead."

Phoebe held Cole's arm and left the table. They headed toward the buffet area.

Mila was happy as she watched them being affectionate. It seemed they had firmly established their relationship.

Mila idly drank her fruit tea. As she waited for the banquet to begin, she heard women chatting nearby. She didn't pay much attention until she heard the words "General Morrison".

She immediately became sensitive and listened attentively.

"The President is really powerful. Even General Morrison is serving as a best man for his son-in-law."

"Yeah, the groom's most glorious moment in his life is marrying the President's daughter and having a Defense General as his best man." "He's really lucky."

"I heard he has an ordinary background, but he's quite handsome."

"Is he more handsome than General Morrison?"

"We can't compare since they're both different kinds of handsome. One is handsome in a delicate and exquisite way, while the other is handsome in a robust and

masculine way. sŵnovel

"But I prefer General Morrison because he's very manly."

"I also like men like General Morrison. Just one glance and you feel elated."

"I envy the maid of honor so much. I wonder if there will be any playful games between the maid of honor and the best man. The maid of honor is really lucky."

"I wonder what type of woman General Morrison likes. If he could openly choose a woman, it would be great. I hope he'll give us ordinary girls a chance too." "You're being delusional."

"A girl can dream. After all, I thought he would marry the President's daughter. I didn't expect that he wouldn't even look at her."

"Could it be possible that he was already married and just didn't hold a wedding?"

"Impossible. If he had registered, why wouldn't he hold a wedding? What's the point of registering if there's no wedding?"

"That's true, In our country, it's not

considered a marriage without a

wedding. At most, it's just an

engagement. Moreover, he's still the best man, which means he's still single."

"I'm actually looking forward to the interaction between the best man and the maid of honor later. There's bound to be a lot of ambiguous interactions."

"I think so too. General Morrison is so strong. There might be piggyback rides or jumping stairs on his back."

Chapter 594

"They might play Truth or Dare, or play a game of passing the floral wreath... Wow, I'm really excited. It's making me not even want to watch the bride and groom interact. I just want to skip ahead to the best

man's part."

Feeling down, Mila slowly stood up and left her seat.

She couldn't bear to listen any longer. If she did, she would probably feel extremely uncomfortable.

She wasn't very familiar with the Norvanian's customs. She believed registering for marriage had already made it a formal marital relationship.

Little did she know, registering for marriage was just like getting engaged, providing a guarantee that neither party would easily back out.

While the law recognized the registration, the people only acknowledged it after the wedding ceremony.

She and Nathan didn't have a wedding, so in everyone's eyes, he wasn't married.

In everyone's view, the best man and maid of honor must be single. They were expected to participate in many flirtatious interactive games to liven up the wedding atmosphere.

Watching Cole and Phoebe being affectionate and close, Mila didn't want to interrupt them. Her grandfather was busy socializing with a group of politicians, too. As for the others, she didn't know them. The banquet hadn't officially begun, so she idly walked out of the hall.

There was a beautiful large garden outside. Feeling gloomy, Mila stood by the corridor but wasn't interested in enjoying the lush greenery in front of her.

She comforted herself. She thought that Donald probably arranged for Nathan to be the best man, so it was unavoidable.

At the same time, she felt aggrieved and uncomfortable because Nathan didn't know how to refuse and disregarded her feelings.

"Aren't you cold outside? Why not come inside the banquet hall and have something to eat?"

Mila heard a man's voice and turned to look at him.

The man was tall and slender, with delicate and handsome features. He gave off the air of a popular celebrity. He was very handsome and charming.

The man intensely gazed at her. It was a familiar feeling, making her feel uneasy.

Mila noticed that he was dressed very formally. A small red flower was pinned in his suit jacket pocket-a unique symbol of the groom.

Mila was stunned for a few seconds before the man spoke again, "My name is Yale Xander. May I ask for your name?"

"Wanda Hoffis," Mila replied indifferently.

Yale was surprised. He asked, "Oh, your surname is Hoffis? I only invited one person with that surname. Are you Mr. Hoffis Senior's granddaughter?"

"Yes."

"You seem very troubled. Is there something bothering you?"

Mila turned her head again to look at him. She thought it over for a moment and asked, "Are you the groom?"

Yale nodded.

"Is Nathan Morrison your best man?" she asked.

"According to my father-in-law, it seems so, but I haven't seen General Morrison yet," Yale replied.

"Is there a maid of honor and best man interaction in the wedding arrangements?"

"Of course, isn't this a necessary part of a Norvanian wedding? Without it, the wedding wouldn't be as interesting."

Mila felt a tightness in her chest. She

took a

smile.

there any exceptions?"

Yale shrugged. "I don't know. This is my first time marrying. Why are you so concerned about it? Do you like General Morrison?"

Mila cleared her throat. She pretended to be calm as she said, "Who doesn't like General Morrison?"

Yale said, "Indeed, you single girls all fantasize about having a husband like him, so of course you would anticipate."

Mila felt the man was a bit strange.

As a

ace didn't go to

accompany the bride or prepare the banquet. Instead, he leisurely came to chat with an ordinary guest like her.

How odd.

Mila asked, "Aren't you busy?"

"Not really."

"Are you not going to accompany your bride?"

"She's doing her makeup, so she doesn't need me."

"Excuse me," Mila said, as she didn't want to be misunderstood.

She didn't want to chat with the groom in this secluded corridor because she feared people would say they were secretly meeting each other.

After saying goodbye, Mila turned and left.

Chapter 595

Mila had barely walked a few steps when Yale suddenly grabbed her arm. Stopped in her tracks, she turned back to look at his hand with a frown. She then looked into his eyes. They exchanged glances, but he didn't let go. Mila's expression turned gloomy. "Mr. Xander, whatever it is, please let go of my hand first. Don't hold my hand like this."

Not only did Yale not release her hand, but he also held on tighter. He slowly walked up to her and asked softly, "Ms. Hoffis, can we be friends?" "I'm sorry, we can't."

Yale smiled bitterly, and a sense of loneliness exuded from him. He continued, "If you were friends with me, you'd find me very helpful."

"How so?" Mila countered.

Yale responded, "Well, I'm the next President candidate."

Mila forced a smile as she didn't want to offend him. She politely replied, "I hope you achieve your wish to become the next President. But I don't think we can be friends."

Just as Mila was about to push his hand away, a shout came from nearby. "What are you two doing behind my back?"

Mila was startled by the angry roar. As she turned to look, she saw Lillian. Wearing a wedding dress, Lillian angrily rushed over with Fenna escorting her.

Lillian was furious.

Mila nervously shook off Yale's hand and finally managed to free her own.

As Lillian rushed over, she raised her hand and tried to slap Mila.

Mila was about to avoid it, but Yale was faster. He rushed to Mila's side and grabbed Lillian's wrist. "Lillian, don't be impulsive," he said.

He continued, explaining, "Chubs and I are just ordinary friends. We're here to catch up. We didn't do anything else."

Mila looked at Yale in shock.

What did he mean by that?

Upon hearing this, Lillian became even more angry. She was so angry that she was about to cry.

"Chubs? That's quite intimate of you to call her by her nickname. When did you two get together? Catching up? When did you two ever spend time together?"

Yale carried Lillian up. He reassured her with his domineering tone, "Lillian, you're the one I love the most. The woman I'm marrying today is you, and I'll never have another woman in my life except for you. "Many women may want to get close to me, but I really don't have any interest in anyone else. I only want you."

"Then what exactly are you and Wanda doing just now?"

"She still has feelings for me, but I have no interest in a woman who clings to me like this," Yale replied. "Really?" Lillian asked.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

The two of them then walked further away.

Mila was completely speechless. She

bo had met scheming women

but she had never seen such

a disgusting and two-faced man like

him.

With just a few words, he had ruined her reputation. Not only that, he also turned Lillian into her enemy.

Mila coldly snorted because she didn't even have the chance to explain.

Fenna didn't follow them. She just smiled.

She looked at Mila with a smirk, as if she had something to say.

Suppressing her anger, Mila took a deep breath and looked at Fenna. She asked, "What is it? Spit it out."

Fenna sneered, "Does Nate know you're this kind of woman?"

Mila remarked, "What kind of woman am I?"

"Did you have a relationship with Yale before?"

Mila found it ridiculous, but she remained silent and had an indifferent attitude.

Fenna continued to guess, "Do you still have contact with him?"

Mila could tell what she was thinking and asked indifferently, "Do you want to guess again? Guess if m secretly having an affair with him here?"

wne

Fenna nervously asked, "So, are you guys having an affair?"

Mila glared at her. She felt talking to Fenna was a waste of time.

"Are you crazy? Do you want to tell Nathan? If you do, then hurry up and see if he believes your nonsense."

With that, Mila walked past Fenna.

Fenna immediately turned, looking

out cecently, "Wanda, stop right

figure. She calledet

at

there."

Chapter 596

Mila stomped her foot as she turned her back to Fenna.

Fenna boasted, "Nate is going to be paired up with me."

Mila scoffed. He was just the best man at a wedding. What was there to boast about? What was there to be happy about?

Fenna continued, "In Norvania, there are no married men willing to be the best man, not even men with girlfriends. You can imagine how little you mean to him."

Mila's heart ached, but she still maintained her smile. She turned to face Fenna and calmly said, "He has his reason if he wants to be the best man. He's my husband, and I respect his choices. "As for you, don't delude yourself. He won't do anything with you."

Fenna sneered. "You're just deceiving yourself. I've seen the wedding itinerary. We'll be having an absolute ball during the wedding entertainment part. You just wait to be embarrassed."

Mila had no certainty, but she still chose to believe in Nathan. He wouldn't make the same mistake again.

She smiled gently and said, "Okay. I'll be watching from the audience seat. I'll wait for your exciting moments with Nate."

With that said, she clenched her fists tightly and walked toward the banquet hall. She felt uncomfortable as she walked every step.

An hour later, the wedding began. All the distinguished guests took their seats. The dimmed lights created a romantic atmosphere.

The wedding host, Albert, was warming up the stage. Saying the words of blessings and sharing witty anecdotes, he made the guests laugh. The atmosphere was set perfectly.

The next segment should be inviting the best man and maid of honor on stage to liven up the atmosphere.

Mila was very nervous as her hands sweated. She felt very unhappy.

She had just let go of her past grievances and accepted Nathan again. If it happened again, she was afraid she couldn't bear it and wouldn't be able to hold on. Just as Albert was about to announce the next segment, he suddenly paused for a few seconds with his hand on his earpiece.

Then, he shouted, "Next, we have the Best Man, Nathan Morrison, the most prestigious Defense General of Norvania.

"And the Maid of Honor, Wanda Hoffis, the daughter of the famous Hoffis family in Norvania. Please welcome the two of them on stage." Mila was stunned as she thought she had misheard.

Phoebe patted her hand excitedly. She said with excitation, "Mila, they're calling you. Since when did you become the maid of honor?"

Mila shook her head. At that moment, she was unable to react.

Right then a security guard walked onto the stage and muttered to Albert, The Maid of Honor isn't Wanda; her name is Fenna. The bride wants you to change it back immediately."

Albert

of Honor, Watf

stage.

"Where's the applause?"

Phoebe was very excited. She quickly grabbed Mila's arm and pushed her toward the stage.

The audience gave them a big round of applause.

Mila was pushed onto the stage. Not

far away, she saw Nathan striding confidently onto the stage. She still confused at that moment.

She and Nathan stood on both sides of the stage. They were separated by the host, only 6 feet apart.

She glanced down the stage, then saw Fenna's pale expression and fierce gaze. Fenna was frustrated as she clenched her trembling fists.

Albert smirked and continued, "Best man, maid of honor, I'm known as a matchmaker as well. Are you ready for the challenge?"

"I'm ready," Nathan replied calmly.

Albert looked at Mila and asked, "And the maid of honor?"

Feeling nervous, Mila replied, "I... I don't know what to do..."

Albert walked over and pulled her to Nathan's side.

"It's okay if you don't. What's the point if you already know?"

There was another round of big applause from the audience. Someone shouted, "Let's get started."

Chapter 597

Mila was already anxious. She felt nervous and uneasy in the bustling crowd where all eyes were on her.

People were drinking, enjoying delicious food, and watching the interactions on stage, making the atmosphere lively. But hardly anyone in the crowd knew Nathan and Mila were husband and wife.

Zach and Donald were excited as they smiled.

Albert was quite good at his job.

"Now, it's time for some games. Let's invite two pairs of married couples on stage. It's okay if it's just a normal couple."

Phoebe immediately pulled Cole along to raise their hands. Cole was surprised and flattered.

Albert pointed at Phoebe and Cole, saying, "Let's welcome the enthusiastic couple who raised their hands."

Phoebe was very outgoing. She happily dragged Cole to the stage.

Blushing, Cole felt embarrassed.

As soon as they got on stage, Phoebe told Albert, "We're not a married couple. We're dating."

Albert liked her cheerful attitude. He laughed as he continued, "Alright, even better. Let me find a married couple..."

Meanwhile, Mila leaned toward Nathan. She whispered, "What are you up to?"

Nathan lowered his head and asked softly, "Do you want Fenna to be the maid of honor?"

"No," Mila replied without hesitation.

Nathan smiled. "You're the only one for me, my bride and also bridesmaid."

Mila's heart pounded. She shyly said, "You could have refused to be the best man."

"I demanded this role."

Mila blinked at him, surprised.

Nathan nodded at her and looked at her intensely. It was as if to say he had his own plan.

"Why did you want to be the best man?" Mila couldn't help but ask, "This is a fun and lively wedding entertainment, and you'll be teased by the host. It doesn't suit you." Nathan replied, "As long as it doesn't cross the line, I can accept it."

Albert interrupted, "What are the maid of honor and best man plotting? Tell us!"

He thrust the microphone toward Nathan. Nathan said calmly, "The maid of honor looks pretty today. I couldn't help but compliment her."

Mila blushed.

The audience broke into cheers at once.

Albert said, "Today, the chosen

couples are all handsome and

beautiful. It's rare that the best net

and maid of honor hit it off so

quickly. Let's have some fun, shall

We?"

The audience cheered, "Yes!"

After a few jokes from Albert, the games began.

Three couples were on stage-one dating, one married, and one secretly married.

The first game was balloon popping.

The men had to lift the women by their thighs and jump up while the women tried to pop the balloons above their heads with their hands.

Albert announced, "The winning couple gets a free television as a reward, and the losers will be punished. Begin!"

Phoebe was agile because she was

skilled in taekwondo, judo, and

boxing Cole was strong too. They

worked seamlessly together. They popped most of the balloons above their heads in no time.

The other married couples struggled as the man was weak and the woman was a bit chubby. It was difficult for him to lift her, let alone jump.

As for Nathan, he didn't care about

winning the game. He lifted Mila's knees, but she was already trembling, so she held onto his head

tightly.

Nathan was very steady as he looked up. He asked, "Is this okay?"

"It's too high; I'm scared," Mila said as her voice trembled.

"It's okay. Winning or losing doesn't matter," Nathan reassured her before putting her down. She then leaned toward his chest.

Nathan held her waist to balance her body.

Their actions were even more intimate than the other married couple.

The audience hooted and hollered at the sight.

Albert joked, "General Morrison, you can't even pop a single balloon? And the maid of honor seems a bit weak."

Chapter 598

Phoebe and Cole were already sure of their victory.

The married couple was still struggling.

Mila nervously asked, "What's the punishment?"

Albert replied, "For the couple in the last place, they have to kiss."

Mila panicked. She had to kiss Nathan in front of so many people?

It was unacceptable!

Wanting to try again, she quickly placed her hands on Nathan's neck.

"Hurry, let me try. I can do it."

How was this a punishment? It was clearly a reward.

Nathan shook his head and said seriously, "I give up. I'll accept the punishment."

Mila frowned as she puffed her cheeks. She shyly said, "Don't, there are so many people here."

Nathan leaned close to her. His intense gaze was fixed on her, and he said, "You have to get used to it. So you won't be nervous at our wedding in the future."

Mila pretended to be angry as she murmured, "When did I promise to hold a wedding ceremony with you?"

Nathan was stunned. He was a bit nervous as he responded, "You're already my wife. If I wasn't waiting for your parents, we would have had the wedding ceremony already."

Mila finally understood. He didn't arrange for the wedding because he was waiting for her parents. She was touched.

Albert was announcing the winners and losers. Just after he revealed the punishment for last place, Mila blushed.

Without waiting for Albert to start, she tiptoed and kissed Nathan on the lips.

Nathan instinctively lowered his head and kissed her back. His heart pounded as he felt loved.

"Woah!" The audience cheered and gave a round of applause.

Everyone thought the maid of honor would kiss the best man's cheek out of respect. They were very excited as they didn't expect her to kiss his lips.

Some even muttered in disapproval, "That's too much. How could she take advantage of kissing General Morrison's lips? She lost the game on purpose."

"Yeah, she definitely lost on purpose just so she could kiss him on the lips."

"If I were General Morrison, I'd slap her."

"She's pretty, so General Morrison allowed her to kiss him because he likes her.."

Albert teased excitedly, "Wow, that was exciting. We didn't see it clearly. Can you do it again?"

"Yes! Again!" the men in the audience responded loudly.

het

At this moment, the bride, in her wedding dress, stormed onto stage. She snatched the mine from Albert. t

"How dare you be the host?" she said furiously.

The hall fell silent. The audience watched as Lillian disrupted the playful atmosphere.

Donald was anxious. He stood up and gestured for her to stop and leave the stage.

Lillian was determined to support her best friend at all costs, even if it ruined her own wedding.

"Wanda is not my maid of honor.

maid for is Fenna. This hostet

has

this mind. How dare be

my maid of honor.

Wr

Lillian pointed at Wanda. "You, get off the stage!" she exclaimed.

Then she pointed at Albert and said, "You, bring my real maid of honor up and continue the game."

The audience felt awkward. The bride seemed unhinged, disrupting the game just for a maid of honor.

Albert maintained his smile. He politely grabbed another microphone before walking toward Nathan and Mila. "May I ask the best man if you're willing to change the maid of honor?"

Nathan replied firmly, "I'm not willing."

"What's the reason?"

"Wanda is not only the maid of honor but also my legal wife."

Mila felt loved and shy.

"Wow, oh my god..."

"No wonder she dared to kiss him."

The audience cheered again and gave another round of applause.

Lillian's expression turned grim, feeling embarrassed.

Nathan quietly instructed, "Skip it. Go to the next segment."

Listening to his command, Albert disregarded the wedding atmosphere.

He announced, "Since the bride is on

Xander, and the maid of holene Xands invite the groom,

Fenna, to come up the stage."

Chapter 599

"Everyone else, please step back," Albert said.

What kind of messed-up order was this?

Cole and Phoebe accompanied Mila off the stage.

Then, the music started. Yale went up from one end of the corridor while Fenna walked up to the stage.

There was no sense of ritual at all.

Lillian was furious as she watched the chaotic entrance ceremony on the stage. She was embarrassed. She didn't know whether to start over or wait on stage.

Ever since she stepped onto the stage and scolded Albert, her wedding had turned into a joke.

With a forced smile, Yale walked onto the stage. He took Lillian's hand and comforted her, "Lillian, it's okay. As long as we're together, it doesn't matter who's the best man or maid of honor. "The wedding is not important either. What's more important is you."

Hearing his words, Lillian calmed down. She finally smiled.

Nathan stood behind the groom, while Fenna stood behind the bride.

Fenna was still expecting some other interaction with Nathan, but Albert took out his script and started reciting congratulatory words.

After a long stretch of congratulations, he immediately said, "The bride and groom will exchange rings."

It caught Fenna and Lillian off guard.

Things didn't go like this during rehearsal. They were supposed to talk about each other's good qualities, how they met and fell in love.

Then, the bride and groom, along with the best man and maid of honor, were supposed to play games. Only then would they exchange vows and rings.

But a big part of it was skipped.

Lillian was furious. She gritted her teeth and angrily asked Albert, "Can you even host? We didn't even talk about how we fell in love or do anything else. How can we exchange rings now?" Ignoring her, Albert smiled politely.

He announced, "Best man and maid of honor, please give the rings to the bride and groom."

Fenna was disappointed, so she hesitated to give the ring box to Lillian. She gritted her teeth as she glared at Albert.

Nathan took out the ring box from his pocket and handed it to Yale.

Yale accepted and took out the ring. He didn't care about the process he only cared about the result. As long as they could get married, it was fine. For him, how they got there wasn't important.

The audience looked at Fenna, feeling like she was being weird. All she did was glare at Albert. She was not as pretty as Mila; no wonder she wasn't allowed to play games on stage.

Fenna felt annoyed. But with Albert in control, she couldn't do anything. She could only give the ring box to Lillian.

Lillian murmured, "Fenna, don't be disappointed. I'll give you another push."

Fenna nodded.

Lillian took out the ring.

"The bride and the groom have chosen to exchange rings to symbolize their commitment to each other," Albert announced.

Nathan took out a handkerchief from his pocket before inching closer toward Yale.

Just as the two exchanged rings, Yale gasped and furrowed his brow in pain.

Upon a closer look, there was a tiny needle inside the ring, which pricked Yale's finger and made him bleed.

Before they could react, Nathan quickly grabbed Yale's hand with the handkerchief.

The audience didn't clearly see what had happened. They only knew Nathan suddenly wrapped Yale's hand in the handkerchief.

Yale looked at Nathan warily.

Nathan pulled back his hand again,

then swiftly put the blood-stained

handkerchief into his pocket. Subsequently, he took out a clean handkerchief and covered Yale's finger again.

"Still bleeding," Nathan said.

Yale was nervous. He hurriedly snatched the handkerchief from Nathan.

Albert said, "They're already done exchanging their rings. Best man and maid of honor, please step down."

Lillian and Fenna were taken aback. Their faces pale as they glared at Albert intensely.

What was going on? Had he skipped all the wedding entertainment again?

Fenna was on stage for less than a minute. She was called off the stage immediately after presenting the rings, having no presence whatsoever.

Chapter 600

This was the most annoying maid of honor in Norvania's history, without a doubt.

Nathan couldn't wait to step off the stage. Instead of returning to his seat, he left the banquet hall alone. No one knew where he was going or why he left in such a hurry. Just as everyone was curious, the wedding resumed its original order.

The wedding reception followed. The bride and groom shared their love story, cutting the cake and making toast.

Yale absentmindedly stared at the white handkerchief in his hand. He took off his ring and removed the needle then tossed it to the ground.

He stared at the white handkerchief with a sinister look on his face. After a while, he finally returned to his senses and began to feel nervous.

He took out his phone and urgently dialed a number while walking backstage.

"Yale, where are you going?" Lillian asked.

Yale forced a smile and said, "I need to use the restroom. I'll be right back."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, with only the bride and the host on stage.

Breathing heavily, Yale hid in the corner. He looked sinister as he commanded with a chilly tone, "Nathan had my blood with him. He should be heading toward the military hospital.

"I don't care what methods you use; kill him or snatch back the blood-stained handkerchief. Make sure he can't enter the military hospital."

The person on the phone asked, "Are you sure he has the blood-stained handkerchief with him?"

Yale replied, "Even Lucas would betray him. He won't trust others anymore. I'm sure he'll go to the hospital alone with my blood for DNA testing. He won't hand it over to anyone else." "Understood," the other person hung up.

Yale gritted his teeth as he glared at the ring in his hand.

He was so cautious and had already gone through every detail, yet he was still suspected.

Yale had an extreme hatred toward

Nathan He thought that the left

Nathan readily agreed to be

man. He had planned all this.

best

Yale regained his composure before returning to the stage. He looked at Mila and saw she was gently smiling. The wedding continued.

Mila felt inexplicably restless. She sensed something bad would happen, making her unable to calm down.

Soon, her phone rang twice. She unlocked her phone to check.

It was a message from Nathan. "Chubs, no matter what happens, don't be afraid. Stay calm and wait for me to come back."

When she had just received the

message, she hadn't made any reaction. Nearby, Cole looked flustered as he answered a phone call, then hurriedly left the banquet halt, leaving Phoebe behind.

The banquet continued. Mila was absentmindedly eating the food.

At that moment, Cole rushed back He panted heavily, his face pale. He leaned toward Mila and whispered in her ear, "Madam, General Morrison is in trouble."

Mila froze. She began to worry and was filled with a sense of dread. She immediately thought of the message Nathan had just sent.

She preferred to believe it was part of his plan.

"What happened to him?" she asked calmly.

"General Morrison had an accident on the overpass. He fell into the river. The rescue team is searching for him now."

Mila's hand trembled as tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried to control her emotions.

She stood up and said, her voice faltering, "Don't alert anyone. I'll go with you to check on him."

"Okay," Cole said. He then brought Mila and Phoebe out of the banquet hall.

On the stage, Yale's gaze deepened.

He smirked as he watched Mila walk away.
