Hes not here? Nicole gestured toward the lounge behind the servant.
Why didnt I see him come out?
The servant tracked Nicoles gesture and turned around. With a wry smile, she commented, Then hes not here. Today, theyve set up ten identical lounges, each with guards in front. Its almost comical. Youd think the groom was a fugitive with all these decoys and guards around him!
Nicole felt her head spin. She realized she had been deceived! It wasnt that she lacked intelligence, but that the Watts family was exceptionally cautious and shrewd! They had prepared for any disturbances.
Nicole didnt bother to gather the scattered candies anymore and dashed toward the main banquet hall of the wedding.
Hey, you havent finished picking up the candies. Why are you running off again? The servant stomped her foot in anger. Im going to fetch the manager immediately to dismiss you, you unreliable person!
At the wedding venue.
The Watts and Schultz families were jointly hosting the wedding, creating a lavish scene with a large crowd.
As the host energetically announced, dressed in a white wedding gown, Doreen clung to an elders arm and gracefully made her way onto the stage.
At the other end of the stage stood Roscoe, clad in a red brocade tailcoat adorned with a grooms badge, his tall posture lending him a noble and elegant appearance.

Seeing Roscoes striking features, Doreens heart raced. She hadnt imagined this day would arrive so quickly. She had finally captured this proud man. She would soon be his wife!

.
As they drew closer and were about to join hands, Doreens elder tried to pass Doreens hand to Roscoe, but Roscoe didnt react. He maintained a stoic expression and did not take Doreens hand.
The mood on the stage turned somewhat awkward.
The host, wearing a strained smile, said, Groom, please take your brides hand.
Roscoe still did not respond.
The murmurs among the guests grew louder.
Whats going on? Does the groom not want to marry the bride?
Ive heard the bride can be quite domineering and tough to handle. It seems this kid isnt keen on marrying her!
If he doesnt want to marry her, he should have backed out earlier. Why cause such a scene now? Isnt this humiliating for both families?
I got to say this must be the consequence of a forced marriage
But havent you noticed something odd about the groom?
ihats odd about him?
Ive seen the groom before. His eyes didnt seem this dull.
To describe Roscoe as dull was an understatement. He was quite wired as if his soul had left him, resembling a finely carved wooden puppet.
