Wendy paused for a few seconds just then, and the guests at the scene all turned in shock toward John and Cordy.Cordy was pursing her lips, surprised that Wendy would suddenly mention her.Nonetheless, Wendy continued, "I know you've been good to me and earnestly wanted to be with me, but I must say that Cordy is a better fit for you. I can also tell that you have feelings for her although you keep hiding it deliberately. Are you perhaps afraid that she would reject you?""Actually, as a fellow woman, I can feel that Cordy loves you too. I don't know what happened between you that you deliberately kept your distance, but I earnestly feel that you both deserve each other. I asked Dicky too, and he admitted that he liked me but he still rather his parents get back together."Cordy turned toward Richard, who had been constantly tagging along at John's side.His face was still a child's, but he was over five feet tall and could play the role of John's best man.Though dressed smartl
#Cordy stared at John, watching as tears seemed to well up in his eyes. She was not sure if he was devastated that Wendy suddenly left him at the altar or over something else.Suddenly, she realized that she could not think straight, and her emotions were a mess.For the first time, she had no idea what she wanted to do."Wendy's right, and actually…" John said, gulping. "This wedding was prepared for you."Cordy's heart skipped a beat, surprise showing in her eyes.She thought Wendy running away from her wedding was expected, since Wendy was too self-indulgent to let go of the many vices the world had to offer.She just did not expect John to prepare the wedding for her.She was skeptical too, because John had no idea what Wendy was really like and therefore would never anticipate whether Wendy would come to the wedding hall.As such, Cordy felt a little repulsed.If John openly admitted to being tricked and asked her to help him save face, she might have agreed to it—this
The endless silence only made everyone anticipate Cordy's response more.After all, they could all tell that he was hopelessly in love with Cordy.Still, there was no telling what she was thinking just then, and she simply stared at John while he stared back.They were both silent while Richard stood nearby, staring blankly at them.He knows that this was his daddy's last chance—that he would have no more chances if his mommy still rejected him…But he really wanted them to get back together, and honestly felt that his daddy loved his mommy dearly.He had no idea how devastated his daddy would be to lose his mommy.He really did so much for her, going to the extreme lengths of playing pretend lovers with Wendy so that mommy would marry him…"I'm sorry," Cordy suddenly said.It was a rejection the instant she spoke.John smiled in relief, but his eyes were tearful.His heart really ached, but he truly gave in this time.He knew he had really hurt Cordy too much, that she did
John really had no idea if he could take another blow, only for his shred of hope to be ultimately crushed.He restrained himself, gulping endlessly while his large hand clenched into a fist unwittingly in clear restraint.However, he still turned to face Cordy.Yes.Even if it was just a tiny shred of hope, his chest was still filled with it.He looked at Cordy as her lips curled upward—a suffocating sight of beauty.He thought he saw tears in Cordy's eyes too and wondered if he had just imagined it.After all, his own tears were blurring his own vision even though he was trying his best to blink them back."I thought it was over between us," Cordy said softly, looking at John and his tense reaction. "We've gone through so much… doubt, death, and having someone else, that I really thought was one bridge too far."John looked at Cordy nervously, yearning so much to tell her that it was not the case.He could admit that he really did forget about her in his amnesia, but when h
Cordy headed to the anteroom as a bridesmaid and was now suddenly a bride.This wedding would certainly go down as one of the more astounding ones in history!She put on the bridal dress she tried on before, and it really seemed to be tailored according to her body's measurements.Still, she found herself in a daze, as if it was all unreal.Just yesterday, she felt that there was such an insurmountable distance between them, only for them to get married today."Wow, that bridal gown is just so gorgeous! You look so beautiful in it!" The staff were fawning over Cordy.Even Quinn, who was in the anteroom with Cordy, was dazzled by the dress.She certainly looked exceedingly beautiful, and Quinn was unsure to praise her or the dress—both seemed to fuse together."I really doubt that the bridal dress was not tailored according to your measurement." She could not help sighing.As Quinn glanced at her through the dressing mirror, she smiled. "To think I'd be a bridesmaid twice in on
When Cordy said yes to his proposal, John noticed her glancing behind himself at Richard.But whatever the case maybe, he was rejoicing that she would say yes and would never ask for more.In fact, he was a little flustered, unsure as to what he should do to not annoy Cordy.On the other hand, Cordy noticed the tiny beads of sweat over John's forehead.However, the day's climate was just right, and there was even a breeze—but he was sweating anyway.Was it perhaps from nerves?She also noticed that John was reaching for her hand.She was ready to take it, but John ended up lowering his hands, his entire figure looking very stiff.Was that nerves too?Was he more nervous than she was?Cordy pursed her lips and suddenly reached out to take John's hand.John's whole body flinched visibly.Below the stage, Zoe giggled—the dauntless John Levine was bristling from Cordy's touch!Truly, everything has a weakness, and John was destined to be at Cordy's mercy.That thought alone l
While everyone was charmed by Yelena, John grinned and patted her little head with a tender look on his face. "Well, we can't give you another brother, but maybe a younger sister.""Don't lie to me like my parents," Yelena said very seriously."Okay!""Yippee! I'm going to have a younger sister!" Yelena exclaimed excitedly. "Can I see her tomorrow?"John was speechless—not even a stork could deliver a baby that quickly."Come down, Yelena!" Zoe yelled from below stage just then. "You're not getting married! Why are you hogging all the spotlight?!""My mommy is a baddie." Yelena pouted—she was not allowed to kiss her daddy, and she could not speak too?!Still, complaints notwithstanding, Yelena was obedient as she always had been and strode down the stage on her little feet.The host quickly smooths things over while announcing loudly, "And now, for the exchanging of rings."John and Cordy traded glances, and John took out Cordy's ring first before carefully sliding it on her r
"Ahem!"The emcee cleared his throat just then, interrupting John and Cordy.They were actually afraid to kiss a moment ago but were now too into it.The wedding luncheon was going to get cold.John and Cordy in turn came to their senses and slowly pulled away, their lips flushed in passion, and Cordy's were a little swollen upon a closer look. The emcee chuckled. "Anyway, the bride and bridegroom can pick up where they left off at the bridal suite. After all, a lot of people are waiting for the luncheon."John and Cordy blushed harder, with Cordy wondering how she had become lost in it.She could not help pursing her lips—John's taste still lingered over them."I hereby announce that the two wedding ceremonies have officially concluded, and now it is the photo session. All guests may come on stage to take photos with the two couples," the emcee said loudly.And with those words, many of the guests proceeded on stage, competing to take photos with the two newlywed couples sin
