On either side, there was a self-service buffet table, filled with alcohols, drinks, cake, ice-cream…
Brad looked at the food counters set up and asked Anna, "Would you like something to eat or drink? I can go get you some ice cream, cake or whatnot."
"No thanks, I can take it myself," Anna replied, smiling.
"Hey, don't move, I'm just looking after my little sister-in-law." Brad held Anna back. "What flavor would you like?"
"I want chocolate and vanilla flavored ice cream. Can you also take a look if they have a red velvet cake?" Anna smiled, since he was already treating her as his sister-in-law, she won't stand on ceremony with Brad either.
"You really like to eat chocolate, huh," Brad smiled and walked off.
In the meantime, Anna scanned the nameplates on the table. As Brad was a has-been celebrity, the celebrities arranged to share the table with him were also some not so popular artists.
Some of them only had a little fame,
Hellen sighed, "It's fine if she's embarrassing just herself. It was alright if she had followed Older Sister right from the very start, at least outsiders would have known about Older Sister and her status. But as of now, Anna is a member of our family, if she embarrasses herself, they will blame it on us. Isn't… Isn't she just bullying us?"Tomas looked at the table far ahead, his gaze changed suddenly. "It's very crowded right now and people would notice it. Once we find the right opportunity, we'll chase her away!"He couldn't let Anna embarrass their family here!Did this man for once realize that the people around him were the embarrassment not Anna?A devilish smile flashed across Hellen’s face. At his side, Imelda comforted Tomas obediently, "Dad, don't be angry. Be careful of your body and don't hurt yourself. It would make Mom's and my heart ache a lot."As expected, Tomas expression became a lot lighter as he felt much
Taking advantage of Anna’s unpreparedness Tomas grabbed her arm and scolded her. "This isn't someplace where you can just come and go as per your wish, now hurry up and leave, don't embarrass yourself and me!""I have work to do here," Anna’s face darkened, she wanted to shrug away Tomas hand, but found that he was grabbing too tightly, and she could not get rid of his hand."Work? Did you really think that I did not see you by Brad’s side, acting so shamelessly? Leave this place quickly!" Tomas said as he gave a scornful sneer"Don't speak nonsense Tomas!" Anna said angrily.This person had no brain, he really could not see what the occasion and kind of place this was and started spouting rubbish as soon as he opened his mouth."There are reporters hidden in every corner in this banquet, be careful when you speak!" Anna warned in a low voice.Wanting her to leave?In her opinion, Tomas was the one who should l
Taking advantage of when George was not looking over, Tomas harshly glared at Anna.This daughter was here to cause him trouble!They were both daughters, but why was it that she differed so much from Imelda!Imelda was so thoughtful, always thinking of him first before doing anything.Whereas Anna just liked to oppose everything he said and there was not even a single good thing that he could associate with Anna.Because of her, now he had offended George.Tomas did not understand and was confused, if George did not like Anna, why did he insist on helping her out every single time.Probably, Anna must have badmouthed about him and Imelda while working at Wolf Corporation.From a young age, Anna had not brought him much good luck.At the time when Grace was still his wife, his business was very tough.It was only after Imelda had been born that his business expanded and his company became bigger and bigger each da
Actually, the initial guest list really did not have Imelda’s name on it, but every year some celebrities would use all kind of ways just to get an invitation from her subordinate who was responsible for sending out the invitations.Every year, there would be two or three invitations that would get leaked out, but that was a very normal thing.This year, when her subordinate had asked her about inviting Imelda, Kimberly agreed even though she knew that Imelda was scandal-ridden as she felt that Imelda’s scandal was a hot topic right now and it could increase the popularity of the charity night.Yet who knew that it would cause Steve to take notice and scold her for not doing things well.Therefore, without waiting for Imelda to hate her, Kimberly started to hate Imelda.If Imelda knew that she already had so many scandals, why was she still trying to cause trouble?Did she not have any self-awareness?Imelda could even rea
Kimberly turned around and went to report the situation to Steve Bush. As soon as Steve heard the news, he immediately gave George a call, "big bro, I've chased them away already, where are you now?" "As long as you've chased them away it's alright," George did not even bother to say anything else and just hung up the call. "…" Steve stared at his phone speechlessly, "aiyo! these group of big bros, all they do is kick people to the curb once they've outlived their usefulness." Steve thought about it, what did George say earlier? It seemed like he was near the washrooms. Then Steve stood up and headed towards the bathroom. ***** George lifted Anna’s wrist, he saw the reddened fingerprints on her hand and a sullen aura emanated from his whole body. "I regret hitting him too lightly just now!" said, his voice low and grave. "It's nothing, it seems too red, but it's really not that painful," it was just easy
Suppressing her laughter, Anna took out her phone and added Steve on W******p. "We brothers have this group, I'll add you to it," George said, "We are all close friends who have been playing together since childhood, most of us are already married, so the wives are also in the group." "I forgot who started it the group, but originally it was only meant for us single people, but ever since the first one found a wife, they started adding their wives to the group," Steve explained. It felt like it was a group of very close friends. Being added into the group meant that they considered her to be one of them. Anna thought in her heart, they had just started dating and she had been added to the group then would it not be awkward in case they were to break up in the future? Just as she got engrossed in her thoughts her phone started to vibrate wildly following the sound of notifications. "There's a new person in the group, I know who
At the Charity banquetAlthough Brad’s seating arrangement was affected due to his scandal, he still had the opportunity to participate in the celebrity group photo shoot that would be held at the end of the banquet.Anna lowered her voice and said, "I didn't have time to tell you just now, but in a while, when you go for the photo shoot, don't make your way to the center."Right now, Brad probably needed to stand in the back few rows, and even if it was at the back few rows, he should not stand at the Cposition.Every year at the charity night, there would be a fight for the C position, but it mostly occurred between the female celebrities.Some pretended to be dumb and blur, some were calculative, while some directly fought for it, and the whole scene was really ugly."Why? Right now my exposure is not enough, if I don't steal a center position during the photo shoot, no one will notice me. Even though the fighting for a C posi
The banquet ended around midnight. George was still recalling Anna’s word. Maybe later. He the gaze at Anna intensely without saying a word. Anna felt his piercing gaze on her so she asked,” what is it?” “Do you remember what you said before we went into the banquet?” George asked as he drive. No, please remind me,” Anna replied innocently. Mmmh,” he the packed the car by the road side the turn to face Anna. “okay, do you really need a reminder?” he said playfully as he pretends to remove his seatbelt. Anna felt nervous, “okay, I remember, but what about mom, I have to go check on her.” George pondered for sometimes before saying,” it’s already late, mom is already asleep and the hospital won’t allow you entrance at this hour. So its best you go tomorrow morning.” Anna felt like George’s explanation made sense. So she said, “okay, but your home is far and I don’t want to be late tomorrow as I will have to
One week later, wake of down the media was in uproar by what happened the night before, no one expected the downfall of Cobby family within a night. The family were happy celebrating with the other rich family daughter that was to have engagement with mike.The engagement was set for the other week and it was day for formality where the girls family would come and visit the boy’s family.During the dinner the FBI budge into the house and arrested all the Cobby family that include mike as his company was also involved with shady business. The arrest was to first that they had no time to react at all.With all the evidence against them, no one wanted to associate with them as they were afraid of being implicated. Even the girl’s family cut ties with them.Monday morning was an uproar, with all media outlet reporting about the downfall of the Cobby family. Imelda watched the news with mockery laughter, as she saw the Cobby family being take
He found a good angle in the kitchen, set up the phone stand, and fixed his phone on the stand. Then he realized, “This is not right. If I live stream, then I won’t be able to search recipes on my phone. Wait for a while.”He went to take the iPad. Searched for the recipe and then started cooking. He was preparing sun side egg, sausages and some toast bread with bacon and fruit juice. But all was through Anna’s guidance.Finally, a simple breakfast was completed. He hurriedly carried it back.Anna took a small table and placed it on the bed, then ate on the bed with George.“Try it.” It was his first time making breakfast. It looked alright, but he was not sure about the taste and felt a little nervous.Anna looked at George’s hand, which was placed on the small table. His fingers looked so nice, as if they had never gotten dirty. These beautiful hands had just made her breakfast.Although the meal w
George propped Anna up to sit. Anna still looked like a boneless lump of meat. After she had eaten the candy, her throat felt cold and much better. Her voice sounded more normal.However, it was so painful that even after she woke up, she did not want to move at all. Leaning on the pillow, she tilted her head lazily towards George until it fell on his shoulder. “I don’t want to get up. I don’t want to move.”Anna pouted and said, “Lazy.”George turned his head and kissed her lips a few times. “Then, are you hungry?”“I don’t feel hungry now but I might be later.” She raised her arm and placed it on her stomach.Even the movement of raising her arm made her arm extremely sore.Just because of this, she did not want to get out of bed today. She was thinking about it and said out loud, “I don’t want to get out of bed today.”Who knew that right after Anna
The thing that Anna worried about did not exist at all.Even if she did not wear makeup, she could still look amazing in this grand and exquisite wedding dress.That small face of hers looked exceptionally exquisite with this wedding dress.“How is my wife so beautiful?” George muttered. It was as if he said it subconsciously and had accidentally voiced his thoughts.She clearly heard him say such things quite often usually, but at this moment, George’s careful and gentle gaze coupled with his words made her feel so shy that she could not even lift her head up.Yet George was still staring at her. He even took another two steps back so that he could see her from top to toe at once.Although Anna’s head was lowered, she could still clearly feel his gaze on her. Seeing that he was actually not done staring, Anna finally could not help but look up, feeling a little shy as she said, “What are you still staring at?&r
George and Anna returned home. When Anna was done washing up in the bathroom and opened the door, she saw George blocking her right at the door.He had already changed into comfortable home clothes. It was a simple short-sleeved t-shirt paired with loose and long cotton pants. She could smell the scent of shampoo and shower gel from his body, so he had probably just bathed. He did not style his hair like he did usually in the day.Now that he was relaxed, his hair also lay softly on his forehead, and he looked much younger.He was a grown, mature man who was more than thirty years old, but at this moment, he looked just like a twenty something only a few years older than a teenager, which was a far cry from how mature he usually looked like.George lowered his head and kissed her lips as she walked towards him as usual. Anna was not prepared at all and gasped, taking half a step back subconsciously.Alas, George’s movements were even faster.
The brothers made up half of the groomsmen! It’s like they were not afraid of others knowing that there were single.Old Madan Bells heard her grandson greet her. She then responded angrily, “Bad!”Gabriel and Graviel blinked innocently, wondering what had just happened.Old Mrs. Howells said in an angry tone, “This is a table full of singles. You two are part of this group and you are proud of yourselves? Do you think it’s good to be groomsmen? Married people can’t be groomsmen! Only singles can be groomsmen!”Niel felt speechless.If this grandma wanted to scold her grandsons, she should just target her grandsons. Don’t hurt the innocent ones!Niel felt as though he was being scolded as well!He raised his hand and scratched his nose as he quietly moved away from Graviel and Gabriel.: “…”Liam was unhappy. He was not single. How could Old Mrs. Howells
Finally, martin and Anna stopped in front of George. It was a short red carpet, but George felt that it was too long. Anna seemed to take forever to reach him.Just like in their previous lives, when she took an entire lifetime and a fresh start to be with him…He had waited a lifetime and finally found herMartin recalled what he just said to Anna outside the doors and immediately had a feeling like his daughter was getting stolen by someone. And he instantly understood how fathers felt marrying off their daughters. He couldn’t bear to let her go and didn’t want to hand her over.“Dad.” George reminded Martin to quickly hand Anna to him.Anna turned and saw the reluctance on Martin’s face. And she couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. She was also a daughter treasured by her father!Seeing Martin’s attitude, the guests were sure Martin really saw Anna as his own daughter. He used to help A
Anna had never thought of such a good thing before. In the past, she only thought of getting away from the William family and leading a good life with Grace.In the end, not only did she manage to get away, but she even met George. Then, after that, she thought that getting together with him was already the Heavens taking pity on her after seeing how tragic her past life had been.Yet she did not expect that she could also have a father like Martin. Martin fulfilled all the wishes and dreams she had of a father. Upright, nice, and an honorable role model for his children.“Dad,” Anna called.Martin just felt that how Anna addressed him just now was worth a thousand pieces of gold.“Yes!” martin also answered in an equally heartfelt and cherishing manner.“Thank you, thank you for letting me have a father. Thank you for treating me like your biological daughter. I never thought that I could have such a wonderful
Anyway, George and Anna were already husband and wife. They had simply posed an appropriate challenge for the men when they came to fetch the bride and would consider it a pass once they’d had some fun.They would not really stop George.So when they reached the door to Anna’s bedroom, Nicole and the others did not stop him. They just smiled happily and waited for him to enter.George glanced at them with uncertainty and caution as he asked, “You’re letting me in now?”Nicole tsked and said, “You think we’re letting you enter too easily, is that it?”As she said that, Nicole took out her phone and said, “Then you wait for a moment, I will search and see if there are any other ways to prank the groom.”“Wait!” George immediately stopped her and said, “Please have mercy, please have mercy!”Nicole could not help but laugh and say, “I was letting yo
