Chapter 16 A Wedding Without the Groom (Part 2)

Author: Ann1
Vallerie was elated as Adeline finally accepted the gift. She caressed Adeline's face fondly and said, "Good girl."

Looking at how glad Vallerie was, Adeline didn't say anything else, for it would have sounded pretentious.

"Thank you, Grandma."

"Madam Vallerie, the wedding is starting soon. Maybe we should let Madam Adeline go back and rest," George reminded Vallerie.

"Oh, look at me! We've forgotten the time. Adeline, go back to your room, have some rest, and fix your makeup. You're the bride, and you'll be the most beautiful person today."

"Then I'll be heading back, Grandma," Adeline excused herself and turned to head towards the door.

......

Adeline had just returned to the dressing room when Nicholas and Martha came in with an attractive man. Adeline looked at them with confusion written all over her face. Nicholas then said earnestly, "Adeline, let me introduce you to Christiano's younger brother, Sandrino Lockwood."

Sandrino walked

    When Adeline realized what the pastor had said, she could already hear snickers among the guests. Some even started to gossip. As the voices grew louder, Adeline took a deep breath and plastered on a sweet smile. She then took the ring from the bridesmaid and wore it on her ring finger. ...... Adeline sat in a luxurious car and stared at the view outside. Slowly, the car drove to a villa and stopped. The villa had a vermilion gate with two bronze rounded copper lion heads as decorations. The bright lights above the gate shone on the lion statues, and it glistered in faint gold light. The decorations and details on merely the gate displayed its owner's notable reputation. Adeline thought her home was luxurious enough, but it was incomparable to the Lockwood family's villa. The gate of the villa slowly opened, and the car came to a halt. George stepped forward to open and hold the door for Adeline. He greeted, "Madam Adeline, welcome home. Please come

    "Mom, I'm ready," Adeline said after she finished changing. Walking out of the changing room, she noticed that Martha didn't change into the sterile suit. She wondered if Martha was going to let her meet Christiano for the first time on her own. Martha brought Adeline to an isolated room. She pointed to the door and told Adeline, "You'll go in alone. We've already gone in today so we can't visit him again." Adeline nodded and said docilely, "Okay, Mom." As she said that, she pushed the door open and walked through it. Martha watched Adeline as she entered the room. Taking a glance at the room inside, a trace of pain flashed across her eyes. She closed them shut and opened them again before she turned to leave. Meanwhile, Adeline headed into the room wearing the sterile suit. There were many pieces of advanced medical equipment in the room, and each was comparable to the ones in the hospital. "Hi, I assume you're Christiano's newlywed wife, Adeline?" A man

    Adeline bid Ethan goodbye and went ahead to change back to her clothes. She was about to leave when she spotted Sandrino coming into the room. Sandrino caught sight of Adeline, and his face lit up with a bright smile. Adeline could hear his voice from a distance, "Adeline, are you here to visit Christiano?" "Sandrino, you must be here to visit him too. I just came out, and Dr. Gardner is still inside, so you can go straight in. I'm heading back." Adeline was ready to leave when Sandrino suddenly stopped her, and he said with a smile, "Forget it, I'll skip seeing him today. Why don't I keep you company and give you a tour around?" Then, Sandrino reached out to hold Adeline's hand. But Adeline was quick to pull her hand away from his grasp, and she told Sandrino, "Thank you for your kindness, Sandrino. I can walk on my own." Sandrino noticed how tactful Adeline was, so he didn't say anything further. He smiled at Adeline and took her to tour around the villa

    With her head tilted, Adeline was eating in silence when she heard Vallerie asked about her, and she was touched. Quickly, she raised her head and said, "I will, Grandma." At that moment, Nicholas had already finished his meal. He wiped his mouth, then he looked at Adeline and said, "Adeline, you should visit your parents. I'll ask George to prepare some things for you to bring back home, and Sandrino will drive you there." "I'm full now. Mom, please excuse me," He wiped his mouth again, then he got up and walked towards the study room. Adeline also stood up abruptly and stopped him nervously, "Dad, I'll have the driver to send me back tomorrow. Sandrino has to work tomorrow, so it's better not to trouble him." Nicholas stopped in his tracks and turned to glance at Sandrino, who was still at the dinner table. Then, he looked at Adeline and nodded, "Up to you." "Thanks, Dad." After that, Adeline returned to her seat at the dinner table. She noticed th

    The air turned thick with tension. Sandrino's soft voice reverberated like thunder to Adeline's ears.  Her face darkened at that. She raised her pointed chin, looked up, and locked her eyes on Sandrino's smiling ones. "Go ahead and tell Mom and Dad about it then. Nothing is going on between us anyway, so there's nothing anyone can talk about. Medical technology has become so advanced now as well. I trust it to help to prove my loyalty to Christiano." The dim lighting in the corridor that shone above them cast a yellow hue over them. At that moment, Adeline looked like a fairy – divine, untouchable, and unbelievably magical. Sandrino narrowed his eyes at her determined face. A strange feeling arose in him, but above all, embarrassment started to settle in. He hurriedly to apologize, "I'm sorry, Adeline. I had a little too much to drink. I'll take it into my own hands later." After that, he turned away and made his way downstairs. Adeline sighed a breath of relief. Her

    "Miss Simpson, don't you like it?" Mabel asked and looked at Adeline dubiously. The young ladies who frequented her shop usually would complain about the gown not being revealing enough. Adeline was embarrassed to look at Mabel for that. Even though these gowns were beautiful, they weren't how she liked them. Meanwhile, Mabel was in a dilemma. These dresses were the best in their shop. Besides, they were designed by renowned designers, and many of them were one of the kind. If Adeline didn't like any of them, Mabel had no idea where else she could get one that suited her tastes.  Just when Mabel was thinking about other alternatives, a staff came up to Mabel with a package in her hand, "This is for Miss Simpson." "Miss Simpson, your parcel," Mabel informed accordingly and handed it to Adeline with both hands. "For me?" Adeline echoed back in doubt as she reached out to take it. She then put it on the table and began to unwrap it. Upon opening the pac

    Adeline looked up blankly at the handsome man in front of her. Culver's tall figure loomed over Adeline, effectively blocking her means of escape. There was a faint smile on his sculpted face, and his eyes were a blue that resembled sapphire. They were so deep, almost deep enough to swim in. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lester," Adeline put on an awkward smile. "Miss Simpson, it seems that you haven't been enjoying yourself here," Culver stated as he swept a quick gaze across the party before turning to Adeline. Adeline looked at him and replied with a faint smile, "No, it's nothing. It's just that I've been standing around for quite some time now, so my legs felt a bit sore. I was just resting." Culver only nodded in acknowledgment after hearing Adeline's words. His gaze still unwaveringly fixed on her.  He thought Adeline looked stunningly attractive. Her skin was fair enough to resemble snow, and it glowed prettily under the lights too. It was difficult to ke

    Adeline didn't know how long she had been crying. It wasn't until a long while later when she realized that her head was still leaning on Sandrino's shoulder after she had calmed down. She quickly sat up straight and apologized, "I'm sorry, I soiled your clothes." Seeing that Adeline's mood seemed to have gotten better, Sandrino knew that she had temporarily gotten over her sadness. He then smirked at her and teased, "It's alright. Just heed my words next time, then we'll be even." Adeline glared at him at that and then turned to look out, ignoring him.   Seeing that she was angry, Sandrino curled his lips and said, "Hey, come on. You can't ignore me right after I've lent you a shoulder to cry on." Adeline continued to look outside, persistent in turning a blind eye to him.  Not long after, Sandrino had managed to drive them back to the villa. Once the car was parked, Adeline got out of it and saw that the lights were still on in the living room. Her heart

    "Xiaowan..." Christiano yelled at the top of the mountain. His sorrowful voice lingered around the valley for a long time... A year later... The Lockwood family in Caulford City was the wedding day of Sandrino and Gu Xiaobei's wedding. Almost all the influential people in the business world were present. The wedding was very lively. When Gu Xiaobei heard that her big belly was slowly showing up, Sandrino hurriedly went up to her and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Why did you come out?" "Is it really boring to stay in the room? Besides, it's my wedding today. As a bride, of course, I should come out and have a look!" Looking at Gu Xiaobei, who was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, Lu Yangzhe's face was full of helplessness and love. A year ago, the trap of the Huya Mountain was destroyed. Adeline, Bai Qian'er, and Alice were all missing. Lu Yang was seriously ill. Bai Ye and all of Kaiser's followers were a

    "What's wrong with you?" Seeing that no one was talking, Gu Xiaobei just looked at her stupidly. "Adele, your president is..." "It's my dad!" Before Bai Ziqi could finish her words, she was caught by Gu Xiaobei. "The reason why Brother Lu's case can be found out so quickly is also because of you?" "Not entirely. I just mentioned it to my father when I went back, but he said that it was a matter of your country. Because it didn't involve other countries, he couldn't show up. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly sent an email, which was full of crimes committed by Queen Yea over the years. Because the crime committed by Queen Yea has seriously affected many countries, my father asked people to investigate it. What followed is what you saw." Gu Xiaobei's words were very relaxed. Bai Zixi sighed and said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the U.S. was so straightforward this time. It turned out that there was someone behind it." As he

    Nan Xin looked at Xiaodong carefully and found that he was not uncomfortable, so he stopped asking. At this time, Adeline woke up. "What's wrong with me?" "You fainted just now. Maybe it's because of the poison barrier here. But now you have taken the herbs that specialize in treating the poison barrier. It's all right." "Sorry to have caused you so much trouble." As he struggled, Adeline saw Bai Ye and the European Emperor confronting each other with guns. "Bai Ye, you actually dared to secretly bring Su and the others here behind Queen Kaiser's back. Are you trying to steal those treasures for yourself?" Bai Ye sneered and looked at the Ou Emperor, saying, "Emperor Ou, since you found out, I'm not afraid of you knowing. What can you do to me if I want to monopolize those treasures, or are you willing to be a dog around her?" "Bai Ye, Queen Kaiser treats you well. Don't you think you're ungrateful?" Hearing this, Bai Ye laughed out loud.

    Early the next morning, Adeline and the others were woken up by the sound of gunshots. "What happened?" Alice opened the zipper of the tent and walked out. They saw that their tent had already been surrounded by Bai Ye's men. Soon, they knew what was going on. However, soon after, the gunshots came to an abrupt end. Adeline didn't seem to mind at all, only tightly holding Little Dong in his arms. "It seems that some people can't wait to start." "Xiaowan, do you think Ling Yu and Tang Qi will be discovered by them?" There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Luo Luo said with some fear. Compared with Alice, he was calmer. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry. Since they know our purpose, they won't act on their own." "Luoluo, you have to trust Ling Yu." "Yes." At this time, Xie San's voice came from outside the tent. "Xiaowan, get ready. It's time to go." Xie San's voice was low and deep, very pleasant to listen to.

    "Since he is leading the way, let's take him with us!" Adeline pulled the child to his side and glared at the two men with an ugly expression. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Simpson." "Time to go!" Looking at their backs, the man next to Bai Ye said unhappily, "Why is Old Master so partial to her?" "Whether we can find the treasure or not depends on them. Let's follow them for the time being." How could someone who had accomplished great things care about these trivial matters? "Sister, I want to go home." As soon as the little boy got rid of the men's hands, he cried loudly. Adeline knew that Bai Ye would never agree to let him go. The reason why she took him to her side was that she hoped that she could take more care of him along the way. "I'm sorry, little brother. This sister helped you temporarily, because she was caught by them just like you." "Don't worry. Staying with us is better than staying with those p

    Taoping Town was an ancient town. It was surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. Perhaps because of the natural environment, all the people here lived a particularly happy life. Young people would go out to adventure, and some old people would stay in the estate left by the ancestors of the guardian. Perhaps it was because of the special environment here, and there were often grave robbers here. However, the appearance of so many people this time made the people of Tanping Town a little scared. Everyone would stand at the door of their own houses and look at those people. "Grandpa, what are these people doing here?" A little boy looked up at the old man standing beside him and asked in a low voice. "No matter what they are doing, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Let's go inside." "Are they here for the baby tiger?" As soon as he finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth in a hurry, and his face changed slightly. He scolded angrily,

    Three days later, Adeline followed Bai Ye to Yaoping Town, but he didn't see Bai Lang. At this time, Tang Qi and the others, who had been waiting for Adeline in Tanping Town, had already received the news that Adeline had come in. "What should we do now?" After confirming the location of Adeline's residence, Tang Qi and the others gathered together to discuss how to rescue him. Suddenly, an uninvited guest came from outside the door. "Seventh Young Master, long time no see?" She walked in slowly with graceful steps and greeted Tang Qi with a faint smile. "Rumor has it that Young Master Rong isn't feeling well all year round and has been resting at home. I wonder what brought you here?" "Of course it's you." Hearing this, Tang Qi suddenly smiled. Two people came forward and hugged each other tightly, causing everyone present to be stunned. Especially Tang Qi, an inexplicable anger came from the bottom of her heart. She stepped forwar

    "In the past few days, you might be able to appease the employees of the company. You don't need to keep those who want to resign too much. What our Lu Enterprises needs is people who can fight to the death with the company, not people who run away when they are in trouble." "But big brother, there have been too many things happening in the past two years. If we do this again, won't it cause public disgust?" "In the end, Lu Yangzhe was still a little worried. After all, the power of public opinion is too great. It's okay for the country to be affected, but it'll be more difficult for foreign subsidiary companies and famous brands to rise again once they are seriously injured." "You have to remember that the reputation of a company is very important, but his quality is even more important. If everyone only likes this brand instead of the quality of our product, then it doesn't matter if you don't want such a customer." He, Christiano, wanted to do the best work.

    "Baby, can you understand the English on it?" Xu Lu came forward and asked, looking at the number that was quickly rolling on the screen. "Auntie, you don't know yet, do you? Zi Yao has the ability to see all kinds of things, and his English is better than mine." Jiaqi, who was standing by the side, seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness she had just had. She saw Lu Ziyan sitting in front of the computer table, looking particularly handsome. Her beautiful eyes were full of pride. It was as if she was the only one who had done it. "Do you all know each other?" Obviously, Bai Ziqi's words shocked both Bai Ziqi and Xu Ran so much that they couldn't even say a word. Was this still a three-year-old child? Why did they have a feeling that the sky was about to change? After making sure that Lu Ziming was fine, Bai Ziqi and Xu Lulu left the room, ready to inquire about Christiano's situation. "What did you say?" "One minute ago, we receiv
