Chapter 257 : Wedding
Bruce nodded awkwardly, with some unconvincing grumbling on his face. “Wheel warfare ah that is, I can’t win even if I want to.”
“You guys are so idle.” Lindsey laughed out lightly. “So you lost, were you forced to agree to some unequal treaty.”
Bruce was a second late and nodded graciously. “I promise them that I will not fail you in this life.”
Lindsey was noncommittal and did not believe that several of his brothers would let him off so easily.
But since he didn’t want to say, Lindsey didn’t bother to ask.
The day must go on, and it’s impossible for someone to say something and not live it.
It was already late when we got back to the Royal Garden, so the two of us casually washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, the neighbors in the neighborhood came to congratulate each other, whether they were invited or not.
Lindsey, dressed in a red cheongsam with comfortable flat shoes, and Bruce, quietly followed the Aidan’s as they stood outside the courtyard to welcome the guests.
There were many people coming, and most of them were of good standing, even leaders who were often in the news were in attendance.
The security of the entire Imperial Garden was raised to the highest level, and if you look closely, you can still see heavy armor hidden nearby, as well as helicopter gunships.
There were also some inconvenient appearances, and special congratulatory gifts were sent over.
The three brothers of The Heard family with their respective wives, under Jack’s lead, passed through the post at the bottom of the hill to verify their identities, one after another back to the car to continue up the hill.
Warren had been to the Old Mr. Grant’s residence at Nine Lakes when he was on assignment, so it was no surprise, but the others were a bit shaken by their first experience with such a check.
When they arrived outside the villa, everyone got out of the car and saw Aidan beside Lindsey, and all of them changed their faces.
Especially Fiona.
She only knew that The Grant family was not low status in the capital, but how could she not associate the one who was often in the news with Bruce.
“Army Chief Grant is Bruce’s great uncle.” Warren saw his wife’s surprised face and couldn’t help but quietly reassure her. “Don’t be too nervous, just think of it as being in your own home.”
Fiona nodded shakily, thinking how could she not be nervous.
The person you only saw on the news is now standing in front of you, and smiling at you like a spring breeze, and you’re scared to death.
The wedding was not very big, the banquet was set up in the courtyard of the villa, by the time it was almost noon, the guests were almost all there.
Lindsey was so tired that her legs were sore and she wanted to find a place to rest several times, but when she met Laura’s gaze, she had to keep going.
As the last guest on the guest list arrived, Lindsey thought she could finally sit down and rest, but then Old Mr. Gregor came to the door with Randy.
Once Old Mr. Gregor arrived, Aidan’s greeting was obviously not enough.
Old Mr. Grant, who was receiving other important guests in the living room, heard the news and left the living room immediately. As soon as he left, the other guests followed, quietly exchanging pleasantries.
The two old generals do not get along, everyone knows, today Old Mr. Grant’s grandson had a wedding, Old Mr. Gregor brought his grandson to the door to congratulate, how it does not seem to be sincere.
As for how outsiders see it does not matter, Lindsey still trusts the two old people.
Old Mr. Gregor’s temper is indeed explosive, but not as horrible as the rumors. The old Mr. Grant and the old Mr. Gregor are fighting as soon as they meet, but there’s nothing angry in their words.
After welcoming Old Mr. Gregor to the living room, the wedding reception began.
The main table is Old Mr. Grant and other elders of the old generation, and important leaders, the next head is the young generation mainly Aidan, and then down are the family members of the woman and some younger generation of similar age.
As for people like Aurora, they had to sit in the courtyard.
She didn’t want to come, but the two families live next door to each other, and her grandfather came out of the hospital to congratulate her, so she couldn’t continue to behave herself.
After making a fool of herself at the press conference a few days ago, Aurora didn’t even go to school and has been locked up at home.
Today, she saw Lindsey wearing a cheongsam that she had picked out earlier, so she couldn’t say how angry she was.
Lindsey and Bruce as the new couple, a toast is naturally inevitable. In order to keep the pregnancy from being revealed, Bruce filled a large bottle of mineral water into the wine bottle last night.
After toasting the important guests in the living room, the two of them came to the courtyard and made the usual toast before going back, only to be stopped by Randy.
“Just one toast, isn’t that not enough.” Randy’s voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for a group of family members outside the courtyard to hear.
Everyone wanted to see how Bruce would deal with it, but Bruce didn’t care at all, smiled and answered, “I’ll set up a table at the Royal Food Place tonight, 7 o’clock sharp, don’t be late.”
“Good idea.” Randy also smiled, raised the glass in his hand and drained the wine in one gulp.
After the little interlude, Bruce and Lindsey returned to the living room and sat down exhausted to eat.
Lindsey was tired all morning and had no appetite at all, but could not be rude enough to not eat a bite, the little face unconsciously wrinkled.
“You can eat a little bit, and when we get back to the old house, I’ll cook you ravioli.” Bruce lowered his voice and whispered quietly to her. “You’re exhausted.”
“Almost. I didn’t think it would be too hard, but I didn’t expect it to be so much trouble.” Lindsey grumbled, and picked up her chopsticks with good grace.
The wedding reception lasted until after 2:00 p. m. The two of them returned to the living room after seeing off the guests, too tired to move.
Old Mr. Grant knew Lindsey was pregnant, so he sent them back to the old house to rest.
Lindsey sighed with relief and went upstairs with Bruce to change into her regular clothes and went downstairs exhausted.
After coming down from the mountain, Lindsey fell asleep in a short time, really tired.
When we got back to the old house, Bruce couldn’t wake her up, so he got out of the car and carried her all the way to the side yard.
After returning her to her bedroom, he rested for a while and immediately went to the kitchen to cook ravioli for her.
After it was done, when it was almost warm, he figured Lindsey might not be awake yet, so he picked up the bowl and brought it to his room to wake her up.
“How long have I been asleep?” Lindsey sat up with a confused look on her face and looked at him uncomfortably. “You went to cook ravioli when you got back?”
“Afraid you’d be hungry.” Bruce smiled dotingly and reached over to bring the ravioli over, scooping one up with a spoon and carefully bringing it to her mouth. “It’s not hot anymore, so eat it.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Lindsey opened her mouth and ate one, bringing the bowl over herself and letting go of her belly to feast.
“You don’t want to come back hungry for wontons when there’s so much to eat.” Bruce was so angry and amused. “My son is starving.”
“You’re lucky I didn’t throw up.” Lindsey bristled and asked, “Are you really going to invite Randy to dinner tonight?”
“Well, I said it in front of all those people, so I can’t not count it.” Bruce leaned lazily into the bed and laughed out mysteriously. “Don’t worry, I’ll get him drunk.”
Lindsey intuited that his approach was not good, pursed her lips and did not say anything, and her face did not look good.
Bruce was afraid that she was worried, so he had to say his intention, so that she would not think too much.
“Or don’t, he almost made a big mess last time he drank.” Lindsey remembered that he had been drugged by Burton before and instinctively stopped. “You drink less too.”
“Well, since my wife has given the word, I’ll let him off the hook for once.” Bruce yawned and drifted off to sleep with his eyes closed.
Lindsey finished the ravioli in one gulp and turned around to see him asleep, and couldn’t help but feel amused.
After getting up and returning the bowl to the kitchen, she thought about it and went back to get her cell phone to call Fiona.
There was no sense in letting Tankard and the others know where she was staying when she was already here.
The phone call was answered, Lindsey simply said what she meant and told them to wait in the hotel lobby, Hector personally went to pick up.
Fiona hadn’t said a word when she heard a shout from around her.
Lindsey was shocked and immediately asked Fiona what had happened.
Fiona was obviously stunned, and it took her a while to react, saying incoherently, “It’s the big star Larissa, it’s a big show.”
Lindsey was amused to hear that it was Larissa, and said a few more words before hanging up the phone and calling Larissa.
Larissa had a new movie on the screen recently, so she was probably on a promotional trip, and it took a long time for the phone to ring.
“Hey, I heard you’re in Jinhua, do you have time tonight.” Lindsey smiled and said, “I’m getting married, today.”
Larissa froze for a second, avoided her assistant and makeup artist, and ran quickly to the lounge. “Lindsey you’re kidding, it’s such a big deal, you’ve been busy before telling me.”
“I can’t help it, the wedding banquet was held at the Royal Garden, I couldn’t invite you even if I wanted to.” Lindsey spat out her tongue. “We’re setting up a table at the Royal Food Place in the evening, so you must find time to come over.”
“No problem, I’ll be there.” Larissa readily agreed, and then went into complaining mode, giving Lindsey a hard time.
Lindsey listened to her for almost ten minutes with a smile on her face, and finally couldn’t resist reminding her. “Don’t you have an event to do.”
“Oh no, I’m going to be killed by you …,” Larissa exclaimed, hanging up the phone quickly.
Lindsey smiled pleasantly away and got up to find Hector, asking him to arrange a car to go to Jinhua and pick up all three brothers and sister-in-law.
Warren will be transferred to B City at the end of the year, which was decided by Old Mr. Grant, Lindsey could not say whether it was a good or bad thing, but for Warren, it was a great thing.
He has been in L city for so many years, but is still only a major, came to the capital city directly promoted to a level. With his ability, in a year or two, he could be promoted to major.
Informing the logistics to prepare tea and fruit, Lindsey sat for a while longer and thought it was about time to go back to his room to wake Bruce.
“I want to continue to sleep a little more.” Bruce, exhausted from the past few days, reached out with his arms and easily dragged her to the bed for a tight hug. “You stay with me.”
“Better get up, brother and sisters-in-law will be here later.” Lindsey pinched his ear in amusement. “Come over to acknowledge them, they’re going back this afternoon.”
“Why didn’t you say so …” Bruce wailed and got up sharply.
After washing up and going to the living room, the Tankard brothers also entered the door.
They sat down in the living room for a short rest before Lindsey led Fiona and her other two sisters-in-law on a tour of the yard.
After walking for a while, Fiona pulled Lindsey and asked in a quiet voice, “Lindsey, Warren asked me to ask you if you can refuse to come to B City about this.”
