Chapter 487 A Wedding
Unexpectedly, my mother was very against the idea of the two of us moving into the neighborhood so that we could be closer to her. She was shocked when she found out that I had quit my job and was moving back. To put it bluntly, she blamed herself for the decision that I was ‘forced’ to make. It took multiple attempts for me to explain to her that this decision was also better for Ace and myself given that we would be working at his new office building.
“I can’t believe you just gave up on your dream job to move back just so that you could be closer to me. This is ridiculous. I don’t want something like this,” she said with a deep frown on her face.
Just like always, my mother was a pro at putting me before herself. She must have thought that she was the one holding me back from pursuing my dreams. She didn’t quite believe it when I told her that working with Ace would probably lead me closer to my real dream. On top of that, I learnt the hard way that my dream would never come true if my mother wasn’t living happily as well. In the end, it was none other than Ace who managed to convince my mother. She seemed to have developed the habit of trusting him and whatever he says more than the words of her own daughter.
We moved into a large house with a large garden that wasn’t located far from my mother’s place and our new office. There were too many rooms for the two of us, but my mother was still adamant about living in her old apartment. She flatly refused our invitation for her to move in with us. Spending time with Ace both at home and at work made me feel like we had grown even closer to each other. I realized that this must be what it would be like if I ended up marrying Ace. Going to sleep together, waking up the following morning in the same bed, and then having a simple breakfast together before going to work together. We did almost everything together, but I still felt like I couldn’t get enough of Ace in my life.
“Are you free this Saturday?” Ace asked all of a sudden.
I wondered what he had in mind as I stared at him from across the dining table where we were enjoying our simple breakfast without needing to rush. There were clear perks to living close to our office in an area where the traffic was light, and rush-hour didn’t quite exist.
“I think so. Is there somewhere that you want to go?” I asked curiously.
“Just keep your day free,” Ace replied before grinning at me. noVE)lb)1n
“Ok...” I murmured in reply as I wondered what kind of plans he had come up with.
...
Saturday came around eventually and all I was told was to dress up pretty. That was exactly what I did while I wondered what kind of romantic date Ace had planned for us this time around. We travelled into the city for our date, and I soon found myself at a very famous church. Judging by how full the parking lot was, I could tell that some sort of event was taking place.
“Is there an event of some sort happening here?” I asked curiously when we both stepped out of the car.
“A wedding, to be precise,” Ace replied before winking at me.
“A wedding...” I murmured.
Since I didn’t know anyone who was getting married on that day and had not received an invitation, I figured that Ace must have brought me along to one of his friend’s weddings.
“Come along, Rina. I don’t think we should be late for this one,” Ace said as he interlaced his fingers with mine and held my hand tightly in his.
“Right...” I replied softly in agreement.
Ace led me toward the church where we walked past a very nice garden. There was a crowd of people gathered as they waited to enter the church. A couple of people came up to greet Ace when they saw him. To be honest, I didn’t recognize most of the people who came to greet Ace, but I could single out a few celebrities among the crowd.
“This is Karina, my girlfriend,” Ace introduced me smoothly to everyone without them having to ask.
I guessed that the inquisitive way that they looked at me served as a question in and of itself. Ace immediately picked up on this and saved me the trouble of introducing myself. Although I found it slightly embarrassing and a bit much for him to directly introduce me as his girlfriend to practically everyone that stuck up a conversation with him, I found myself feeling rather pleased. Despite our public announcement regarding our relationship, I was sure that many people still wanted to hear it directly from Ace in person.
I made sure to smile pleasantly at everyone and reply to their questions politely. Despite my efforts to appear and sound natural, I was certain that I sounded awkward and robotic during our conversations with the first few people that came up to talk to us. As time went by, I felt like I was getting the hang of things and the conversations that we had seemed to flow a little smoother. I felt a little less nervous than before and I also started getting used to everyone’s reaction when Ace formally introduced me as his girlfriend. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel any hostility or resistance from the people that we met. If anything, I felt like everyone was simply curious and then pleasantly surprised and glad that we were dating.
“I think it’s time that we head inside. I think the ceremony is about to start,” Ace told me.
I nodded my head and let him lead me into the church along with the other honorable guests. The church was decorated elaborately with so many white roses and lilies that it took my breath away upon first glance. Whoever was getting married didn’t spare any expense on their flower decorations at all.
