Chapter 1263 Blushing
Upon hearing this, Cecilia felt a wave of sadness wash over her. "Even though our family has always struggled with money, my mom and older brother have always been proud and never asked for help from relatives or friends. We've faced all our problems on our own. But because we're poor, a lot of our relatives and friends have distanced themselves from us."
"Those relatives and friends aren't worth worrying about. That's one of the things I respect most about them," Daryl said, wrapping his arm around Cecilia's shoulder.
Although the Thorne family's situation was far worse compared to the Fields family, Cecilia never felt ashamed. They were honorable people, and Cecilia couldn't help but stand a little taller.
That evening, Cecilia stood in her new bedroom, surrounded by red decorations. She looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a burgundy embroidered nightgown, her face glowing, and she couldn't help but smile.
Today felt like a dream; the wedding had passed in a blur, and suddenly it was nighttime.
Cecilia sat at the vanity, dabbed a bit of perfume on her neck, and combed her long hair straight.
After waiting for a while, Daryl still hadn't come upstairs.
Cecilia decided to leave the bedroom and go downstairs to check.
As she reached the top of the stairs, she heard Azalea's sharp voice from below.
"Daryl, we've already brought her into our home. What more does she want?"
Cecilia froze, knowing they were talking about her.
Then Daryl replied, "Mom, this has nothing to do with Cecilia. I saw the Thorne family being placed in that corner and asked for them to be moved."
"Don't think I don't know. If it weren't for her, would you have noticed so much? And if we don't put them in the corner, should we place them in the most prominent spot? Didn't you see our relatives and friends sneering at them? They're from the countryside, and they've embarrassed the Fields family!" Azalea vented.
Hearing this, Cecilia leaned against the wall, her emotions in turmoil.
Azalea had always looked down on her and her family. Even marrying into the Fields family wouldn't change that.
At this moment, Daryl frowned and said, "Mom, today is my special day. Do you have to make everyone unhappy?"
Seeing her son's annoyed expression, Azalea finally calmed down a bit. "Alright, it's over now. Talking more is useless. As long as her family doesn't bother me in the future, I'll be satisfied!"
Hearing this, Cecilia felt humiliated, her hands clenched into fists.
"Mom, I'm going upstairs to rest!" Unable to persuade his mother, Daryl said expressionlessly and turned to go upstairs.
Hearing Daryl coming up, Cecilia quickly ran back to the room.
She rushed into the bathroom, wiped away her tears, not wanting Daryl to see her crying.
Daryl was so good to her and her family; she didn't want to worry him.
As the sound of footsteps approached, Daryl's voice reached her ears.
"Where's my beautiful bride?"
Hearing this, Cecilia quickly checked herself in the mirror and then walked out of the bathroom.
"I'm right here." Cecilia stood at the vanity, smiling at Daryl.
Seeing Cecilia, Daryl took off his suit, revealing a burgundy shirt underneath, radiating joy.
Daryl stepped forward, holding Cecilia's shoulders, and brushed her cheek with the back of his hand, smiling. "I thought you were hiding out of shyness."
Hearing this, Cecilia couldn't help but smile. "Who's shy?"
"Still denying it? Your face is all red," Daryl teased, his fingers brushing her cheek.
Caught, Cecilia said, "Alright, let's hurry up and shower and go to bed!"
Saying this, Cecilia pushed Daryl towards the bathroom.
Daryl turned his head and said, "No need to rush, right?"
Hearing this, Cecilia blushed and pushed Daryl into the bathroom. "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and shower!"
Then she closed the bathroom door.
Turning away, Cecilia's smile faded. She thought, 'Thank goodness he didn't notice I had been crying.'
At that moment, the door behind her suddenly opened!
"Why aren't you showering?" Cecilia's back stiffened, and she turned to ask.
"Get my pajamas," Daryl said, smiling at her.
"Okay." Cecilia responded and quickly went to the closet to find his pajamas.
A moment later, Daryl emerged from the bathroom wearing matching burgundy pajamas.
These were special couple pajamas Cecilia had bought for their wedding night, both in burgundy, very festive, with heart patterns embroidered on them.
Sitting at the vanity, Cecilia stared blankly for a while. Seeing Daryl come out of the bathroom, she said, "You finished showering so quickly?"
Honestly, Cecilia's good mood for the wedding night had been completely ruined by Azalea. Despite it being their wedding night, she couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
At this moment, Daryl dried his hair with a towel and walked over, holding Cecilia's shoulders. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, he whispered in her ear, "We need to make the most of our time!"
Cecilia had lost all interest and said, "We've been busy all day. Aren't you tired?"
"Not at all. I'm full of energy. Tonight is our wedding night," Daryl said, smiling.
Saying this, he brushed his lips against Cecilia's earlobe, making her shrink back.
Seeing Cecilia's passive reaction, Daryl frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you too tired?"
"Yes, I'm really exhausted today," Cecilia quickly nodded.
Hearing this, Daryl's eyebrows twitched, and he bent down to scoop Cecilia up in his arms!
"What are you doing?" Cecilia asked nervously, wrapping her arms around Daryl's neck.
Daryl looked down at the unenthusiastic Cecilia and smiled. "I'm going to give you a massage to relieve your fatigue."
Hearing this, Cecilia laughed. "Do you know how?"
"You'll find out if you try," Daryl said, his eyes gleaming mischievously.
Cecilia quickly caught on to the look in his eyes and said, "No, I don't want to try. Put me down!"
"Isn't it a bit late for that now?" Daryl said, turning towards the bed.
This large bed was one they had picked out together, measuring seven by eight feet, very spacious. Daryl had joked in front of the sales assistant that they could roll around on it, making Cecilia blush.
