Chapter 1468
"Picking you up earlier means we get to spend an extra half hour together, right?" Darwin said, trying to sound logical.
Fiona smiled and shook her head.
Before long, they arrived at the small house.
The guests were staying at a hotel, but Fiona and her family were still staying here.
On the wedding day, Fiona would also be leaving from here.
"By the way..." Thalassa said as she sat down, suddenly remembering something and looking at Darwin. "Are you planning to skip the part about the proposal, Mr. Solomon?"
"He already proposed," Fiona cut in.
Thalassa was taken aback. "When did that happen?"
"There were two times, right?" Fiona looked at Darwin. "Does the time before Charles and Chicago were born count?"
"Without a ring, does it count?" Darwin countered.
"Okay, what about the second time?" Thalassa pressed.
"New Year's Eve," Fiona replied.
Yes, it was on New Year's Eve.
Fiona and Darwin had returned to their room, and Darwin had pulled out the ring he had prepared long ago and proposed to Fiona.
Originally, he had planned a grand proposal.
But Fiona had sensed it and sternly warned him against it.
She disliked grand proposals.
They always felt like pressure.
Instead, Fiona preferred it to be just the two of them, without worrying about anyone else's opinions.
Just like the first time Darwin proposed to her.
Sincerely expressing his feelings was enough.
Strictly speaking, Fiona didn't even want to have a wedding.
Darwin had begged her for half a month.
Then she remembered that Blaise's grand opening was coming up, so she decided to hold the wedding there.
It would satisfy Darwin's wish for a wedding.
And it would also put the Blaise Hotel in the spotlight, serving as a grand, free marketing event.
Although Darwin still had many complaints.
Fiona agreeing to the wedding was already a huge win for him.
So he didn't argue about the location.
However, he did confide in Wyatt.
"Before, I was the one hiding her from the world. Now it feels like she wants to hide me," he said.
Wyatt laughed and told him it was karma.
Darwin couldn't take that lying down and immediately retorted, "We're in the same boat."
Wyatt stopped laughing and fell into a deep sadness.
Two mornings later.
At the wedding venue, there were millions of dollars worth of flowers, carefully selected by Darwin and flown in, with the world's top florists working all night to set them up.
Romance was written in every corner, on every petal.
When Fiona appeared in her pristine wedding dress, supported by Janna, in front of Darwin.
Darwin couldn't hold back his tears, crying on the spot. Seeing this, many of the guests also teared up, moved to the point of wiping their eyes.
Fiona smiled, gently hugged Darwin, and comforted him with a few words.
Then, under the witness of the priest, they completed their solemn vows to never part, in sickness and in health.
The promises in those vows had already been fulfilled in the many years they had known and loved each other.
