A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1518 Couldn't Help

Soon, the wedding ceremony began. Jacob led Emily to the seats arranged for the guests and sat beside her.

The small lawn had been specially decorated with white tables and chairs as well as colorful balloons. The faint fragrance of flowers filled the air, making everyone feel relaxed and happy.

There was a wide pathway in the middle of the tables and chairs. A long red carpet extended from the entrance all the way to the platform at the front. Flower baskets, balloons, and small, colorful ribbons adorned both sides of the pathway.

Soon, the exclusive music for the wedding filled the air.

Wearing her beautiful white wedding dress, Cherish held her father's hand and walked slowly on the red carpet from the flower arch to the platform.

Looking dashing in a white suit, Carlos looked at her coming toward him with a gentle smile on his face. Out of all the people in the room, only Emily knew that Carlos, who had always been calm and self- aware, was very nervous at the moment. This wedding was obviously very important to him.

“I give you my blessing and my only daughter's hand in marriage. She's the treasure of our family. Please look after her,“ Cherish's father said in a low voice when he put Cherish's hand in Carlos'.

“I promise I will take good care of her.“ Carlos nodded seriously.

Holding back her tears, Cherish took Carlos's arm and carefully walked toward the officiant. They were finally getting married. It was no longer just a dream.

When the two of them stepped in front of the officiant, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Cherish and Carlos looked at each other. And then, both of them looked at the officiant.

Seeing that the two of them were ready, the officiant said slowly, “We are gathered here today in the sight of God, and the presence of friends and loved ones, to celebrate one of life's greatest moments. We are here to give recognition to the beauty of love that is shared between Carlos and Cherish as they complete their family in holy matrimony. Grant them happiness and contentment, as their two lives become one, as they create a new family and explore the depths of their love for one another. Bless their families and friends and the relationships, which have supported, strengthened and sustained them throughout their lives. Bless their home as a place of love and of peace.“

After a long series of wedding vows, the priest asked, “Before this marriage is to be legislated, if there is anyone who can show just cause why this couple cannot lawfully be joined together in matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.“

There was dead silence in the room.

Then, the priest looked at Cherish with a smile and asked, “Cherish, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you love him, look after him, respect him, and accept him in sickness and in health? Will you be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?“

Cherish's red lips trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes batted against the tears now welling up in her eyes. After a long time, she finally smiled and looked at Carlos, her face full of expectation and happiness.

She said, “I do and I will.“

The priest then turned to Carlos and asked, “Carlos, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Will you love her, look after her, respect her, and accept her in sickness and in health? Will you be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?“

Carlos's eyes had been fixed on Cherish since the wedding ceremony began. Without hesitation, he replied in a low, firm voice, “Yes, I do and I will.“

The priest's smile deepened. The next moment, he raised his voice at the crowed and asked, “Are you willing to witness their sacred union?“

The guests responded all at once, “Yes.“

“Very well. You may now exchange rings.“

Watching Carlos put the carefully selected diamond ring on her ring finger, Cherish suddenly remembered a lot of their memories together. Some of them were sweet, some were sad, but most were happy. Whatever they were, all of them reminded her of the man in front of her.

Her eyes were slightly red now from the tears she was trying very hard to hold back. Then, she took out the ring and put it on Carlos's ring finger.

After this, the priest announced loudly, “I now pronounce you, in the name of God, husband and wife. No one and nothing of this earth can separate you. You may now kiss the bride.“

Carlos chuckled. “This moment has finally come.“

Cherish was stunned. Before she could come back to her senses, Carlos had lifted the white veil from her face and kissed her deeply and passionately in front of everyone.

All of a sudden, Cherish's mind went blank. In her eyes, only Carlos's face became clearer and clearer.

'We will definitely be happy, ' she thought.

Emily could not help wrinkling her nose. She said, “I'm so envious of them. They are so happy.“

Jacob, who was sitting beside her, slightly raised his eyebrows. Then, he reached out to hold her waist. He whispered in her ear, “When things are settled, I will marry you in an even more beautiful wedding ceremony. I remember I still owe you one.“

Before Emily could process what he had just said, Jacob was already planting a soft kiss on her cheek. Her heart skipped a beat as she felt Jacob's lips against her face.

“Don't be jealous. We'll have our time, I promise.“ Jacob's deep and magnetic voice sounded particularly sexy at the moment.

Emily felt her cheeks burn.

Then, the wedding ceremony of Carlos and Cherish came to an end. At the reception, they went around toasting and chatting with the guests.

After an entire day's of wedding festivities, Cherish felt so tired that her body was failing her. However, Carlos was still in high spirits and did not even frown from the beginning of the day to the end.

When they arrived at the Li Family's house, Carlos scooped the blushing Cherish in his arms and took her upstairs. She was too drunk to object. At the sight of this, Leah smiled.

Cherish was officially their daughter-in-law now and could openly share a bedroom with Carlos. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as they entered the room, Carlos slammed the door behind them. He gently put Cherish down. Leaning against the door, he chuckled and said, “You are mine now.“

Cherish blushed and put her arms around his neck tightly, enjoying the sweet, tender feeling.

After a long while...

“Honey, do you know what day it is?“ Carlos's deep voice seeped into every fiber of Cherish's being, intoxicating her like sweet red wine.

Cherish struggled to keep her mind in one piece after hearing Carlos call her “honey.“ She asked, “What day is it?“

Carlos smiled sheepishly, reached out his hand, and pinched her nose. Then, he replied in a lower voice, “It's our wedding night, of course.“

It was not until then that Cherish realized what he meant, and her face turned redder.

Did he mean...that?

Carlos raised his eyebrows and looked deeper into her eyes. Looking smug, he asked, “What? Are you shy?“

Cherish bit her lips and retorted immediately, “No!“

Carlos chuckled. “Then why are you blushing? Are you fantasizing about it already?“

Cherish's round earlobes turned completely red, but she still tried to deny it. “What nonsense are you talking about?“

The atmosphere around them seemed to become ambiguous and restless in an instant.

“Let's not waste our time.“ Carlos's voice suddenly became hoarse, which sounded quite attractive.

Cherish's heart was now pounding like thunder against her chest, but when she looked up, she only saw a gentle smile in Carlos's eyes, eyes that saw everything about her and still loved her anyway.

She could not help murmuring, “Okay.“

Carlos finally burst into happy laughter. He scooped her up once again, carefully carried her toward the bed, and gently set her down on the mattress.

It was doomed to be a sleepless night for Cherish.
