Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 14

The Great Marshal is going to propose to a lady living in the district.

A daring thought appeared in Lacey's head.

“Zeke, don't tell me... This is all you?”

“Do you like it?” Zeke smiled.

“I-I don't know...” Lacey stuttered.

“What are you talking about?” both Hannah and Daniel asked.

“Dad, mom, Zeke told me he was going to propose to me at the ceremony yesterday...” Lacey

explained.

“What?” Daniel and Hannah exclaimed. “Are you saying... that Zeke's the one who arranged all of

these? Doesn't that mean he's...”

“Let's go. We shouldn't keep them waiting,” Zeke smiled as he took them down.

The family went down with Zeke, feeling as if they were dreaming.

None of them could believe that Zeke was the Great Marshal.

When they walked out of the building, they noticed that the crowd had gathered around the Clemons

family.

“Oh my God! Emily, since when did you become the marshal's woman? I can't believe I'm staying in the

same district as the Great Marshal's fiancé! What an honor!”

“So, the army is here to drive you to the ceremony?”

Emily was the center of attention; she couldn't hide her smile.

“At first, I was wondering why the Great Marshal would invite a nobody like me to the Grand

Ceremony,” Emily said. “I've never expected that he'd actually want to propose to me at the ceremony.”

“Of course, the marshal would fall for you! You're gorgeous!” One of the neighbors complimented.

“He's right! How did you and the Great Marshal meet?” Another neighbor asked.

“You guys know my brother is in the army, don't you?” Emily said. “I went to visit him a few days ago

and bumped into a young soldier there. Now that I think about it, that must have been the marshal. It

must have been love at first sight.”

The neighbors cheered even harder after that as they showered Emily with compliments.

Lacey and her family were in awe.

What's happening? Are these cars here for Emily instead of Lacey?

The way Emily described how she came to meet the Great Marshal made sense as well.

It woke the entire Hinton family up. What followed was disappointment.

They couldn't believe how naive they were for thinking that Zeke was the Great Marshal.

There was no way the Great Marshal was an ex-prisoner.

In the end, the Hinton family concluded that Zeke must've heard about the Great Marshal preparing to Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

propose in the district they were living in and had used the scenario to trick them.

Hannah turned to stare at Zeke and scolded, “Is it fun to play with our feelings like that? Come on,

Lacey, let's go back in.”

Zeke was completely speechless. When did I play with your feelings?

It was then Emily noticed the Hinton family. She smiled coldly.

Emily walked towards Lacey and pulled her back. “Now that I think about it, I have to thank you, Lacey.

If you did not take Zeke away from me, I would have never met the Great Marshal.”

Lacey's face reddened and she dropped her head in shame.

Even Emily's mom, Madeleine, made fun of Hannah as well. “Weren't you boasting that you found a

good future son-in-law? I remember he helped Daniel become the Head of the Department. So what?

I'm going to become the director of the hospital when my daughter marries the Great Marshal! The first

thing I'm going to do is kick Daniel out of the hospital!”
