Chapter 10 The Two Fleets Wedding Limousines

Author: Rosie Steppe
The next day, the sun shone as brightly as the stars the previous night.

Rosalyn was woken by the warmth of its glow and immediately saw Julia smiling at her beneath its rays. "Oh, Rosie—how relaxed can you be, sleeping so soundly on your wedding day?"

Rosalyn hid her face in Julia's arms, yawning lazily. "Please, Grandma. I'm sleepy."

Julis sighed disapprovingly. "Oh, just wake up already! Your wedding car has even arrived!"

Rosalyn's head jerked up, and she looked outside where Julia was pointing and saw a row of black luxury cars parked everywhere in the nursing home front yard.

Her internet friend… had really come to marry her?

She stepped out of Julia's room and found a man standing there with his back to her, followed by a huge entourage.

His dark suit was tailored to fit him to a tee, and his cufflinks glinted against the sun.

He really oozed nobility from head to toe.

Julia huffed right then. "Oh, Rosie—just go already!"

At her voice, the man slowly turned, and Rosalyn's heart must have skipped two beats when she saw his face. "You?!"

-

At nine in the morning on Central Avenue in Cromwell, two convoys were advancing along the two five-lane highways.

Naturally, one was Eric Hammond's, while the other was Carl Grant's.

They were Cromwell's most eligible bachelors, with one having the most influence, while the other the most money.

No media outlet could sleep since they were both getting married on the same day, and they camped out at scenic photo spots and livestreamed the convoy's journey nationwide.

Both convoys were a marvel too—one would have trouble finding the end from the front as there were over a hundred cars, each of them decorated with flowers and ribbons.

The two fleets of wedding limousines were proceeding on their respective lanes but eventually stopped near each other at Central Square in the middle of Central Avenue.

As the limousines met, the brides wound down the window to exchange bouquets—a gesture of offering each other blessings.

Still, news of Eric's wedding was sudden that no one knew who the bride was, so most long-range lenses were focused on his limousine in an attempt to get a glimpse of the bride's face.

The only person who wasn't interested was Carl.

He couldn't sleep after that call with Rosalyn last night, and he felt like he was floating, his mind in a complete daze.

He really didn't care who Eric would marry—all he wanted to know was whether Rosalyn would be at his wedding.

He didn't see her at the wedding hall before he went to pick up Zoe, and she was never late for work.

But she simply didn't show up.

He tried to call her, but his calls weren't getting through.

He sent someone to find her, but they told him she had left the nursing home.

Now, he was screening the local news in case there had been an accident.

Meanwhile, as everyone watched in anticipation, the window of Eric's limousine was slowly lowered, and a face covered in a white bridal veil could be seen.

The journalists began to snap as many photos as they could with their 8K cameras, as the face was still visible.

On the other hand, Zoe was close enough that she didn't need high-definition pixels to see the face under the veil.

It was such a familiar face that her heart skipped a beat in shock.

Rosalyn Jones?!

Was she seeing things?!

Why was she in Eric's wedding limousine and wearing a bridal gown?!

However, as Rosalyn held out her bouquet, Zoe did the same, albeit stiffly.

She tried to say Rosalyn's name and ask questions.

Still, she was in shock, and Rosalyn spoke first after they exchanged their bouquets. "All the best!"

It didn't matter what had happened between them in the past—Rosalyn would put everything behind her after today.

Be it Carl or Zoe, love or hate—it was all in the past now.

That was when Carl, who had been keeping his head down, blinked and looked up in surprise.

All the best?!

Was that Rosalyn?

Why was he hearing Rosalyn's voice?!

    "Good morning, Rosalyn!"Rosalyn opened the door and came face-to-face with Sean, who was about to walk in."Morning." She glanced at the food containers in his hands and instantly understood everything.Whatever Eric wanted to eat, he always found a way to get it. Even if she didn't make it for him, he'd still get it delivered. Clearly, he'd teased her earlier on purpose."Breakfast for the both of you. Special order," Sean said with a flattering grin.He'd received Eric's breakfast list first thing in the morning. If Eric hadn't been injured, and if his wife weren't mad at him, Sean would've pretended he never saw it."I'm not hungry. You can bring it in," Rosalyn said. She wasn't planning on eating and honestly felt a little too embarrassed to eat it.Eric had gotten hurt because of her, but she took his bed and still gave him attitude. Realizing all of this after the fact, she felt she'd gone too far.It wasn't that she refused to give him what he wanted—it was that his bre

    It was late at night, and Rosalyn, who hadn't had insomnia in a long time, found herself staring blankly at the night sky.Beside her, Eric was fast asleep. He had turned onto his side, facing her. His handsome face was slightly squished against the pillow, but it still didn't take away from how good-looking he was.Moments with him flashed through her mind. These were scenes she never tried to memorize, yet they felt burned into her memory.Some things slipped in even when she tried to fight them, and those were exactly the things she shouldn't let in.The thought made sleep even further from reach. Restless, she quietly got out of bed, stepped into the hallway, and leaned against the wall under the bright overhead light.Eventually, she pulled out her phone and texted Ken.[Are you awake?]He replied instantly.[Yeah][Any progress?][A little.][???][Are you in a hurry?][The sooner, the better.][Got it.]She typed 'sorry for the trouble,' but before she could hit s

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 152 It's His Fault for Protecting Her

    "Eric!"The surrounding old folks's panicked screams made Rosalyn shudder.She wanted to look up, but someone was holding her head down. She grabbed Eric by his sleeve. "Eric—""He's bleeding. Call the ambulance!" Rosalyn's heart clenched when she heard someone yelling in the crowd.She struggled to lift her head from his arms, but Eric wouldn't let her. "I'm fine. Don't look."He didn't want her to see the blood.Just like the time Carl crashed in front of her and Eric covered her eyes, now that he was the one bleeding, he shielded her even more.Her worst memories all had to do with blood.The person who swung the object was David's daughter. She'd meant to hit Rosalyn, but Eric had stepped in and taken the blow instead.The nursing home's doctor rushed over and immediately treated Eric's wound, while David called the police on the spot and turned in all his children without hesitation.But none of that changed the fact that Eric's head had been struck and was still bleedin

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 151 She's Definitely Getting Involved

    When Eric arrived at the nursing home, he immediately found Rosalyn amid the chaotic crowd.A group of men and women with mean expressions had surrounded her. "Step back! This isn't your business. Stay out of it, or don't blame us if you get hurt!" one of them shouted."Today, I'm definitely getting involved. Let's see who dares touch Mr. Gingham," Rosalyn uttered defiantly. She didn't show a hint of fear, and her gaze was colder than usual.Eric had already been briefed on the situation on his way over. David Gingham had three sons and a daughter but had been a long-time resident at the nursing home because his children didn't want to take care of him.He had a pension and lived comfortably at the nursing home. Six months ago, his old house was demolished, and he received over three million in compensation. Since then, he hadn't had a moment of peace.One day a son would claim he needed money for a wedding, and another for his daughter's college tuition. Each child had some reaso

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 150 He's Been Wronged

    Since Eric was only fulfilling his duties as a husband, Rosalyn felt completely at ease. Even when he applied ointment to her feet, she didn't resist. As for all the other little ways Eric 'spoiled' her, Rosalyn accepted them calmly and without hesitation.Sean, however, was quietly wincing to watch it all. "Eric, you don't have to prove anything. I get it."Ever since he'd overheard what he shouldn't have, Sean had developed an unexplainable sympathy for Eric.He knew this was probably tempting fate to say out loud, but seeing Eric take such care of Rosalyn day after day, he couldn't help but speak up.They were husband and wife only in name. Just the thought of it made Sean's heart ache for Eric for a few seconds.Eric had been the kind of guy who, back in kindergarten, was already fawned over by little girls. He could have had any woman he wanted.But now, married, he couldn't even sleep with his wife. It didn't hurt, but the humiliation was evident."What do you get? Tell me

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 149 Performing His Duties As Her Husband

    Rosalyn shivered and instinctively pulled away."Eric…" She was barely audible.She was shocked, not just because he was taking off her shoes, but by the entire scene. In Rosalyn's mind, Eric was always the untouchable, high-and-mighty guy who seemed superior to everyone else. Yet, here he was, crouched at her feet.The visual alone was unprecedented, and he was even removing her shoes.If they were truly lovers, it might have made sense, but they weren't. They had clearly marked the dates of their separation and were merely living for their own needs.Even if he said his revenge was to make her fall for him, this act went far beyond anything required for that.Rosalyn tried to pull back her foot, but he held it gently in his palm, seemingly unaware of her discomfort or shock. Instead, he focused on a small reddened spot on her toe. "Why wear shoes that don't fit?"They were new shoes that were a little tight but still wearable. She hadn't expected him to notice.Eric was alway
