My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2173

"It's up to you. You won't be able to avoid this ceremony anyway." I pretended not to care and turned to leave. "Evan will get you changed. I'll see you at the church."

"Wait," Irvin stopped me and coughed without saying anything.

I knew what he was thinking. He was worried that I would do as I said I would.

"You know me. Since I've made you a promise, I won't break it."

After that, I left without waiting for his response.

I shut the door, picked up the bag Evan left by the door earlier and called Shirley after reaching an intersection far enough from where I was. The plan went on.

"You are finally showing up?" Shirley was obviously antsy from being in an enclosed state, unable to see Irvin since the night before. "Hendrix's men would not let me upstairs. You weren't accepting calls either. What were you two thinking? Even if you didn't want to get married, you shouldn't be stopping me from taking care of Irvin. What did he do to you?" "Calm down." I sighed. "I'm going downstairs now.

Wait for me at the back door."

"Are you leaving?" Apparently, Shirley's emotions had affected her rationality. "Arianna, was I wrong about you?"

"No." The more I explained, the more confusing the situation would become. I simply hung up the phone after saying, "Whatever it is, just meet me at the back door. Come or don't, it's your choice."

As expected, when I arrived, Shirley was already waiting at the stairs.

She looked at me with blame and hatred in her eyes. She had a lot to say, but I did not give her the chance to vent. I immediately handed her the bag in my hand.

"Put this on."

She took the bag and reached in to take the clothes out for a peek. She did not understand what it was for a few moments. "This is..."

"I'll say it again. It's up to you whether to change into it or not. This is all I can do."

Leaving these words behind, I took the lead in walking out. I opened the car door and waited for her in the car.

After 15 minutes, the person I had been waiting for finally appeared.

The car was parked on the side of the road in front of the church.

I looked out from the window. I could clearly see from afar that Irvin had his hair brushed neatly. He was well-dressed, looking forward to it for what was to come.

Before getting out of the car, I rolled down the window to let Irvin get a clear view of my face. Then, I rolled up the window, picked up the veil, and turned to look at the woman behind me.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

Shirley was nervously fidgeting the whole way. She had only realized we had reached the church when she heard my voice and looked out the window. She saw Irvin and Evan approaching, and her breath quickened.

"What if someone finds out? His illness, and that he may die any second... Shirley said to herself with her head down. Her hands were pinching hard on the fabric at her

I took a deep breath. I felt as heavy as she did. However, it was too late to back out at this point. "As you said, he could leave anytime. Would you be content if you do not have a wedding?"

Would she?

After going through all these years of torture, both mentally and physically; after living through a nightmare that occurred each day, just to end up with nothing at all - how could anybody be content?

I believed Shirley already had her answer when she put on the wedding dress.

After a moment of hesitation, she raised her head with confidence sparkling in her eyes. She initiated to change seats with me and put on the veil She opened the door with no regrets and let Irvin hold her by the hand.

Irvin held her hand like a child. His eyes and the corners of his lips raised unknowingly. The light in his eyes was back, finally appearing again after a long time.

The pair was connected to one another every step of the way. Life felt complete.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
