Chapter 699: Putting On His Wedding Dress (3)

With Elvisโ€™s promise, Damien stepped down. Elvis looked at Olive; their eyes met. He raised his thin lips and said in a low, charming voice, โ€œOlive, are you here?โ€ A gentle whirlpool quickly formed in Oliveโ€™s red eyes. She nodded. โ€œWell, Iโ€™m here. You did it on purpose, right?โ€

Elvis held her hands. โ€œYes, thereโ€™s no such thing as a fake wedding today. This wedding is real. This wedding is mine and yours. Olive, I still owe you a wedding.โ€ Heโ€™d taken his time, planning the entire day.

โ€œButโ€ฆ didnโ€™t you say you canโ€™t forgive me?โ€

โ€œOlive, I already know.โ€

โ€œKnow what?โ€

โ€œI know everything. I know about your life these past three years. Olive, Iโ€™m sorry, Iโ€™m late. When you needed me most, I couldnโ€™t be by your side.โ€ Tenderness and distress laced his low voice. Olive shivered. She hadnโ€™t known he knew. She had been strong, pretending she wasnโ€™t in pain, wasnโ€™t afraid. Giving birth, sheโ€™d believed she could face loneliness and death calmly, alone.

But hearing his distressed, reproachful voice, her grievances softened, and helplessness surged. Before Elvis Augustine, sheโ€™d thought she could handle any scoundrel, but since meeting him, sheโ€™d become timid, soft, dependent. His arms were always so comforting; she always longed to lie in his embrace. Elvis looked at her reddened eyesโ€”she was so pitiful.

He slowly knelt, taking a ring from his trousers pocket. โ€œOlive, may I propose to you now?โ€

โ€œI prepared a speech, but I forgot. Itโ€™s our first proposal, and Iโ€™m a little nervous, so I hope you can forgive me.โ€

โ€œOlive, the first time we met on the train in Los Angeles, over four years ago, I fell in love with you at first sight. Before you, I never considered what kind of girl I wanted. After meeting you, I realized you fulfilled all my imaginings. I like everything about you.โ€

โ€œBecause I like you, I donโ€™t want to break up with you. Because I like you, I want a relationship with you. Because I like you, today, I want to make a lifetime promise to you. In the future, we will never part. You are my life. Nothing can replace you. I will hold your hand tightly and lead you to the end of the world.โ€

Oliveโ€™s eyes moistened; tears rolled down her cheeks. Mr. Augustine was actually proposing. She was probably the only person in the world who could make Elvis kneel. The wedding hall was silent. Everyone heard Elvisโ€™s low, charming voice.

โ€œAwwwwwn!โ€ Someone in the audience exclaimed, followed by applause. Tonightโ€™s moon was beautiful. Olive slowly offered her hand. โ€œMr. Augustine, no matter what happens in the future, Iโ€™ll accompany you to the end of time.โ€ This was her promise.

Elvis slipped the ring onto her finger. Suddenly, Joyceโ€™s frightened voice yelled, โ€œAnnabelle! Annabelle!โ€ Elvis paused; Olive quickly turned. Annabelle, moments before with Joyce, was gone.

โ€œMummy, whatโ€™s going on? Whereโ€™s Aunt Annabelle?โ€ Olive immediately left the stage.

โ€œAnnabelle was just here. I was watching your proposal; I didnโ€™t notice her. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared,โ€ Joyce explained.

Alpha approached, his dark eyes sharp. โ€œNo need to look for her. Someone took Annabelle. Sheโ€™s disappeared.โ€ No one expected the wedding of the century to end so unexpectedly.

Elvis glanced at Peterson. โ€œEvacuate the guests first. Levi, Nathan, whoever took your grandmother, Iโ€™ll leave it to you two to investigate.โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t worry, Daddy, this person actually kidnapped Grandma right under our noses! Heโ€™s brave. Weโ€™ll teach him a lesson,โ€ Levi assured.

Everyone went to the VIP lounge. This was Nathan and Leviโ€™s first team-up. The two quickly tracked a black nanny car.

โ€œDaddy, Mummy, I found her. This nanny car took Grandma away.โ€ Olive saw the license plate and raised her eyebrows. โ€œKing Liam! This is the Royal Palace car. The King of Gold City, Liam, secretly took Aunt Annabelle.โ€

โ€œLiam?โ€ Elvis asked, his eyes conveying an evil aura. โ€œWhy did he secretly take my mother away?โ€

Elvis didnโ€™t know, but Olive suspected. She went to the window, gazing at the distant sky. Liam had apparently discovered Anabelleโ€™s identity. Sheโ€™d always wanted to protect the mystery of Elvisโ€™s past, but it was unraveling. Greenland and Visionary were locked in a bloody feud. Where would she and Elvis go? The interrupted wedding felt ominous.

Elvis approached, looking at Olive. โ€œOlive, whatโ€™s wrong? Do you know something? Are you hiding something from me?โ€

Olive knew she couldnโ€™t hide it. She looked at Elvis, then Alpha, his gloomy eyes fixed on her. She said softly, โ€œUncle, do you know who Aunt Annabelle is? Aunt Annabelle isnโ€™t the daughter of the Midas family. Sheโ€™s the eldest Princess of Greenland.โ€
