Chapter 751 - Wedding At The Chapel (1/2)

That night Nicolae could not sleep. His mind was filled with problems. The most severe one, of course, was letting go of Altair and Vega to return to their parents. He knew it would be truly unfair to his younger brother Alaric, who loved his two children dearly, if he kept taking the two children away from Alaric.

Why ... Why can't he find a woman for himself and have his own children so, he didn't have to share Altair and Vega? It is already very sad that these two brothers loved the same woman... and now they had to compete for the love and affection of her children.

[I took care of everything. The wedding will be held in the hospital chapel at 10 am tomorrow morning. Thanks. I owe you one.]

A text from Marie came at almost midnight. That reminded Nicolae that he had to force himself to sleep so that he wouldn't look sleepy and tired tomorrow morning in front of Mrs. Lu. Pretending needed immense energy, therefore he must rest.

Nicolae finally took two sleeping pills and forced himself to rest.

The next morning at 9.30 am, Nicolae arrived at Stamford Hospital. This time he was dressed in a neat suit. Even though for him, this was a fake marriage, but he still had to respect this procession and Mrs. Lu's presence, so he dressed up like a groom.

”You arrived early,” said Marie, who emerged from her mother's ward after Nicolae knocked on the door. The girl closed the door behind her. ”Mom is getting ready. She insisted that she wants to look beautiful at her daughter's wedding.”

For a moment, Nicolae was stunned to see the girl's appearance. Yesterday was the first time he saw Marie in a yellow summer dress that looked very elegant, but this morning, he saw the girl wearing a white dress made of fine brocade, and this really made her look like a beautiful bride.

The girl even wore thin makeup that made her beautiful face look even more attractive. Her hair was fashioned in a small bun above her head. Overall she looked like a real bride. She also put considerable effort into looking her part for this fake marriage in front of her mother.

”Then I will wait in front of the chapel. Please let me know when you are ready.” Nicolae refrained from complimenting Marie's appearance.

At five to ten, he got a text from Marie asking him to come to her mother's ward. The young man got up, put on his suit, and walked there.

In front of the door to Mrs. Lu's ward, he saw Marie standing elegantly while pushing her mother's wheelchair, accompanied by two nurses.

”Let's begin now,” Marie said, smiling sweetly.

Nicolae nodded. He approached them, then took the wheelchair from Marie's hand and said gently, ”Let me push it.”

Mrs. Lu touched Nicolae's hand as he pushed her wheelchair and squeezed it softly. The woman looked very beautiful despite her frail condition. ”Good morning, Nicolae ...”

”Good morning, Mother, how are you?”
