Chapter 914 - No Skips (1/2)
For some reason, Xiu's angle changed when she threw the bouquet, and instead of making an arc backward, the arc was made at a 90-degree angle making the bouquet land perfectly in the ŀȧp of Francesca Salvay.
That not only shocked Francesca who suddenly got the bouquet but it made the people waiting behind Xiu groan and whɨnė.
”Xiu!” yelled Nora. ”You did it on purpose!”
”Sister Xiu, how can you take my dream from me?!” Han Bohai also whɨnėd.
”Xiu, you're really something,” said Cali.
Xiu looked at Dr. Ling to see if she had anything to say and got the reply, ”I was dragged here against my will. I don't even care!”
Xiu grinned at them, ”I didn't do it on purpose. The bouquet found its rightful owner on its own. I had nothing to do with it.”
”As if we believe you!” huffed Nora.
Xiu shrugged her shoulders and shouted, ”Mama, hold the bouquet tight!”
Francesca was still staring at the flowers in her ŀȧp in a daze. Just how the hell did she get involved in this? She was just sitting here!
”Congratulations, Mama!” said Darren.
Francesca glanced at him, ”Stop it, Regi.”
”Okay,” Darren zipped his lips and held his wife's hand to take her away from the pack of disappointed wolves who were ready to pounce on her to demand justice. Darren obviously wouldn't give them such a chance at all.
”Okay, gather everyone for photographs!” announced Clara to gather everyone around.
The photographer made everyone take their positions. ”3, 2...”
”Wait for me!”
A loud cry made everyone turn their heads. A young girl with a backpack was running over in a full denim attire. She put her hands on her knees and panted. She looked at Xiu and asked, ”Am I late, Xiuxiu?”
”If you had been any later, my son would have been born,” replied Xiu.
Bo Jiu scratched her head foolishly, ”I still love your sarcasm, Xiuxiu.”
”As someone ȧssociated with Xiu, I should have never expected you to be on time,” said Dylan and earned a slap on his arm from his mother.
”Well, I have my reason to be late,” replied Bo Jiu.
”Let me guess, you're stuck in the traffic,” Nora offered an excuse for her.
Bo Jiu shook her head, ”I couldn't find the bug.”
