171 The Wedding 3 (2/2)
Jia pouted and glared at him. Jay laughed. ”This woman is still in love with him, ”she thought.
Anthon reached out and touched her head. ”Stop gossiping. It's not
good! ”
Brian also fixed his gaze and Anthon and thought to himself. ”What a pity. He'll bring this love down to his grave.”
After the event,when all the guests had left including Jia's parents who could not stay longer due to age,the Waynesgathered around.
”Ton,if you don't mind,I want you to change yourfamily name.” Mr. Wayne said seriously.
”Yes,Ton.” Jim, the most generous one,seconded.
”Good decision,dad.” Casey agreed.
Anthon felt warmth and full acceptance that his breathing became heavy. He struggled to hold back the tears before he thanked each one of them again.
”By the way,Jia,where are you going to spend your honeymoon?”
Ate Casey asked,wondering why it was not announced.
”Ate,since we are so blessed to have this reconciliation,how about spending a week or two for our family outing? ”
'Yes,yes,that's great!But if you don't mind,I want it to be here in our country's best tourist destinations.”
Casey said excitedly.”
Anthon felt sad. Those two weeks would only make his heart grow fonder or more broken to see Jia and Jim together.
”Can I bring over Giselle? ” He asked,
thinking that it would be best if he had someone to share his heartache with. Or,he would use this chance to train her for the business.
”Who is she,Ton? Is she your fiancee? ”
”She is my bestfriend. ” He answered.
He almost told her that once,she was his fiancee. Not only that,she was his runaway bride!
”Good, Ton!I wish that in two weeks,the friendship would develop into marriage. You're already running out of age! ”
Everyone laughed but a pang of pain hit Jia's heart. She didn't know why. Perhaps because,Giselle had caused her a heartache before.

To Anthon's amazement,Giselle accepted his invitation,most especially because,they would be using the chance for her training.
”By the way, how about your daughter?” Anthon asked,wondering how easily she consented to the plan.
”She's with my parents and because she's very much pampered,she did not go back with me to Singapore anymore. Also because, I always left her there with a nanny.”
”What about your husband? ” Anthon never heard her mention her husband except for that one time when sheconfessed about her life.
”Ours is a forbidden affair eventhough he's literally single. He's been sick for two years already and eversince it happened, he no longer went home. His family is taking control of him. ”
”What do you do for a living? ”He asked further.
”He left me a great amount and a business. But since I am lonely and alone there,I have decided to go home.”
”I see. Soon,it would be my turn to be lonely and alone. ” He laughed.
