Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 18

The Hinton family walked into the luxurious hall. It was filled with people that they'd only seen on TVs and the news. It felt as if they were in a dream.

It was then that Lacey realized Zeke was not putting up an act.

“Zeke... S-seriously, what the heck is all this?” Lacey asked in a trembling voice.

Both Daniel and Hannah also laid their eyes on Zeke.

“You'll know soon,” Zeke smiled as he believed the Hinton family should be able to guess his identity once he proposed.

Seeing that Zeke wasn't going to come clean; Hannah and her husband chose not to question him any further.

All the older couple could feel at that moment was regret, as Zeke was much more reliable than Jackson Hamilton.

They couldn't believe how stupid they were to try and please Jackson and ignore Zeke instead.

The only question that remained was how Zeke managed to enter the ceremony without a ticket.

Could he be the Great Marshal? But... There's just no way the Great Marshal was once a convict, right?

“What? Zeke Williams! How the heck did you get in here?” A voice shouted.

The Hintons and Zeke turned. It was Emily and her mother.

“Is there a rule that says we can't?” Lacey asked.

“Your presence here is a humiliation to the ceremony,” Emily snorted.

“Oh, right! I remember that the ceremony was hiring servants! They must've got the job,” Madeleine recalled.

The noise lessened and the crowd shifted their attention to the stage.

Emily moved her finger through her throat at Lacey and warned, “The Great Marshal is going to propose to me soon! That will be your end!”

Lacey's face turned pale, but Zeke grabbed her hand to give her comfort.

Lone Wolf appeared on the stage as the host. His tall figure and serious face were enough to scare any crowd.

Lone Wolf scanned the people before he started to address. “To tell you the truth, the Great Marshal never wanted to host the Grand Comeback Ceremony, but your passion has moved him. He decided to honor that tonight. But, as you all know, the Great Marshal doesn't like to make public appearances... Well, unless you are his enemy. That is why he won't appear in front of everyone today. But the Great Marshal still wants to thank all of you for attending this ceremony.

Even though the crowd could not meet the marshal, not a lot of them were disappointed as they had predicted it. Being able to join the ceremony was already more than they could ever ask for.

“The Great Marshal only has one agenda today,” Lone Wolf continued. “And that is to propose to his future wife.”
