The woman was utterly stunned when she finally understood what Nicholas had intended to do all along. After a moment of silence, she jumped out of her seat as she said to the driver, “I’m sorry, sir; please wait for a moment. I left something as well. Don’t leave just yet; I’ll be back really soon!” The woman then ran up the stairs excitedly. “Nicholas, please keep an eye here; don’t let the car leave without me!” she shouted.
Once she got home, her husband was still lazing around on the couch, watching TV. “Hurry! Get yourself ready and attend a wedding with me!” the woman urged.
Her husband squinted at her as he asked, “What wedding are you talking about? Didn’t we already agree that you were gonna go yourself? It’s so rare for me to have a day off; I just want to stay home and watch TV without going anywhere. Furthermore, aren’t we only giving 200 as the cash gift? 200 won’t be enough if we’re going together, right?”
With a frown, the woman replied, “200? I thought about it; I’ve decided that we’ll be giving 1,000 this time!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Go get yourself ready. Also, call the kids. Get them to come home and head over to the wedding later in the evening,” she ordered.
Her husband continued to stare at her as he said, “I want you to explain everything to me now! Why are you giving them 1,000? What sort of relationship do you have with them?”
The woman lost her temper as she shouted, “Stop asking stupid questions! Do you know where this wedding is being hosted?”
“Where?” her husband asked, stunned.
The initial plan was for the wedding convoy to leave by 9.30AM. However, the clock had abruptly struck 10.00AM while the housing community still had people hustling and bustling all over the place.
They eventually had no choice but to get the wedding convoy to leave first. Tiger brought his men to stay in the community; their job was to bring the remaining people over.
Matthew’s orders were clear—the most important thing he wanted was for this wedding to look good. He knew about the intentions of all the people in the community, but he didn’t really care about it. Ed and Wendy’s marriage didn’t receive any blessings previously, so it’d be great if the wedding could now be hosted in the most grand and beautiful way possible.
Additionally, Matthew also stated that it didn’t matter how many people came, and that people who came from this community didn’t need to provide any gifts or money to attend the wedding. Money didn’t matter; what mattered the most was Ed’s pride and dignity. Ed had been acting like a coward for years; this time, Matthew wanted him to shine with glory!
