Lily pointed to a direction and, though inwardly angry, spoke smilingly, "Honey, aren't they over there? That guy must be embarrassed!"
Joel smiled before he turned to members of the Pavilion of Gods and Kings and said," Everybody, sit or go everywhere you wish. The dinner will start in a short while. It's been a busy day, and I hope that everybody will forgive us if there have been some hospitality issues!"
"Haha... Go do your thing, you old bridegroom!" Harry laughed before leading his people over to a side.
Only then did Joel lead his company toward Nash.
Walking up to him, Joel then began as he
smiled at Nash, "Master Woods, the two of us haven't met for the past seven or eight years, have we now?"
"Indeed, Pavilion Master Joel.
Congratulations!" Nash gave an awkward smile as he gestured with his hands.
Those around them slowly turned toward them, one by one, and the atmosphere grew rather solemn then.
"Really?" Joel pulled Lily closer toward him and hugged her by the waist in front of Nash before he spoke, "I heard that this beautiful lady was once your First Madam. Sigh! Why didn't you know how to cherish such beauty? Naha...! Since you don't know how to cherish her, I'll do it for you from now on!"
Nash gritted his teeth and tightened his fists but dared not act irrationally.
Only then did Joel pretended to be angry as he fretted, "Sigh! Honey, how can you call him a b*stard? Master Woods is a guest at our wedding. How can you say such a thing to our guest? It's too rude. You need to be more aware of your choice of words next time, alright?" "Yes, yes, yes... Don't worry. I'll definitely take note of this next time and won’t say the truth straightforwardly!" came Lily’s immediately, though spoken in a weird tone.
"By the way, Master Woods, you're here to congratulate us, right?" Unexpectedly, Joel looked at Nash again at this moment. He stared at Nash as if he wanted to announce that Lily was already his woman and he had conquered her.
"Of course!" Nash smiled. "I don't have anything with Lily, so I'm here today to greet you both!"
"Since you're here to greet us, I’d like to hear words of blessing from you!" said Joel with a smile.
