After handing over the red envelopes, the door opened.
Eden sat upright on the bed, thick bridal makeup unable to hide the dark circles under her eyes.
Suppressing my inner rage, I calmly followed John's process to start the bridal pickup.
Skipping over the games and pranks on the groomsmen, the final step was to put shoes on the bride and recite vows.
No matter what, I couldn't bring myself to say those vows.
John's eyes lit up and said, "Oh no! We took too long playing games. We're going to miss the auspicious time! Let's go!"
Eden didn't move, looking up at me with some grievance.
I knew she was sensitive and felt my cold attitude today.
She was selfish and had a bad temper. If she sensed something was wrong, it wouldn't be good.
I forced a smile.
"Eden, I'll whisper these vows to you tonight."
Everyone started cheering, and Eden finally smiled.
She reached out for me to carry her downstairs.
Feeling disgusted, I lied that my arm was numb from sleeping in the wrong position and didn't want to drop her, so I turned around and offered my back.
Eden immediately pouted, but with so many people around, she couldn't throw a fit and grudgingly climbed onto my back.
