Chapter 17 Section 12

While writing the first draft, Scarlett and I arranged to meet once or twice a week.Most of the time, we meet for lunch in the city, but she's coming to my house more and more.We already consider each other friends.However, business has to go on.A series of plans surrounding the wedding are gradually unfolding, including some exclusive news.Although George was right when he said I was not a professional journalist, Scarlett insisted that all scoops come from me.So, in addition to writing the book, I had to write several articles about the wedding preparations to be published in magazines and newspapers.

This task is not easy.Scarlett and Josh are not very interested in their love, wedding, married life and impending identity change.In the end, I had to go all the way to Scarlett's big estate while they were both at home and force them to have a few words so that I could at least write a sentence or two. During the time I played the reporter, Scarlett read the first draft of the biography.We were both in a hurry because Stella Press wanted to publish the biography at the same time as the wedding.Fortunately, Scarlett was very satisfied with my first draft, and only made some minor revisions to a few descriptions of her personality. She felt that I might have misunderstood her narration.The week before the wedding, the manuscript had been sent to the printing house, and articles for newspapers and magazines were about to be published.I've finally done something big.

Now it's just a personal matter, the wedding invitations have my name and Pete's name on it.I was hesitant to tell Pete that maybe he had work that day and he probably didn't want to be there.In the end, I decided not to tell him.I know it's a cowardly thing to do, but I just want to be in a good mood on my wedding day.There must have been a lot of reporters rushing to take pictures that day, but I was able to stay out of the spotlight safely.With so many stars present, no one would notice my role. On the day of their wedding, the happy young couple dressed up glamorously.Scarlett's wedding dress is simply exquisite.Even though she was eight months pregnant, you couldn't tell she was pregnant under the cover of that ivory silk dress.The gauze hat trimmed with gold and lace wrapped around her head, like a halo of love, making her more attractive than the cover model of "Yes" magazine.Joshu is also in decent spirit.The hair was well-manipulated and matched with a well-fitting suit.I really wish his family would be there to see how clean he is now.But, he always felt that unless he was invited to watch the ceremony where Scarlet was stoned to death, it was impossible for his mother to be there.Thinking of this level, it is better for the young couple to stay far away from the groom's family.

The wedding itself was also very solemn and solemn, and both couples chose a non-religious ceremony.The oath was written very movingly, and the music was not written by Joshu.In addition, because the ceremony was held in the morning, the guests had not had time to drink, so no one made trouble at the banquet.The wedding surprised me and disappointed the reporters. In the evening, although the banquet hall of the hotel is not in a mess, most of the guests have almost enjoyed themselves, including the groom of course.Scarlett spent almost the whole night leaning on the soft pillow on her back before finally making it through to the end of the ceremony.She stood gracefully and blew kisses to every guest who wanted to hug her.Standing aside, I could see that she couldn't hold on anymore.

I found Josh among a group of friends at the bar in the corner of the ballroom.His tie was on one side of his collar, the jacket of his suit was hanging over the back of a chair, and his forehead was wet with hair.That look is nothing short of a slut.Of course he couldn't be expected to rescue the bride from the crowd of enthusiastic guests.I ignored him, thinking that in the end the bride would run to him and scold him, making the wedding the first quarrel in their married life.That way at least he won't ruin the honeymoon. In fact, it is impossible for them to have a honeymoon. At least not for now.Because Scarlett was so pregnant, no airline was willing to accept such a passenger.Scarlett and Joshua also felt that it would not be a honeymoon without a flight across continents and oceans.Therefore, the two of them will stay at home quietly for a period of time, and when the child is old enough, the family of three will go to the Maldives to play.Therefore, the presence or absence of Josh during this period is not a big problem.

I was going to look for George, but he was nowhere to be seen.In the end, I only came across Carla George's assistant.She's drunkenly courting a starlet in a soap opera.She woke up for a little while, though, and told me George had left hours ago.Fortunately, Kara also knows the phone number of the car booking service, and we still have a way to send the distressed couple home. I called the driver and asked him to wait in front of the hotel in five minutes.I quietly came to Scarlett's side, leaned close to her ear and said, "You must be getting tired, I've already called a car."

She turned around and kissed me on the cheek. "I love you, Stefan," she said, "Come on, Joshua can't help you at all, you better go with me." "I was going to..." "Hey, come on, Stefan. This is a wedding, and I can't just get angry. You can at least take me home and have fun with me for a while." She made a pitiful look, pouted and muttered. Thus, Scarlet quietly left the banquet accompanied by her knife-handler.We talked and laughed all the way back to Isaac County, talking about the costumes and strange behavior of the guests at the banquet.As soon as she got back to the door of her own villa, Scarlet immediately looked like a deflated ball, and finally climbed out of the back seat of the luxury car.She looked exhausted and haggard under the light.She put her arms around my waist and braced herself, and we supported each other as we staggered into the house.I wanted to help her directly onto the bed, but halfway through, she let out a "hmm" and fell headfirst on a couch. "I'm going to take off the clothes that are in the way," she said angrily, "but I can't use any strength."

I ran into the kitchen to make some tea, and when I came back, I saw that she had taken off the outermost wedding dress, only wearing a thin silk petticoat, half lying and half sitting on the sofa, protruding her round belly . "This day..." she sighed.She raised her left hand, moved to the light, and carefully looked at the big golden ring on her ring finger. "Mrs. Patel," she said with a smirk, "those people in Holbeck must be delighted." "What Holbeck?" "That's what Leeds call the Lost Continent, and I was born there. Half the population is Asian, and the other half think the British National Party is too left. You know, I don't want to Change the surname and use my original surname."

"Do you miss your family?" "No," she replied, "did I tell you that my mother wanted to contact me? My reputation had reached the ears of a drunkard like her, and of course it could have been told by my sister. They might I think being famous can bring benefits to them. Fortunately, all their calls went to George. Faced with their stalking, George, an old Jianghu, certainly has a way. He knows how to scare that kind of society The bottom one. He threatened her and scared her away. I don't feel sad at all. I just think about when the wedding will be over all day."

I yawned and said, "That's right." I stood up, "Then I'm going home now." "Hey, come on, Stephan." Scarlett sat up straight and stopped, "You can't leave me alone on my wedding night, it's not right." I smiled and said, "If the reporters found out, what would they write? 'Scarlett spent her wedding night with her ghostwriter'? I think I'd better go back." "No, really, Stefan. I don't want to be alone tonight." The atmosphere of lighthearted teasing was swept away.Scarlett said with a serious face, "I feel terrible, I really don't want to be alone."

You can tell she's not kidding me.I didn't want to stop in desolate Isaac, but I didn't want to disappoint her either.It's all because of that useless Joshu, who actually left the bride at home on the wedding night, and went to hang out with those DJ friends by himself. "Then I'll let the car go first," I said. As soon as I got back, we both went back to our rooms.Scarlet walked up the stairs step by step and returned to her room, while I went straight to the room near the swimming pool.The room has been cleaned, and the spotless appearance is even more elegant than that of a hotel, but there is a cute fluffy gorilla next to the pillow.I don't know if this was specially used by Scarlet to decorate the room, or it was left behind by the previous owner of the villa.In the drawer of the closet, there are unisex pajamas.Disposable toothbrushes, razors and condoms wrapped in plastic bags are stored in the bathroom cabinet.Dressy paper towels line the shelves in the shower area.Scarlett was inexperienced, George ordered Carla to arrange all of this, or the cleaning company directly. I couldn't even put on my pajamas, wash my face and brush my teeth.I had to write the wedding part in the biography the next day.Thinking of this, I feel that the last bit of energy is about to be exhausted.Before I could close my eyes, I fell asleep.
