Chapter 139 - 139: The Wedding Of The Century
Murmurs soon erupted in the place.
While Nathan was patiently waiting for her answer, they didn\'t know that this live scene was being watched and broadcasted live on the four more pavilions inside the University compound.
The other students who were not there with them were envious to those students who were able to witness them live.
"No way! We want to be there too!"
"Yeah right!"
They were complaining at the students who were part of the organizing committee.
"Oh geez! Don\'t be so greedy! It\'s already a big bonus for us that we got to see this via livestream."
"True! This wedding would be written in history. And we should be proud that we are able to witness this. We witnessed this even before the whole world knew! That\'s something to be proud of."
While they were so invested on the topic, they gasped when they heard Kim Eunji\'s answer.
"Idiot!"
They were really caught by surprise.
Is it over for them?
Back in the main pavilion, the atmosphere became so tense that they felt suffocated. They thought that Nathan would be angry because she called him an idiot. Of course no one would want to hear such answer after your proposal. Therefore, they were dead worried for the couple without even realizing that their worries were really not needed at the moment.
Because when they checked on Nathan\'s reaction they were even more dumbfounded when they saw Nathan grinning like a happy kid who had just gotten his mother\'s favor.
Though Kim Eunji\'s tone was drop dead serious when she uttered that, her eyes were sparkling as she lovingly looked at the man she loved.
"Mr. Bai...do you really have to ask me that? Gosh! I hate you!" Kim Eunji said however her warm and gentle smile afterwards were showing otherwise.
"I know that\'s why I love you." Nathan answered her. "So will you marry me again my love? You know I have plans of marrying you in every country that we\'ll travel together in the future."
Kim Eunji\'s heart melted because she felt his sincerity and seriousness.
"Wifey, I won\'t get tired of asking you to marry me over and over again. I\'m just hoping that your answer would be the same."
"Hubby...you don\'t have to worry about that. My answer will always be the same."
Then Kim Eunji reached out and touched his face lovingly.
"Ye! I\'ll marry you again, Mr. Nathaniel Johnson or Nathaniel Bai."
"Really?!" Nathan asked her in excitement and at the same time he wanted to reassure that he heard Kim Eunji right.
"Why? As if you would accept it if I\'d say no." Kim Eunji even pinched the tip of his nose.
"Of course! I\'m quite confident that you\'d be moved with this surprise and would say yes. Also, I have been trying my best to be the best husband for my great wife." Nathan doted lovingly as he reached out and leaned closer to kiss her lips but even before he successfully kissed her, Nathan kissed the back of her right hand.
"Shouldn\'t we wait and make this after we finished saying our vows and \'I dos\'?" Kim Eunji innocently reasoned as she saw the priest on her peripheral vision patiently standing on the corner near the stage.
"Right. Okay, let\'s start. See you in a bit Missus Bai." Nathan said.
Kim Eunji watched Nathan\'s departing back until he reached on the platform a two hundred meters away from her.
Alice and Iris also came closer to her and arranged her wedding dress.
They helped her to put on a veil and also her handed her bridal bouquet.
"Alice. Why are you here?" Kim Eunji worriedly asked her. She still looked pale and sick. She clearly needed rest.
"I don\'t want to miss this wonderful moment EL. Hahahahaha! Who would have thought that someone was able to melt your Antarctic heart and made you to agree on marrying him?"
"Silly. Don\'t try to change the topic." Then she turned her attention to Iris and whispered, "Iris, please bring Alice somewhere else after my wedding. The environment was a bit unfriendly for her at the moment."
She said that as she saw Alice looking towards a certain section on the venue.
Kim Eunji didn\'t have to guess on who she was looking at the moment as she immediately recognized the group instantly.
They were the members of her team when she was still EL.
And obviously, Magnus was there together with his lover, Claire.
Kim Eunji didn\'t know but Alice looked anxious and guilty at the same time.
Kim Eunji had been observing Alice all this time waiting for her to spill the beans. However, her suspicion was proven right when the doctor told them the news earlier when they checked her.
Though they were both disappointed of Alice\'s actions last night, they never dared to blame her.
"I understand. I won\'t let anyone to hurt her in any ways."
Hearing how Iris had become protective of Alice, she felt like the two had reconciled. Iris also had an idea of what Kim Eunji was thinking about.
"Good."
Angelina then started playing a piano cover of a popular wedding song.
Then, everyone started to gather at the end of the isle which was now being covered with flower petals that the students were throwing.
Everyone started to walk. And it was now time for Alice and Iris to start walking on this wedding march.
Kim Eunji\'s heart melted when she saw Madame and Old Master Mo walking towards her.
"Mom...Dad..." Kim Eunji called them softly.
"Let\'s talk later okay? I\'ll fill you on the details later. But for now, let\'s not make the groom to wait more. He might grew impatient and immediately got you out of here." Madame Mo explained.
Kim Eunji understood her point and nodded.
She looked around trying to look for Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng. And there she found them. Kelly was sitting on the chair while Mo Jing-sheng was standing behind her."
"Darling, will you give the both of us the honor to walk you in the altar?" Old Master Mo asked Kim Eunji.
"Of course." Kim Eunji did not hesitate to accept their proposal. But then she realized that J was missing. She suddenly got worried. The last time Nathan and J met, it didn\'t go smoothly. She also knew that J had feelings for her so she was worried of J\'s feelings.
But then to her surprise, she found J standing near Nathan. This scene made Kim Eunji at ease and at the same time happy that the two had decided to set aside their conflicts just for her.
What more, she started to cheer up because she could recognize half of the crowd inside the venue. They were the people whom Kim Eunji had reached out to and changed their lives forever.
The rest were the students who were members of her two foundation.
So everyone present in the venue were those people whom she had interacted with at some level.
Warmth spread on her entire being. She wanted to run towards the person responsible for this.
For safety, everyone\'s phone was surrendered the moment they got inside the pavilion to avoid possible problems.
Because of this, they were now regretting not having their phones with them. This was after all the wedding of the century.
Kim Eunji suddenly felt like the isle was too long as she had suddenly grown impatient. She wanted to be beside Nathan as soon as possible.
Kim Eunji could not stop herself from being emotional as well.
Now she understood why brides would cry when they walked on the wedding isle. They were feeling tons of mixed emotions that it somehow felt overwhelming for her.
After a long wait, Kim Eunji had now finally arrived in front of Nathan.
"Though we\'re only her godparents, she\'s very dear in our hearts. She\'s like a daughter for us." Old Master Bai warned Nathan.
"Don\'t worry Uncle Mo, I\'m very serious with her. She\'s very precious to me as well so I would treasure and pamper her all the time." Nathan reassured.
"Good. Who would have thought that our jokes towards you during our Kelly and Ah Sheng\'s wedding preparation days would eventually come true?"
"Yeah." Nathan smiled as he recalled that night when Kim Eunji was having a bad dream after having her allergy relapse.
"Of course I will never forget that Uncle Mo. You\'re the one who gave me the idea of marrying her."
"Hahahha! Silly child. You always know how to sweet talk even us your elders! I could not wait to see little Eunji and little Nathan in the future! Our Mo Mansion is so big that we started to feel lonely sometimes." Madame Mo expressed.
Of course, Nathan and Kim Eunji understood what this two were implying. Therefore, they only smiled at them. They didn\'t want to make any promises to them.
After all, they wanted to build a family on their own.
The Mo couple then left Nathan and Kim Eunji on the altar with the priest starting the ceremony.
"We\'re now gathered here tonight to witness the sacred union of Nathaniel Bai and Eunji Kim. If someone is opposed to this wedding, please come forward and speak up." The priest said.
As his question was being answered by silence, the ceremony began.
Nathan\'s gaze could not stop looking at Kim Eunji who was constantly wiping the tears flowing on her cheeks.
Kim Eunji could not stop cursing herself inwardly as she felt like her crying was ruining the mood.
Then, it was the time for them to say their I do\'s, wear their rings and exchange their vows.
Since Kim Eunji came unprepared, she started to panic a bit. Which was really not her.
To ease her nerves, Nathan decided to go first.
"Believe me when I say I have been memorizing my vow since last night. And I thought I would still be able to remember for this moment. But after seeing her earlier, everything went on the drain." His remarks made everyone to chuckle.
"Gosh I\'m nervous!" Nathan said and even showed his shaky hands for everyone to see.
"Missus Bai...know that I\'ll be your greatest support no matter what you wanted to do. I have witnessed in my own eyes how independent you could be. However wifey...for my sake, please tone it down a bit. I don\'t want to feel like a useless husband on your side." Nathan pleaded which made everyone to be amused and laugh.
"I vow to keep doing my promise to you. To be the source of your happiness. To continue filling the void in your heart. Wifey...words are not enough to explain how much you meant to me. But I can immediately show you how much I\'m willing to sacrifice just to keep you by my side. Over the time that we\'ve been together, you become the light that illuminated my dark and lonely life. The billion stars above could not be compared to your worth in my life. So wear this ring that represents my eternal love for you until my next life."
