Chapter 995 I’ve Got Your Back
Just as Branden was about to speak up, no longer wanting to put Catherine on the spot, Catherine smiled and spoke first. “I do! I used to think I would be lonely for the rest of my life, but you gave me the courage to enter into marriage. I have no regrets marrying you.”
Always being serious and stiff in front of others, Branden suddenly broke into a big, hearty laugh at this moment.
He was so happy that the girl he liked had finally become his wife.
The heartwarming scene touched many people into tears.
Most of the people here were friends of Catherine. They all knew how powerful she was. But they also knew what Catherine had been through to get to where she was today.
The emcee standing on the side was all teary-eyed, holding the microphone and announcing the next process in a choked voice, “Now let’s give them wonderful applause as a blessing. Congratulations to this loving couple. Wishing them a lifetime of happiness together.”
There was thunderous applause from the audience. Zobber and the others were clapping with tears in their eyes, shouting loudly and cheering, “Kiss the bride!”
Catherine was just standing there when Branden gently lifted her veil.
With all the blessings from the crowd, he kissed his most beautiful bride on the lips.
The wedding process was really short. There wasn’t even a moment for either side’s parents to say a few words.
Some people were guessing that maybe it was because Karl didn’t like Catherine, so he didn’t even want to go up on stage.
But when the camera switched to Karl’s face, the usually stern old man smiled so much that his eyes practically disappeared, raising the glass to toast with everyone generously.
Simon usually kept a tight rein on his diet but didn’t even try to stop him today.
When others asked, Simon just smiled and explained, “It’s been a long time since Mr. Karl has been this happy. Today is a big celebration, so let’s not dampen his spirits and let him enjoy himself.”
What was more important was that Mr. Theo himself was on the scene. With this miracle doctor around, Simon didn’t have to worry about Karl’s health.
He couldn’t even sleep all night out of excitement on such a happy day, not to mention Mr. Karl, who had been looking forward to this for decades.
‘Who’s going to go up and try to persuade now? That’s just asking for trouble!’ thought Simon.
Catherine had just got off the stage when Karl immediately went up and personally pulled out the chair beside him for her. “Tired? Sit down and take a break!”
Catherine waved her hand and rejected Karl. “Grandpa, let me go upstairs to change first.”
The dress with a long hem made it impossible for Catherine to sit down. When Karl heard this, he quickly ordered someone to take Catherine up.
As soon as everyone left, Karl pulled Branden over. “We’ll take of this. Let Catherine rest upstairs later; no need to come down.”
Branden also didn’t want Catherine to be too tired, so he nodded and said, ” Got it, Grandpa.”
Karl even had the cook prepare a small table of food specifically for Catherine and had Branden personally deliver it.
Everyone around saw the Duncans’s love for Catherine with jealousy in their eyes.
This was the top-tier rich family; they were truly showered with immense favor.
Even though he just gotten married, Branden had zero interest in socializing. “Grandpa, thank you.”
Karl took one look at Branden and knew exactly what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, “Go on. I’ve got your back.”
“Thanks, Grandpa!” Branden turned around and left. ‘There was no point in drinking with these people here. I might as well go upstairs and cuddle with my wife.’
Since it was a wedding, the groom should, of course, be with the bride.
Branden just ditched all the guests and left in a big way.
