Bab 113: My Wife

Song: Merry Go Round of Life by Joe Hisaishi.

The wedding went by like a blur. Everyone came up to greet her, wearing faux and real smiles, their gentle laughter, their mocking giggles. Eventually, everyone blended together, but she remembered their faces well. 

Adeline was always good at remembering people and the things they did to her. Amidst the people that hated her, she smiled brighter, just to scorn them even more. 

Adeline could feel the envious gazes poking at her skin, wishing she'd drop dead on the spot. She could feel the curious stares memorizing her features, her actions, and her words. 

Instead of the outdoor ceremony earlier, everyone was now seated inside a cavernous banquet hall. There were large tables with beautiful tall burgundy candles, white ribbons, golden and silver platters, chairs with presents, and the list went on.
