Bab 527: "I Do!"

She had tears in her eyes.

The tears of happiness. The tears of finally being able to be with the man that her heart desired. So without any further ado, she said,

"Yes, I do!"

Everyone clapped around, for now, it was official. Raymond's heart knew no bounds. He knew what she was going to say, but to hear her say those words, to hear her affirm her faith in their love brought profound solace to his heart.

Everyone rejoiced from the bottom of their hearts except for that one man, who stood there, being the official testimony of their unison. He also knew what she was going to say, but he didn't know how crumbled he would feel upon hearing it.

Taking a deep breath, he coughed a bit to adjust his voice which was giving away the state of his heart. Then he looked at Katherine, asking her to bring the ring for Akira.
