Chapter 380 Wedding (1)
A car is seen driving into the countryside. The car with an expensive brand looks a little out of place there because there are not many people who drive that kind of car there.
"Have we come to the right place?" asked a blonde woman sitting in the passenger seat. Her face full of make-up and wearing a pastel-colored dress made the woman shine even more with her natural beauty, even her worried expression still made her look beautiful.
Well, the woman was worried not without reason. Right now they were supposed to go to their friend's wedding, but her husband insisted not to use maps because he had been there before.
"Don't worry, babe. I told you I know the place," replied the blonde haired man who was wearing a suit casually.
When he saw the place on the wedding invitation that his friend was going to take place, the man was a little surprised. He had no idea that his friend would do it there.
It was a place he had visited several times before in the past.
It's an orphanage.
To be honest, that man had various kinds of memories there in the past. It was the place where he met the woman who had run away in the morning after their passionate night, and the place where the short relationship was ended by the woman.
In addition, it was also a place he visited several times even though the woman had ended their relationship.
Who would have thought that he would come again at that place, to attend that woman's wedding?
However, all that is in the past. Now he has a wife who he loves very much and a sweet daughter as a result of their love.
Not long after, the car driven by the blonde haired man finally arrived at their destination. He could see that there were several cars parked there, and he immediately parked his car in the empty parking lot.
After feeling everything was ready, the man went out with his wife, not forgetting he took his daughter who was sitting in the back seat.
"Uncle Steve!"
The man who had just closed the back door immediately smiled when he saw two small kids who came running towards him.
"Hey boys," Steve greeted the two kids. He then lowered his daughter who immediately asked to come down as soon as she saw the twins.
"You two look handsome," said Anna when she saw the two of them.
The two little kids blushed when they heard that.
"Aunt Anna looks like a princess! You are so pretty" said Gabriel with a blushing face.
"Really?" asked Anna with a smile on her face.
She always loved seeing how the two little kids always blushed when looking at her . It feels good.
The two kids nodded their heads.
"Sienna looks beautiful too," Raphael said while watching Sienna who was wearing a dress with a cute bandana that looked beautiful.
"Thank you," Anna replied with a smile at that, while Sienna looked to be walking straight up to the twins.
"Come on! Uncle Steve, Aunt Anna. We will escort you!" said Gabriel excitedly.
"Oh! Are you in charge of escorting guests? Thank you," Anna answered with a smile on her face and walked after them.
Meanwhile, Steve has been keeping an eye on his wife interacting with the twins. He could see that his wife was always smiling and looking at them with excited eyes when talking to the twins.
He knew that Anna had talked about wanting another kid, but Steve said that they should not do it soon because Sienna is still 2 years old. His real reason to do it was because Anna had just returned to modeling.
Looks like, after this they will have to talk about it again.
The couple then followed the twins who walked towards the back of the orphanage's main building. Steve, who initially thought that it would be done in the building, was surprised again. He didn't expect Sarah to want to do it in the backyard.
That slightly reminded him of the past when the three of them met at that place. Looking back, it really was like a movie. So cliche.
Once there, Steve could see several empty seats already filled. He was slightly surprised when he saw that there were only a few seats. Looks like they won't be inviting many guests.
Steve could also see Michael greeting some of the guests, then finally approached them to say hello.
"Sarah is waiting for you inside," Michael said, looking at Steve and telling her the woman's message yesterday. "You can meet her when the ceremony is gonna start.
Steve just nodded at that.
"I still can't believe the first woman you're going to walk down to the aisle is not our daughter," said Anna jokingly when Michael had left. She had indeed been told by Steve about it before.
To be honest, Anna was very surprised by that. She even thought that Steve was just kidding.
Well… after all, she knows what happened between them in the past.
However, it seemed that she no longer needed to worry about that. Sarah had considered Steve as her family, and after learning that Sarah had asked Steve to do this because she was an orphan, Anna knew that woman would never seduce her husband.
"Well… I guess so. I just hope I don't make a mistake," said Steve who could feel that he was getting nervous. It wasn't even his wedding, but he was nervous too.
A few moments later, the empty seats that were there began to be filled slowly when the time showed 1 pm.
A man then immediately stepped forward, it seemed he was in charge of emceeing.
Seeing that the ceremony was about to start, Steve immediately whispered to Anna that he is gonna go, and Anna just cheered him on while patting him on the back. Steve then immediately went into the building he had entered in the past.
As soon as he got there, he could see Michael, the twins, Michael's parents, and also Teresa. He couldn't see Sarah.
Teresa then told Steve where Sarah was, and Steve headed straight there. It's on the second floor.
Apparently, Sarah really wanted to show off her appearance when the bride was called and not gonna let anyone see her, even the twins. He could even see Michael forbidding his kids from following him when they found out that he was going to meet Sarah.
Steve then immediately knocked on the door of the room and told Sarah that it was him and the door was immediately opened from inside the room.
Since Sarah doesn't have a bridesmaid, they were the only ones in the room.
"Wow! You look very beautiful!" said Steve with a big smile on his face and eyes shining.
He knows that woman is beautiful, it's just that because she rarely uses makeup so she looks ordinary. However, for today, the woman really looks very beautiful in her white wedding dress.
"Thanks," Sarah replied with a smile on her face.
The atmosphere between the two of them then became a little awkward with silence because they didn't know what to talk about while waiting for the bride's turn to be called.
"Sarah" Steve muttered suddenly sitting in the chair looking at Sarah.
"Huh? Yeah? What is it?" asked Sarah who looked nervous. It wasn't the first time she was getting married, but she was really nervous.
"Can I ask you a question? Why did you guys decide to do the wedding here? Was that Michael's idea?" Steve asked with a smile, understanding Sarah who looked nervous.
"No. That was actually my idea," Sarah replied with a smile.
"To be honest, in the past, I wanted to hide as much as I could that I grew up in an orphanage, that I didn't have a mother and father. Back then even Michael didn't know which orphanage I grew up in," said Sarah.
Steve was silent when he heard that. He didn't expect that the reason turned out to be so deep. Though he just wanted the atmosphere not to be awkward.
"However, maybe it's because I'm an adult, or because I've accepted that part of my life. I decided to tell everyone. I can also provide food for the kids here."
Steve just nodded his head when he heard that. He had never thought that Sarah had felt that way in the past to hide that she was an orphan.
"I guess we really have grown up a bit, huh?" Steve said with a smile.
Sarah snorted at that. "I don't think you've grown up," she replied with a laugh.
"I've grown up, okay!" Steve answered while pouting his lips.
Sarah just chuckled at that.
"Ahh… Steve. Thank you very much," Sarah said suddenly with a smile on her face. She, who had been nervous before, had calmed down a bit because of that man.
Before Steve could open his mouth to answer, there was a knock on the door, and a voice told Sarah to get down because it would soon be the bride's turn to be called.
Steve and Sarah then immediately went out and went down to the first floor, then stood in front of the exit door.
"You are ready?" Steve asked, turning to the woman who was beside him who seemed to be taking a deep breath. Steve also did the same. He was really nervous.
"Yes, I'm ready!" Sarah replied and immediately hugged Steve's arm, preparing to meet her groom.
