Bringing the Nation's Husband Home III

XLVIII

The next day, both the bridesmaids and groomsmen were due for fitting.

Alexander had ordered the clothes from a high end private wedding club, a famous designer was specifically sent over from overseas.

Both the bride's wedding gown and the bridemaids' gowns were unique and specially made.

The wedding club had a traditional name, "Bliss for a Hundred Years". That day, they had a meeting at 11pm.

When Alexander and Isabelle arrived, Camila, Helen, James, and Jake were already there.

Alexander's assistant was already married hence he was arranged to be the emcee but he was still around to join in the fun and try out the suit that Alexander had ordered for him.

Before he came, he predicted that some of them would have skipped breakfast so he took a turn to grab some takeaways before going over.

The designer and his assistants were already arranging the clothes when the assistant came over with takeaways. He called out for everyone before setting the food on the table.

Aware of Helen's preferences, James pushed a bowl of century egg with lean meat porridge over to her. He stirred the bowl several times and took a sip. When he was assured of the taste, he sent a spoonful over to her mouth.

Helen looked at him sideways, then just as she was about to accept the porridge, she suddenly felt repulsed. Turning her head to the side, she stood up and headed to the restroom, disregarding James.

James frowned, his gaze following Helen's back.

Ever since yesterday night, there seemed to be something amiss... First, she came home soaked in the smell of alcohol. When he had asked her what happened, she remained silent. After she took her shower, she fell asleep right away, and when he tried to touch her, she kicked him off the bed. Before he could get angry at her, she left the room with her pillow in hand, entering the guest room beside, and even locking the door.

This morning, he thought that they were going to "Bliss for a Hundred Years" together, but after he took his shower and was about to call for her, she had grabbed her bag and headed to the entrance, disregarding his presence. She had left her car outside so he grabbed her car keys before leaving the apartment. He hurriedly rushed down thinking that she would wait for him but his car was no longer in sight. That aside, when he reached "Bliss for a Hundred Years", he saw his car parked outside with a police ticket...

Helen had parked illegally!

There was so much empty space in the underground car park but she had deliberately parked in the middle of a busy road!

After entering "Bliss for a Hundred Years", he sat down beside her and tried to engage her in conversation, but yet again she ignored him.

He had never been so accommodating towards her so why was she still ignoring him!

When he had brought a spoonful of porridge to her, his mood took a change, thinking that she was going to accept it, but the next moment she left with a crestfallen expression.

This woman was too much!

James laughed once, placing the spoonful of porridge into his own mouth, but before he could taste it, he hesitated, then tossed it away. Slouching back on the sofa, he fell into a daze for a short while before heading to the restroom worriedly.

There was a huge hall filled neat rows of cabinets with every kind of ring in existence between the changing room and the restroom.

When he passed by, one of the cabinets caught his attention. He bent down and stared at one of the rings with a pink diamond.
