Boyce was quite helpless. “Do you think I can quit it as long as I want? Even if I would retire, I must
resolve the current case first.”
Armand said in a cold tone, “Why didn’t you tell us earlier? Now you’ve come here. Aren’t you afraid to
bring dangers to your daughter and son-in-law?”
“Alas...” Boyce heaved a sigh. He was afraid that Bonnie would misunderstand him if he refused to
come over. After all, her wedding was a big thing, once in her life. If he missed it, he wouldn’t be able to
make it up for her. Besides, Bonnie was his only daughter. He wanted to hand her in Joshua’s hand in
person.
“You should be more careful. You even haven’t found out about the traitor yet. Probably, the traitor has
already leaked the news that you’ll come over to City C.” Armand didn’t think Boyce’s official title would
be any helpful.
Matthew agreed with Armand. “Yeah. You must be careful recently.”
“We should tell about this matter so he could be on guard. If he didn’t know it and in case anything
happened, he wouldn’t know how to deal with the matter.” Armand gulped down a glass of wine.
Boyce felt quite sorry for Joshua. He said, “I’ll tell him about this matter, Armand.”
“Do you think I’m such a coward?” He moved the wine glass away from Armand and continued, “You
are aged. Drinking is not good for your health. Joshua is my son-in-law. Why do I need you to be the
messenger for me?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? He’s your son-in-law, but he has been with us longer than you
have,” Armand retorted, “Are you bullying me?”
Boyce shushed immediately. He didn’t want to continue arguing with Armand ask he knew what
Armand was implying. If they continued, Armand would complain that he was bullying him because he
didn’t have any children.
Boyce was afraid to argue with Armand on such a topic, so he decided to keep silent.
After dinner, Boyce asked Joshua to go to his room and told Joshua about his current status alone.
“I’m so fed up with Dad. He even hiding something from me and only tells Joshua about it. He refuses
to let me hear his secret. Am I or Joshua his daughter?” Bonnie bitched about her parents to Amanda
after being sent out of the room.
Amanda smiled. “Joshua can’t be their daughter. He could be their son at the most.”
Bonnie laughed. She walked to the car and asked, “Amanda, do you want to drive?”
Amanda pulled the door of the passenger’s seat open and sat in. “Go ahead and drive,” she said.
They were heading to the matrimonial home. According to the tradition, the bride couldn’t meet her
bridegroom on the day before the wedding. Hence, Bonnie was supposed to be in her maiden family’s
house right now. However, her maiden family wasn’t in City C, even farther than City B. It would be way
too far away. Hence, Bonnie would stay in the matrimonial home and Joshua still stayed in the villa.
The matrimonial home was a bit far away from the villa, and Bonnie said she would feel scared when
being there alone, so Amanda would go with her. She would stay there with Bonnie for the night. After
the wedding, Joshua and Bonnie would be staying here.
Joshua and Bonnie were still young, so others believed that they needed their own space, especially
they just got married. Hence, they didn’t make Joshua and Bonnie continue staying in the villa.
“You’re getting married soon. Will you feel too excited to sleep?” Amanda teased Bonnie.
Bonnie smiled brightly and shyly. “I’ve known him for a long time. Why should I be excited?”
“Oh, really?” Amanda approached her and asked, “Tell me. Have you and Jos made love yet?”
Bonnie immediately blushed more. Pretending to be calm, she said, “Amanda, you are so evil.”
Amanda laughed.
Arriving at the house, they got off. All supplies were ready in the house, and it was fully decorated.
“Let’s sleep in the guestroom,” said Amanda. “You need to go to sleep earlier. Tomorrow, you need to
get up early for the makeup.”
Bonnie asked, “Shall we share the same bed or sleep in two rooms?”
Amanda asked with a smile, “Do you want to sleep with me?”
“We have everything in the guestrooms, anyway. We can sleep in separate rooms.” Bonnie was afraid
that Amanda would tease her again.
“Okay.” Amanda pulled out a blue velvet box to her. “This is the wedding gift for you.”
“The wedding is tomorrow. Why do you give it to me now?” Bonnie didn’t take it over right now. Staring
at the box, she could tell that it might be a jewellery box. “I can’t accept it if it’s too valuable.”
Amanda smiled. “Jos is our most precious baby. Now you have him. What could be more valuable than
him?”
She pressed the box into Bonnie’s arms and added, “I know Jos will treat you well and he should have
also prepared a lot of things for you. However, it’s my blessing. You must accept it.”
Amanda pulled another box and said, “And this is for you, too.”
“Two gifts?” Bonnie looked up at her.
“Go to sleep earlier. I’ll wake you up tomorrow morning.” Amanda pushed the door open and walked
into her room.
Bonnie held the gifts from Amanda to another room with a smile.
Sitting on the bed, she opened the boxes. There was diamond jewelry in the first jewelry box. In the
other box, there was a black slip dress, quite sexy.
She blushed a bit. In her mind, she started to imagine what she looked like in Joshua’s presence when
she was wearing such a sexy dress.
She felt shy and expectant.
Bonnie put away the boxes.
Then she went to take a shower. In fact, she was a bit excited today. Tomorrow, she would get married
and become Joshua’s wife, so she couldn’t help imagining and expecting.
She tossed about on the bed but couldn’t fall asleep at all.
She got up and went to the master bedroom alone.
She pushed the door open, overwhelmed by the celebrating atmosphere. She saw the red beddings
and their wedding photo was hanging on the wall above the bed.
Joshua was wearing the classic black suit, wrapping his hand around her waist. They were both
smiling. She was wearing a white wedding dress, which was designed particularly by Theresa for her,
which was unique in this world. Their wedding dresses were all designed by Theresa in person.
The house was decorated by Armand and Theresa together.
She saw the red and pink balloons as well as the colorful ribbons, making her feel so happy and
excited even if she was just looking at them.
Bonnie pulled out her phone and texted Joshua. “Are you sleeping?”
Probably Joshua didn’t see it. He didn’t reply.
It was already quite late at night. She guessed that Joshua must be sleeping now.
Staring at the phone screen, Bonnie texted again. “Joshua, I love you.”
After sending the message, she felt quite sickening. She giggled while staring at the screen.
When she wanted to withdraw the message, she failed. When she locked the phone screen and was
about to go back to her room, she heard some noises at the window. She walked over to have a check,
and the window was opened suddenly.
Bonnie wanted to scream by instinct. However, as soon as she let out a sound, the man jumped in front
of the window, pounced at her onto the bed, and covered her mouth.
“Are you Bonnie?” The man squinted at her, looking at her carefully to study her expression. “Is Boyce
Shawn your father?”
