My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2109

I did not give it much thought and agreed right away.

Freya's ride arrived as soon as I finished getting ready. When I was at the door, Hendrix had just returned home. I asked why he came back so early, but I did not wait for his response and hurriedly hopped in Freya's car under his resentful gaze.

"That was Hendrix, wasn't it? Why didn't you tell him to tag along?" Freya glanced sideways at the villa.

"It's not necessary for men to be involved in women's affairs. Besides, he's busy. If he's not at work, how can I have the money to squander away?"

Freya nodded in agreement. "True."

Hendrix thought, "I didn't even know I was busy?"

The "Cultural City" project, as its name implied, was based on audiovisual projects by the Roberts Group. It showcased the modernization of western culture by current generations.

They blocked all modern transportations to fit the theme of the traditional city. There, we could already see people in traditional costumes and there were tourists everywhere.

The culture festival had not officially begun, but the merchants in the city had already set up their booths and basic facilities, enough to meet guests' demands.

We got out of the car and did some simple registration at the entrance. Even the security guards were dressed in traditional costumes, making me and Freya stand out like a sore thumb.

"Mommy?"

Out of the blue, Anne's voice sounded behind me. I turned around and saw her hair in a bun, donning an olive blouse, waving at me from the top of the city wall. Next to her was Josiah in an elegant white robe. He even styled his hair to fit the traditional theme and he reminded me of an ancient superhero.

If I had not turned around, I wouldn't even have noticed that the group of girls at the entrance were looking shyly at Josiah's direction, faces a shade of warm crimson.

This was not a surprising sight. Josiah's facial features were charming. His features had only gotten more appealing as he aged, something

females found enchanting.

The staff led us to the gate tower. We watched the crowd below and the stunning fireworks from a bird's eye view. The scene was so vivid that it felt like we had travelled back in time.

Anne voluntarily explained the whole process to us, "All preparations are already in place. Mr. Garland helped me out a lot. On the opening day of the ceremony, a total of 99 pairs of newlyweds around the globe will have their weddings in western costumes for the cultural campaign. Also, there will be a parade around the city. By then, there will be specialized teams broadcasting it live online. I am confident that this city and this festival will be a global sensation."
