After all, Clover could still marry him happily even though she knew he was a jerk. Plus, she even invited Ben’s ex-wife under the name that they were virtual friends, to show off the fact that she married a jerk. She was a rare breed indeed.
The wedding continued without a hitch. Finally, after the bride and groom exchanged rings, Ben lifted the microphone excitedly. "Everyone present is a witness t o the love Clover and I share. Today, I would like to announce another piece of good news! Clover is pregnant! The baby is going to have a heartbeat soon!"
The moment Ben's words left his mouth, claps and the guests’ well-wishes rang out in the hall, making the atmosphere bright and lively.
Instead, Luna frowned, somehow feeling a wave of disgust. Her reaction was not mental, but physical.
She was going to be sick. And she did indeed get sick. She snatched the paper towels from the table and could not help but lean on the table and retched.
She did not eat anything from morning till now and yet her stomach was constantly churning, as if something was about to rush out of her stomach.
Joshua frowned, initially thinking that she did this on purpose to throw shade at Ben. But after retching for a while, she looked more and more sickly. Only then did
he realize she was not faking her discomfort. He held a cup of water and patted her back softly. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fi..." Luna tried her best to repress the churning in her stomach, but could not stop herself from retching once more. Even though the sounds of her dry retch were not loud, the noise stood out in stark contrast in the wedding hall. Not long after, almost everyone turned their eyes to her.
On stage, Ben, who was busy picturing his beautiful future with Clover was also forced to stop. He frowned and glanced at the center of the commotion. With just a look, his eyes instantly turned ice-cold.
Luna Gibson? What was she doing here? He did not remember inviting her. Besides, this woman purposely leaned on the table and retched after he announced Clover was pregnant. What was she trying to do?! She was definitely doing this on purpose!
Standing on stage, flames almost burst out of Ben's eyes that were glaring at Luna.
"Miss, you can leave if you're not feeling well. Even though we did not invite you, since you're here, you're also a guest. But if you're sick, you should get your sickness treated, don’t stay here and spoil the atmosphere, please?"
The moment these words left Ben’s mouth, everyone around her instantly turned to look at her.
"Why would she come for a free meal if they didn’t even invite her?” "It's fine if she’s just here for a free meal, but she's dryretching in the hall. It's so disgusting..."
"She's so rude. Her face is so pretty but who would’ve thought her actions were so despicable..."
The murmurs of the crowd around her turned uglier and uglier.
Luna frowned, but before she could speak, Joshua crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back coldly in his chair, and laughed, "Actually, you can't blame Ms. Luna for falling sick. After all, watching two such disgusting people say they're very happy... even I feel like vomiting."
