After a night of hustling,
The group finally returned to the holiday villa.
Kane said to Joyce, "You guys rest, I'll go back to the control room to keep watch. I've got a recliner, so if I get tired, I can rest. Sis, don't worry."
Joyce smiled, "You came to attend a wedding, not to work shifts. How can I let you stay up all night and sleep in the control room?"
"What's the big deal? Do you remember back when we were doing development work, staying up for several nights without sleep. Sis, I'm young, it's no big deal." Kane patted Anderson, "You, young man, should go back to sleep. No need to learn bad habits like staying up late."
Anderson rolled his eyes, "Got it, so naggy."
Cecelia pulled Anderson to her side, "Alright, I'll take him back to rest first. Luther, handle the rest. Make sure to send Elsa away before daybreak and keep the news under wraps."
"Understood." Luther nodded.
After everyone left,
Luther instructed Aaron on a few things one by one.
Joyce had been waiting by the side for Luther.
After finishing his instructions, Luther gently embraced Joyce, "You go back and rest first, there's still some time before daybreak. You can get some more sleep. Once the makeup artist and stylist arrive, you won't be able to rest anymore."
"I'm not sleepy, how could I possibly fall asleep again?" Joyce smiled, "I'll stay here with you. I can't sleep alone when you're not done yet."
"Alright. Then I'll hurry." Luther nodded.
He quickly arranged everything in an orderly manner.
After everything was arranged, he took Joyce in his arms, "Let's go, everything is taken care of. Let's go back and rest."
"Okay." Joyce nodded.
Back in the room,
Luther checked the time, set an alarm, and could still sleep for more than two hours. It was enough for him.
He held Joyce in front of him, then lay back against the bed. He gently stroked her smooth back until he heard her even breathing. Seeing that she had fallen asleep.
He himself lay down, closed his eyes to rest, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders, and with his darling wife in his arms, he relaxed a lot. Soon, he entered deep sleep.
The next day,
When the daylight was completely bright, the cell phone alarm rang.
Luther abruptly opened his eyes and quickly turned off the phone.
In his arms, Joyce was still maintaining the position from last night, nestled in his arms, peacefully sleeping. Rarely, the alarm did not wake her up. He hesitated to wake her up, so he let her sleep a few more minutes.
The sunlight leaked through the curtains, shining into her hair, her lush hair gleaming with moisture. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke her soft hair. Though not bound by formality, today, he was going to announce to the world that she was his wife, for the rest of his life. Putting his mark on her.
Thinking of this, the curve of his mouth rose. He felt particularly content inside.
Now, waking up every morning and seeing her lying beside him, asleep, was the happiest thing for him. It should be like this from now on.
Joyce felt the movement under her, and she gently opened her eyes.
Seeing Luther already up.
