Upon seeing the man sitting in front of her, a quick scene flashed through her mind. Last month, when she went back to the Lawson family to borrow money, she was pulled into an alley by a man who suddenly rushed out and covered her mouth. "Let me go..." She struggled with all her might, but she was firmly held down by that man."Don't move, I won't hurt you!"
The man's low voice was deep and oppressive, making her instantly stop moving. Rushing footsteps came from the alley entrance, and a bright light shone in. The next moment, some people dressed in black rushed over from the entrance. Seeing this, the man quickly lowered his head and kissed her. Her lips felt a cold sensation and her eyes widened. She was so shocked that she failed to react for a moment.
After those people confirmed again and again they turned around and left after cursing the couple. She was still in a daze even after the man left her lips. The thick scent of blood drifted into her nostrils, and she became nervous again. "Are you hurt? Are those people here to catch you?"
The man didn't answer. He put on his clothes and asked expressionlessly, "What's your name?" The alley was very dark, so they could not see each other's faces. Odette covered her face and casually said a name, "I'm Bella."She had just seen those men who came to catch this man. So this man must not be a simple person. She didn't want to cause trouble her herself.
"Thank you so much for your help." The man tasked her and staggered towards the entrance of the alley. The moment he turned around, she saw the man's handsome face under the moonlight. She stood on the red carpet and looked at the Second son of the Smith family in shock, who was about to become her husband. Her heart trembled and subconsciously looked at his legs.
This impolite action caused an uproar. Luckily, Eric calmly opened his mouth to help her out. "Don't you know that my lower body is paralyzed?" Odette looked at the man in the chair and said, "I know!" Everyone knew about Eric Smith's disability. She should also know. She must have seen wrong. That man from a month ago was very healthy and could walk perfectly. How could he be the second son of Smith in front of her?
Furthermore, with Eric Smith's status, no more could chase after him. She must have remembered wrongly! When Odette thought like this, she finally calmed down. Soon, the wedding procedures started. Eric Smith was not able to move, so the wedding should be simplified. The emcee simply said a few words and then announced, "The ceremony is done! The groom can kiss the bride now!"
Eric is sitting in his wheelchair. Odette could not even bend down in her long wedding dress. It was also trouble for them to kiss. When the people presented saw this scene, they secretly curled their lips. The Emcee was about to smooth things over and let the bride and groom return to the room to kiss when he saw the bride holding the wedding dress with one hand and kneeling on one knee.
Odette kneeling on one knee with difficulty, "Mr. Smith, I'm sorry. I can't squat down in my high heels. That's all I can do." Her words had given Eric enough face. Eric's eyes flashed. He suddenly reached out and pulled Odette's arm. Odette turned around and sat on Eric's lap. "In the future, you call me husband!"
Odette panicked. "Your leg..." Eric looked at his leg and said"It's fine. My leg has long lost all feeling." Eric's low voice rang beside Odette's ear, sounding somewhat familiar. But she did not have time to think where she heard this, as a slightly cold lip pressed down and pressed against her lips. Eric kissed Odette in front of everyone.
After the kiss ended, Eric didn't let her go. He directly hugged her in his arms and said to the emcee, "Cancel the rest of the arrangements." After he said that, he did not wait for anyone's reaction as the two of them left the scene. The wedding room didn't have any decorations, so it wasn't much different from an ordinary room. In Eric's heart, this wedding was just a formality, and it was not important.
After entering the room, Eric put her on the bed and told her not to move. He left for a month. When he reappeared, there was a medical kit on his lap. "What Does this mean?" Odette was surprised.
"Take off your shoes." Eric opened the medicine box. "Do your feet still hurt?" Odette was stunned, she tried her best not to be discovered. She did not think that this matter was still discovered by Eric. So, he canceled the arrangement at the back and even used a wheelchair to bring her back to her room. It was because he knew that she sprained her ankle at the wedding?
Odette was a little surprised. It was rumored that Eric Smith had a strange personality. He was temperamental and could be very violent with the people around him. She thought that Eric didn't care about the wedding at all. But what did this action mean? Seeing her staring at him, Eric frowned. His voice was cold, "Do you want me to help you take off your shoes?"
"No, I can do it myself!" Odette immediately recovered her senses and took off her high heels in embarrassment. She had lived for twenty years and this was the first time she wore high heels. When she was walking on the stairs of the stage, she sprained her ankle. "You apply the medicine yourself. There are some clothes in the closet, and daily necessities are in the bathroom. Remember to come downstairs for dinner after you take a shower."
Eric seemed to have though of something at the last minute. He put the medical kit in her hand and walked out in his wheelchair with a gloomy face. Odette was a little confused but she did not dare to ask. She applied the medicine herself and limped over to open the closet. Inside was full of women's cloths.
And the size was exactly what she could wear. She didn't know if it was a coincidence or not. In short, form the beginning to the start of the wedding until now, things were not as bad as she had expected. Apart from Eric Smith's temper, the rumor about his being temperamental still made sense.
