The Runaway Groom
Chapter 1032

Even as Erin and James held each other's gaze, their lips curled into faint smiles.

It was a good day, especially for them, and it was only right that they would be happy.

No matter what happened before, they were happy at that very moment.

After the exchange of rings, the priest announced with perfect timing, “You may now kiss the bride."

Zachary hyped things up from the pews. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

James had been feeling a little awkward at first, and Zachary's goading only made him even more embarrassed.

He looked down at Zachary, stopping himself from snapping at the man because there were many others around.

Zachary even started whistling at James. "Kiss the bride! Or are you getting shy, bridegroom?"

While James was speechless, Erin giggled from Zachary's antics, and she was also close enough to see that James's ears were red.

She was actually surprised that he could get embarrassed.

"Come on, James! Get down here if you can't. I'll sub in!" Zachary's banter escalated further, since he knew that James would not snap at him just then.

Still, that was when Erin walked up to James, wrapped her arms around his neck, and stood on her toes to kiss him before he could react.

James stiffened, but he soon wrapped his arms around her waist and responded passionately.

Tommy then clapped like everyone else, but he asked Irene, "They're kissing, Mommy. Won't they get embarrassed?"

Irene patted his little head but said nothing, so Tommy looked up and asked, "Are you going to kiss Daddy too?"

Irene was speechless, and various expressions alternated over her face even as she lowered her gaze at her son.

How was she supposed to answer that?

Naturally, she did not notice Isaac hiding a smile as he watched her being left at a loss.

Nonetheless, Zachary scooped Tommy up in his arms and said, "Your parents would never have had you if they didn't kiss, y'know."

While Irene was left speechless again, Tommy blinked his bright large eyes in confusion. "What does that mean?"

"That means—"

"Zip it." Irene cut Zachary short before he could say anything. "Why have you become such a chatterbox ever since you got a daughter?" He certainly never spoke that much.

Zachary did not feel that way, however, and asked in return, "Have 1?" "Yes, you have," Irene replied confidently. “Try to keep it down—it's James and Erin's big day.”

"Fine, I'll stay quiet.” Zachary pouted.

Irene took Tommy off his arms. "And keep your mouth shut." Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zachary was left speechless.

Did she just tell him to be a mute? But he refused!

Soon, it was the wedding reception, and Erin left to change into something more comfortable.

Tommy insisted on seeing her, so Irene had to bring him along, while Isaac carried Baby and sat in a quiet corner—Mick had to look for him for a while.

"Why are you sitting here?" Mick asked. “There's some of my former business partners over there. I'll introduce you."

Isaac naturally sat there because he wanted to avoid socializing, but Mick was clearly doing this out of the goodness of his heart, since business people would never complain about having more connections. As such, he passed Baby to Mrs. Watson.

Tommy saw Erin in the lounge, having changed out of her bridal gown and into a Zidonian dress, while a make-up artist helped her with her mascara.

He blinked at her, saying, "You look so beautiful today, Aunt Erin." She turned at his voice to find Irene carrying him.

"Come on in." She smiled.

"Don't move," the make-up artist said, so Erin had to turn back to the mirror.

Irene put down Tommy, holding his little hand as they walked up to Erin, and she said, "I've prepared you a gift in your bridal suite.”
