People would always boo and hoot at the wedding ceremony and they often joked with each other as long as they didn't violate the principle. Irish felt at a loss since she was held to the center of the stage. Those unmarried young girls all rushed to Irish. Seeing this, she turned to Joseph out of the subconscious. However, Joseph neither stepped forward to help her out of a predicament nor told them they had broken up. He just stared at her, bathing under the sunlight, his eyes flickering with lights. He wore a faint smile, meaningful and difficult to see clearly.
Cassie held a bunch of flowers, running her eyes over the crowd since they tried to find out where Irish was. Roy took over the microphone and then said to Lilith. "Lilith, don't stand motionless there. Go and stand along with Irish. She is a lucky girl today. I hope you can be as lucky as her and find your Mr. Right as soon as possible."
Lilith's face flushed, and she rolled her eyes at Roy.
It seemed that there were many unmarried girls.
A crowd attended Irish, but an unnamed feeling occurred to her. 'I will never get married. The bride's flower should be given to other girls.' Irish thought in her mind, but she didn't say anything.
"Please get ready. I am going to throw my flowers," said Cassie abruptly. Anxiousness occurred to Irish somehow as she heard this from Cassie because she felt that she was unable to catch the flowers.
Things always changed frequently, just as the relationship between Irish and Joseph did. When Joseph asked her if she would like to be with him in Lantern Town, Irish was sure that she loved this man so much and that she would never fall in love with others. She was even looking forward to marrying him someday. Although Joseph was always busy with his work, she didn't care about that. She was willing to wait for him every night. She would like to take a walk with him every single day and snuggle up to him on cold days.
Irish believed that she would be with him for her whole life, but now they have broken up. Joseph brought her sweetness but also caused pain to her. Irish felt heartbroken, but he just smiled faintly. That was why Irish felt that she didn't deserve Cassie's flower. Cassie began to count backward, and finally, she threw up the flowers. It was a bunch of roses with purple silk ribbon. All of them held their breath, staring at the flowers, and were ready to catch it, including Irish. She could even feel the fresh fragrance of the roses floating in the air. Her heart was pumping. Although she felt that it was impossible for her to get the lucky roses, she still didn't give up.
And she hoped that she could get it. Soon the flower was falling towards Irish, and she was getting more nervous. When the silk ribbon swept over her face, Irish reached out her hands subconsciously. However, it just flew over her head, and she didn't catch it. The hope faded gradually. 'I know what will happen.' thought Irish with disappointment.
But soon, the people present started making a sound of surprise. Irish was confused since she didn't know what had happened, so she looked back to find out what had happened, but soon she also widened her eyes with astonishment.
The flower finally fell into Joseph's arms which shocked the people there.
Obviously, Joseph was also startled since he didn't expect it. He wore an embarrassed smile and lowered his head.
Roy was pleased to see that, and he turned to Joseph and said loudly, "Joseph, this is your fate. God also hopes you get married earlier. It was my first time seeing a man catch the bride's flower."
Cassie grinned as she heard this, while Irish just stood there motionless, staring at the rose in Joseph's hand. 'If he gets married to another girl someday, will I be dead to all feelings? No, it will definitely drive me crazy. God must be joking with me, or why would Joseph catch the bride's flower?' Irish was absorbed in her thought.
"I know many colleagues came here. Everybody, it is your time to take revenge. Go ahead and snatch the bride's flower. Hurry up," joked Roy.
Those young girls all rushed to Joseph as soon as Roy finished his words, while others also joined in the battle. They rushed forward while Irish, who stood in the center of the crowd, was inevitably pushed to Joseph and couldn't stand firm. And soon, she fell into Joseph's arms and soon fell down to the ground but was held by Joseph. Irish felt that Joseph's wooden fragrance surrounded her, and at that moment, he held her waist. She felt so embarrassed, and when she was about to step aside, she found that it was out of her control since they were getting so excited to hear her. They all tried their best to get the bride's flower from Joseph, forcing Irish to get closer to Joseph.
Indeed, Joseph had loosened his grip as Irish stood up, but he found that those people rushed forward again, so he held her waist without any hesitation, trying to prevent her from being hurt. This way, Irish could not move away from his arms, with her face against his chest. And she could feel his warmth clearly.
A moment later, Joseph burst into laughter and persuaded them to stop grabbing. Irish could hear his laughter clearly since she was so close to his chest. Her nose twitched instantly, and she couldn't help but hold his waist.
'Joseph, Joseph...' Irish read his name silently in her mind. It lasted nearly five minutes, and finally, people spread out and walked away. It was not until then Joseph loosened his grip over her head, but his hand on her waist didn't move away. "Are you okay? Does your ankle get hurt?" he softly asked.
Irish was in a pair of high heels today, so she couldn't stand firmly when people rushed to her.
Irish dared not look into his eyes, so she looked down and shook her head slightly since she didn't get hurt.
"Go sit over there," Joseph added softly. Irish was about to refuse, but she couldn't persuade herself to do that since she was infatuated with his warmth and his breath. Therefore, she nodded slightly while Joseph held her to the resting area. They sat under the white floret umbrella with rose petals scattered on the ground. Irish was dressed in a white robe, making her look so pretty and refreshing.
