"No. I want this uncle to hold me," Fern said while clenching Joseph's pants.
Jean helplessly smiled as he heard this.
Joseph bent down and held this little girl into his arms, asking her, "Who do you think is more handsome? Your father or me?"
Fern was smart enough to answer such a question. "Both of you are handsome," Fern replied skillfully.
"What a lovely and smart girl!" Joseph praised the little girl while looking at his friend.
"Yeah, sometimes there is nothing we can do with her. She is crafty and will never disappoint anyone," Jean proudly said while smiling.
Joseph pinched Fern's tiny cheek as he heard the words from Jean.
"Joseph, you can have several babies with Irish since she's going to be your legal wife. You seem like kids so much," Bowen suddenly suggested.
Shocked yet upset, Joseph soon calmed down and responded with a smile, "I would like to ask for Irish's opinion later."
"Joseph, you have to admit that you like kids so much," continued Bowen. It was easy to tell that Joseph liked children since he looked like a loving father when he looked at Fern.
However, Joseph just kept silent with a smile and said nothing.
Fern put her arms around Joseph's neck and said archly, "The bride is still not putting on the wedding dress."
Joseph rubbed Fern's hair and said in a soft voice. "She will put on the wedding dress soon."
However, Fern shook her head and added, "But the wedding dress is gone."
"What?!" Joseph was shocked.
"Fern!" Beatrice called her daughter and heaved a sigh of relief. "Come over here. Uncle is busy today," Beatrice extended her arms.
She stepped to Fern while saying. But Fern was determined not to loosen her grip. "No, I want Uncle to hold me. He is so handsome, like a prince."
Beatrice stood there and could do nothing to her stubborn daughter.
"Okay, okay. Uncle will not put you down," Joseph comforted her softly.
"Fern is getting more and more naughty. It is all your fault, Jean. You always dote on your daughter," Beatrice pouted her lips to Jean.
Jean just shrugged his shoulders, smiling.
"What is going on with Irish? Fern said the wedding dress is gone," Joseph asked worriedly.
"Nothing would be delayed," Beatrice quickly comforted him.
"Don't worry. Nick is there," Beatrice added.
Although confused, Joseph said nothing, but he knew that some troubles occurred since they needed help from Nick.
A moment later, the staff of the hotel came to remind them the wedding was going to start soon.
Jean hastily took Fern from Joseph's arms. Every link of the wedding was solemn.
Joseph was so nervous before Irish showed up, and he began to worry about her and was afraid that Irish might be caught in trouble.
When he was still absorbed in his thoughts, the guests all stood up and began to cheer. Slowly, Irish walked into the hall. Countless rose petals fell down slowly, and the guests were startled by the beautiful scenery.
To Joseph's surprise, the wedding dress looked so special and exquisite. When looking closely, Joseph found that the wedding dress was designed with white petal details, cut and tied with ribbons. It was an off-shoulder dress and was designed in a fishtail which looked chic. There was a long and white gauze at the back of the dress, blowing with the breeze, which made Irish look like a fairy.
The white petals details on the dress were also delicate and would never cause visual fatigue to people.
The stylist added some distinctive headwear, mainly purple lilies. In this way, Irish looked even fresher and more elegant. Indeed, it was Cassie who collected the headwear from their friends, and Cassie exclaimed that they could share the bride's luck.
In this way, Nick designed a unique wedding dress using four white shirts.
Irish also accepts Nick's suggestion and changes her hairstyle. The stylist draped her hair off, while Nick thought it was better to let Irish step on the red carpet barefoot. Although they supposed that Irish would show up in a luxurious way, they finally declined their assumption, and Irish appeared on the scene like a fairy.
Cassie also informed the wedding planner to cover all the red carpets with purple lotus petals.
So when the petals fell down, Irish walked in slowly barefoot.
Irish gently stepped on the purple lotus, and she was like floating in the breeze, which shocked the guests.
Joseph was also startled by such a beautiful Irish, and he felt she just looked like the princess in a fairy tale. The solemn music started while Irish stepped to Joseph, led by her Uncle Steven. Everything around faded since the spotlight beamed down on Irish. Daisy, the bridesmaid, as well as Leo were almost frozen.
Shocked, Leo stared at Irish with his infatuated eyes.
'My life is bound for this woman, but Joseph came in,' thought Leo to himself.

It felt like they had spent a long time together, but they had only known each other for one year. However, they went through many hardships this year.
Slowly, Irish walked to Joseph, who stood there waiting for her gently. When Steven finally put Irish's hands to Joseph, the days they spent together flashed before their eyes.
They met in the bar, and then Irish decided to work in Runestone Group, and since then, Joseph has remained her superior. As time went by, they got to know each other's identities. However, they also encountered many obstacles that made Irish run away from him. Luckily, they met again in the Light Town. It was hard for them to be with each other since they had gone through much gossip and torture because of the family mishap. Everything flashed clearly at the right moment, but Irish could feel Joseph's warm hands.
The wedding was not tedious, but when they read the wedding oath, Daisy handed a delicate box to Joseph. Confused, Irish was not clear about what he was going to do. However, Joseph took over the box, and then he got down on one knee. Stunned, Irish covered her mouth out of astonishment. The guests all cried out in surprise when Joseph opened the little box containing a diamond ring lying there. It was a bright-colored and dazzling one. Joseph took it out, looked into Irish's eyes, and said softly, "Irish, would you like to marry me?"
Irish stood there still, looking into Joseph's eyes, and couldn't utter a single word. Once before, she imagined that her Mr. Right would give a romantic marriage proposal just like the plot in the film. However, since she met Joseph, he barely said he loved her even once, so Irish always thought that he would never propose marriage to her.
Edified by what she saw and heard in daily life with Joseph, Irish could easily tell the quality of a diamond. The diamond ring presented in front of her eyes was dazzling under the spotlight while the ring was designed specially, similar to Autumn Flavor, the diamond ring he had presented to her before.
