Chapter 2513: Chapter 219: A Touching Vow
As the two looked into each other’s eyes and kissed deeply, a slightly awkward voice sounded.
"Ahem... Groom, do you, will you take care of your bride, love her, no matter sickness or health, rich or poor, love her all your life, cherish her, and adore her. Do you, have you heard me, groom? Cesare Redington, Sir?"
The red-robed archbishop who had specially come from Europe to officiate the wedding had a face full of awkwardness.
This was the first time at a wedding he had been completely ignored by the newlyweds.
It was known that only European aristocrats can invite him to officiate.
But the heir of the Reddington family was the first who had embraced the bride and kissed her before he finished speaking.
When Leslie Howard heard the bishop’s voice, she suddenly realized.
She quickly nudged David Redington, reminding him.
And the man, who was already deeply immersed in the kiss, then reluctantly let go of his wife.
David was neither embarrassed nor in a hurry; instead, he gently kissed Leslie’s forehead before raising his eyes to look at the archbishop standing on the ceremonial stage.
Receiving David’s cool gaze, the archbishop quickly opened his mouth and asked, "Cesare Redington, Sir, will you take care of your bride, love her, no matter sickness or health, rich or poor, love her all your life, cherish her, and adore her?"
"Love her, cherish her, adore her," this vow was completely different from ordinary wedding vows.
This was specially altered by David, his promise to Leslie Howard.
David: "I do."
The man’s voice was clear and pleasant, deep and magnetic, and most importantly — David’s attitude and voice were solemn and cherished.
Anyone could tell he was not just going through the motions, he loved Leslie Howard, deeply.
Bishop: "And what about you, bride. Will you love your husband, as long as he is worthy of your love, will you always be by his side?"
What kind of vow is this?
Leslie Howard was slightly stunned, even the guests watching the ceremony were puzzled.
What does it mean, ’if he is worthy of your love, will you always be by his side’?
Leslie’s delicate arms wrapped around David’s neck, she raised her beautiful eyes, looking at her husband in confusion.
David lowered his gaze, looking at the woman in his arms who was about to become his wife, his thin lips leaving a kiss at the corner of her lips.
The man’s deep and gentle voice carried a hint of persuasive meaning: "You love me, must be based on my love and goodness to you. I cannot unconditionally demand that you always love me; if one day I am not good enough, then I’m not qualified to receive your love. Leslie, I will always love you, cherish you, adore you. If I’m unable to do so, please don’t hesitate to discard me."
David was certain he would love the woman in front of him with his life.
He would never give her the opportunity to discard him.
But even with such confidence, he still needed to arrange everything for her.
While he’s here, he’ll cherish and adore her.
But if one day he’s no longer around, if he leaves this world first, his Leslie must forget him and live a happier life in another way.
This, David did not tell Leslie.
But he’s always been someone who plans far ahead, having already arranged many things for Leslie.
In this lifetime, they walk hand in hand, walking with her.
Yet the world is full of unpredictable events; if in this lifetime they walk to the end, and he can’t always hold her hand.
Giving her the best arrangements, giving her freedom, is the last thing he can do for her.
"Silly, with your baby in my belly how could I possibly discard you," Leslie didn’t know that David had already arranged everything for her, arranged the future path.
Thinking of her, no matter what the future holds, he ensures she can be at ease.
The woman just held her husband tightly, saying emotionally, "I won’t discard you, never in this lifetime..."
