Chapter 793
Lord Protector Novel
A beauty paired with an old disabled man. Zeke was sure no love was involved in the wedding.
Eleanor sighed, âSage looks the prettiest sheâs ever had today.â
Joshua agreed, âYes. What a pity... Forget it. As long as our daughter is happy, Iâm alright with it.â
Sage could be seen glancing at the door every once in a while with an anticipating look on her face.
However, the more she hoped, the more disappointed she was.
âWhy arenât Mom and Dad here yet?â Sage frowned.
Xander replied, âItâs about time for us to begin the wedding.â
âLetâs wait for a while longer,â Sage said, âMy parents arenât here yet.â
âWhy should we wait?â Xander huffed impatiently, âIf theyâre not here by now, it means the wedding isnât that important to them. If we delay this any longer, weâll cross the guests.â
âBut...â Sage was reluctant to move.
âNo âbutâs,â Xander threatened, âDo you still want to treat your father of his illness?â
Fear flashed past Sageâs eyes, and she relented.
Happy music played on Xanderâs order, and the host made his way up the stage.
After an introduction, the host shouted, âNow, let us welcome the bride and groom!â
Swish!
The spotlights turned toward the bride and groom.
The crowd turned to look at them.
The crowd turned to look at them.
The two were about to step on stage when Xander looked at Sageâs hair. He was upset. âWhy are you still wearing this damn clip? Iâve told you to take it off so many times.â
Sage quickly explained, âThis is our familyâs heirloom. Itâs a tradition. My grandmother handed this to my mother, and my mother handed it to me. I have to wear it on my wedding day.â
âI told you to take it off.â Anger flashed across Xanderâs eyes.
However, this time, Sage refused to give in to his orders.
In the end, she only infuriated Xander. In front of the entire crowd, he grabbed her hair and yanked the clip off before throwing it onto the ground.
âAh!â
Xanderâs actions had been too rough. He had hurt her.
F**k!
Sole Wolf subconsciously jumped to his feet and was about to grab his gun from its holster.
Sageâs parents had widened their eyes at the sight. Their tears began to fall.
Zeke swiftly placed his hand over Sole Wolfâs and commanded, âSit down. Remember what Iâve told you. Remember whatâs going on.â
Sole Wolf sat back down with reddened eyes and gritted teeth.
Xander and Sage walked onto the stage together.
Upon seeing them, everyone engaged in a discussion about the odd couple. They were either mocking the duo or expressing their pity.
âItâs a real-life version of Beauty and the Beast.â
âItâs such a waste for a beautiful woman like her to marry a useless man like Xander.â
âIf I knew a woman as pretty as she existed, I wouldâve gone for her long ago.â
âWe really canât underestimate the power of money.â
The host continued, âNow, let us welcome the groomâs mother onto the stage.â
âThe bride will serve the wine to the mother.â
Xanderâs father had passed away when he was younger. He now only had a mother, Hollie.
A woman dressed glamorously walked up the stage with a proud look.
She sat on the chair but did not even look at Sage in the eye. She was only side-eyeing her.
Sage served the wine glass and lowered her head. âMom, here.â
However, the older woman seemed unsatisfied. âWhat? You donât even know the procedures. Do I have to teach you this too? Get on your knees.â
âWhoa!â
A commotion broke out amongst the crowd.
This is too much!
Xanderâs mother is crossing the line.
No one asks their daughter-in-law to get on her knees on the day of her wedding.
Sheâs obviously looking down and picking on her!
