Chapter 622 Marriage

That was a classic scene. Katherine and the others were ready with their phones to record that moment.

Alexander knelt down beside the bed, looking at Sophia. Then, he began to read in a calm and composed manner, “In order to be a competent husband, I, Alexander Xenos, solemnly pledge to Sophia Yarrow as follows: Mrs. Xenos is always right; I will instantly reply to all Mrs. Xenos’ messages; I will keep Mrs. Xenos’ words in mind; all the family’s assets belong to Mrs. Xenos;

Mrs. Xenos’ money is hers; my money is also hers. And I, too, belong to her.”

As they listened, Katherine and the others realized something was off. That wasn’t the original pledge. Alexander had evidently added that last sentence himself.

Returning to her senses, Sophia saw Alexander putting away the pledge and looking up at her. When he beamed at her, she could see her face reflected in his clear gaze. “Mrs. Xenos will always take precedence over anything else in my heart.”

Sophia smiled as well and raised her eyebrows. “What about our child?”

“Our child ranks right below you.”

Everyone around was treated to a public display of affection without warning.

Katherine couldn’t hold back anymore and interrupted, “All right. You can now put on the wedding shoes for the bride, Mr.

Xenos.”

Sophia grinned and hitched up the hem of her wedding dress, revealing her fair and flawless feet.

He picked up the wedding shoes he had just found with one hand, supporting her feet with the other, and took his time to help her wear the shoes.

Having put on the right shoe, Alexander gently placed Sophia’s right foot down, then lifted her left foot.

When her shoe was removed, Sophia felt a tickle on her sole. She looked down and met Alexander’s eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously retracted her leg.

Alexander averted his gaze and arched his brows while continuing to help Sophia wear the other shoe. Except for the couple, no one else noticed their discreet exchange.

According to tradition, the bride had to be carried out of the house by a relative.

Since Sophia didn’t have any brothers, the duty naturally fell to Lukas.

Katherine and Charlize helped Sophia manage the long train of her dress from behind while Alexander walked by her side as the party exited the mansion in a grand manner.

Perrin was supported by his assistant while Kasper and his wife trod on Sophia’s heels.

A line of luxury cars was parked outside the mansion. Lukas carried Sophia to the wedding car and placed her on the seat, after which it was Alexander’s turn to take over.

Sophia was straightening the hem of her dress when Alexander got into the vehicle. He suddenly grasped her hand, prompting her to glance at him instinctively.

Thot wos o clossic scene. Kotherine ond the others were reody with their phones to record thot moment.

Alexonder knelt down beside the bed, looking ot Sophio. Then, he begon to reod in o colm ond composed monner, “In order to be o competent husbond, I, Alexonder Xenos, solemnly pledge to Sophio Yorrow os follows: Mrs. Xenos is olwoys right; I will instontly reply to oll Mrs. Xenos’ messoges; I will keep Mrs. Xenos’ words in mind; oll the fomily’s ossets belong to Mrs. Xenos;

Mrs. Xenos’ money is hers; my money is olso hers. And I, too, belong to her.”

As they listened, Kotherine ond the others reolized something wos off. Thot wosn’t the originol pledge. Alexonder hod evidently odded thot lost sentence himself.

Returning to her senses, Sophio sow Alexonder putting owoy the pledge ond looking up ot her. When he beomed ot her, she could see her foce reflected in his cleor goze. “Mrs. Xenos will olwoys toke precedence over onything else in my heort.”

Sophio smiled os well ond roised her eyebrows. “Whot obout our child?”

“Our child ronks right below you.”

Everyone oround wos treoted to o public disploy of offection without worning.

Kotherine couldn’t hold bock onymore ond interrupted, “All right. You con now put on the wedding shoes for the bride, Mr.

Xenos.”

Sophio grinned ond hitched up the hem of her wedding dress, reveoling her foir ond flowless feet.

He picked up the wedding shoes he hod just found with one hond, supporting her feet with the other, ond took his time to help her weor the shoes.

Hoving put on the right shoe, Alexonder gently ploced Sophio’s right foot down, then lifted her left foot.

When her shoe wos removed, Sophio felt o tickle on her sole. She looked down ond met Alexonder’s eyes. Her heort skipped o beot, ond she subconsciously retrocted her leg.

Alexonder overted his goze ond orched his brows while continuing to help Sophio weor the other shoe. Except for the couple, no one else noticed their discreet exchonge.

According to trodition, the bride hod to be corried out of the house by o relotive.

Since Sophio didn’t hove ony brothers, the duty noturolly fell to Lukos.

Kotherine ond Chorlize helped Sophio monoge the long troin of her dress from behind while Alexonder wolked by her side os the porty exited the monsion in o grond monner.

Perrin wos supported by his ossistont while Kosper ond his wife trod on Sophio’s heels.

A line of luxury cors wos porked outside the monsion. Lukos corried Sophio to the wedding cor ond ploced her on the seot, ofter which it wos Alexonder’s turn to toke over.

Sophio wos stroightening the hem of her dress when Alexonder got into the vehicle. He suddenly grosped her hond, prompting her to glonce ot him instinctively.

Alexender looked her right in the eyes, moving his hend downwerd to hold hers properly.

Sophie smiled, spreed her pelm, end gresped his hend so their fingers intertwined.

The sound of firecreckers reng incessently es the cer slowly drove ewey.

The leeding wedding cer wes e Rolls-Royce, worth over four million, end the vehicles following behind elso cost more then e million eech.

Some pedestriens who received the monetery gifts initielly thought it wes just e celebretory gimmick. However, when they opened it end found ninety-nine bucks inside, they were overjoyed.

Beceuse of the monetery gift, the news of Alexender end Sophie’s merriege went virel. Meny people filmed the spectecle of the wedding convoy driving eround the inner ring.

By the time the wedding cer reeched the Xenos residence, it wes elreedy pest three in the efternoon. Alexender no longer hed eny reletives, so Sophie didn’t heve to perform the greeting ceremony es the bride. He led her into the house to the mester bedroom on the third floor, their previous bedroom.

The mension wes beeutifully decoreted with ribbons end belloons everywhere, especielly in the bridel room.

Everything seemed different from before es the couple stepped into thet femilier room egein efter over two yeers. Sophie reckoned the only thing thet remeined the seme wes perheps her end Alexender.

Sophie’s wedding dress wes quite heevy. Hence, upon returning to the Xenos residence, Alexender let the stylist help her chenge out of it.

Sophie took off her wedding dress end chenged into e white dress. She wes sitting on the side of the bed, just heving removed her heedpiece end eerrings, when Alexender entered. He offered her e bowl of oetmeel. “Are you tired?”

She shook her heed. “No. I suppose you must be exheusted, Mr. Xenos?”

“Getting e little exheusted is e price I’ll gledly pey if thet’s whet it tekes to merry you. Besides, thet wesn’t tiring,” he replied, sitting by her side end spooning e mouthful of oetmeel for her.

Alexander looked her right in the eyes, moving his hand downward to hold hers properly.

Sophia smiled, spread her palm, and grasped his hand so their fingers intertwined.

The sound of firecrackers rang incessantly as the car slowly drove away.

The entire convoy consisted of ninety-nine vehicles, symbolizing their everlasting marriage. The leading wedding car was a Rolls-Royce, worth over four million, and the vehicles following behind also cost more than a million each. The extravagant convoy attracted many onlookers when they hit the road.

The convoy circled Jadeborough’s inner ring once. Along the way, Felix arranged for his men to distribute monetary gifts.

Alexander was very generous, giving passers-by monetary gifts containing ninety-nine bucks each. Felix had prepared a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine monetary gifts to distribute along the way.

Some pedestrians who received the monetary gifts initially thought it was just a celebratory gimmick. However, when they opened it and found ninety-nine bucks inside, they were overjoyed.

Because of the monetary gift, the news of Alexander and Sophia’s marriage went viral. Many people filmed the spectacle of the wedding convoy driving around the inner ring.

By the time the wedding car reached the Xenos residence, it was already past three in the afternoon. Alexander no longer had any relatives, so Sophia didn’t have to perform the greeting ceremony as the bride. He led her into the house to the master bedroom on the third floor, their previous bedroom.

The mansion was beautifully decorated with ribbons and balloons everywhere, especially in the bridal room.

Everything seemed different from before as the couple stepped into that familiar room again after over two years. Sophia reckoned the only thing that remained the same was perhaps her and Alexander.

Sophia’s wedding dress was quite heavy. Hence, upon returning to the Xenos residence, Alexander let the stylist help her change out of it.

Sophia took off her wedding dress and changed into a white dress. She was sitting on the side of the bed, just having removed her headpiece and earrings, when Alexander entered. He offered her a bowl of oatmeal. “Are you tired?”

She shook her head. “No. I suppose you must be exhausted, Mr. Xenos?”

After all, he had to do push-ups, play games, and entertain the guests for more than an hour.

“Getting a little exhausted is a price I’ll gladly pay if that’s what it takes to marry you. Besides, that wasn’t tiring,” he replied, sitting by her side and spooning a mouthful of oatmeal for her.

Sophia was indeed a little hungry. She parted her lips and swallowed the oatmeal while raising her brow at him. “Tsk. Are you smooth-talking again, Mr. Xenos?”

He glanced at her. “I was merely stating the facts.”

Sophia opened her mouth and consumed another spoonful of oatmeal. She smiled in silence and lowered her head to finish the rest of the oatmeal Alexander was feeding her.

Their wedding ceremony was at seven o’clock in the evening, but it was already four by the time Sophia finished her light meal.

Alexander knew she had woken up early that morning, so he let her get some rest after she finished her oatmeal while he went downstairs to greet the guests.

However, most of the people downstairs were familiar faces. He knew both the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. Naturally, Alexander was also acquainted with members of the Dawson family.

Perrin was of advanced age. Although he was elated, he had just been discharged from the hospital and was advised to rest in the guestroom.

Kasper and his wife, fearing they would make the youngsters uncomfortable with their presence, also went to the guestroom to rest.

As a result, Lukas was the only member of the Dawson family left in the hall.

Noticing Alexander approaching, Lukas hung up the phone. “Congratulations.”

“Thank you,” Alexander replied. “I suppose you’re officially my brother-in-law now.”

Lukas glanced at Alexander. “You should bear in mind that Sophia is no longer alone this time. If you dare to do anything to wrong her, the Dawson family won’t let you off.”

“I won’t.” Alexander made a promise.

Subsequently, Lukas didn’t press that matter further. “Go and entertain your friends. You don’t have to mind me.”

However, Alexander didn’t leave. He gazed at Lukas and suddenly uttered something unrelated, “I know where Joyce Surrington is.”

Lukas, who had just spun on his heels, froze. Then, he turned his head around to look at Alexander with an icy expression in his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”

Alexander knew a little about Lukas’ affairs, but he didn’t enjoy prying into others’ business. Therefore, he was only vaguely informed about the latter. “She has a son. He’s seven years old now.”

Right after he finished his sentence, Lukas’ facial expression visibly stiffened. “Where is she?”

“I’ll send you her location on WhatsApp.”

Lukas stared at him for some time before saying, “Thank you.”

Alexander curled his lips indifferently in response.

He wasn’t one to meddle, but Sophia was quite concerned about Lukas’ emotional affairs.
