His mother felt that he lacked emotions more than Mason, and that it was due to the five years she was not with him.
But he didnât think there was anything wrong with his personality or psychology.
After the welcoming ceremony, Mick finally had some time to rest and walked to the hotelâs backyard.
Today, because of his younger brotherâs wedding, the hotel was exceptionally lively, but the backyard was relatively quiet, which allowed his ears to rest.
Leaning against the corner wall, he looked up and could see the sky through the huge transparent glass above the courtyard.
A wedding⦠itâs really tiring.
From now on, a man and a woman will build their own family.
The love of parents and the commitment to marriage have never made him take marriage lightly.
If that person is not the one he will love for life, then he will not easily get married!
Mason and Jasper, the people they love, grew up with them since childhood. Their love was a long-
lasting one, and everything seemed to fall into place naturally.
On the other hand, Mick didnât have any special childhood friends. Even if he wanted to find one now, heâs too old for that.
Thinking about this, Mick couldnât help but laugh.
What was he thinking about, childhood friends? Did he really need one?
Just like love, some people need it, but it doesnât mean everyone does.
Even if someone never falls in love in their lifetime, does that mean they will have a regretful life?
Suddenly, a crisp slap interrupted Mickâs thoughts in the courtyard.
He turned his head and saw two girls at the entrance of the courtyard. One of the girls had a red mark on her face, obviously the one who was slapped.
The other girl had her back to him and was cursing, âYou have no shame, following your mother here. I warned you not to come! Can you even attend this wedding today?!â
âMy dad asked me to come,â the girl who was slapped said softly.
âShut up! You have no right to call me dad. Youâre just a burden brought by your mother! You better leave now. If you show up at the wedding banquet, youâll only embarrass my family!â the girl who slapped her shouted.
Mick raised an eyebrow. Wedding⦠as far as he knew, there was only one wedding being held at the hotel today- the Reed familyâs wedding.
Were these two girls also guests attending the banquet?
Suddenly, Mick was startled because the girl who was slapped was looking at him through the girl who was standing in front of her.
This girl saw him!
The two locked eyes, but the girlâs gaze only showed a moment of surprise before returning to normal.
She didnât look at him again, but instead lowered her eyes and said, âFine, I wonât attend the wedding banquet. But you should apologize for slapping me.â
âApologize? You want me to apologize to you? Who do you think you are?â the other person said angrily.
âThen should I go to the wedding with this swollen face? What will everyone think? It will only be more embarrassing. I can handle the embarrassment, but can you?â
The other person glared at her fiercely, almost stomping their feet in anger.
But the girl who was slapped just stood there quietly, like a
