Chapter 129: That Moment
"No! Stop!" Gloria blocked Beth who followed Marcella in.
"Why? It would be fun," Beth pouted cutely.
Gloria was stunned. Pretty women do have an advantage. If she, a woman, could get moved by beauty, how much would red-blooded men be?
"No," Gloria stood by her resolution and closed the door. She might have joked with Marcella but she was not going to intrude on a private moment between a couple.
Marcella cleared her throat. "Tony..." she called for him. Her heart was pounding out of excitement and her voice broke.
"Birdie..."
Although she couldn’t see his face, she could hear the happiness in his voice. She wanted to see his expression when he looked at her; she fought her instinct to look down.
He turned to face her. There was a smile on his face. She thought he would go to her and...say something, do something. But he stood there frozen.
Tony was nervous after Gloria came to tell him that Marcella wanted to see him before the party. She made it seem like it was something serious. For a moment, he was taken back to the day he was told that she had run away from home because she didn’t want to wedding. He had a drink or two to calm his nerves and remembered that they were married and she was in love with him.
When he heard her call his name, his heart jumped in glee. When he saw there standing with a veil though...
His heart skipped a beat. She dismissed his wish to see her in a veil pretty fast when he talked to her about it. He didn’t talk to her about it after that although he wanted to see her in a veil. He didn’t think that she would grant her wish.
And boy, did she look perfect! She was more beautiful than he’d ever seen her.
