Chapter 180: Giving Up And Standing Firm
Marcella faced Tony as they lay on the bed. He didn’t give her any answer regarding her cousin’s wedding. She figured that he wouldn’t be able to come. She preferred he would come. It’s respectful for her to attend the wedding with her husband than without him.
She didn’t tell him that though. She had promised him that she would try her best for him. Also, it might not be a big deal if he didn’t come. It’s her family’s function and he might feel left out.
But it would be a perfect chance for everyone to get to know each other!
No matter what excuses she came up with, she ended up wishing for him to come to the wedding. Maybe she was thinking too much. He might need some time to decide. The wedding was in the spring after all!
"Not tired?" she asked as he stared at her.
"No," he pulled her closer and hugged her. Tony was waiting for something. He wanted to get her in the mood. She looked like she wanted to fall asleep.
As for the wedding, he didn’t have any desire to go. He needed to handle a lot. Maybe in her absence, he can weed out the pests by their garden to protect his home. Her absence would be a boon for him to settle everything here.
"Do you want to stay in Italy for a while? I heard weddings there could be a festival," he asked.
Marcella hummed. "Maybe we can take the scenic route. A cruise to cross the ocean, and a train ride across Europe. We can visit the Scottish Highlands, the castles in England, Versailles..."
She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. "It’s such a shame. I have all the money and yet I haven’t left the state for a long time... It shouldn’t be like this."
She said all these words in an attempt to let him know that she wanted him to come with her.
"Should I book a cruise for you?" Tony asked.
