Chapter 253: His Speech
"Welcome out President-elect Antony Crawford and his family!!!"
The anchor announced amidst the loud cheer of the thousands that had gathered in the bid arena.
Holding Marcella’s hand, Tony entered the big stage, waving.
Blue, white, and red confetti danced its way down and balloons flew high up in the sky. Marcella squinted her eyes at the powerful lights on them.
Although she was used to similar stages, she knew this was far more different. She was now the First Lady!
She made sure her children were comfortable and stood to the side as Tony made his speech. She watched the crowd go wild for Tony. They loved and respected him.
She was proud to call herself his wife. The man everyone admired was her husband. How lucky was she?
She laughed and joined him as he included her in his speech. He waved his hand asking her to stand closer to him. Marcella walked to him.
"My beloved wife, without whom I won’t be the man I am today," Tony said. "My strength and my peace. My rock and my resting place. Marrying her was the best thing I did."
Marcella’s eyes clouded. It was one thing he said to her, but to confess the same in front of an entire nation...
How lucky am I?
Tony wanted to let her speak, but seeing that she was emotional, he scrapped that idea. Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he pulled her closer and kissed her. "Love you, Birdie."
