Chapter 16: Electric Jolt
Last night Yera was unable to sleep properly. For some reason, she was feeling uneasy...
Today, Yera and Xander would register their marriage.
She sat down on her bed and stared at Bernard’s framed photograph on her bedside table and murmured, "Do you think I made the right choice?"
Yera drew out a long air from her lungs before she got up and did her stretching routines. She then looked at her luggage. Everything was already packed and ready to go. Soon after they registered their marriage, she would move into Yang’s ancestral mansion.
She hurriedly readied herself because she knew Xander would definitely come to pick her up early. After almost an hour, Yera heard the doorbell. And as she had expected, it was Xander’s smiling face greeting her through the video intercom.
"Morning, darling..." Xander greeted her as soon as she opened the door for him. He waltzed into her apartment casually. "Where are your things? I’ll carry them," he asked as he looked around the room before spotting her luggage.
Yera watched him carry her luggage and offered his hand to her. "Let’s go," he said. Yera’s eyebrow raised as she retorted, "What? What do I need your hand for? I can walk by myself. I will follow you."
Xander chuckled as he retrieved his hand back and said, "Oh, well, I just thought we should start practicing acting sweet, so it will look more natural later when we meet dad. Like holding hands, you know."
Yera sighed. She understood his point, so even though she was still reluctant, she still conceded, "Alright." She offered her hand, which Xander eagerly took and clasped tightly with his hand.
