Gavin looked at Wendy for a moment and finally said-

"Wendy, you're braver than me."

...

Wendy blinked her eyes, and her heart was filled with doubts-

Why did Gavin say that? She didn't have such a feeling!

Gavin saw the confusion in Wendy's eyes, and the smile on his lips became a little helpless. He explained, "Wendy, if I hadn't found out that you also wanted to get married, I might never mention the word 'marry' to you before the operation, let alone ask Joanne to prepare for our wedding. Wendy, I'm afraid..."

Gavin didn't continue, but Wendy had already known what he was afraid of.

He was afraid that the operation would fail.

Once the operation failed, Gavin would pass away. He would no longer be able to take care of her.

Gavin felt it was very irresponsible to marry her when he knew the risk was great.

Gavin would never do such a thing.

That was why he said that if she hadn't asked Joanne to plan for the wedding, he would never have mentioned the word "marry" to her before the operation.

Gavin grew up in a complicated environment and he seemed to be wearing armor to protect himself after years of experience. There should be few things in this world that he was afraid of.

Because of her, Gavin became so prudent and cautious.

Wendy didn't know why, but suddenly, she wanted somehow... to cry.

However, she couldn't really cry on such an important day.

In the end, Wendy laughed out loud while sobbing. She looked at Gavin with shining eyes. "You changed your mind because I had taken action, didn't you?"

Gavin was not affectedly bashful. He admitted it straightforwardly. "It's indeed because of you."

...

Wendy inexplicably had a sense of accomplishment. She stood on tiptoe and pursed her lips. Her eyes were smiling.

A few petty actions had completely revealed the excitement and joy in her heart.

Gavin's eyes slowly became gentle, and his voice became softer and softer. He continued, "Wendy, it wasn't until I found out what you were thinking and confirmed from Joanne that you really wanted to marry me that I suddenly realized-

"Since you're not afraid, why should I have fear?

"When we started dating, I asked you to propose to me because I was afraid that my illness would worsen. How can I let you be responsible for the wedding?"

Gavin didn't say anything hypocritical. It was indeed Wendy who had encouraged him.

If it weren't for Wendy, it was very likely that Gavin still hadn't proposed to her, not to mention holding a wedding.

Since Wendy was fearless, he had the courage to give it a try.

Therefore, after finding out that Wendy wanted to get married, he didn't try to make her give up the idea. Instead, he wanted to give her a surprise.

The wedding suddenly became a little different from what Wendy had imagined.

Wendy had always thought that Joanne would make all the preparations according to the former's wishes and everyone was trying to hide it from Gavin.

In the end, everyone tried to hide it from Wendy. Gavin suddenly appeared and spoke her lines, telling her that he wanted to marry her.

Wendy didn't know why she suddenly wanted to cry.

Gavin noticed that Wendy's eyes had begun to turn red, but he didn't intend to stop. He went on looking at her affectionately and said word by word, "Wendy, let's get married."

"Let's get married." There was not a rule stipulating that this sentence should be uttered by a man or a woman.

However, it was unlikely that a man who loved a woman would let her take the initiative to bring up the issue of marriage unless he had never thought of spending the rest of his life with her.

Gavin didn't really understand that.

He just felt that he should be the one to be responsible for the wedding. Wendy could just wait to be a bride.

Because of his illness, he could only leave the wedding to Joanne.

Even so, he still should say to Wendy before the wedding-"Let's get married".

Wendy felt as if she had been hit in the heart by a gentle stream. She looked at Gavin and covered her mouth. More tears were welling in her eyes.

After a while, she nodded hard. "Okay!"

Although he had expected that Wendy would not refuse him, Gavin couldn't help smiling seeing her nod and agree. There was obvious happiness and satisfaction in his smile.

Carefully holding Wendy's face, he lowered his head slightly and kissed Wendy on the forehead.

Wendy was actually very familiar with Gavin's touch, but she still had an impulse to cry. Something rushed into her heart. She quickly closed her eyes and threw herself into Gavin's arms.

Gavin took the opportunity to hold Wendy in his arms. He didn't have to think too much and soon understood why she was so excited.

The little girl was so easy to satisfy. He just gave her a surprise instead of being surprised, but she wanted to cry.

How nice should he be to such a girl in the future in order to protect her heart that was easy to satisfy?

"Wendy, don't cry." Gavin whispered in Wendy's ear, "You are very beautiful today. Your makeup will be ruined if you cry."

Wendy pursed her lips and pretended to be angry. She punched Gavin in the chest and glared at him. "Do you mean that I won't look good if my makeup is ruined?"

Gavin raised his eyebrows and corrected her. "I mean, don't ruin your makeup which you put on with great effort."

Wendy snorted and looked at Gavin. "Your explanation... is passable!"

Gavin smiled. If someone paid attention to Gavin, he would definitely notice that Gavin's eyes had never left Wendy.

Gavin didn't tell Wendy that she was really beautiful on that day.

In Gavin's memory, Wendy had always been good-looking, but she was beautiful without being aware of it. She always looked careless, misleading other people. That was why he ignored her beauty.

Today, the makeup artist carefully beautified her perfect face with cosmetics so that it was noticed by other people-

Gavin suddenly found that his little girl could be as stunningly beautiful as Freya.

For a moment, in Gavin's eyes, Wendy was comparable to a superstar in a bright halo...

Since Gavin came in, Joanne had been a qualified bystander who did not say a word.

While watching them, Joanne suddenly realized that Gavin and Wendy might go on making out without stopping.

If she didn't stop them, the wedding would inevitably be delayed.

Thinking of this, Joanne forced herself to cough and interrupted them. "Gavin, Wendy, you will have plenty of time to talk to each other in the future. Now, we need to send you to the church according to the normal wedding procedure."

"I see!" Wendy was grinning when she looked at Joanne. "Joanne, Gavin has come to pick me up. I can leave the room, right?"

Joanne didn't expect that Wendy still remembered this. After thinking for half a second, she said seriously, "Wendy, you are so anxious to leave that people will misunderstand you. They will feel that you can't wait to leave your parents' house..."

Wendy pursed her lips, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were full of innocence. "Joanne, I really can't wait to..."

...

Joanne was totally speechless-

She only wanted to ask if there was a second girl in the world who was as straightforward as Wendy.

Freya seemed to be deep in thought from the beginning. When she saw this, she came over and nudged Joanne in the arm. Freya whispered, "You have begun to jerk them around. Why don't you continue to make it up?"

At this time, Gavin also realized what Wendy had said. He looked at her in confusion and said, "What do you mean by saying that you can leave the room when I'm here? If I don't come, can't you go out?"

Wendy nodded and still looked innocent. "My cousin said so!"

Gavin looked at Joanne and soon understood-this was an excuse that Joanne had made up in order to keep Wendy in the room.

Just now, Dolly called him. Later, Joanne told him on the phone that if he didn't come soon, they wouldn't be able to handle Wendy.

At that time, Wendy must be trying to go out. Joanne had no choice but to think of such an excuse to successfully keep Wendy in the room.

Should he nail Joanne's lie?

Joanne inadvertently saw Gavin's expression and vaguely guessed Gavin's plan. She reacted faster than Gavin. To catch him off guard, she said, "OK, Gavin, you can go out carrying Wendy in your arms."

This time, not only Wendy, but also Gavin, who had been called out, was unable to react. Both of them looked at Joanne in a daze.

In order not to be blamed, Joanne had to cheat others first. She explained seriously, "According to the rules of Arlington, after the groom arrives at the bride's mother's house, he has to go out of the house and get in the car while carrying the bride in his arms. It means that he will cherish and love his bride for the rest of his life!"

The excuse was not novel at all.

However, it was because of that strong traditional feeling that Wendy, a person who was not familiar with the tradition of Arlington, could be jerked around.

Wendy thought for a moment and vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen a similar scene in TV series-when a couple got married, the groom came to the bride's house and indeed went out of the door with the bride in his arms.

She had never thought that she could experience this kind of tradition!

Wendy looked at Gavin eagerly, and her eyes were full of joy. "Carry me in your arms!"

Gavin had intended to nail Joanne's lie and tell Wendy the truth.

However, when he saw Wendy's look, he completely gave up that idea.

Since Wendy was interested, he could just cooperate with her.

After the wedding, he would tell Wendy that this was just a temporary farce brought about by Joanne.

When Wendy knew the truth, the expression on her face must be very interesting...
