Chapter 7

A while later, both Adam and Belle pulled away from the kiss.

Belle stood back, feeling a little shy and embarrassed.

Adam cast a meaningful glance at her and then at the priest with a sneer. “Will that do?”

“Y–Yes, that’ll do,” the priest stammered.

Charlie, after giving a glance to the displeased Penelope, slowly stood up.

Because of the Miller family’s antics, he hadn’t been too fond of Belle at first.

However, in just half an hour, Belle had completely changed his view of her.

He now accepted her as his granddaughter–in–law.

“The ceremony is over. Next, please join us at the Landor residence for the wedding banquet,” Charlie said with a smile.

The guests responded in a hurry.

The Landor family’s wedding banquet was obviously going to be extremely extravagant.

For the attendees, it was going to be a delightful experience.

However, for the newlyweds, such grandeur only meant one thing–exhaustion.

Belle, standing in her high heels, gritted her teeth.

She had been standing in the church for quite some time, and now she had to continue to stand and greet the guests.

Her feet were aching, but she couldn’t show any signs of discomfort.

Adam glanced at Belle and suddenly asked, “What is your shoe size?”

Belle instinctively replied with a number.

Adam nodded and gestured at a servant. “Go and fetch a pair of flat shoes her size.”

The servant left quickly as receiving Adam’s order.

Belle blinked and gave Adam a puzzled look.

If her thoughts were correct, Adam was getting her a pair of shoes.

She hurriedly said, “No need. I can manage. I—”

Adam interrupted her coldly. “If you trip and fall, it would be even more of an embarrassment.” Adam’s tone was rather harsh. This caused to Belle shrink back, not daring to say another word.
