Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 24

When I received Chris' call again, I was listening to a sermon at Celestial

Church.

"Maddie, it's almost 11 o'clock. Why aren't you here yet?" Chris sounded slightly urgent.

"I'm almost there. Just wait a bit longer." was late on purpose. I had loved him for ten years and couldn't even remember how many times I waited for him.

Today, I'd make him wait for me. Consider it a bit of interest in my ten years of youthful love.

"Hurry up. Don't miss the auspicious time that Mr. Xenos had mentioned," Chris urged me again.

At this moment, I was sitting in front of William. He hadn't mentioned anything about my marriage. That meant he had no idea that I was going to register with Chris today.

It was impossible for William to have calculated any auspicious time for it.

I hummed in agreement and hung up the phone. I then turned it off and continued listening to William's sermon.

Chris worshiped gods and deities now because when he was a child, he had a severe illness. Bree had gone up the mountain to pray to the gods for three days and three nights. After that, he had recovered. Since then, Bree had believed in gods and deities. She had even asked William

to take Chris on as his student.
