Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 48

Daniel rolled his eyes. “Silly girl! What are you talking about? What's wrong with Zeke smoking to release his stress?”

“It's what a man does to get rid of accumulated pressure! It's the same for drinking! Zeke, just forget about her! Join me!”

Lacey was irritated as she turned to Hannah instead. “Mom, look at dad! Hurry up and put their cigarettes out!”

However, her mother decided to take Daniel's side instead. “I think your father is right.”

“Daniel, why don't you go get some of your precious Yellow Crane Tower and share it with Zeke?”

“Zeke, please pay no heed to Lacey's words. She must have been spoiled by us back in the day.”

Lacey's parents finally realized how exceptional Zeke was after what happened today. Hence, their attitude changed as they finally learned how to cherish his presence.

Lacey was speechless at how her parents reacted.

Arghhhh! Mom! How can you betray me! You were the one who set the rules! You said no cigarettes allowed at home!

Lacey felt irritated as she sat aside on her own, ignoring the three of them.

Daniel returned with the Yellow Crane Tower he saved up for special occasions. He handed over a pack to Zeke.

“Zeke, Lacey and you aren't young anymore. Both of you should get married as soon as possible. I mean, you guys don't want us to worry about you guys, right?” Hannah urged them.

Zeke nodded. “Mm. Mom, that's what I have in mind as well. I know Lacey has always wanted a grand wedding ceremony.”

“Hence, I wish to hold a grand wedding ceremony at a grand hall that can accommodate at least ten thousand guests.”

“Do you think you're organizing a concert? A grand hall that can accommodate ten thousand guests? I don't think such a venue exists in Oakheart City,” Lacey mocked her husband.

Zeke replied nonchalantly. “Are you sure? If that's the case, I'll build one myself!”

“Haha,” Lacey replied in a contemptuous manner.

Zeke felt speechless all of a sudden because he couldn't figure out what his wife meant with that contemptuous reply.

Are you looking down on me? Hmph! We shall see! I will impress you and take you by surprise once I'm done building it!

Daniel and Hannah decided to call it a day and returned to their room after the TV session they had together.

Lacey glared at Zeke with an irritated expression on her face. “Hmph! Don't you dare to take advantage of my parents just because they're on your side! I will not allow you to have it your way!”

“If you go against my words again in the future, I... Get ready to spend the rest of your life on the couch!”

Lacey returned to her room angrily right after she finished her sentence.

Zeke heaved a long sigh as he looked in the direction of Lacey's room.

Meanwhile, Daniel and Hannah saw Zeke sleeping on the couch through the peephole of their bedroom door.

Daniel broke the silence. “Sigh, Lacey went overboard again. How will she conceive if they aren't sleeping together?”

Suddenly, Hannah suggested. “We should give Zeke a hand, right?”

Daniel asked curiously, “What should we do?”

Hannah reached for the pillow and handed it over to Daniel.

Daniel finally figured out what Hannah was up to and gave her a thumbs up. “My dear, you're so smart!”

Hannah urged, “Stop talking and let's get going already!”

She pushed Daniel out of their room with all her might and scolded him. “Daniel, how dare you keep me in the dark about your fortune? Go spend the night on the couch!”

Daniel shouted in return, “Fine! Do you really think I wish to spend the night by your side?”

The irritated man held on to the pillow he had with him and walked towards the couch. “Zeke, why don't you join Lacey in her room? I have to spend the night here.”

Zeke was speechless because he saw right through their plan.

Seriously? That's such a horrible act coming from them. It seems like they're going all out to play matchmaker with us.

Zeke nodded immediately. “Alright, dad.”

He decided to grab the opportunity they had created for him instead of wasting it like a fool.

Zeke held on to his pillow and stood in front of Lacey's room. His hand trembled as he tried to knock on her door.

Zeke got worked up all of a sudden because he didn't expect happiness to arrive so soon.
