After dinner, the family gathered in the living room, nibbling on fruit and chatting.
Cole entered the house hand in hand with Phoebe.
When Micha spotted them, she weed them warmly. "Cole, Phoebe,e join us and grab some fruit."
Cole nodded politely and exchanged greetings with everyone before standing respectfully beside Nathan. His cheeks flushed slightly as he shyly said, "General Morrison, I need to talk to you about something.'' Nathan motioned toward the empty couch across from him. "Take a seat and let''s talk."
Cole held Phoebe''s hand as they settled onto the couch facing Nathan.
M smiled as she watched Phoebe''s shy demeanor, sensing that something wonderful was about to unfold. Anticipation filled her.
Cole cleared his throat nervously before saying, "General Morrison, Mrs. Morrison, we would like..."
Phoebe nced at him bashfully, silently encouraging him to speak his mind.
All eyes in the room were fixed on him, awaiting his words.
Cole stuttered, "W-We would like... We would like..."
His ears turned crimson, and his neck flushed, hinting at his growing embarrassment.
Unable to bear the tension any longer, Phoebe took charge. "We would like to have the wedding before Project 905 begins."
As soon as the words escaped her lips, M couldn''t contain her excitement. She sped her hand over her mouth, her eyes glistening with tears of joy. She was deeply moved and ted. Micha pped and cheered, "Amazing! This calls for a big celebration!"
With big smiles, Zach and Tristan joined in, saying, "Congrats to both of you!"
Cole grinned, his face glowing with excitement as he nced at Nathan.
"Why are you staring at me? You''re not marrying me. You don''t need my approval," Nathan joked.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
"Thanks, General Morrison." Cole couldn''t help butugh.
Nathan looked at them with envy, wishing he could also n his wedding with M alongside Cole and Phoebe, feeling a bit insecure otherwise.
"Will you invite us?" Nathan asked.
"Absolutely," Cole replied eagerly.
"Where''s the wedding going to be, and what''s it going to be like?" M asked with interest.
Phoebe beamed. "It''s happening in
Cole''s hometown, with a traditional Norvanian ceremony. There''ll be
drumming and traditionalne
Cole and I will be dressed in Norvanian wedding clothes. It''s going to be quite the celebration!"
Nathan asked, "Cole, have you sorted out a ce to live together? Do you need any—"
Cole cut him off, "It''s fine, General Morrison. I''ve already secured a ce for Phoebe and me in the city center. And it''s all paid for."
Nathan grinned knowingly, feeling happy for them.
M looked at Phoebe, her eyes shining with tears of happiness.
Phoebe''s life in Suntend had been tough from the start. Left by her parents when she was young, she spent her upbringing in an orphanage.
While education wascking, Phoebe did acquire remarkablebat abilities. Yet, in a society that didn''t value such skills in a woman, she encountered rejection at every turn, struggling to secure a job and a stable life. She always felt adrift without a true home.
Yet, upon meeting M, everything changed for Phoebe. She dered that anywhere M was, felt like home to her.
Atst, Phoebe found a ce to call her own. With a loving and devoted husband by her side, she blossomed from the neglected and lonely soul she once was.
Now, she had a sense of belonging and was no longer defined by the hardships of her past.
As tears streamed down M''s cheeks, she instinctively lowered her head to wipe them away.
Nathan wrapped his arms around her gently, his voice tender as he asked, "What''s wrong? Why are you crying?"
Seeing M cry, Phoebe couldn''t help but shed tears herself. She nervously said, "M, if me getting married so soon is bothering you, I can call it off."
Cole looked visibly distressed, his face pale as he anxiously shifted his gaze between M and Phoebe.
Mughed through her tears. She wiped them away and said, "Why would you even think that? These are tears of joy, not sorrow."
