Stephen steps and uplifts the veil. Eva was so nervous that she didn’t dare to look at him, so he held her chin up and Eva noticed his face near her
She closed her eyes, and soon she felt a hold on her waist and his warm lips kissed on the corner of her mouth just for a second or two and then he stood beside her, holding her by her waist
Eva was stunned to see his behavior. She expected he would kiss her passionately after all hishad come true today.
Stephen lost his heart one more time to the girl whose one smile bring a glow in his world
He didn’t realize when he felt tears in his eyes when he saw her walking towards him in the beautiful gown.
He has to blink his eyes to hold back the tears. The moment he felt her soft hand in, he gave an assuring nod at Michael, as he is the one who is trusting him with his precious daughter.
The moment the priest announced then husband and wife, he felt his world complete
But he noticed how Eva glanced at Michael before answering the priest and that he hated the most.
He never wanted her to marry him only for his dad’s satisfaction, whereas he wished her to marry him with her own will. Not under any pressure. Stephen wished things could change soon between them and Eva will feel the same love for him
When he reached near her to kiss her, he felt her body going stiff. He just lifted the veil and placed a small kiss at the corner of his lips. He didn’t want to force his desires on her. Truth be told, Stephen was confident in himself that he would make her beg for him soon.
Soon the families reached them to congratulate, and that was followed by a wedding photoshoot. All the time, Eva felt his hand around her waist as he was keeping her close
Soon the people started enjoying the food, and soft music started. Eva was observing the relatives who were glancing at them now and then. Some were looking at her with a jealous gaze.
Eva was busy greeting the guests when
She was stunned by an announcement. It was Richard who was busy in declaring
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the newlywed couple Mr Stephen smith and Mrs Eva Stephen smith for the first dance
Eva gasped, whereas a wide smile spread on Stephen‘s face by listening to her name
Mrs Eva Stephen smith
Chapter 48: Honeymoon
Stephen and Eva stepped up on the podium, and the guests and family members welcomed them with applause.
Stephen forwarded his hand, and Eva put her icy hand in his warm one. Stephen pulled her close and slipped his hand on her waist, whereas Eva kept her other hand on his shoulder.
‘ So ready, Mrs. Smith."
Eva gaped at him for the new name. She gave a nod at him. Soon they started moving on the floor, their steps slowly moving in sync.
It was a slow dance, and Eva kept her gaze down as she could feel his constant stare at her.
“Remember our first dance together?” God, you were so nervous; despite that, you never missed a beat. ‘
Stephen tried to have a conversation with his wife.
Eva again bobbed her head up and down.
Stephen sighed as he wanted to hear her voice her thoughts, but she was behaving like she was not interested in talking with him
His plan was to go with her later. Soon the music ended, and the surrounding people cheered for them.
Eva rushed down the steps and made it to the table where her dad and the Smith family were busy. He trailed behind her at a slow rate. Stephen was trying to guess the reason for her withdrawn attitude. He was wondering why she was avoiding him after marriage.
Stephen also gets settled beside her and becomes involved in the conversation.
