It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 837: THE WEDDING
In the end, the most awaited wedding day finally arrived and Kia was now in the dressing room accompanied only by Candice. She looked like she was about to cry and even wiped her tears with the backs of her hands several times already, making Kia feel guilty thinking if her make-up had problems.
“Don’t cry, mom,” Kia said softly. “I also want to cry.” Kia’s eyes were now filled with tears because she never thought that a day like this would come in her life.
She couldn’t put into words how happy she was.
Even though her family didn’t come, she invited Alia and her sister promised to come to accompany her, while their parents and Daniel could only accept the decision graciously.
“No, you can’t, you can’t cry, a bride can’t cry, it will ruin your makeup,” Candice said firmly, she then dabbed Kia’s watery eyes carefully with a tissue, because she couldn’t hold back her emotions.
Even though only Alia would attend as the representative of her family, Kia was neither unhappy nor sad. On the contrary, she felt much calmer than usual. Her heart no longer felt heavy and she could smile with relief now, knowing that her new family loved her so much.
“Why are you two crying?” asked Mika, who had been staring at the two of them. When she saw Kia and Candice crying at each other, she too started crying with fervor, because she didn’t really understand what was happening and according to her, tears were a symbol of sadness.
“Don’t cry Mika, we aren’t crying because we are sad,” Candice coaxed when she saw her granddaughter sobbing until she was hiccupping. Tears streamed down her face and her face turned red. She knelt in front of Mika and tried to stop her crying.
“But, you guys are crying…” Mika was a sensitive child, therefore, when she saw the two people she loved cry, she couldn’t help joining them.
And in the end, Kia and Candice managed to stop crying, because they had to focus on calming Mika down first.
The little girl hugged her mother’s neck tightly, while listening to them say they were crying because of happiness and not because of being sad.
“If you can cry when you are happy, does that mean you can laugh when you are sad?” she asked while wiping her tears, she looked at her grandmother and mother who winced when they heard this.
“Yeah, you could say that…” Candice said hesitantly.
For those who had experienced ups and downs in life, shedding happy tears was a good thing, but when someone laughed because they were sad it was a feeling that was very difficult to describe and they hoped that Mika wouldn’t ever know that kind of feeling.
“What are you doing here? Why didn’t you put on the dress yet?” Apple came into the room and she looked confused at the sight. “Why are you crying?”
Mika rubbed her eyes and her lips pouted adorably. “Because we’re happy,” she replied, which confused Apple.
“Huh?” Apple blinked her eyes and looked at them one by one. She didn’t understand what was going on.
============================
And with that, the wedding party started smoothly and everything looked under control. Not many people were invited, therefore, this wedding party seemed more solemn and more intimate.
Mika, who became the ring barrier, brought their wedding rings. She looked beautiful in a white dress and also a matching hair bow. She was seen smiling all the way to her parents, but she also looked shy because all eyes were on her now.
And when she had arrived and Kia and Misha had exchanged rings, she pouted.
“Where’s my ring?” Mika asked in a slightly louder voice because she didn’t think the two of them would be able to hear her. “Why can’t I get a ring too? I already brought the rings for you…” she looked sad and sullen, which made the people present laugh.
This wedding was held in the backyard of the Tordoff family’s residence near the lake and in the evening, fireworks decorated the night sky, indicating that the party was over.
Mika looked happy when she saw her mother laugh and she also danced with Misha and her grandpa.
“Did I mention that you look very beautiful?” asked Misha while they were dancing.
“I think I’ve lost count of how much you’ve said that tonight, to the point I started thinking you’re just trying to please me by saying those things.”
“Nonsense.” Misha lowered his head and stole a kiss from Kia, which made the woman laugh.
On the other hand, Alia took a photo of the two of them and sent it to her parents. She had gotten permission from Kia to do this, just this once though.
Just for today, at least, with this, Kia was already being very lenient, but that didn’t mean it was a sign she was going to open her heart to them. No. She wouldn’t do that.
“Aunty Alia, I want that cake,” Mika called while tugging at Alia’s dress to get her attention. “I want that…” Mika pointed at the chocolate fudge that was on the table as she couldn’t reach it.
“Okay,” said Alia, while giving her the chocolate cake. “How much of this cake have you eaten already?” Alia just realized that there was a pile of plates near Mika. “Don’t you like strawberries?”
“I like chocolate now,” she said casually.
And when the fireworks were shot into the clear night sky, Mika looked excited, but since it was already past her bedtime, it was not long before she had fallen asleep in Alia’s lap.
“How about you stay for the night?” Candice offered while asking a babysitter to take Mika to the room, because she was afraid that the little girl would catch a cold.
“Looks like I can’t stay for the night, because I have to go to school tomorrow.” Alia politely declined and Candice couldn’t persuade her when it came to school.
“Okay, I’ll ask Will to take you home.”
“Thank You.”
Candice smiled and left with the babysitter carrying Mika.
Not long after, Kia came and hugged Alia. “I’m glad you’re here. I hope you enjoyed the party too.”
“I’m happy to see you happy, sis.” Alia hugged her even tighter. “Always be happy after today. I just want to see you happy now. I’m glad you’re surrounded by people who care for you and love you.”
“Thank You.”
And after that, Kia went inside the house together with Misha. They would leave that night for their honeymoon to the place that had been planned. It was an area around the beach, at a luxury resort.
They would be on their honeymoon for a week there.
“Be happy sis Kia, you really deserve it.” Alia kissed Kia’s cheek.
That night, when Alia came home, Amber was still waiting for her. She was sitting in front of a television that was on, but Alia was sure that her mother was not watching anything on the television.
Her eyes stared at Alia who walked into the house, but she didn’t say anything but a brief greeting.
Meanwhile, Lyle was in the kitchen. Amber didn’t know what he was doing, but he had been there for several hours.
Amber didn’t go to him or ask why he was like that either. She just let him be because they were currently deep in their own thoughts.
“You’re back,” said Daniel, he poked his head out of the room when he heard Alia’s footsteps approaching. Their rooms were next to each other.
“Yeah…” she said softly.
“How was the party?” asked Daniel awkwardly. “Was it fun?”
“Yeah, it was great, Kia looked so happy.”
“Oh….” Daniel bowed his head and went back into the room while Alia went into the bathroom and cleaned herself up.
But, when she came out of the bathroom, Amber was waiting for her. She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Alia with puffy eyes, as if she had been crying while she was waiting.
“Come here Alia, please tell me how the wedding was? Tell me in detail. Whatever it was, from the decorations to the vows they exchanged. Whatever it is, please tell mother…”
Amber did not attend the wedding, respecting Kia’s decision and when Alia said she had permission to send videos and photos of the wedding, Amber was very happy.
Seeing Kia getting married and smiling so happily and also seeing her granddaughter bringing them the wedding rings and making funny comments, Amber was willing to trade anything just to be there.
Lyle was not in a good mood either. When he saw Lexus walk her down the aisle, he immediately left and didn’t continue watching the wedding video. He had been in the kitchen since then, but he didn’t say anything. He didn’t blame Kia or say how unfair this whole thing seemed to him either.
Lyle just said nothing, and so did Daniel. He just kept silent and watched the whole video and saw all the photos that Alia sent and after that he locked himself in the room.
“Mom don’t worry, sis Kia looks very happy, I’ve never seen her smile like that, but today, I can confirm that she is the happiest woman.” Alia rubbed the arm of her mother who was sobbing.
“Thank God… thank goodness she feels happy… mother also feels happy for her.” Amber tried to wipe her tears roughly. “Then? Tell mom again what happened there…” Amber persuaded her.
