Chapter 788: Chapter 767: Completing the Ceremony and Entering the Bridal Chamber

Chapter 767

Time suddenly quieted down. Michael Gordon didn’t know what to say. He just stared intently at Ivy Aretha, seeing the enchantingly charming face in his mind.

"Michael, have you recovered your memory?"

Ivy didn’t believe Michael could have recovered his memory so easily, but his words didn’t sound like a joke.

They had been married for more than a year. Though it wasn’t a long time, it was enough for Ivy to understand this man. He was usually frivolous but never made things up. He would just tease with slick words. So, Ivy almost believed that Michael had really remembered something.

However, it seemed unconvincing for someone who had lost their memory for a long time to suddenly remember everything.

"Yes, I’ve found the memories I lost, the memories from those missing years, and I’ve found you who I had lost. The luckiest thing in my life is that the person I found in those lost memories is still you!"

As the words fell, Michael bent down, and a passionate kiss landed on Ivy’s forehead. He grabbed her wrist, and as Ivy raised her head to see the gentle expression on his face, she realized that he had already turned his gaze away from her and looked at the guests filling the room.

The guests were whispering, but when they saw that the groom’s attention had shifted to their side of the room, a sudden silence fell over the crowd. All eyes were fixed on Michael’s handsome face.

With a faint smile, the man showed a tenderness that had never been seen before. The eyes, so often cold or flirtatious, were now filled with deep affection. At a glance, the guests on stage could tell that he was a very happy groom!

As for the reason, the guests did not know, they only knew that Mr. Gordon was a henpecked husband who married a woman without status. He treated her like a treasure, even handing over the company he built to the peak of success into her care!

Such boldness was unprecedented!

For a man to indulge his wife to this extent, it was unheard of in history. There have been emperors who lost their kingdom because of women, but never had anyone handed over their kingdom to a woman. Mr. Gordon was indeed the first in history to give away everything so willingly!

Now, standing among the guests, it seemed as if he had something to explain to everyone. As expected, with his delicate features, Michael began to address the guests: "Rather than confessing my love to my bride, I want to make a promise to her in front of all the guests here. I, Michael Gordon, have always been arrogant and domineering. I like to be straightforward and I don’t play with words or make promises. But today, since everyone is here, I want to make a promise to my bride!"

Jaysen Smith and Oliver Thompson both twitched at the corners of their eyes. This man was still somewhat self-aware, knowing that he was arrogant and overbearing, but there was still hope for him!

Pausing for a moment, Michael continued, "I promise to love you for the rest of my life, whether you continue to love me or not, I will always love you unconditionally!"

The guests: "..."

They had thought that after preparing for so long, Mr. Gordon would make a shocking and profound love confession. But they didn’t expect him to admit that he was willing to accept being cuckolded without giving up!

However, if another man uttered such words, it would be a sign of incompetence. But when those words came out from Mr. Gordon’s mouth, it became a mark of unwavering devotion!

Such a devoted Mr. Gordon!

But it seemed that Mr. Gordon hadn’t finished speaking yet!

Ivy Aretha glared at Michael Gordon, clearly disapproving of his nonsense, which made her seem like a fickle woman. To Ivy, when she loves, it’s for a lifetime, and there’s no question of whether she’ll continue to love or not!

Receiving Ivy’s disapproving gaze, Michael Gordon immediately turned to the guests and continued, "Next, I’ll talk about our love story. Usually, the groom is forced to reveal this during the bridal chamber prank, right? But today’s bride is pregnant and about to give birth, so forget about the bridal chamber prank. I’ll talk about it now. If I do a good job, please applaud, make the bride shed a few tears, and then agree to marry me!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

He couldn’t even make her cry himself, but now he wanted others to do it for him?

Having heard that there would be no bridal chamber prank, most of the guests were disappointed. Pranking Mr. Gordon during the bridal chamber and posting the scene on Twitter would have attracted countless followers and even earned them some commercial fees!

So when they heard this, everyone pricked up their ears, and many people had already activated the audio and video recording functions on their phones, waiting to capture some behind-the-scenes content and flaunt that they were witnesses to this wedding of the century!

"I first saw Ivy when I was eight years old. It was love at first sight. We had a happy time together during our journey to Cloudy Resort Island. When I pulled her out from under the bus, her parents had already passed away. I thought she would cry, make a fuss, or plead for her parents, but surprisingly, she just quietly knelt in front of them without saying a word for three days and nights. On the third night, she couldn’t bear it and fainted. I still remember the last sentence she said to me before she fainted!"

"That was, ’From today on, in my world there is only you, big brother, and no more mom and dad!’"

"Seven-year-old me fainted from exhaustion at the hospital after sending her there. When I woke up, I was in the Gordon family mansion. The girl I had wanted to accompany as we grew up together was gone, as if she had disappeared before my eyes. I wanted to ask my mom where she went, but before I could, my mom fell seriously ill and was hospitalized, then left me forever."

Calvin Gordon was the only one who knew how much effort Michael put into saying that sentence about his mother’s illness and departure. After his mother’s death, Michael completely changed, and his childhood disappeared along with her.

His early maturity started from that moment. Calvin had always thought that it was because his mother’s death had had a great impact on him. But it wasn’t until this moment that he realized, as a father, how negligent he had been. His son had lost his closest relatives and love!

"But, I didn’t give up on finding my girl because of this. I knew that in this world, she only had me. So, every day, every year, I kept searching. I didn’t know where she had gone, and some people said she was dead, but I knew she was alive. She just didn’t know where I was. Since I couldn’t find her, I decided to stand in the most conspicuous and powerful position so that she could find me. I started to grow and strengthen the Gordon Group, from domestic to international, until every country in the world knew that I, Michael Gordon, was the CEO of Allure International. I believed that as long as she saw it, she would remember that I was her big brother!"

Ivy Aretha was completely stunned, not knowing that he had done so much for her!

Calvin Gordon was directly petrified. So his son had been working so hard and so desperately, transforming the Gordon Group into Allure International, renowned worldwide, all for a woman. And what had he done?

He had deeply pushed the woman his son had exhausted his life for out of the door!

And almost got her killed. He didn’t dare to think, if something really happened to Ivy Aretha at that time, would he have had her life or his son’s life!

Michael Gordon’s so-called confession continued...

"Later, I finally found her. She was living a simple but strong life, going to school while also working at a cafe. The only thing that had changed was that she no longer recognized me, and there was an annoying fly around her. The first time I saw her, I admit I was deeply hurt. Seeing someone else by her side, I suddenly felt empty in my heart, as if there was no point in living!"

Ivy Aretha...

The first time?

Right, he was talking about the first time after they had grown up. Wasn’t it the time when she was drunk and drugged?
