Chapter 955: I Am A Man’s Man
But Luna didn’t quite like it. It was too tight. At first, she only wanted something simple, not luxurious. This dress was simple, and even though it hugged her figure well, she had her doubts.
“I’ll try another one,” Luna said.
Orion nodded.
She turned and walked back to the fitting room for the wedding dress.
Many wedding dresses had large skirts, so the fitting room was spacious, with wide doors that wouldn’t hinder the large skirts of the dresses.
Orion crossed his legs and thought about how Luna looked in the wedding dress moments ago, and couldn’t help but smile.
Luna looked really beautiful.
Even though her appearance had changed, her temperament and the aura she exuded remained the same. If anything had changed, it was that she had become more reserved.
Having weathered the storms, she had settled into a quiet calm.
Soon, Luna emerged in the dress inspired by dreams.
The waist of the dress meandered down irregularly, but not messily. The craftsmanship was intricate yet the dress looked simple.
The upper body was conservative and dignified.
Overall, it looked clean.
This was what Luna liked.
She looked at Orion. “I like this one.”
Orion nodded in agreement.
Indeed, this dress was stunning.
If the dress she wore before was beautiful, this one seemed tailor-made for her.
“This one it is,” Orion said.
Luna nodded.
She went back to change out of the dress.
Orion and the manager finalized the purchase.
…
Coming out of the bridal shop, Luna asked, “Are we going home now?”
Orion replied, “There’s one more place we need to go.”
“Accessories, you need those too.”
Luna made a soft sound of agreement. She didn’t refuse, knowing that even if she did, Orion would insist. It was better to accept graciously, making him feel more comfortable.
The two of them went to the jewelry store, where they were met by a designated attendant upon arrival.
But it was Orion who picked out the jewelry.
Very luxurious and expensive.
Luna said, “Isn’t it too wasteful to buy something so good that will only be worn once?”
Orion looked at her, “I know you never care about these things, but I want to give them to you. And although these are costly, they also have appreciation potential. We have stars; you can pass them on to our daughter in the future. When you do the math, isn’t it worth it?”
Luna didn’t understand much about finance, let alone about jewelry.
She could only listen to Orion.
Orion said that there was potential for appreciation in the value of the jewelry, so buying them wouldn’t be a loss.
Indeed, these pieces of jewelry were truly valuable.
After the shopping spree, it was already nearing noon.
Orion took her out to lunch.
Then he sent her home.
Having been out for a while, Orion could tell that Luna was worried about Star at home.
So he took care of other matters himself.
…
Returning home, Luna saw the nanny playing with Star in the living room. Star was being quiet and not causing any trouble.
Seeing Luna return, the nanny walked over, carrying Star.
Luna washed her hands, then came back to hold Star. “She didn’t give you a hard time, did she?”
The nanny shook her head, “Not at all. She’s very well-behaved and listens to you. This child is really adorable.”
Star looked around with wide eyes, curious about everything.
“I just changed her diaper; she should be sleepy now. She played for a long time just now.”
Luna nodded. “When she gets hungry, she’ll sleep for the milk.”
Whenever Star drank milk, she would fall asleep. That seemed to be the case for most babies.
The nanny was very clean and efficient, making the house bright and comfortable.
Luna played with Star in the living room.
…
Freya and her entourage arrived two days before the wedding.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Luna and Orion went to pick them up at the airport.
As soon as they saw each other, Freya gave Luna a big hug and teased in her ear, “The speed at which you two are progressing is beyond my imagination, really fast.”
Luna said, “I didn’t want to turn him down.”
She wanted to try hard to be with him.
Freya sighed, “I’m happy for you. I truly hope you both will be happy. It’s good that you think this way.”
Luna patted her on the back. “Enough of that.”
With so many people present, Xander said, “Don’t you two also need to thank me?”
After all, when Luna returned to the country after her disfigurement, it was as a relative of Xander’s that she came back.
Orion joked, “I should be thankful, not you. This matter is thanks to Freya.”
Xander said, “Well, I’ll take Luna away then.”
Orion held Luna’s hand and said, “She’s mine now. You can’t take her away.”
Xander rolled his eyes at them. “Don’t show affection in front of me.”
Affectionate shows of love die quickly!
Evan said, “Hey Xander, all of us here are in pairs; you’re the only lone wolf.”
Xander looked around. That was true.
He was the only one without a partner.
Orion let go of Luna and walked to Xander, putting his arm around his shoulder. “I’ll introduce someone to you.”
Xander was surprised. “Are you really being so kind?”
Orion said, “Come on. I got Luna back with your help. I was just kidding earlier. I’ll find a beautiful girlfriend for you. How about that? Consider it as my gratitude to you.”
Xander quickly waved his hands, afraid that Orion might actually go through with it.
He really didn’t need a girlfriend.
He liked his current life. Apart from work, living alone was quite comfortable.
“I can happily eat a full meal without anyone going hungry.”
Orion laughed and asked, “Do you really want to live alone your whole life? Do you want to be alone forever?”
Xander joked, “No way.”
As they bantered, they left the airport.
Orion went to the front car and opened it. “Elijah.”
He smiled.
“Thank you for coming back.”
Elijah patted his shoulder.
Luna held Morton. “Morton is getting heavier now.”
Freya suggested that she put Morton in the car. “Yes, Morton is getting big.”
Time really flew.
Kai tugged at Luna’s dress. “Aunt Luna, you haven’t hugged me yet.”
Freya said, “Kai, how old are you now?”
Luna looked down at Kai, reminiscing, “I still remember how Kai was when he was a baby. And in the blink of an eye, he’s grown so much.”
Compared to Morton, Luna was closer to Kai.
When they were younger, Luna took care of Kai for a while.
She bent down to hug Kai.
Holding him, she realized how heavy he had gotten.
“I almost can’t hold you anymore,” she lightly touched his cheek. “Eat more and grow tall.”
Kai said, “I eat a lot every day.”
Now was the time for him to grow taller, and with a private chef at home, he could almost eat whatever he wanted.
“Kai is becoming more handsome,” Luna couldn’t help but praise.
She wasn’t just saying that because Kai was Freya’s son; she genuinely liked the way Kai was growing up, fair-skinned, with dark hair, and bright, intelligent eyes.
“Grandma said I’m starting to look more like my daddy now.”
