Chapter 3277 Not Welcome
As soon as Nina's words fell, a noise came from the living room.
Luca said, "It must be the groom and his party arriving."
Nina became nervous. "What should I do? I feel even more nervous now, and it's hard to breathe..."
Sue quickly reassured her, "Don't worry. Think about how happy and fulfilling your life will be after this wedding. It's a wonderful thing. Try to relax and take a deep breath."
Nina tried to take a deep breath but felt like crying. "The wedding dress is so tight. I can't breathe deeply."
Luca pressed an acupoint on Nina's arm. "Do you feel better now?"
Nina found it quite amazing. "Yes, much better. What acupoint is this?"
"Just press it when you're nervous. Don't press too hard, or it might make your skin red," said Luca, showing her where to press. "This spot is helpful."
"It really works!" replied Nina.
A bridesmaid walked in, cheerfully announcing, "The groom has arrived. Let's close the bedroom door."
"Okay," replied Nina, gently pressing on the spot Luca indicated and feeling much better but still nervous.
Outside, there was a flurry of noisy activity.
Percy, surrounded by his groomsmen, walked into the apartment.
All the bridesmaids blocked the bedroom door, beginning to negotiate with Percy.
"Mr. Mallory, you need to give us gifts to get inside."
"Yes, and it has to be big gifts!" added another bridesmaid.
Percy nodded to his groomsmen, who had prepared plenty of gifts to speed up the process of getting to his bride.
Once the bridesmaids received the gifts, they cheered, "That's very generous of you, Mr. Mallory."
"Thank you, Mr. Mallory."
"Can I go get my wife now?" asked Percy.
Satisfied with the gifts, the bridesmaids let him through.
Percy opened the door and saw Nina sitting on the bed. His heart skipped a beat.
The glances exchanged between the bride and groom made everyone cheer.
"Oh, what a handsome groom and beautiful bride! They're so lucky!" one bridesmaid said
enviously.
Her words were met with agreement from the others.
At Nina's request, they skipped the other games and went straight to the vows.
A bridesmaid handed a vow sheet to Percy. "Now, the groom needs to kneel and make his vows. After that, he can put the heels on the bride and take her to the wedding venue!" Percy took the sheet and, without hesitation, knelt before everyone and began his vows. Nina was deeply touched, tears welling up in her eyes. She struggled to hold back the tears. After Percy finished his vows, he asked the bridesmaids, "Where are my wife's heels? Does the groom need to give gifts for the shoes?"
The groomsmen heard this and handed out more gifts. Since Percy had mentioned that he wanted to smoothly pick up his bride, he did not mind being generous with the gifts.
The bridesmaids saw how generous the groom was and did not make things difficult. They handed over the hidden heels.
Percy helped Nina put on her heels, and the newlyweds headed out.
Luca was holding Lanie's and Rainie's hands. She was approached by Luke, who said, "Let's go. We'll ride in my car."
"Okay." Luca nodded. She glanced at Lanie, who looked handsome today, with a smile. Lanie returned the smile.
The five of them followed the wedding procession downstairs.
The bride and groom got into a Rolls-Royce, while the other bridesmaids began searching for their cars.
Luxury cars were in abundance at Percy's wedding.
Luke led Luca and the children to his car. A bridesmaid approached shyly and asked, "Hi, can I ride with you?"
"I'm sorry, but the car is full, replied Luke. He was being polite because it was Percy's wedding. Otherwise, he would have simply said it was full without any extra courtesy.
"Oh, okay. Sorry to bother you. The bridesmaid showed a hint of disappointment and went off to find another car.
Tommy put his hands on his hips and said, "Daddy, you're attracting attention!"
"I'm not," replied Luke as he opened the back door and gestured for the three kids to get in.
The three kids climbed into the car. Luke closed the door and then opened the front passenger door for Luca.
Luca took her seat in the front.
He closed the door and went around to the driver's side. Their car followed behind the wedding cars.
About half an hour later, they arrived at the wedding venue.
Once they got out of the car, Luca said to Luke, "I'll take Tommy over first. He's the ring
bearer and needs to walk ahead during the ceremony."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on Lanie and Rainie." Luke nodded.
Luca took Tommy's hand and walked toward the venue.
As she was about to enter with the invitation in hand, she heard someone causing a scene at
another entrance.
"Do you know who I am? Why won't you let me in?!"
Luca recognized the voice and turned to see Anna.
Nina's brother, Jean, was also here.
Luca frowned and thought that despite their decent appearance, their presence might still reflect poorly on Nina.
She walked over to the attendant at the entrance while still holding Tommy's hand. "What's going on?"
The attendant noticed her invitation and recognized her as a wedding guest. He explained," These people claim to be the bride's family, but they don't have an invitation."
Jean saw Luca, and his face lit up with joy. His eyes greedily scanned her up and down.
Luca, tell them who we are. We're Nina's brother and mother. Why can't we go in?"
"No invitation, no entry," Luca replied in a cold voice. Her gaze made it clear she found him
disgusting.
"You!" Anna was furious. She tried to snatch the invitation from Luca's hand.
Luca quickly stepped back, causing Anna to stumble and nearly fall, Fortunately, Jean
caught her.
"Mom, what are you doing?" said Jean in a displeased tone.
"If they want an invitation, I'll just take this shameless woman's invitation. Then, we can go
in, right?" Anna was clearly annoyed with Luca.
She always felt that Luca was just as irritating as Bianca.
Luca remained expressionless and said to the attendant, "The bride didn't invite them, so they're not guests. Have security escort them out. Don't let them cause trouble at the
wedding."
"Yes, ma'am!" The attendant nodded and used a walkie-talkie to alert the security outside.
"Luca, don't be so unreasonable!" Anna fumed. "You're not Nina. You have no right to make decisions for her!"
"You took the money and severed ties with Nina. What right do you have to attend her wedding now?" Luca asked nonchalantly.
Anna was at a loss for words.
"I'm her mother. Family ties can't just be cut off like that. Besides, I want to see my daughter
on this happy occasion. Why can't I attend her wedding?"
"You're not welcome without an invitation. Even kids understand that. You ignored Nina afterBelonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
taking the money, and now, you suddenly want to be involved in her life? Ms. Anna, surely you haven't spent all the money already, have you?"
