Chapter 251 Festive Silverburgh City
Finished
Clinging to Wyatt, Yunice looked downwards, realizing she was sitting in his arms; her toes were half a meter off the floor.
As Yunice lifted her head, she realized Wyatt was looking at her, like a predator eyeing its prey. Beneath his aggressiveness lay a sense of thrill.
In a defensive tone, Yunice asked, “What are you trying to do?”
In a cheerful tone, Wyatt replied, “I remember Mr. Carl kept a few bottles of top–tier red wine for you. Don’t you intend on bringing them out to delight Mr. Carl?”
Yunice frowned, and as she was about to speak, Wyatt pressed his fingertip against her lips, a silent command.
Wyatt continued, “If you were to marry me, he would be delighted.”
Unimpressed, Yunice looked away, but then, as if she had realized something, she came close to his collar.
The smell of henbane.….. vanished. Yunice thought in shock as she looked towards Wyatt and asked, “Have you regulated your body?”
Once the henbane’s venom is removed, the symptoms of nerve paralysis will subside. With that, Wyatt won’t be a cripple anymore. He did climb in through the window. Yunice thought.
Tilting his head, and with his smiling gaze still locked on Yunice, Wyatt said, “Can’t you tell how much the wedding ceremony tomorrow means to me?”
Wyatt did regulate his body; he doesn’t want to be a cripple anymore.
Pushing against his chest and trying to get down, Yunice said, “You should get going.”
Wyatt was not satisfied with her response. He eased his arms back, and Yunice was left sitting in his embrace.
Footsteps could be heard outside the door. Yunice clenched her fingers in unease. Wyatt felt the subtle movement through his clothes, making him restless.
Seeing that Yunice never once looked at him, Wyatt said, holding his temper, “After marriage, you are to live with me in Pavillion Hall. Don’t make me go and ask Carl for you. I am taking those boules of red wine for you.”
Upon finishing his words by her ear, Wyatt put her back in her bed as he pulled the blanket over and lay it over her.
Just as Wyatt left through the window, Gill pushed the door and entered the room.

The next day, Silverburgh City was crowded with cars. Certain road sections were even cordoned off; only those with an invitation card can proceed.
The Crawford family? Lily and Elsie, sitting in the passenger seat, thought as they showed puzzled looks on their faces.
Lily made a phone call to Freya. Freya is the butler of the Crawford family. Freya said, “That’s right. Mr. Crawford is marrying off his honorary daughter today. If Madam Lily is free today, you are welcome to visit Obelisk Hotel with your family members. But of course, if you are not available for the time being, Mr. Crawford won’t mind it at all.”
Elsie said, “No such thing as that. Mr. Carl must have known that we would be going to the Powell mansion today. Maybe he’s just afraid that you’ll get worn out from keeping up with both sides. After all, it is only his honorary daughter’s wedding ceremony. Perhaps Mr. Carl doesn’t consider it important, so he never informs us.”
Lily always wanted Elsie to foster a good relationship with Carl’s honorary daughter. How could she miss out on this opportunity for a secret observation during the wedding?
Elsie had the same idea, as she said, “Owen, let’s not visit the Powell mansion. It’s going to upset us anyway. Why don’t we visit Mr. Carl and get some wedding favors from him?”
Thus, Owen changed course as he headed in the opposite direction from the Powell mansion. The wedding banquet hosted by the Powell family and the Cooper family was in two opposite
