Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage novel Chapter 57

The car started again. Lillian looked at the crystal bracelet around her wrist and now realized that Sebastian had never sent her any accessories. After they had got married, she hadn’t got a wedding ring, not even a band ring.

They hadn’t held a wedding ceremony to begin with, so how would she get a wedding ring? However, the reason Sebastian sent her a crystal bracelet today was to cover the mark he left around her wrist.

Lillian gave a wry smile. Such a glittering and beautiful crystal bracelet adorned her swollen wrist, but the only thing she felt now was the pain from rubbing.

It turned out that what lay underneath glamor was simply pain.

Outside the banquet hall for the anniversary celebration, the red carpet was long settled. Many stars had already walked down the red carpet into the hall under the spotlight amid screams from thrilled fans.

Of course, the stars dressed up. Autumn just arrived and it was cool now. Deep V-neck, high slit, slip dress and lace… Everyone looked extremely sensuous and stunning in these designer ball gowns.

Men dressed up as well. Their suits were accessorized with cufflinks and pocket squares, while their hair was meticulously styled with pomade, shiny and sleek.

The car stopped. Through the window, Lillian could see the massive media throng and groups of fans, between whom laid a long red carpet. An A-list actress was walking down the aisle, and the flashes were so bright that one would find it hard to keep his eyes open.

Lillian saw that actress’ smooth bare back. Amid screams from media reporters, she raised her chin slightly and gave a proud smile. Undoubtedly, it felt fantastic to be everyone’s favorite.

Lillian cast a look at the strapless gown she chose for herself. Compared to those beauties and stars on the red carpet, she was rather conservatively-dressed by only showing her fair shoulders.

Someone came and opened the car door for them. At that instant, all the spotlights were drawn to them. Sebastian got off the car composedly, his expression unchanged. When he stood firm, he stretched out his hand to Lillian, who was still in the car.

Seeing that Sebastian appeared, the media naturally put their focus on him, while no one saw Lillian yet because she was sitting in the car.

All the media reporters believed that it must be Joanna again accompanying Sebastian celebrating the anniversary this time. Ever since the day when Sebastian had started to build up her popularity, his female companion had been Joanna all the time, and no other woman was ever seen next to him.

Therefore, when Lillian placed her hand into Sebastian’s and showed up in front of everyone helped by him, an uproar was caused in the crowd!

For a moment, everyone present was stunned. Staring at the brand new couple, the crowd failed to respond for a time. The media reporters even forgot to take photos, while the fans were looking at them in confusion.

However, after a moment of silence came floods of flashes. The dazzling light kept the night bright as day, and the atmosphere reached the climax at this moment! The media reporters erupted, while the fans were astounded. The whole scene was in an uproar, and this night was meant to be restless!

Lillian had never been greeted with so many flashes at the same time and couldn’t adapt herself to it for a time. She dropped her eyes a little to avoid those glaring flashes.

When she lowered her head, Lillian saw her own hand being held in Sebastian’s. The bracelet around her wrist looked even more glittering under the flashes, but her eyes were stinging from the light reflected by those little diamonds, and the clamor faded out the moment she closed her eyes uncontrollably.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing that Lillian was being a little odd, Sebastian whispered in her ear.

Lillian came to her sense and saw Sebastian’s face before her eyes. The flashing light brightened his cheeks, and there seemed to be a hint of inconspicuous concern in his slight frown?
