“Brother!” Kim and Piper yelled at once.
Rex looked at them and beamed. “He’s still gonna know,” he winked.
“Know what? Tell me, I’m interested–” he bolted to his feet and yelled. “Does Dad want to hurt my mum again?!”
“Ah, ah, ah! Calm down, little one. It’s not as bad as you think… You know what, I just remembered I haven’t finished my work. See you…!” Rex ran away after causing trouble.
Everyone else laughed. Pink called Valen with a smile and asked, “Why don’t we go to the practice room and see how far your martial arts skills have improved?”
Valen eagerly nodded and pushed Pink’s wheelchair out of the dining room.
Kimberly excused herself, leaving Brian and Piper alone to talk.
Immediately everyone left, the two pounced on each other in a make-out section. They were so hungry for each other that the noises they made as they kissed attested to that.
Maya, who had no idea what was happening, decided to enter the dining room to take out the dishes. However, what she met those two doing, got blood running to her cheeks. She ran back out, her chest heaving up and down.

*Inside Matt’s office.*
The doctor was stitching a cut on Inspector Fin’s back while they talked.
“From what you’ve said, It is clear that the rainborite stone can cure viruses, which means we can be cured too. That’s impressive,” Inspector Fin nodded.
“Right. I noticed while monitoring Damien, the stone has energy that is absorbed and after that, it turns to powder. The energy from it is the cure,” Matt emphasized.
“Got that. I never thought something so phenomenal could occur for real. I thought it could only happen in anime cultivation movies.” Inspector Fin was amused.
“I hope you don’t come here, bearing another injury. I see no point in being a cop if you can’t fight.” The topic took a nosedive too quickly.
“How about you stop nagging? Aren’t you a doctor? If you can’t treat patients anymore, you should submit your resignation letter to the board,” Inspector Fin fired back.
“I’m saying it for your good. Any injury you sustain from now on shall be handled by the hospital.” He clipped the last thread and dropped the scissors, then took a bandage.
“Why? Are you dying?”
“I wish I was. My wife is pregnant and she wants a wedding.”
Inspector Fin gasped and was about to turn in excitement, but was pulled back by Matt, who glared dangerously at him.
“Will you behave and let me wrap this up?”
Inspector Fin did as told. He waited patiently until his wound was bandaged before he got up and carried Matt up from his legs and spun him around.
“Finally! Hahaha…”
“Put me down, that looks gay!” his face contorted into a scowl, causing Fin to laugh even more but the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
“You foolish man. Your stitches have opened!” Matt glared at the blood stain on the white bandage dress.
“I got excited,” Fin chuckled.
“You all are troublesome, it seems I really need to retire.” He hissed and started cutting the bandage open.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 61 – 70
For the next few days, the group were preparing for a baby shower and a wedding. The joy at this time was like a fantasy that none of them believed would ever happen so soon.
While the others were doing the preparation, Jeslyn was preparing for her public appearance that would be taking place the next day, coincidentally, it was Fearless Entertainment’s 6th anniversary. A perfect setting for a public appearance.
By the next morning, everything was in place. According to her Manager, she shouldn’t apply make-up or wear something too extravagant. Her reason was so that her fans would believe she was indeed having a hard time and truly needed the rest they cut off. In other words, her appearance was to make her fans feel guilty for bothering her.
Jeslyn wore a simple black gown, accompanied by low heels. Her hair was a bit messy and her face was touched with a bit of makeup to make her look like a sad person.
“Are you ready?” Maverick asked as he entered her room.
“Yes,” she smiled.
Unlike usual, he was wearing a white shirt with a few loose buttons on beige pants. Although he looked cool, his sex appeal was suppressed.
With the wife looking unhappy, and the husband tuning down his charms, it was enough to tell observant people that something wasn’t right.
Just like Manager Kate expected, the moment they got out of the car, the reporter and fans who were waiting outside the event centre, gasped.
They looked cute together as always but the air around them felt strange. The man was holding his wife close to himself, while the woman was looking nervous and trying to shy away from the cameras.
People would have concluded that the man was bullying her, but she looked like she was only comfortable with him around. Her grip on the back of his white shirt was so tight that they could see her knuckles turned white.
The man felt it and paused. He looked at her and said something to which she nodded. The man smiled faintly, kissed the top of her head and swept her off her feet.
The reporters who had written down pages and pages of questions were stunned and even forgot to take pictures of the two.
The fans who had a lot to say, couldn’t pull their minds away from what just happened.
“I thought they said the two broke up? Or are my eyes deceiving me?” someone asked in the crowd after Jeslyn and Maverick went inside.
“I was also wondering.”
“My question is, why is VJ Cute looking so thin and sick?”
“She also looks traumatized.”
“I bet you guys traumatized her with your comments weeks ago. Didn’t you see that she didn’t wave at us, or even spared us some glances like she used to do? I told y’all to be calm and wait for her to clear the air, but no, y’all attacked her husband like he was some child that could be abused!” an angry fan yelled from the back of the crowd.
“Now she’s scared of us,” another pouted.
Remorse swept through the crowd but it was far from over.
Manager Kate who just watched what happened was flabbergasted. That play was simply epic! No dialogues were said, yet the picture they painted was tear-inducing. She suddenly had an idea. After this, she’d speak to Jeslyn if she would consider acting as a side hustle.
Other Celebrities and invited guests walked down the red carpet. Made posts for the cameras and walked in.

A moment later, the TV caught sight of another mighty figure who had been away for months. Brian!
The young man stepped out of the white car and went over to open the door on the other side. While fans were excited to see him again, they were also curious to see who the god of the entertainment industry came with.
‘Piper?!’
Fans gasped in shock. They knew the beef between the two even though they had no idea why. So why was he with her?
‘I said it. Fights in the entertainment industry are always a sham to control ridiculous fans to milk more money! I never believed those two were enemies. Hmph!’
‘+20,000’
‘I’m so upset right now! How could my idol be with Piper? This is crazy!’
‘+2000’
‘Aww, they look good together!’
‘+5000’
‘Although I’m Brian’s diehard fan and don’t like Piper for him, but I’ll accept her if he loves her. After all, it all boils down to who makes one happy and comfortable.’
‘+10,000’
‘It’s not fair. Brian bullied our Piper so much in the past. I’m afraid she’s in a toxic relationship. Petition to break them apart!’
‘+8000’
‘Our idol is not an abusive man, your Piper is nothing but a *****’
‘Who said that?’
Brian and Piper’s fans who didn’t show up, took to the comment section to speak their minds. Fights, agreement, disagreement and everything else that could be found in every comment section of controversial posts were right under the pages showing what was going on at the event.

After the two walked down the red carpet, the next people to step on it were Rex and Celestine. Oh yeah, people saw it on the TV before and knew they were dating, or rather engaged. But seeing them walk down the red carpet, holding hands was another feeling for them.
After them came Lolita and Matt. Another shock and disbelief coursed through everyone. But they soon got over it. There was a chance that Lolita might end up with one of Alpha Chaos’ friends anyway. After all, she is Jeslyn’s best friend.
Coming after was Inspector Fin and Beverly. The two didn’t cause much uproar, other than admiration for how good-looking they were.
The last couple of the day was Damien and Kimberly. Alpha Chaos’ ex-enemy, engaged to his second sister is indeed something that is hard to swallow, but who are they to make a sound? Damien is as bad as Alpha Chaos. Just because he hadn’t caused trouble in months doesn’t mean he can’t bite whoever speaks bad of him, they thought.
The last person from the second branch of the Lu family to walk down the red carpet, was Mr. Valen!
The young child had his hands tucked in his pockets. He wore a white shirt on black pants. Just like his father, his first few buttons were open. His long hair was combed to the side, covering his right eye as always.
Behind him were five guards, comprising Code 2, 5, 10, Yellow and Blue. The six of them gave off a nonchalant but powerful presence that couldn’t be ignored.
Cameras rolled. Flashlights rained as reporters and fans took endless pictures of the cute and sweet child. Words couldn’t describe how thrilled they were. If only he was not a child… Some sighed.
