Chapter 959: My Dear Mother
Sacha held Kai tightly in her arms, “Sister-in-law, you are too cautious. I’m really fine. Kai likes me and jumped into my arms. How could I push him away?”
Freya said, “You can’t indulge him too much, or he’ll become spoilt.”
“You don’t have ten or eight kids. You only have Kai and Morton. It’s okay to spoil them a little,” Sacha retorted.
Sacha pinched Kai’s chin and smiled, “Isn’t that right, Kai?”
Kai blinked his eyes, his two black grape-like eyeballs darting cleverly as he nodded vigorously, “Auntie is right.”
Freya patted Kai’s little bottom.
Luna chimed in, “Although Kai is the oldest among these kids, he’s still young. He deserves more love and care.”
“Mom, did you hear that? Luna and Auntie both want you to love me more,” Kai said.
Freya sighed, “You’re such an ungrateful child. Don’t I love you enough?”
Kai hid in Sacha’s arms, “But Auntie loves me more.”
Freya pretended to be unforgiving, “Fine, then go to Auntie’s house from now on. I’ll just have Morton as my son.”
Kai immediately softened and hurriedly hugged, kissed, and cuddled with her, “Mom, my dear mother loves me the most. The best mother in the world is my mom, and I love her, and she loves me.”
“Sigh,” Sacha teased, “So cheesy.”
Freya pretended not to forgive him, “I’m not a good mother.”
Kai cheekily pressed his face against hers, “You are a good mother, my dear mother.”
Luna teased, “Kai, I’ve got goosebumps all over.”
But Kai ignored her, hugging Freya tightly, “My dear mother.”
Sacha played with his hair, “Kai, what were you all laughing about just now? You seemed so happy.”
Kai truthfully answered, “Auntie Luna just said she wants the stars to be my wife.”
“Tsk tsk,” Sacha couldn’t help but click his tongue, “You’re all… Kai is still so young…”
The makeup artist, who had been listening, chimed in, “People only fertilize their own fields.”
They were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Although Kai didn’t understand what they were laughing about, he laughed along too…

There are taboos at weddings, and pregnant women cannot be around the bride.
Before the wedding started, Sacha left the dressing room.
She was pregnant and needed to be cared for by Freya.
Luna also urged her to go, “There are people here, and Orion has arranged for them.”
Freya nodded.
Neither side had bridesmaids.
Luna’s best friend was only Freya.
Orion had more friends, but most of them were married, and there weren’t many unmarried ones, so there were no groomsmen.
This aspect was skipped.
In the corridor, Orion met them, his face beaming with a smile as if he were the happiest person in the world.
Sacha said to Freya, “See, I told you he would be so happy, his smile goes from ear to ear.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Orion didn’t hide his joy, “Today is my wedding day. It’s normal for me to be happy, right?”
Freya said, “Sure, sure. The bride today is so beautiful. Aren’t you going to see her?”
Orion replied, “But they say the bride and groom can’t see each other before the wedding, right?”
Sacha and Freya were not very clear about these wedding customs, despite being married.
“Let’s go to the hall first.”
Orion nodded, “You go ahead.”
Sacha said, “The bride this year is beautiful, and the groom is handsome too.”
Orion felt a bit embarrassed.
He scratched his head, “Thank you for the compliment.”
“Alright, alright,” Freya said to Sacha, “We should go now and not keep Orion waiting.”
After all, Orion had many things to do today.
“Okay,” Orion replied.
—
Orion wanted to see Luna. Today was their wedding day, so it should be okay for him to see her, right?
He hadn’t seen Luna from yesterday until today.
There was a custom that the bride and groom couldn’t see each other the day before the wedding.
Who came up with this custom?
But for the sake of auspiciousness, they had to follow it.
It added some excitement to the wedding.
He walked towards the makeup room.
Suddenly, Alf came over, “Orion, how did you arrange the seating?”
“What’s wrong?” Orion asked.
“Several people’s seats are not appropriate,” Alf said.
Orion said, “Let’s go check.”
Alf showed him the list, “These few people would be more suitable sitting at the table closest to the head table.”
Orion nodded in agreement.
He looked at Alf, “Sit with the people from the company to prevent any disruptions.”
Alf said, “I understand. You can trust me.”
With the seating arrangements finalized, the auspicious time was approaching.
Orion headed to the hall.
Everything was ready.
They were just waiting for the auspicious time to start the wedding.
Kai eagerly watched, “Mom, when will Aunt Luna arrive? I’m so excited.”
Xander said, “Kai, this isn’t your wedding. Why are you so anxious? Even if you are, it should be Mr. Russo who’s anxious.”
Kai didn’t understand what he meant and replied earnestly, “Aunt Luna will look very beautiful today. I want to see the beautiful bride.”
Xander said, “Let’s see if you’ll be this anxious when it’s your turn to get married.”
Kai said, “I’m still young. But Xander, when will you get a bride?”
Xander fell silent.
He gave Kai a thumbs up, “You know how to hit where it hurts.”
Kai chuckled, “It’s ok. I’m still single.”
Freya said, touching her son’s head, “You’re still young. How can you be single?”
Sacha chimed in, “Our Kai will grow up to be handsomely charming. He won’t have trouble finding a wife. We might even need to fend off all the suitors.”
Xander said, “…”
“Are you saying I’m ugly, and that’s why I don’t have a partner?” Xander asked. “Do I not have a partner purely because of my looks?”
This hit him right in the heart. “This is supposed to be a joyous occasion. Can we not be so harsh?”
“Then find a partner quickly. Let us attend your wedding soon. Don’t be so stingy and refuse to offer us a wedding feast,” Sacha teased. “We can’t wait to drink at your wedding.”
Xander said, “…”
Kai suddenly said, “I already have a wife.”
All eyes turned to him, staring intently.
Especially Elijah.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“Kai,” he tousled his son’s hair.
Xander teased him, “Kai is already married. Who is it? Why don’t I believe it?”
Kai raised his head and answered, “It’s Star. Aunt Luna’s daughter.”
Xander thought it was absurd at first, but upon reflection, it didn’t seem so far-fetched.
After all, Star and Kai were a suitable match in terms of age.
In one night, Star went from sleeping in her bed to becoming someone’s wife!
Sacha patted Xander’s shoulder, “You are so done for. You’re worse than a child.”
Xander said, “Is that what you think?”
There are many women out there, but finding someone with whom you truly connect is not easy.
“I’d rather be single than settle,” he declared.
The auspicious moment arrived.
Everyone quietened down.
The wedding march began to play.
Those attending the wedding were dressed to the nines, and the hotel banquet hall was adorned elegantly with tall floral decorations and ornate chandeliers dangling from the ceiling, creating a magnificent setting.
The ebb and flow of the wedding march, alternately stirring and soothing, was like a beautiful symphony.
The doors opened slowly.
Kai exclaimed, “It’s Aunt Luna.”
