BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116
Chapter 116
"How do I look?" Aurora asked with an innocent grin on her face.
Zach stepped back a little to get the full view of Aurora’s dress.
Aurora was wearing an A-line mermaid, which looked like a second skin on her body. The deep-sea green color with the upper part covered with gems shined whenever light reflected on them.
However, the most eye-catching thing about her outfit was the see-through transparent-net-sleeves and the open slit part of the one side of her leg on the lower area below her knees, making her legs look longer.
Not only that, her hairstyle was different too.
Aurora always had loose hairs with no style, but currently, her hairs were tied up into a bun. A thin little braid was wrapped around the bun, and it was pinned with flowers— which looked like hairpins at first, but they were real flowers. From the sides, her hair lace and baby hair were twirled around, making her look more mature than she already was.
Zach couldn’t take his eyes off Aurora.
"Uhh..." Aurora calmly waited for Zach to answer, but she soon ran out of patience and asked once again, "Do you not like it? Or is my hair bad? I will change them—"
"No. You look perfect tonight. It’s just... I think I don’t deserve this..."
"...." Aurora stared at Zach in surprise.
’Did I say something weird?’ Zach asked himself.
He kept staring at Aurora and shook his head.
"I will tell you everything later, but first..." Zach pulled Aurora close to him and kissed her on the lips.
At first, Aurora was surprised. She tried to push Zach back because kissing in front of hundreds of people was embarrassing even for her.
However, when she glanced around from the corners of her eyes, she noticed that everyone was busy with their own thing, and no one was looking at them. So, she wrapped her arms around Zach’s neck and kissed him back.
’Argh! These two seriously need a break!’ Aria let out a deep sigh in disbelief.
Aurora was kissing Zach while glancing round from the corner of her eyes to make sure no one was looking at them. But she forgot to look to her right where Aria was glaring at them. Or perhaps, she ignored her.
Either way, it didn’t matter because they stopped kissing soon after.
"That kiss was..." Aurora touched her lips with her fingers and said, "It felt different."
’I need to kiss Aurora to cleanse my mouth after all those kisses from Aquarius. But I feel like I kissed her more than she kissed me.’
Zach still couldn’t forget the feeling when Aquarius’ lips touched his lips for the first time.
"Ahem!" Aria cleared her throat to get Zach’s attention, as though she wanted Zach to notice her dress and praise her beauty.
Aria was wearing an off-white chiffon floor-length gown embedded with beautiful ivory pearls. The V-shaped strapless neck area was giving a little sneak of her cleavage. The cape around her hands made Aria look more delicate, as though she would break if she was treated harshly.
Aria turned around because someone bumped into her, resulting in Zach seeing the back of her dress.
It was a web-lace design that made her pale skin look more attractive. However, the left side of her back was covered with her hair, and the right side of her hair was at the front. She had pearl pins on her hair, which were real pearls.
Zach had the same look on his face when he was checking out Aurora.
Aurora noticed Zach was staring at Aria with a passionate gaze, so she nudged him to distract him.
Zach was back to his senses, but the damage was already done.
"You still haven’t answered me." Aurora spun around and asked, "How do I look?"
"You look like a real princess," Zach replied with a grin.
"I am a princess!" Aurora uttered with a surprised yet angry look on her face.
"But you usually don’t look like one because you wear the same outfit all the time," Zach remarked. "But of course, you look cute and beautiful, no matter what you wear."
"Ahem!" Once Zach had finished praising Aurora, Aria once again cleared her throat to get Zach’s attention.
"Uhh... yeah." Zach looked into Aria’s eyes and said, "If I be completely honest with you... they don’t suit you."
"...." Aria’s face turned grumpy, and she looked disappointed.
Even Aurora was shocked after hearing Zach’s comment, and she didn’t like it.
"But..." Zach continued, "You look hot and sexy."
Zach said the outfit didn’t suit her because he was used to seeing Aria in her daily outfit. And now, he suddenly saw her wearing a sexy and seductive outfit, which would have been okay if she wasn’t his aunt.
The dissatisfaction from Aria’s face vanished, and it turned into a smile.
CLAP~CLAP!
A clap rang into the hall as everyone stopped doing what they were doing and turned their faces to the source of the clap.
As expected, it was Aquitius the sixth. Rilu was standing on his right, and Aquarius was standing at her left.
"Attention, my dear guests! Today, we all have gathered here for two occasions. One is, of course, my daughter Aquarius’ nineteenth birthday."
After a brief pause, he continued, "Today was the day when I had shed my tears of happiness nineteen years ago. And up to this day, I haven’t shed a tear."
"However!" he continued. "I am going to shed some tears because of the second reason for this celebration."
’Oh? It must be something important and emotional if he is going to cry,’ Zach uttered to himself.
’But what could it be? Why would a father cry unless...’
It was at this moment that Zach knew what was going to happen next.
"I am thrilled to announce my daughter’s marriage with today’s champion— Zach!"
After the sixth said that, the focus-light turned to Zach.
’Can’t I rest in peace for once?!’
