At that moment, Neil and Aurelia had put on the traditional wedding attire from Southeast Aciatic. They stood
before the mirror.
The man was tall and handsome, while the lady was petite and beautiful.
The clothes felt as if they were tailor-made for them. They fitted them perfectly.
It was Aurelia’s first time wearing this, and her smile was extraordinarily bright.
In reality, as long as she was standing next to Neil, she would be happy.
Meanwhile, Neil was secretly checking her out from the mirror. His stare did not move for even a second.
Aurelia was excited, “Uncle, am I pretty?”
He showed a sincere smile that came from the bottom of his heart and said, “Yes.”
“Prettier than my nomadic attire?”
“Yes.”
That was the truth. He realized that the clothes from Southeast Aciatic fit her.
She was petite, similar to the size of the local girls.

from her back.
Neil took out his phone to take pictures.
Aurelia stood next to him and showed a peace sign. He rolled his eyes. “That’s so lame!”
“Lame?” Aurelia had just learned that term lately, so she rolled her eyes back at him. “Then teach me the cool
sign!”
He smiled in pride and made a heart with his thumb and index finger.
“See? We do this when we take pictures!”
Aurelia looked away, so he moved his “heart” in front of her.
“See, this is called finger heart. Get it?
“Aurelia, you’re so not cool!”
“Uncle, why are you so talkative today? They say a woman is like 300 sparrows, but I think you’re 900 sparrows!”
“You naughty girl!”
Neil rolled up his sleeves to teach her a lesson, and Aurelia ran away while laughing.
They were laughing around the table.
There were pearls in the traditional attire. The light of happiness shone under the sun.
However, Neil suddenly stopped!
He seemed to have seen a shadow flashing through the store entrance.
He was quickly alerted and chased after the person. However, he did not see anyone suspicious after running for a
while.
The market remained crowded, and customers were checking out the stores.
Everyone was doing what they were doing as usual.
Neil frowned.
At that moment, Aurelia ran to him, looking rather nervous. “What happened?”
“Nothing,” Neil said flatly. “Perhaps I was nervous to think that someone was sneaking photos of us.”
She looked around but did not see anything out of the ordinary.
“Perhaps it’s the damned paparazzi.” He held her. “Let’s go back to remove the clothes.”
She nodded and returned to the store with him.

In the afternoon, Charlie knocked on Cordelia’s door just when she was trying to rest after getting little Zuko to
sleep.
“Ma’am.”
“It’s you, Charlie.” She smiled. “Come in!”
“I won’t enter,” he said respectfully. “I’m just here to tell you that Mr. Hamerton is with your father. He’s in the
office helping him sort out some documents. He said he’d come home late.”
“Okay, got it.” Cordelia nodded.
“And this…”
He took out an invitation card.
There was an orchid on the pale blue cover. It was clean and elegant.
However, the gold stamping mark on the bottom right revealed the extraordinary status of the person who had
sent the invitation.
“Princess Victoria Charles’ subordinate sent this.” Charlie looked rather complicated as he spoke. “Ma’am, the
princess invited you to The Royal Garden for tea. Please… be careful!”
