The Seed of the Heir
Chapter 18

That night, even though Dea and Julian were in the same place. However, the people around them did not let them be together. As at this time, as the women were watching Dea perform various rituals to welcome tomorrow, Julian came over.

The man was still curious about their unfinished conversation yesterday afternoon. Not only that, Julian was also curious as to why the girl did not want to take a call from him.

"Dea, may I-" Not yet finished the man said, the women who were sitting around Dea's body, immediately drove him away.

"Hush! Hush! There-there!" said one of them while laughing.

"Yes, the groom can't stand it anymore" chirped the others, who were then joined by their laughter.

Hearing the rants and laughing of the women who surrounded Dea like a personal bodyguard, made Julian ashamed and undo his intention to approach the girl. He walked backwards and left the place while smiling wryly.

"That's it, Julian. Be patient, tomorrow you'll meet at the security deposit soon," teased his best friend as he patted Julian's shoulder gently.

Julian chuckled softly. "Yes, you're right."

"By the way, Dea looks pretty, yeah."

Julian reflexively shook his best friend's head while bending his face. "What did you say?"

The man chuckled. "Oh my goodness, Julian. I'm just saying Dea's getting prettier. I didn't mean anything, anyway. Anyway, how will Dea be like this ugly me!"

"Remember, yes! Dea is mine, only mine!" chirp Julian while bending his face.

"Yes-yes, alright!"

To esokan day.

The wedding ceremony was finally held. The neighbors greeted him with great enthusiasm. Early in the morning they had gathered together and helped Julian's family prepare everything.

The women are busy arranging various kinds of dishes on a large table, which will be served to the invited guests. The men were busy lifting the food and drink from the kitchen to the courtyard, where Julian and Dea's wedding party was held.

"Hows it? Pretty mom, isn't she, Virna?" susi asked her daughter.

"B, anyway!" chirp Virna while continuing to hold her phone in front of her face and do various kinds of selfie poses.

"Ish, you! I won't give you any more pocket money, remember that!" annoyed Susi with her perfectly bent face.

After hearing the threat from the Mother, Virna was forced to lie and say that Susi looked very beautiful that day. "Yes, I'm sorry Virna. Beautiful mom, really! Very pretty! Right, Dad?"

Virna tried to ask for support from Herman, who had been silent since then while staring blankly at the magnificent uninhabited pelaminan.

"Dad! You hear I'm not?" virna's upset that Herman didn't answer her.

"Ah, yes, Son. Yes, you are right" said Herman with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, in a room that is used specifically to decorate the bride.

Dea just finished. The girl looks very beautiful with a white wedding dress mixed with silver. The makeup that now adorns her beautiful face, makes Dea look to be the perfect bride without any blemish.

So did Julian. The man looked different than usual. Dressed in a full-color suit matching Dea's wedding dress, the man looks like a prince.

Finished, the Perias Bride immediately lead Dea to the pelaminan. So did Julian. The man caught up and is now walking behind his future wife.

Upon arrival at the pelaminan, Dea and Julian immediately sat on their thrones side by side. While both Julian's parents were sitting on the right and on the left there were Herman and Susi as guardians of the bride's side.

There was no meaningful chatter between Dea and Julian. During the interview, Dea kept quiet and only occasionally smiled if the photographer asked her to smile.

It looked awkward in Julian's eyes at the time. What's more the few times he saw Susi approaching Dea and seemed to continue threatening the girl with her words.

"Dea, what exactly happened to you? Why did you look so weird these days?" julian half-whispered to Dea who was sitting next to him with her head down.

Dea did not answer. Her lips were polished with pink lipstick that looked tightly locked. There was only the sound of a long breath coming out of his nose.
