Chapter 975 I Am Not the Bride

It was obvious that Audrey did not mean what she said.

However, she tried her best to make her tone seem calm. There was also a faint smile on her face

Gerald looked at her pretty face and sighed.

He knew Audrey had feelings for him. Indeed, he was aware of it. He knew about it the moment Audrey kissed him after he saved her.

Later on, Audrey’s insistence to become a Watchman also had something to do with Gerald

When she joined Night Watch, she showed her outstanding talent. In just two and a half years, she had reached the level of Half-Step Flame Decay. In terms of talent, she was already equal to members who had great talents like Gerald

“Thank you!” Gerald smiled. Audrey did not mention what happened back then, so he naturally had to pretend to be clueless about it as well.

Now that he had confirmed that he was going to marry Valery, it was natural for him not to think about other people anymore.

“When is the wedding? Why didn’t you invite me personally? You’re not being thoughtful,” Audrey said as she punched Gerald briefly.

“The date hasn’t been decided yet. If it’s decided, I’ll definitely invite you,” Gerald said.

“Forget it then.” Audrey smiled again before adding, “I’m just trying to see if you’re being thoughtful. I don’t have time to attend it for the time being. Recently, I’ve been leading the members of my team on

some missions, and several of them have reached the super level.”

After that, she continued, “Ever since I learned martial arts, I’ve found the path to my future. I think martial arts suits me best.” Audrey smiled and added, “By the way, I plan to go to Havotune with all of you in a few months!”

Gerald frowned. He had agreed to let Audrey join Night Watch because he wanted to keep her safe. He did not expect Audrey to get to this level either.

Now, Audrey was an important member of the next generation of American Night Watch right after Gerald and Triston.

“You haven’t reached the level of Flame Decay yet. Moreover, we’ll be in great danger the next time we go there,” Gerald said with a frown.

The next time they were to go to Havotune, Gerald would most likely start a war with the Four Ancient Families. By then, the City of Phoenix would become a battlefield, and the ability of a Half-Step Flame

Decayer for self-protection would not be enough.

“I’m just going there with all of you. I think martial arts there are flourishing, and I want to find my own path.”

Audrey then added, “When I reach the level of Flame Decay, I’ll fight alongside all of you.”

Gerald looked at Audrey and the former said with a frown, “You have to ask Mr. Herman about this. That world is not as simple as you think. Even now, there are many things I don’t understand. I just know a little about it. It’s too risky for you to go there now. No matter what, you can think about going there after you reach the level of Flame Decay.”

“My father already agreed to let me go,” Audrey said with a smile. After that, she added, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask him when you get married.”

Gerald looked at Audrey.

“Don’t worry. I’m no longer the ignorant girl I used to be. I can protect myself,” Audrey replied.

Beep, beep, beep.

Just then, her phone rang. Audrey picked it up and spoke into it. Then, she stood up. “All right, my team member has called me. I have to deal with some things first. I’ll see all of you when it’s time to leave.”

After saying that, she reached out and shook Gerald’s hand. Then, she turned around and walked away.

There was a hint of tears brimming in her eyes.

She tried her best not to show any emotions throughout the whole process, but when she turned around, she

nearly could not hold back her emotions anymore.

Then, when she took two steps forward, she felt her vision getting blurry……

Gerald sighed as he watched her leave. Then, he stood up and walked in the opposite direction.

After taking a few steps, Audrey stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Gerald’s back. She murmured.

“If… If I had joined Night Watch earlier, if I could stay by your side all the time, maybe you would have been

with me instead of Dr. Manning!”

After saying that, she smiled and shook her head. “It’s a pity that it is all too late.”

She wiped the corners of her eyes and let her gaze become determined. Then, she said, “I joined Night Watch because you’re here. I used to fantasize that one day I would stand by your side and fight with you side by side, instead of you helping to shoulder everything for me. I also fantasized that one day, you would be surrounded and seriously injured, and I would come to save you like a hero, just like the way you saved me when you went to the mountain alone.”

“Now, I seem to have lost you forever. I only have martial arts left for the future!” she murmured and tightened the long saber on her back.

Looking at Gerald’s back, her gaze became more determined.

Then, she touched a book in her arms briefly. It was a book of skills that Night Watch had brought back from Burial Ground. It was the book that made her hesitate for a long time to learn martial arts. However, until this moment, she finally made up her mind.

Gerald left Night Watch’s headquarters and took a flight back to Sacramento. For the rest of the days, he was- living quite leisurely. He accompanied his parents every day, drove around the city, and played games with Theo and the others.

Before he knew it, another half month had passed.

Half a month later, Valery finally returned from the North. His wedding date with her was also set to be one month later.

To Gerald’s dismay, Valery had agreed to do a global live broadcast.

Of course, she also had one condition. Her condition was that they would only invite family and friends to the wedding venue. She would not be having other unknown and unrelated people except for the live broadcast group

Naturally, Night Watch agreed.

Later, when Gerald asked her about it, Valery gave a simple reason. If it was broadcasted worldwide, most of the wedding preparations could be done by Night Watch, so she and Gerald could relax a little.

Gerald felt that the reason made sense.

Indeed, since it was going to be broadcast live worldwide, the preparation of the wedding was naturally left to Night Watch. The venue of the wedding was naturally in Sacramento.

Leandro arranged for a luxurious stand-alone mansion as a new house for them. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Gerald was also doing the calculations continuously. Moreover, the invitation cards for most of his family

and friends had started to be sent out.

Night Watch also began to promote the news and date of Gerald and Valery’s wedding in various places. As a hero of countless people, Gerald received blessings from all over the world.

Of course, some people who knew Gerald began to look forward to it.

In a certain mansion area in Sacramento, Doreen was sitting in front of the window. This was her home now.

She sat in front of the window, holding a book in her hand.

Inside the room, there was an aromatic diffuser. On the tablet in front of her, there were some videos of

Valery and Gerald’s wedding photos playing continuously.

They had never heard of the landscapes before, and every photo was beautiful. There were even cars floating in the sky. The two of them took pictures while they were sitting in front of a car, and the car seemed to be customized.

Just the wedding photos alone were the dream of countless women.

“Doreen!” Just then, a voice rang out.

Doreen sighed and hurriedly turned off the tablet in front of her. Then, she turned around and looked behind her.

“Armand, why are you here?” Doreen asked.

Armand cleared his throat and said, “Well, did Gerald send you an invitation to his wedding? If so, can you bring me along?”

“You want to show up at Gerald’s wedding?” Doreen asked with a frown.

There was an awkward expression on Armand’s face. Then, he said, “Yes, I want to show up. After all, Gerald’s reputation in this world is too high now. If I can show up at his wedding, many people will definitely see me because it’s going to be broadcasted live all over the world. When the time comes, it will definitely be much easier for our family to do business. Most people are probably also willing to cooperate with us.”

Doreen was stunned for a moment before a look of disappointment appeared on her face. “You’ve mentioned the family’s business every day. You can even sacrifice everything for the sake of our family. It even includes every single one of your sister’s happiness.”

Then, she looked at him and asked, “But have you ever thought that if you hadn’t pushed Gerald away in the first place, maybe the bride standing next to him would be me now?*
