---- Chapter 9 Hesitating, Angela asked, "Right away?" Julian didn't think there was anything wrong with that. "We're legally married now, and we'll be holding our wedding ceremony in two days. It's only right for me to visit them before that." Julian was well-versed in proper etiquette. Angela had no choice but to tell him the truth. "My family doesn't know about my marriage to you. I'll bring you over tomorrow instead. I should at least give them some time to mentally prepare themselves. " Alas, she'd gotten married on a whim and now had to pay the consequences of sorting out the mess created by her impulsiveness. "But we'll need time to set up the wedding venue," Julian said thoughtfully. "I already made the bookings for our wedding ceremony and reception, which will be taking place the day after tomorrow. That means the decorations need to go up tomorrow, ---- and the rehearsal will be tomorrow as well. "Therefore, it's best if we visit your family today."

Julian checked his watch before saying, "I'll need to prepare a few things first. Why don't you have a drink at the café nearby and rest for a bit? I'll be right back."

Only then did she see the message from Carl. "Where are you? Don't you know we're supposed to be having our wedding rehearsal?" ---- That message alone was laced with Carl's usual tone, the one tinged with dissatisfaction and condescension. Angela remained expressionless as she scrolled to the next unread message, which was also from him. "You're the one who's dying to get married, so why are you pulling a disappearing act now, huh? If you don't come back right this instant, I'm canceling the wedding." "Even if you want to throw a tantrum, Angela, you should know your limits. Do you think marriage is a game?" "Fine. You're the one who refused to show up. Don't say I didn't give you a chance to make things right!" Carl seemed to think Angela would do whatever it took to marry him. Well, she couldn't even be bothered to click into the messages so that they would be marked as read. In the process of deleting them, she accidentally clicked into his Instagram account-only to find that he didn't seem to be as anxious as his messages implied.
