Chapter 13: The Comeback
As for the engagement, Demos decided to also hold the ceremony in the form of a circumnavigation of the Mediterranean.
He chartered a whole boat with a local rental company and extended invitations to his peers in the European art world as well as business partners. Finally, the news media were contacted.
In fact, even if he doesn't make a fuss himself, the news reporter will take the initiative to pursue this major news that is absolutely hype.
"Sevier Black", Demos's human identity is not only a famous painter in the European oil painting industry today, but he is also known as a head and face in the business world.
At present, his investments include a comprehensive securities company and a film and television company. Not only that, but he also took a stake in the development of a gold mine and owned a small collection of antiquities.
In Greece, like many single aristocrats, he lived a free and easy life for many years, and there were many beautiful women around him.
Suddenly, one day, this handsome but attentive man who made the girl admire the young woman ~ lewd announced his engagement to the media in a high-profile manner, and this news will naturally cause a sensation in the press.
In addition to having great expectations for the engagement day ceremony, what those reporters wanted to do more was to catch a glimpse of the bride-to-be.
They were very curious about what kind of fairy-like beauty could touch the heart of that rebellious man, so that he finally had the idea of getting married and starting a family.
——
While Demos was busy with the celebrations, he took Carette around the comprador items of luxury stores and accessories.
In order to customize their wedding rings, they went to a Cartier jewelry store this morning.
There, they selected three loose South African diamonds, each of which achieved the highest purity.
Originally, Demos chose a two-carat diamond for Carret. And because Caret didn't like to be ostentatious, he chose an extra one-carat diamond, intending to make her a ring for daily wear.
In addition, the diamond he bought for himself was also a carat. He thinks that for a normal man, a men's ring made of a carat diamond is already very conspicuous.
After the center stone was chosen, the clerk measured the circumference of the ring fingers of Demos and Carret. Together with the three loose diamonds, the data will be sent to the relevant jewellery factory to be forged into three unique platinum wedding bands.
At the request of Demos, the staff made the women's rings used for the day of the ceremony into a stacked and top-down ring. A two-carat loose diamond is used as the center stone, and a platinum band is set with meshed diamonds throughout the perimeter.
In addition, the one-carat diamond ring that is worn on weekdays is in the most concise but beautiful snowflake petal six-finger support style.
After leaving the jewelry store and having lunch, Demos and Carreta arrived at the bridal shop to try on the dress needed for the ceremony.
......
"Miss, what do you think of this one, do you want to try another style?"
Karette was awakened by the clerk's questioning voice, and suddenly reacted from a stunned state.
"Ahh......h Very good......"
She held her phone in one hand and replied absentmindedly.
"Why don't you try the wedding dresses for the year-end wedding together, we have recently added several sets of the latest European fashion styles to our store. The clerk took the opportunity to make a clever pitch.
"Oh, no. Carette replied coldly.
The wedding ceremony in the church four months later was naturally planned by Demos.
But can I really accompany him to that time? Perhaps, the planned wedding is destined to miss me......
At the thought of this, Kareta felt inexplicably sad. All she knew was that while four months wasn't a long time, it was enough to threaten Zeus' patience. Therefore, the time he gave her would not be interrupted for four months......
Distraught, Carette bowed her head and skillfully operated the mobile phone system a few times, completely deleting Jose's call history.
She returned to the front store with trepidation.
Demos had already tried on a men's dress and waited in the store.
Because he was used to wearing black clothes and clerical dresses, Demos didn't pay much attention to the clothes he wore during the ceremony, as long as he was elegant and decent, and matched Carret's dress.
He wears a black suit with a small swallowtail style, fitted with a traditional white shirt. Because he was engaged, the store matched him with a sky blue bow tie.
Seeing Carette come out of the backstage of the store, Demos greeted her with a smile. He looked at her again, and his expression was extremely amazing.
"You're so handsome. Kareta smiled at him and gave him a gentle compliment, reaching out to help him straighten his bow tie.
Demos noticed that her mental state at the moment was not as full as when she first entered the store, and no matter how she looked at it, it seemed a little dull.
"What's wrong?" he asked her with concern, "Karette, you don't look good. ”
"Nothing... I'm fine......"
Kareta was even more alarmed by the question, and she covered it with one hand over half of her face to cover it, her eyes twinkling.
Demos observed for a few more seconds and asked her:
"Is this dress uncomfortable? Do you want to change the number?"
"No... No need. I really think it's pretty good......"
Kareta looked to the side, knowing that the reason for her bad state at the moment was just a phone call that shouldn't have been called.
But this matter must not be told to Demos truthfully.
"You like this dress?"
Demos leaned in, half-hugged Karet, and asked in a soft voice.
"Well, that's really good......"
"I think it looks beautiful on you, buy it!"
"Buy?" Carette was stunned by Demos's sudden decision, "No need, it's just for the day's ritual anyway, just rent it." ”
"It's really beautiful, so I bought it as a souvenir of my engagement. ”
He smiled at her, and then asked the clerk next to him:
"How many days does it take to re-order one for my wife?"
The female clerk thought for a few seconds and replied with a smile:
"Sir, because this dress needs to be manually embroidered and embedded with crystals, it will take about half a month at the earliest, and there will be an additional charge if you rush to make it. ”
"No problem, just order it as you said. ”
"Don't worry, sir, now ask this lady and me to go backstage and take the measurements. ”
"But......" Karette hesitated.
"Go ahead. When we get married, I'll buy you a wedding dress!"
Demos's confident answer made Carette even more troubled, and she hurriedly turned around and hurried backstage, for fear that her ever-changing expression would attract Demos's attention again.
Can we really hold hands together and walk to that moment together?
......
All afternoon, José stared at his silent phone.
After his call to Carreta was naturally disconnected in a "missed" state, he never had the courage to redial.
Jose couldn't tell how he was feeling at the moment.
Is it sad that Carette has deceived her again?Or is she angry that her senior has taken her love?
However, if the heart hurts, why can't I shed a tear at this time?
If the mood is angry, why do you stay so quiet in this small room, not wanting to seek any way to vent?
During the meditation, José recalled the fantastical scenes he experienced in Greece and the life-and-death separations with Carrete.
Suddenly, a thought rose in his numb heart, fierce and fierce like a burning fire, but unwavering.
Mechanically manipulating the mouse, he searched the booking website for information on the latest flight to Athens.
......
A week later, when José ran out of his room with his suitcase in his hands to say goodbye to his gray-haired parents, who were nearing their twilight years, they were once again stunned by their son's neurotic behavior.
Especially José's mother, standing stupidly in front of her son, did not expect to rush over to snatch back the luggage in the child's hands. The somewhat dim eyes always looked at Jose, full of puzzlement.
I can't help it——
Jose's father didn't want to persuade him anymore, but at this time he was more concerned about his wife's body. was afraid that she would be shocked by her son's sudden departure and have a heart attack, so she just stood aside and held her wife.
So, under the reluctant eyes of the two old men, Jose once again embarked on a long journey-
José took off from the capital's airport in the evening and arrived in Athens after transferring from Paris the same way.
As soon as Jose got off the plane, he found his luggage from the check-in desk, and then completed the relevant formalities and hurried out of the terminal.
It was the height of summer in the Mediterranean, and Greece, known as the "balcony of Europe", was warm and dry, but he felt cold and bone-tying.
Jose felt uncomfortable standing at the entrance of the terminal.
After an obvious cold war, he couldn't help but shrink his upper body in his clothes, and the breath of his lips and teeth was actually a little white and cold.
What's going on here-
José was puzzled, squinting his eyes and looking up at the sun hanging high above his head.
In the next second, there was a "bang", and he fell to the ground.
What the hell is going on! My body—
Jose felt like he was being forced to the ground by an invisible force, and now the strange force seemed to be enveloping his body.
No matter how hard he struggled, the force always weighed heavily on him, preventing him from moving his limbs at all.
With a chilling chill, the power had seeped into Jose's body through the pores of his skin. The pressure was eating away at every inch of José's bones, and he couldn't bear the excruciating pain.
"Ahh
Jose's soul was frozen in the moment that power invaded his surroundings. In the last moments of consciousness, José struggled to raise his head from the ground and let out a cry of pain.
"Are you alright, sir?"
"Oops, what's wrong with him?"
The security guards and passengers on duty gathered one after another, and they all thought that the Asian who had suddenly collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious had suddenly had a dark illness.
A security guard tried to approach him, but he crouched down and reached out before he could touch his body, only to see that he suddenly opened his eyes in a state that he had never woken.
The crowd was startled and whispered.
The security guard closest to Jose was also startled, and asked with concern after a slight tone:
"Sir, are you alright? You just passed out, do you want to take you to the hospital for a check-up?"
"I'm fine, thank you very much. ”
José smiled warmly at the security guard, looking gentlemanly and kind, and then stood up from the hard concrete floor with his support.
"Then watch out for yourself, goodbye. ”
The security guard gave Jose another shout before he dispersed with the crowd of onlookers.
Jose straightened his clothes and looked into the distance, his silent face smiling wickedly.
Carret, baby, I'm coming—
