Chapter 590, Sense of Ritual
"Today, I'm going to give you my best daughter, but before I can do that, I need to make sure you know that it took me and God a long time and effort to make her what she is today."
"So, Brooklyn, I gave her to you." He grabbed Anne's hand and paused again as he handed it to Brooklyn.
He looked up, red eyes
"Until then, you don't mind if I talk about it again, do you?"
"I've worked so hard with God, don't mess me up." Many people were made to laugh by Mark Millaine.
Brooklyn took Anne's hand and nodded at Brooklyn.
"You can rest assured, it won't." Mark Mie looked at Brooklyn and slowly let go of Anne's hand with a complicated expression, then stepped back and back...... Bishop Cremont began to officiate at the wedding, to perform the ceremony.
He praised the preparations for the wedding and made a few jokes before he became serious and began to guide Anne to say the vows to Brooklyn.
When Brooklyn spoke
"I do", a strange feeling is racing and steaming inside. Brooklyn suddenly understood what home was and what responsibility was.
It's as if you've suddenly been stuffed into your head, and you understand it all at once. The groomsmen and bridesmaids handed over the wedding rings and put them on their ring fingers, and the two of them held hands and turned to face the guests, showing the wedding rings on their ring fingers.
The wedding ring was not dazzling, there were no huge diamonds on it, no colorful gemstones, just a metal ring, carved with intricate patterns, which looked mysterious and luxurious.
At the end of the ceremony, the people of the banquet company led everyone back indoors. Here, a banquet venue has already been set up for the ceremony.
To soothing music, Anne and Mark Millaine were the first to complete the first dance. At the end of the song, Mark Millaine led Anne to Brooklyn, handed her to Brooklyn, and the newcomer performed a second dance.
The guests of the first two dances did not participate, but just gathered around to watch, and the third song was played, and everyone walked to their relatives, the other half, or the female and male partners, to join in.
As the number of dancers increased, the atmosphere gradually heated up, and the wedding began to reach a climax. Brooklyn and Anne danced to the edge of the field after their third dance.
Three dances in a row were not easy for Anne. Brooklyn helped Anne to sit down, admiring the dancing of the crowd, and never let go of her clasped hands.
They looked at each other from time to time, and their smiles were full of tenderness and sweetness. The photographer pressed the shutter and faithfully recorded the scene.
It was slowly getting dark, and Albert had already commanded the people of the banquet company to put food and drinks on the table, and those who were tired of dancing only needed to leave the stage to pick up the plate and choose their favorite food, and after replenishing their energy, they could continue to party.
Originally, according to the original wedding process, the dinner was more solemn than now, and the original Brooklyn plan was the most traditional way, returning here after the ceremony, first by relatives and friends, and finally the two sat on the stage, facing everyone, and began to eat.
After Joseph Jr. and the others commissioned the banquet company to organize, the banquet company learned in detail about the relationship between the wedding guests and the two couples, and after learning that only the best friends were invited, the banquet company suggested that it could be more relaxed and comfortable, and there was no need to fully follow the sense of ceremony.
So the dinner was changed to a buffet format. Brooklyn helped Anne pick out the food, and then the two of them got together and whispered while enjoying dinner, which was very relaxing indeed.
Occasionally, someone would come up from the dance floor and say a few words to the two of them, saying a blessing, and the two would always respond with a smile on their faces.
When he felt that he had regained the energy he had spent the day, Brooklyn helped Anne get some desserts, and just in time to see the Dexters, he got up and walked over.
Dexter's son was born in the first half of the year. After having a son, the famous Bay Area killer completely disappeared.
At this time, this guy who once gave NYpd a headache was holding a plate, smiling and distributing food to his stepson and stepdaughter, and Rita Morgan next to him was holding their son and looking at Dexter tenderly.
They never went on the dance floor. Back in the third dance, Rita wanted to participate in it at one point, but was rejected by Dexter.
"Hi, Rita." Brooklyn walked over and said hello to Rita. Rita was inconvenient to shake hands because she was holding the child, so she nodded at Brooklyn and congratulated Brooklyn.
In front of him, Dexter, who was smiling as he distributed food to his stepson and stepdaughter, accurately split the cake in two, placed it on the plates of the two children, then patted them on the back, straightened up and placed the plate on the table next to him.
"Dexter." Brooklyn greeted him with a smile. Dix stared at Brooklyn fixedly, first expressionless, then his facial muscles moving, and the whole person came alive again.
He smiled and shook Brooklyn's outstretched hand.
"Congratulations, Judge Brooklyn Lee." Dexter said.
"Thank you." Brooklyn nodded, looking as usual
"Although I have already said it, I still want to thank you, if it wasn't for you that night, I'm afraid I would have died." Dexter's standardized smile changed, and the corners of his mouth flattened for a moment, then raised again.
"No, you've already thanked you." Only the two of them knew that Dexter didn't intend to save Brooklyn in the first place that night, and even only Dexter himself knew, and his first thought was to kill Brooklyn.
The only person in the world who knows that he is a killer in the Bay Area is Brooklyn, killing Brooklyn, and from then on this secret can be completely buried, and he can live a real ordinary life.
Instead of being scared and scared all day long, as he is now, he needs to keep an eye on what's going on in Brooklyn.
As if he had forgotten that there was such a thing, Brooklyn chatted with the Dexters familiarly.
He praised Dexter's stepson and stepdaughter for being smart and sensible, and leaned down amiably, pretending to whisper to the two of them as if she were whispering.
"I'll tell you a secret, do you see that person?" Brooklyn gestured to Albert not far away, and continued after the two children nodded
"If you have anything to eat, or what you need, go to him, and he will help you make your wish come true."
"But remember, don't tell anyone, go quietly." The two children nodded excitedly, couldn't help but shout, and then hurriedly covered their mouths with their hands.
"Alright, remember to be quiet." Brooklyn admonished, and the two children, who had been impatient for a long time, hurriedly looked up at Rita and Dexter.
Dexter had something else to say, and Rita had already nodded his head in agreement.
“Yeah!” The children cheered and trotted towards Albert, who led them towards the kitchen after glancing in this direction.
Dexter witnessed the whole process, and he had his back to Rita, and the smile on his face was all gone.
He was like an enraged bull, his back muscles tense, and his eyes fixed on the direction in which the two children had disappeared.
"The little one is so cute." Brooklyn teases Dexter's son twice and asks Rita
"What's his name?"
"Harrison." Rita replied
"Harrison Morgan." Harrison wasn't afraid of life, and even leaned over to hook Brooklyn's fingers after Brooklyn stopped teasing.
Dexter turned around, walked between the two, naturally took the child from Rita's arms, and quietly took a half step back, distanced himself from Brooklyn, and said to Rita
"Rita, I'll hug you for a while." Rita didn't have anything to worry about, and after handing Harrison to Dexter, she took two steps with her plate in hand, and quickly found the person she was chatting with, and in a short time she was in the crowd.
Dexter withdrew his gaze and looked at Brooklyn with a very cold look. Brooklyn reached out to hug Harrison, but Dexter dodged him.
"You saved me, I won't reveal your secret." Brooklyn tries to appease Dexter and make him not so hostile.
This guy is like a lion whose status is threatened, and his whole body exudes the smell of no one to enter.
Even Harrison in his arms was affected, and he was happy just now, but now he has a flat mouth and may cry at any moment.
Dexter looked Brooklyn up and down and whispered
"That's right, I saved you, and we're even." Brooklyn nodded, very skeptical, why did he accept the invitation if he had such a big opinion about himself.
"If you are in trouble, or if you need anything, you can come to me." Brooklyn habitually touched his pocket, and then remembered that he was wearing a gown.
He lowered his hand and said
"You know my phone, right? Or go to E.. It's okay for Y to find me. My life is more precious than your secrets. Dexter still looked at Brooklyn with a wary gaze.
Brooklyn waved his hand, took two steps back, and left. He invited Dexter, in addition to saving his life, with the purpose of expressing his attitude to Dexter.
Although Dexter now has a happy family and a happy life, and it is unlikely that he will become a Bay Area killer again, no one can say whether he will wake up one morning and suddenly think that there are still people in this world who know his secret, and then give Brooklyn a surprise attack.
Although this is a small probability event, or even almost impossible to happen, it is better to avoid it.
He is now thriving in his career, his child is about to be born, he is in harmony with Anne, he has three or five friends, he has money and power, and he really doesn't want to take risks.
Show your attitude, and it will be better if the well water does not interfere with the river water in the future. Compared with opponents of the same level such as Heather Gerken and Burke Forsman, Brooklyn is actually more afraid of the hostility of people like Dexter.
Competing with opponents of the same level, it is understandable to lose, he has tried everything he should try, and he has had what he should have, and he has no regrets.
But if it was planted in Dexter's hands, it would be unbearable for Brooklyn. He only felt humiliation.
The goal was achieved, and Brooklyn reached Winston's side. At this time, Mr. Governor was gathering next to the circle of relatives and friends of Anne's bridesmaid group with a drink, listening to gossip.
Brooklyn said hello to the bridesmaids' group and took Winston away, picking up Frank along the way.
Somehow, Frank's youngest son and Taylor got together, and the two of them were talking and laughing over food.
After chatting with two close comrades, Brooklyn walked up to Mark Mee again. Mark Milley seems to be addicted to acting, blowing his beard and glaring at Brooklyn, faithfully playing the role of an old father who loves his daughter.
Brooklyn admired Mark Millay's dedication and gave him a thumbs up for his strong sense of faith. Mark Millay rolled his eyes and whispered
"Do you know the candidates put forward by the Democratic Party?" He tilted his head, held his wine glass, and spoke in a very small voice, looking like a good father-in-law who was admonishing his son-in-law from a distance.
Brooklyn shook her head
"I don't know. What's wrong? ”
"You need to get acquainted." Mark Millaine squinted and whispered
"It's important to you."
"He has the support of not only the Democratic Party, but also the military, and it is impossible for the current president, Mr. President, to be re-elected." He was adamant.
After speaking, Mark Milai drank all the wine, enthusiastically joined a chat group not far away, and sighed about his reluctance to his daughter, which caused the chat group to comfort for a while.
Brooklyn thought for a moment, suppressed his doubts, and went to bAU. bAU seems to have changed again, in addition to Aaron Hooch, David Rossi, Spencer Ryder, Derrick Morgan, and JJ, there is also a chubby girl, and a girl with long blond brown hair.
Emily from the last time she was here is gone. bAU's job is dangerous, and Brooklyn doesn't ask Emily about it.
He first greeted Huo Qi and David Rossi, and under David Rossi's introduction, he learned that the chubby girl was Garcia, who had never shown up and only provided remote support.
and the girl with long blond brown hair, the new trainee Detective Ashley Seaver. Garcia is a personality on the phone, lively and a little shy, babbling, not annoying.
Brooklyn thanked a few people for coming - bAU is very busy, and it is really not easy to find time to attend the wedding.
After a few conversations with a few people, Frank came running over and graciously invited them to stay in New York for a few more days.
Brooklyn saw through Frank's careful thinking at a glance. The next step in NYpd's cleanup of the gang is to catch the criminals.
With a population of nearly 10 million, New York looks glamorous on the surface, but it's also the best place to hide from dirt.
No one knows how many heinous criminals are hiding in New York.
"I've heard that bAU has been busy, so it's a good time to take a break." Frank said with a smile.
Brooklyn Interface
"That's right, you can also provide some guidance for the NYpd by the way."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Frank hurriedly chimed in. The two sang and harmonized, dumbfounded the bUA crowd, and didn't wait for a refusal before mentioning their decision.
