Chapter 150
Johanna walked out and nodded to Theron and Vanessa.
“Theron, Jasmin figured it out.”
Theron breathed a sigh of relief, took out the marriage certificate, “Mr. Schmidt has agreed, we’ll go get the marriage license this afternoon, the wedding…”
Johanna listened to Theron’s words, her heart started racing uncontrollably.
She finally took this step.
Before, they were just getting married with Theron, now there’s no Lizzie between them. In the future, after spending so much time together, how could they not have feelings for each other?
However, Theron’s low voice rang out again, hitting me like a bucket of cold water.
“The wedding… let’s just call it off.”
The color drained from Johanna’s face in an instant. She bit her lower lip tightly, almost digging her fingertips into her palm.
She knew Theron only married her now because she was “Efren’s fiancee“, so they didn’t have a wedding.
But this was her only wedding in her life!
Which woman doesn’t want to have a memorable wedding?
In order to maintain her gentle, understanding, and indifferent image,

she had to suppress all her true emotions.
However, not doing it now doesn’t mean it can’t be done later
As long as she said she regretted not being able to have a wedding with Efren, and asked Theron to stand in for her, he would agree. right?
Johanna curved her lips and put on a gentle smile on her face again.
She nodded slightly, “Yeah, I’ll go with your plan. The situation is special now, so let’s keep it simple.”
Vanessa was not happy, “Hey, we have to do it! Johanna, don’t listen to Theron’s nonsense! You may be pregnant and not feeling well, but we have to book a few tables at the restaurant, invite close colleagues and friends, and have a lively party! And with me helping out, you definitely won’t be tired.”
Vanessa enthusiastically grabbed Johanna’s hand and gave it a firm pat on the back, “Don’t worry, this is just at the Equinox Research Institute. Once you have the baby and return to the village with Theron, we’ll have a big celebration!”
Johanna nodded with a smile, looking very mature and sensible.
“Thank you, Madam Howland, you’re so kind to me.”
It’s settled then. Time flies, and before we knew it, the day Theron and Johanna agreed to get married officially arrived.
There was no wedding, but at Vanessa’s insistence, he booked three tables at the restaurant.
Let Zaire be the witness at the wedding, along with a few colleagues, subordinates, and two close colleagues of Adrienne at Equinox Research Laboratory, Johanna.
When the restaurant heard it was a military wedding, they were quite thoughtful and put up two “double happiness” signs in the lobby
But the groom and bride sitting at the main table kept a bit of distance) and there was a kind of indescribable awkwardness and dullness in the air.
Theron remained calm, showing no emotions on his face, just
occasionally picking up his glass and mechanically going through the motions.
Johanna was wearing a brand new bright red wool coat, it was slim- fitting and very stylish.
The news that she was pregnant had already spread at the Equinox Research Institute. She was wearing tight clothes, and you couldn’t tell at all that she was pregnant.
She sensed Theron’s stiffness, but she kept a polite and gentle smile on her face, trying to play the role of a happy bride.
Her acting was great, but no one noticed. She holding onto
Theron’s arm so tightly,

was
Only Vanessa was the one who truly and genuinely smiled throughout the whole event.
She greeted everyone and said, “Eat and drink well.”
With her enthusiastic greeting and Theron’s wedding, everyone gradually let go of the awkwardness and the atmosphere became lively.
Just then, halfway through the wedding, when things were starting to relax and people were eating and drinking, the door of the restaurant suddenly “creaked” open as someone pushed it from the outside.
A thin and slightly limping figure, against the light, slowly walked in

Lizzie leaned on crutches, her footsteps sounding unique artd very attention–grabbing.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
When Johanna saw the face of the newcomer, her smile froze instantly.
Theron’s hand holding the wine glass tightened suddenly.
Vanessa’s smile froze on her face, she looked at the door in confusion.
Lizzie actually showed up!
Johanna felt surprised, but also kind of expected – “Lizzie must be feeling resentful, that’s why she came over to cause trouble, right?”
She curled her lips, with a victorious smile.
When she saw Theron next to her, his eyes had been glued to Lizzie since she walked in, and her mood plummeted.
Just like that, she smiled again.
