Chapter 71 Jocelyn’s Husband (2)
Afterwards, everyone rose together to clink glasses with the bride and groom, and Gloria was the first to clink her glass to Allen.
But before she could touch it, Allen simply withdrew his hand and drained the wine in his cup with a cold face.
Immediately afterwards, the others joined in, tilting their heads and draining the wine in their own hands.
Gloria wasn’t surprised by her father’s reaction, it was already not easy for him to come today to cooperate with this wedding performance and maintain the decency of the Murphy family as well as the Stewart family.
Therefore, she did not expect that he would give herself any good looks.
She knew very well that they had a tough battle to fight next.
Gloria put down her glass of wine, but did not intend to leave immediately, but continued to look at Jocelyn and said, “Sis, where is my brother-in-law? Didn’t you say before that you were going to bring him to my wedding?”
“Jocelyn, I just wanted to ask you too, why didn’t your husband come?” Allen asked, outwardly looking fine, but in his heart he was extremely unhappy about him not coming.
He felt that Jocelyn’s husband didn’t know the rules at all!
“As a brother-in-law, it’s not appropriate for him to not even come to my wedding, right? He doesn’t know how to behave, does he? Or are you afraid that he’ll embarrass you, so you deliberately didn’t bring him with you?”
Gloria’s words were mean and she had no intention of saving dignity for Jocelyn, she was now even more determined in her heart that Jocelyn’s husband was ugly and of no good status, otherwise she wouldn’t have dared to bring him.
“I think Jocelyn is afraid of losing dignity, so she simply doesn’t bring her husband.” Bella said with a smile.
Even if the elders were present, Bella still wasn’t half afraid.
Just at this time, Gloria’s aunt and uncle walked over arm in arm.
Before Jocelyn opened her mouth, Gloria’s aunt held the back of her chair with both hands and said, “Jocelyn, an ugly son-in-law has to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law after all.”
“You can’t resent him since you have married him, even if he has a humble status.” Aunt said in a serious tone.
She even deliberately raised her pitch to make sure everyone else heard.
With her loud voice, she immediately attracted the attention of the dozen or so people at the nearby tables, and everyone started whispering and talking to each other, discussing what kind of ugly man Jocelyn had married.
Sara was extremely low-key at the moment because of her previous guilt, and just watched silently as her brother-in-law took it out on herself.
All this was deliberately arranged by her and Gloria when they saw that Jocelyn’s husband had not come.
This sister-in-law of hers was not only loud, but also bold, and it was only fitting to use her as a tool to publicise Jocelyn’s scandalous affairs.
The chatter around her, as well as the taunts of Gloria and Gloria’s aunt were doubly uncomfortable for Jocelyn to hear, her face smiling, but cursing them in her heart.
“My husband has a temporary emergency, but he will be here soon.” Jocelyn softly said, and then lowered her head, elegantly eating the cake in front of her.
“Earlier you said that your husband would be here in an hour. It’s been an hour and fifteen minutes, where is he? I see that you are not reliable at all in your words,” Bella added.
Joseph immediately gave Bella a fierce glare.
But Bella didn’t give a damn about him, and made a face directly at him.
“All right, don’t even go too far.” Allen said coldly.
“How is that going too far? I think we’re right. Mr. Murphy, aren’t you even angry? The person Jocelyn found doesn’t even look up to par yet.” Bella continued.
It was at this time that the news spread in the banquet hall.
All of a sudden, the whole world decided that the husband Jocelyn had found was an ugly than.
“It’s a pity that the flowers were actually stuck in cow dung.”
“I think Jocelyn will marry a top-notch high-flying handsome man.”
“Tsk tsk, I heard that her husband is ugly and has a humble status? Tsk tsk … Is Jocelyn’s brain really good? Why does she want to spoil herself like that?”
“What’s the point of looking better than Gloria? It’s a shame to marry someone who isn’t as good as Gloria’s husband.”
Many people started to secretly judge at Jocelyn.
Even though they were restrained enough, Jocelyn could still see it clearly.
For a moment, she felt as if she had become a clown who casually trampled on her life in the eyes of everyone.
However, Jocelyn remained silent, only glancing down at the time, as if everyone around her was transparent.
Although half an hour had passed since the appointed time, she wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t come, because he was always a man who kept his promises.
It might just be that he hadn’t finished with his own business.
She didn’t respond to anyone as she picked up a piece of beef tenderloin for herself and ate it gracefully.
Allen felt equally humiliated, and although he didn’t suspect Jocelyn’s man was ugly, but inwardly he was even more upset with him!
He didn’t even know why his daughter found such a man!
When he saw how calm Jocelyn was, he became even angrier that she didn’t rush him.
Looking at the crowd’s reaction, at this moment Gloria and Sara were so pleased with themselves that they immediately exchanged a glance with each other, before the corners of their mouths secretly curved up in a brilliant curve.
“Alright, have you guys seen him yet? You are annoying.” Allen looked at Bella and Gloria’s aunt and chided them in a cold voice, deliberately raising his tone.
“Isn’t it the truth? I’m also saying these things for Jocelyn’s sake.”
“I just hope Jocelyn doesn’t mind her husband’s ugly, what’s wrong? Jocelyn, I am sorry for you. You and Gloria are sister, but your marriage doesn’t look as good as hers.”
Gloria’s aunt continued to yell loudly, the less Jocelyn said anything, the more she felt Jocelyn could be bullied, and the more pleased she was with herself.
Jocelyn frowned slightly and continued to eat, silently listening to her, full of accomplished blandness.
She genuinely felt that Gloria and the rest of them were stupid to the extreme, and that was all it took to conclude that they were right in their thinking.
Jocelyn suddenly felt that they were funny.
Not long after Gloria’s aunt words had fallen, the door to the private room was once again pushed open by two suited waiters.
“Ah … who’s that? Is that a star? So handsome!”
“He is so handsome! He’s the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen in the whole world!”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“He seems to have stars on him, I feel like my eyes are going to be blinded!”
At the tables closest to the door, the little girls at the tables got excited, their eyes staring straight at the door.
