Chapter 610 Candidates for Bridesmaid and Groomsman


    Gia patted her son on the shoulder andforted him, "If that''s the case, then learn from me. Try to


    ept and bless him."


    "Maybe I misunderstood. I''ll ask him again when I get the chance. The idea that the Ye bloodline will


    not continue on doesn''t sit well with me," Henry replied with a worried look. He still did not believe it.


    "There is still surrogacy." Gia had known about her son for a long time. As a mother, nothing was


    more important to her than the happiness of her child. Whatever or whoever made Henry happy,


    she was willing to embrace and ept.


    And she liked Adrian very much. Because of him, she now had two sons.


    Adrian echoed with a smile, "Your mom is right. Don''t worry."


    Sighing audibly, Henry turned off the tap and smiled at his mother and Adrian. Then, they heard


    Nina''s joyfulughing from the living room.


    "Hotpot? I haven''t had hotpot for a long time."


    "Really? If you want to have hotpot, just tell the cook," John replied, walking behind her.


    Nina nodded and saw Gia walk over with a smile. "Nina, you''re here. Come and eat with us."


    Gia ushered Nina and John to the dining room.


    Everyone else was already there when they arrived.


    "Thank you, Aunt Gia." Nina smiled and took a seat at the table and so did everyone else.


    While everyone settled down, Henry pulled John aside and whispered to him, "Something terrible


    has happened, John. Noah may be like me. You''ve been in close contact with him all these years.


    Do you know the man who seduced him?"


    John took a moment to realize what Henry was talking about. What Henry said was enough to put


    him in shock.


    ''Is Noah in love with a man? That''s frightening.''


    He used topete with Noah for Nina''s attention. Did Noah go the other way just because he


    could not be with Nina?


    If what Henry said was true, there had to be more to it. Failing to be with someone one time seemed


    like a shallow reason to change one''s sexual preference.


    Taking a nce at Noah who was talking andughing, John was still doubtful. He frowned and


    said, "We just talk about business. We''re not privy to each other''s emotional states."


    "Haven''t you two be good friends? How could you not know?" Henry asked in a low, frustrated


    voice.


    "Well, aren''t you two brothers?" John snapped.


    Henry was rendered speechless.


    Well, it seemed that it was impossible to confirm his theory at the moment.


    They started eating hotpot. Noah felt a little ufortable at first, but Gia''s gentleness and


    enthusiasm gradually rxed him.


    The kind woman reminded him of his mother, and he smiled.


    And because of this, Gia was very happy.


    "What did you want to talk about with us, Mr. Shi?" Adrian picked up a bottle of red wine, skillfully


    opened it, and poured it into a ss. Handing John a ss, he smiled and said, "Is it about the


    wedding? Do you want us to be your groomsmen?"


    John held the ss with his slender fingers and answered in a low voice, "Yes."


    "I knew it. Don''t worry. We will wear rags on your wedding day to make your handsome face and


    strapping body pop." Adrian clinked John''s ss with his and beamed.


    "There''s no need to. Well, even if youe to the wedding without anything on, you won''t be able


    to steal my thunder," John replied, casting a sidelong nce at him.


    Adrian''s face turned pale, and his retort got trapped in his throat.


    ''Can this guy ever talk nicely?


    He can be really rude sometimes.''


    Adrian took a big gulp of his wine and did not say anything anymore.


    The others snickered. Noah raised his ss and joked, "For the record, my sister-inw can''te


    to the wedding naked. Someone will get incredibly angry."


    Adrian whipped his head at Noah and red at him. He did not dare talk back at John, but he


    vented his anger on Noah. He picked up Noah''s wine ss and shoved it on Noah''s mouth.


    "I''ve told you not to call me your sister-inw! I''m a man!"


    Noah did not expect Adrian''s fierce move, so he ended up spilling wine all over himself and choking


    on some.


    "That''s enough, you two." Seeing that Adrian was about to move again, Henry reached out and


    stopped him.


    Noah''s face turned red. He could only point at Adrian while trying to catch his breath. Gia handed


    him a tissue.


    After wiping his face and straightening up, Noah smiled and said, "Fine, I won''t call you my sister-in-


    law anymore."


    Adrian scoffed and took a sip of his wine. He said, "You can try and not to be a jerk to me


    sometimes, you know. Is that too much to ask?"


    Noah grinned. "I recognize you as a member of Ye family. I think I''m being more generous to you


    than you realize."


    Hearing that, Adrian could not help feeling touched, but he decided to hide his emotions and


    changed the subject. He cleared his throat and said to Nina, "So Mr. Shi has three groomsmen.


    What about you, Nina? Who will be your bridesmaids? I''m sure Michelle is number one on that list."


    Nina took a sip of water and replied, "Yes. Aside from Mimi, I want to ask another friend of mine to


    be my bridesmaid. She''s from C Ind."


    "But isn''t Vicente the only good friend you have on C Ind?" Noah looked at her in surprise.


    Nina wanted to say that she meant Vicente, but she could not expose her identity. "I have another


    friend. We met when we were kids and used to y together. Her name is Berry."


    "Berry? Is it the berry I miss?" Adrian joked.


    Nina yfully rolled her eyes at him and said, "No. How can you always think about food? Is Henry


    not feeding you enough? Anyway, Berry''s a youngdy."


    "Berry. I like her name. It sounds delicious. Right, Henry? Ouch!" Adrian flinched and moaned.


    Henry pinched his thigh so hard that he almost jumped out of his seat. He pressed his lips together


    in a thin line and frowned at him.


    Everybody looked at the two and giggled.


    Noah said, "Berry is indeed an interesting name. If you''ve known her since you were kids, why


    didn''t you mention her to us before?"

    "Well, we hadn''t kept in touch over the years, but I was able to contact her recently." Nina kept her


    face neutral and her voice steady. "Also, Vicente told me that he might not be able toe to the


    wedding. He''s been very busy. He asked me to tell you."


    A hint of disappointment shed through Noah''s eyes that nobody seemed to notice. He dipped his


    chin in acknowledgement and replied, "Really? That''s too bad. But he probably doesn''t want to see


    you and John get married anyway. He can''t stand it when you two show off your affection for each


    other."


    Nina was speechless. After a few moments, she smiled and said, "Well, I don''t really care if he can''t


    stand it. I want him to witness it."


    Noah chuckled, "Then we should send him your wedding video."


    "That''s a brilliant idea!" Nina nodded. But in reality, she would not have to send the video because


    Vicente wasing, and she was one of her bridesmaids.


    John only smiled to himself while observing the exchange between Nina and Noah.


    "Trust me, you and your brother aren''t the same," he said to Henry in a whisper.


    "What? How do you know?" Henry asked, his eyes lighting up.


    "You don''t believe me? Then get him drunk and find out yourself," John answered.


    Henry raised his eyebrows at John. He just suggested to extract the truth from Noah by pumping


    him full of alcohol.
