Chapter 5 Restlessness
Time flew by, and the day of the wedding soon drew near.
Both families continued remaining silent in the face of all the rumors between Zack and Lucille. No
matter how much some malicious parties tried to spread the gossip, both the Xanders’ and Lingards’
reactions, orck thereof, appeared to be the best answer.
Micha no longer received any more news from that mysterious figure since that phone call which
ended on a sour note.
The unknown person was so secretive that had that number not remained in her call history, Micha
would have thought everything had been just a dream.
The day before the wedding came in a blink of an eye.
Lucille dragged a sleepy Micha out for a spa first thing in the morning, insisting that thetter was
going to be the most beautiful bride in the world the next day.
Not wanting to disappoint Lucille, Micha agreed despite having dark circles under her eyes from her
recentck of sleep.
It was apparent that the mysterious figure’s words had impacted her in some way.
Ever since that day, she would ask herself if this was truly what she wanted. I haven’t even had a
chance to explore the world or fall in love. But now, I’m about to get married.
A sense of loss had tormented her over the days, and nothing she did seemed enjoyable. She had also
lost a lot of weight in just a short period of time.
Moreover, she had clearly be more prone to spacing out.
At that moment, Lucille kept calling out to her sister who was lying on a bed at the beauty salon, only to
receive no response. It wasn’t until a beautician gently prompted Micha that thetter snapped back
to reality. “What did you just say, Lucille?” she asked apologetically.
“Something’s been really off about you these days, Micha! You don’t actually have gamophobia, do
you?” asked Lucille with concern while lying on the bed next to Micha’s.
“What on earth are you talking about, silly?” Micha responded sheepishly as though her mind had
been read. But just as she wondered how to conceal her true feelings, she heard Lucille let out a
chuckle.
“I didn’t think that’d be the case either!” the other woman said mischievously. “I mean, let’s not even
talk about the Xander family’s power. Zack is so charming, and he likes you so much. Even Mrs.
Xander adores you, so you won’t have to deal with a nasty mother-inw when you get married. What
are you even worried about, anyway? You should’ve seen the looks on my friends’ faces when I gave
them your wedding invitation card. They were so envious when they knew you’re finally getting married
to Zack!”
Micha fell silent at her words.
She’s right. I’m about to join the renowned Xander family. My fiancé is tall and handsome. Besides, he
and his parents treat me like a princess. Who knows how many other women want but can’t have the
life I’m about to have? What am I still so unhappy about?
Maybe Lucille’s right. I might actually have a serious case of gamophobia.
Micha looked visibly better after leaving the beauty salon. Lucille had initially wanted to organize a
bachelorette party for her sister, but she canceled those ns after receiving a call from Zack asking
her to help decorate the couple’s soon-to-be home.
ording to old superstitions, it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.
Hence, Zack must have figured that approaching Lucille for help would be the best way to make his
wife happy.
Lucille couldn’t help but tease Micha over how considerate Zack was, and it wasn’t until she pushed
her older sister into a car and watched her leave that the chaffing stopped.
Before this, Zack had even called to exin the situation when the rumors spread. He, too, had said
the exact same thing as Lucille.
Initially, Micha didn’t doubt him either. She merely thought it was all a hoax and didn’t let it affect
their rtionship.

When she arrived home, Hannah so happened to walk out of the kitchen with a pot of kale soup.
“You’re back,” the older woman remarked with a tender gaze. “Where’s Lucille?”
