Chapter 23 A Sideshow

• The wedding was brought forward to Christmas Eve Maria's request. It was filled with the festive spirit of the season, and the Forger Family was tastefully decorated as well. Maria sat in the bedroom, dressed in a white bridal gown while waiting for the groom.
• The groom, on the other hand, was mindlessly sitting in the study room.
• Today was his big day, but he couldn't lift his spirits at all as if the person getting married today wasn't him. His heart was numb to any feelings now, and it seemed like he was only performing his obligations.
