Amelia's heart softened instantly.

The white wedding dress swept across the red carpet.

A couple in formal attire entered the venue hand in hand, and the bustling venue instantly quieted down, leaving only the melodious accompaniment of the cello.

Amelia, arm in arm with Ethan, walked over and smiled, "Sorry for keeping you all waiting. Let's start the wedding now, host."

The host, caught off guard, nodded immediately and began the long-delayed wedding.

But in his heart, he muttered, "Who is this groom anyway?"

Everyone present looked at the handsome man and froze.

They never expected that Amelia would change grooms at the last minute?!

The Smith family was collectively stunned!

Even Daisy, who had always taken pleasure in others' misfortune, looked shocked, her jaw almost dropping.

Amelia dared to switch grooms! But who is this person? And he's quite handsome...

Christopher Smith had been feeling guilty before, after all, it was Alexander's fault, not showing up at his own wedding. But now...

He trembled and asked his friend beside him, "Who is that?"

Frederick Johnson had been displeased since Alexander didn't show up. Today, the Smith family had acted too unscrupulously!

Upon hearing Christopher's question, he stroked his beard, looking calm, "He should be my grandson-in-law."

Christopher: "..."

Amelia paid no attention to the shocked reactions of these people. She urged the host to simplify the proceedings and then whispered to Ethan, "Can you still hold on?"

She felt Ethan's hand, which was getting hotter and hotter!

Ethan silently nodded, but cold sweat dripped down his forehead, wetting his long eyelashes, giving his delicate face a pitiful look that made people want to pity him.

Amelia tightened her grip on his hand, looked up, and saw her mother standing next to her eldest brother, whispering something to him. She must be asking for the suppressant. Unable to help herself, she turned to the host and said

 "Hurry up!"

The host also felt innocent and had to skip a few steps and proceed directly to the next one!

"Groom, do you take Miss Amelia as your wife?"

"I do."

"Then bride, do you take... this gentleman beside you as your husband?" This time, even the host broke out in cold sweat.

What's the groom's name? He had no idea!

But Amelia reacted quickly. She quickly said "I do" and then tiptoed, reaching out to embrace Ethan's neck.

At this moment, Ethan seemed to understand instinctively and leaned down to kiss her on the corner of her mouth.

The sweet feeling somehow relieved the alternating hot and cold sensation all over his body.

But just at this moment, Amelia had already stepped back half a step.

Ethan frowned, feeling a little lost.

The host hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Done! Congratulations to the newlyweds! Now, let the banquet begin!"

As the time approached midnight, Amelia had no time for other social engagements. She kicked off her high heels, grabbed Ethan, and slipped away from backstage.

Ethan wasn't in good shape, and Amelia couldn't wait for her mother anymore. She had to use her microcomputer to send a message to her mother, asking her to bring the suppressant, and then she took Ethan back to the bridal suite.

"Ethan, are you okay?" Amelia had only awakened less than two years ago and had no idea how to deal with a Therianthrope's susceptible period. She took a wet towel to wipe Ethan's face and turned on her microcomputer to ask the AI, AC.

"Encountered Therianthrope's susceptible period, what should I do?"

AC: "There are two options, one is to give him the suppressant, and the other is to become his suppressant."

"What does that mean?" Amelia frowned, about to ask for more details when suddenly a furry tail wrapped around her waist, and with a strong tug, she fell into a warm embrace!

 

Amelia subconsciously wanted to leave this furnace-like place, but suddenly a nasal and extremely aggrieved voice came from above.

"Sister, I feel uncomfortable..."

"Ethan, don't worry, the exclusive potion will be here soon, and then you won't feel so uncomfortable."

"Sister won't leave me, right?"

Amelia: "..."

This was hard to say, after all, this wedding between the two of them was a bit of a mess.

Ethan seemed a bit out of it now, and when he regained consciousness later, maybe the one who wanted to leave would be him.

Just as Amelia was about to explain something, she suddenly noticed Ethan leaning over and touching the corner of her mouth, like a child eating candy, cautiously touching it, lingering but rare.

Amelia trembled all over. This was different from the kiss at the wedding just now!

She suddenly understood what it meant to be his exclusive potion!

When she came to her senses again, she saw Ethan's beautiful eyes, like gems, brimming with moisture, his frowned expression extremely aggrieved.

"Sister..."

As he spoke, tears began to fall, leaving a shallow trace on his fair face.

She already liked this handsome boy who melted like this, especially since he had just helped her out so much.

Most importantly, Ethan's current appearance was just too beautiful!

Disheveled hair falling on his fair forehead, his already moist big eyes now filled with mist, looking at her with infinite trust and expectation.

And those furry ears trembling slightly from time to time, along with his large tail, which felt incredibly good, tightly wrapped around her waist.

She didn't know why Mom hadn't brought the exclusive potion yet.

But Amelia knew that Ethan's condition couldn't wait any longer!

She half-closed her eyes and finally nodded slightly, "Okay."

...

Outside the banquet hall, Benjamin saw his wife hurrying away, and he followed.

He stopped her, angry. "What's going on? How could Amelia suddenly change the groom? Who is that guy?"

Bella shook her head. "I'm not sure what's going on, but it turns out Alexander can't make it back. Now, changing the groom can at least make this wedding less embarrassing. As for the specifics, I need to go find Amelia now."

Benjamin's face darkened. "That's perfect. I'll go with you. This girl is getting too bold, daring to do anything! How do I explain this to the Smith family!"

Bella sighed. "How do you explain? Shouldn't the Smiths have to explain to us?"

"Forget it, there are business matters involved in this. You don't understand. Come on, let's go ask Amelia together!"

Bella remembered the exclusive potion she got from her eldest son and suddenly felt that it wasn't suitable for her husband to go over now.

She said tactfully, "Amelia isn't in a good state right now. You wait here, and I'll go ask her first."

"No need! I want to ask her myself!"

Seeing her husband's insistence, Bella was thoroughly angry.

She said, "Why are you so angry! Alexander definitely can't come. If you're angry, shouldn't you vent it on the Smith family? As for business matters, I don't understand, but if the groom doesn't show up today, do you know how much it will hurt Amelia? Are we going to let Amelia randomly marry someone we don't know? This man is chosen by Amelia herself, as long as she's happy, isn't that good enough!"

Benjamin retorted angrily, "She's spoiled by you! If she had half the sensibility of Charlotte, I wouldn't be embarrassed like this today!"

Bella sneered, "Embarrassed? When Alexander didn't come, did you consider our daughter's feelings? Do you still have the face to talk about teaching Amelia to be like Charlotte? It's because of Charlotte that Alexander didn't come to the wedding! I have to ask you, in these years, you've been so good to Charlotte, is Amelia your real daughter, or is that Charlotte your real daughter!"

"Smack!"

A slap quieted them both down.
