After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 920

Chapter 920: Change of Plans

All these reached the leading party, who were mostly amused and touched.

After the initial sadness, Winona didn’t seem to mind whatever happened anymore. Anyway, it was just minor incarceration.

The old woman was alone in her small cell, too. Winona also sent food and drinks so she didn’t actually suffer. Not that the old woman—who only saw the humiliation— was thankful, of course.

If she made a scene again, then they’ll throw her back in.

They put this to the back of their mind and just listened to the updates about the wedding preparations.

The twice-married couple was currently sitting next to each other on the dining table, listening to their discussions.

It had to be noted though that Garan was particularly sticky with Althea today. They sat next to each other with a baby on each side, but Garan would often just lean down and kiss her cheek out of nowhere, making everyone blush.

She looked at him, noticing his eyebags. “What’s going on?” Did he not sleep at all last night?

“Did you also have a hard time during your pregnancy?”

Her eyebrows rose and she turned to Ansel, who shrugged to claim innocence.

It was enough for her to surmise what likely happened.

Her eyes softened as she shifted her gaze back to her husband, whose eyebrows were furrowed in worry and guilt. She kissed his cheek, smiling. “I was fine. I had Nanny, I had Ansel, I had Winona, and I had the babies.

“I was in good hands,” she said, and he sighed, grasping her soft hand.

“I can’t imagine. How it was like for you to think I was dead.”

She lifted her free hand to touch his cheek.”I’m glad you didn’t know about my pregnancy. You might’ve been too distracted to come back to us safe and sound.”

His shoulder slumped, eyes looking deeply into hers. “Wife…” he said, and she stared back, emerald eyes filled with understanding.

The two entered their world and the others were just thankful the two didn’t start making out then and there.

“Ahem,” Harold said, looking at Winona, pointing at the written menu for the wedding. “Have you seen the menu? Is there anything you want changed?”

Winona looked and nodded, “This looks really good to me. Thank you.”

Sheila looked curiously at the list, also nodding in approval. She also thought the menu was well thought-out.

Seeing her like this, Harold looked at her, donning a sly smile. “When are you planning to hold your wedding?”

Winona looked at Sheila, “Oh, right!”

Sheila flushed. “Oh no, I… I’m not…”

Everyone stared at her and at her face which was as red as a gouji fruit. “But you really want to?” Althea asked. “Get married to Eagle, I mean.”

Sheila bit her lips, and nodded shyly.

Winona stared at them, a thought appearing in her mind. “Then what about we do a mass wedding instead?”

This made everyone turn to her.

“What?” Sheila asked, looking at the blonde.

Seeing her startled, Winona thought she spoke to soon. “Unless you want a solo wedding, of course—”

“No, it’s not that. I mean…” Sheila interrupted to explain herself. “I would like to get married soon as well.”

After seeing Victor and Juni like that every day, it kept reminding her that life was so fleeting. She should just do what she wanted. She still believed in her instincts, anyway. She felt she wouldn’t regret it.

“That’s settled then!” Winona said, clapping her palms. “Let’s do a mass wedding!”

The team looked at her, wondering if this was another one of the pregnancy moods that could change at any time.

“Are you sure?” Althea asked, just to be sure. After all, the wedding day was particularly special to a woman. “We’re not short of funds or anything, you know.”

“I’m sure, don’t worry,” she said. “Mass weddings could create a special sense of camaraderie. And… I don’t think I can have an intimate wedding with my grandmother and that family around.”

They looked at each other. That made sense. Although they were imprisoned, having a solo and solemn wedding really would feel a bit odd without some family members.

Winona’s shoulder slumped a bit and she looked at everyone embarrassingly. She naturally knew that changing plans at this juncture was troublesome to everyone.

“I… there should also be plenty of lovers who want to get married but did not have the resources to do so yet,” she said. “I wanna help them find it…”

Then, she looked at Ansel. “Only if you agree, of course. It’s your wedding too.”

Ansel smiled and kissed the side of her head. “Whatever the wife says.”

With this, they called in Eagle, who was training at the Barracks at this time. He was sweaty but couldn’t wait to come and he appeared as is.

When he found out what it was about, his face looked like it received a thousand shocks of happiness.

“Are we really getting married?” he asked his fiance, like an excited big dog with one arm.

Sheila blushed looking away. “You proposed, so…”

“Yes, yes of course!”

“It’s a mass wedding though.”

“No problem, no problem,” he said, whispering. “Sheila will get married to me…”

He thought he was whispering but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Sheila covered her face in embarrassment while the others smiled.

Anyone with eyes could tell they’ll be a very happy couple.

…

Later that day, after some discussions, another announcement resounded in the territory.

[100th day after The Migration had passed and, although it’s late, we still hope to celebrate as a community!]
