After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 923

First came Ansel and Winona. They felt really shy, but they knew there were other people there so they couldn’t take too long.

Ansel, in particular, had prepared a

very

nice speech that expressed all the emotions he had for Winona in a witty way that showcased his charm.

Sadly, he couldn’t remember a word of it.

"I know I may not be the smartest man and I annoy you a lot, " was all he could say, beet red from shyness and embarrassment. "But… just know that I’m glad to be hit by you—if it means you’ll do it for the rest of our lives."

This earned a few chuckles from the crowd and Winona’s smile as she sniffed. She held his overtly-smooth face. "I know I can be overbearing at times," she told him. "Thank you for putting up with me. I love you."

Ansel grinned, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "I love you, too."

Next to them, Eagle held Sheila’s hand. "I know that you may feel that we are rushing, but life is too unstable to hesitate.

"I love you and I want to build a future with you, I don’t want to waste any more time—especially not when I’m sure it has to be

you

for me."

Sheila smiled, looking back at him. Her cheeks were stained red, but she was surprisingly stable as she uttered her words.

"While I had never imagined I’d get married to a man I only knew for a few months, I still believe in my instinct, and I still believe in you—I

know

in my gut that we will not regret it.

"Thank you for taking the step forward."

They smiled and leaned towards each other, their foreheads touching and their palms entwined. Their vows received quiet claps and cheerful smiles, receiving various well wishes from the crowd.

Next to them were Eugene and Melissa, who were already sobbing a bit.

"We have lost so much through the disasters, and I have felt hopeless many times. I thank the heavens for bringing you to me," Eugene said, looking at her and at her stomach. "Thank you for being my family."

Melissa sobbed, embracing him. She couldn’t speak much anymore and just whispered her ’I love you’s to him.

Like them, the audience had also gotten a bit teary at this point. A lot of people knew their story, and—even if they didn’t—everyone had experienced tragedy during the past couple of months. Seeing others gain love and happiness was incredibly touching to them.

In another spot, Turbo and Evelyn looked at each other’s eyes, bodies warm and soft at the same time.
