“Is this my godmother, Godfather?” Jared asked with a smile while looking at Sophia next to Arthur.
Sophia choked as she was about to take a sip of tea to quench her thirst. “No, no. You misunderstood, kiddo,” she said, covering
Jared’s mouth and coughing lightly.
Without saying anything, Arthur simply curled the corner of his mouth.
“We are just friends,” Sophia attempted to exin.
“My daddy and mommy were also just friends before they fell in love and married.” ording to Jared, friends could be
husband and wife.
Sophia fixed her gaze on Jared. He was as attractive as his father, and his sweet little face made her want to pinch it.
“I''m not worthy to be with your godfather!” she scowled.
“Miss, don’t worry. You are so beautiful. You''ll be a good match for my godfather,” Jared said, looking back at Arthur.
Hearing that, Sophia didn’t know whether tough or cry. Someone couldn''t see her beauty! Someone always thought she was
ugly!
“Thank you for yourpliment.” She smiled as she raised her brows.
Arthur sat down and ced Jared next to him. His best friend was getting married, and he should look after his son.
The newlyweds were delivering speeches on stage. Elliot went into great detail about his meeting with his wife. His words were
brief, but they came from the depths of his heart, and his love for her was clearly profound.
Harriet, who was in the audience, also spoke briefly. She sincerely wished them well and yelled through the microphone to her
grandson, “Elliot, please treat Anastasia well and don’t let her down.”
“Please know, Grandma, that | only love
her in this life, and | will live up to it,” Elliot replied, looking at the woman next to him.
Lori turned to face the man on the stage at the banquet. Her eyes darkened as she heard his words, as if she was about to
challenge something. Her red lips. twitched slightly as well.
The ceremony was straightforward and solemn. They exchanged rings after reading the oath. During the kissing session, Elliot
only kissed Anastasia’s forehead because she requested it beforehand.
The audience erupted in apuse.
This scene took Sophia by surprise. She witnessed a beautiful, grand wedding and a happy couple despite the fact that she was
not an official guest!
She could feel their love for each other from beginning to end, and it was the first time she had seen love other than her parents.
She couldn''t help but fantasize about what kind of man she would marry in the
future. Would he be as gentle and attractive as the groom on stage? Would he be as tender as Elliot was with his wife?
How she wished she could meet such a
lover and devote her entire life to him.
She didn’t notice that someone was watching her from the side while she was looking at the stage. Sophia smiled broadly, her
eyes wide with admiration. The way the corners of her mouth inadvertently curled was rather heartbreaking.
Arthur looked at her delicate profile and at her slender eyshes fluttering. With the lights shining on her, she exuded a dreamy
and beautiful aura, and the light in her eyes was reminiscent of fresh morning dew.
The eyes were the portals to the soul. People with such clear eyes must have a simrly clear and kind soul.
As a result, despite having seen thousands of beautiful women, this was the first time he had seen such a pure soul.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
“Do you envy them?” Arthur inquired
lightheartedly.
“Yes, without a doubt! Every girl wants a wedding simr to this.” Sophia sighed. and then she realized how quickly she had
reacted to his question.
Arthur didn’t respond. Instead, he looked at the newlyweds on stage and thought. Who wouldn’t envy the groom?
He, too, wasn’t sure when he would be able to meet the love of his life, like Elliot did.
It was nearly eleven o''clock when the wedding ceremony ended. The meal was about to start. Anastasia entered the lounge via
a side door and changed into a festive red evening gown with two phoenixes embroidered on it. She also had a dangling
ornament in her hair, letting her exude the demeanor of an ancientdy getting married.
