“We’ve discussed it earlier. You just have to propose a toast to those at the first three tables, then you


    can head to the private room and get some rest. I’ll handle the rest,” Jared said. They had to avoid any


    activity that might exhaust Ellen.


    “Okay.” Ellen felt warm in her heart. While staying on the ind, she had gotten closer to the


    Presgraves and felt that they were truly caring andpassionate.


    The guests were dressed to the nines and ready to attend the wedding. Connor and his family were


    wearing the clothes that Olivia had borrowed, making them look less ordinary. “Mom, this dress is too


    small. It doesn’t fit,” Selenained.


    “Stopining when you have a nice dress to wear! Just don’t eat too muchter,” Olivia retorted.


    Suddenly thinking of something, she turned to look at her husband anxiously. “Connor, did Ellen call


    you and ask you to walk her down the aisle?”


    “No.” “Every bride needs an elder to walk her down the aisle. You’re her closest rtive, so why didn’t


    she call you?” Olivia asked in shock. Connor was embarrassed as well. “Perhaps a luxurious wedding


    like this is different. Moreover, I’m too bashful to do that.”


    “I suppose Ellen no longer regards us as rtives, huh? How is she going to walk down the aisle and


    go on stage without you? Is she going to do that on her own? That will beughable!” Nothing good


    ever came out of Olivia’s mouth.


    Connor shot her a stern look. “It’s Ellie’s big day. so don’t say any nonsense as there will be many


    guests at the wedding. You mustn’t. embarrass her.”


    “Do you think she’s still your dearest Ellie? She probably won’t spare us a nce again after the


    wedding.” Olivia sneered.


    Selena was fed up with their argument, so she went to the yard and happened to see Josephine and


    her mother leaving the vi, ready to head to the wedding.


    Presently, Josephine was d in a light blue. dress with her hair hung loose on her shoulders. She


    looked charming and refreshing. A hint of resentment shed across Selena’s eyes. She had always


    been a crafty. person, but the woman managed to snatch. Ethan from her the night before. It was only


    natural that she was vexed. Just you wait, Josephine. I’ll let you know the consequences of offending


    me!


    Meanwhile, Josephine and her mother entered the car and headed to the wedding. As the breeze


    whisked through her, she looked out the window and spaced out. When they passed by the walkway


    where Ethan carried her in his arms the night before, she suddenly wondered why the man was willing


    to lend her a helping hand.


    Has he fallen in love with me? Well, a handsome man like him isn’t husband material, and it’s not like


    he can look young forever. Moreover, many women will try to snatch him from me, and he might even


    cheat on me.


    After the analysis, Josephine felt that she’d better remain single. After all, there were many single


    people at her station, and they were all capable people who lived their lives to the fullest. Soon,


    Connor’s car was ready, and they went to the wedding together.


    There was a long stretch of roses that extended from the area where the guests got out of their cars to


    the banquet hall roughly 600 feet away. The roses were beautiful and fragrant. As the guests walked


    along the path, they felt rejuvenated. Olivia was dumbfounded. “How much does it all cost? A bouquet


    of roses is already worth a ton at the florist!”


    Selena was walking in front when she heard her mother’s words, so she couldn’t help but turn her head


    and retort, “Mom, stop behaving like a poor person. Do you want everyone to find out we’re not rich?”Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Olivia naturally wouldn’t admit that she wasn’t from a well-to-do family. Upon hearing her daughter’s


    words, she felt aggrieved, for she indeed behaved like one.


    The banquet hall could amodate 500 people, and it was full of guests now. Gold and red were the


    main colors, making the wedding look solemn and magnificent.


    A wedding like this was every woman’s dream. Olivia was awestruck, whereas Selena was green with


    envy, Jared was willing to spend so much money to hold a grand wedding for Ellen. If any woman could


    marry a man like him, she would die with no regrets.
