Chapter 928


    Chapter 928


    Ste coughed twice, her face flushing red. She looked down in silence, her face disying a clear look


    of submission.


    Weston pinched her chin and made her look up.“ Discontented?”


    Ste shook her head. “No.”


    The moment she was captured back to the wedding, she knew that Weston wouldn‘t let her go so easily.


    The things he had done to her at the wedding were considered trivial. A man like him would spare no


    effort in reminding her that her attempt to escape the wedding was an utter mistake.


    Henry‘s interest was piqued as he looked at the couple.” It‘s just a toast. Is there a need to make things


    nasty?”


    All the guests surrounding them were looking over curiously. Even the videographer was immersed in


    recording, thinking Weston and Ste were sharing a passionate kiss.


    Henry moved his wheelchair and grabbed another two sses of wine. “Why don‘t you both raise a toast


    to each other?”


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    He began hyping up the crowd.


    With a nce at Ste, Weston said, “You decide.”


    What else could Ste say?


    She took the ss from Henry, and Weston followed suit.


    The two exchanged nces before raising a toast to each other.


    They looked just like any other loving couple ... if Ste hadn‘t be a runaway bride who ended up


    being captured.


    After Henry, it was Xavier‘s turn. He had brought Daisy along with him.


    Ste‘s brows furrowed, but she remained silent.


    Xavier didn‘t have much to say and simply raised his ss. “Congrats.”


    Daisy followed suit and subconsciously nced at Weston. “Mr. Ford, congrattions on your blissful


    marriage.”


    Weston nodded and held Ste‘s hand as they stepped forward toward the tray.


    Ste obediently picked up another ss of wine.


    Weston nced at her and took the ss from her hands. “My wife isn‘t a good drinker. I‘ll drink this on


    her behalf.”


    Ste paused for a moment as she pursed her lips. She was worried that Weston would y his old


    tricks and feed her through his mouth again.


    However, Weston had no intention of doing so. He was simplying to her aid.


    Mixed feelings crept up Daisy‘s heart. She looked at the red gown on Ste and imagined herself


    wearing it. How would she look?


    It would have been wonderful if only the man standing next to her was Weston.


    Her mind started drifting.


    Xavier grabbed her waist with slight force. “What are you thinking of? You‘re zoning out.” He followed her


    gaze and realized she was staring at them. He scoffed and said, “What are you staring at them for? Don‘t


    tell me you‘re thinking of getting married too?”


    Having been seen through, Daisy red at him with irritation. “Don‘t talk nonsense. I‘m just a little


    overwhelmed with emotions...”


    “Why?”


    “I just didn‘t expect things to be soplicated between them. I always thought that E… no, Ste


    was Mr. Ford‘s ex–wife and that she had assumed a different identity to marry him. Yet everyone knows


    that she‘s the same woman from the beginning.”


    The tone of her voice wasced with thinly veiled envy.


    Xavier simply ignored her. She could be envious but not jealous. He didn‘t like jealous women. Jealousy


    had a knack for overshadowing all elegance and beauty of a woman. He poured himself a ss of wine


    and handed it to Daisy. “Many other women are envious of you, too.”


    He said it carelessly, but it effectively calmed Daisy‘s trembling heart.


    That‘s right. She was to be considered very fortunate. Because of this man, she managed to dump that


    clingy ex –boyfriend of hers. Her status as his official girlfriend brought hes many connections as well.


    The Daisy of today was no longer that insignificant secretary who had to slog things out. She was now


    Xavier Ford‘s girlfriend.
