Chapter 723


    Halley noticed Veronica was pretty strict when it came to raising kids She reckoned that if Eleanor


    could marry into such a family it would be a jackpot The other rtives were all very friendly As


    Eleanor’s sister, she had to do a good job educating Nina too


    Hailey gently pinched Nina’s cheek


    “Nima, you also sad some natty stuff to israel After Israel’s punishment, you should apologize


    Otherwise he might feel it’s not fau


    Israel started it by messing with Nina’s flower crown, but Nina was the first to throw insults. That kicked


    off the fight between the two kids


    Nina was a good listener when it came to Hailey, she nodded obediently and said “I will apologize”


    With that the kids squabble was settled Veronica stood up giving Hailey an approving look while


    praising her


    Then Veronica’s gazended on the woman standing next to Cedric


    Compared to Cedric’s old Fame Veronica liked Hailey better It’s just a shame Cedric was no ky and


    always seemed to have his head in the clouds


    He knew full well his parents didn’t approve of him being with his ex but he still brought her to the


    wedding Who knew what he was thinking


    Cedric couldn’t take his eyes off Hairy But Halley didn’t nce back at him once she just pushed Nina


    and Israel inside


    After Nina and Israel arrived in front of Eleanor and Bernard with their little flower baskets, they bowed


    and said, “Sorry, we’rete


    Eleanor and Beard exchanged amused nces, smiling “No worries, the bells haven’t rung yet. The


    wedding hasn’t started”


    As if on cu a castle worker standing on high ground gently rang the bell three times, signaling the start


    of the wedding


    Eleanor, holding onto Bemard’s arm with one hand and her bouquet with the other, began to walk


    towards the ceremony tform to the sound of cheerful music


    Her wedding dress trailed on the carpet, stiming up a flurry of pink rose petals, adding a pop of color to


    the pure white dress


    Behind them were the bridesmaids Hailey and Liana, the best man Cedric, and Matthew Laurence,


    who had flown in from Africa.


    The priest at the tform, holding the scriptures, asked after his wedding speech


    “Groom, in sickness and in health, for nicher or poorer, in youth and in old age, are you willing to care


    for her for life never to part?” Bernard, who had been looking at Eleanor all the while, had a determined


    look in his eyes when he heard this

    “Absolutely


    His voice was maic and filled with affection


    The priest then turned to Eleanor, smiling


    *Bride in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in youth and in old age, are you willing to care for


    him for life, never to part?”


    Eleanor, who had been exchanging loving looks with Bernard, nodded resolutely


    “I do”


    *Then, pleasee up and sign


    Eleanor was somewhat puzzled Shouldn’t they be exchanging rings now? What was this signing


    about?


    Bernard, holding Eleanor’s hand, helped her lift the heavy hem of her dress as they walked towards the


    stage.


    Two framed documents were ced on the stage. The thick papers read
