Bryan cleared his throat to break the awkwardness. “Are you okay?”
Abigail blinked and looked down. Her hand subconsciously gripped
the phone tighter. “Yes. | can still breathe.” Her tone seemed
indifferent.
“What about your phone?”
Abigail checked her gadget briefly. “It’s okay. It’s still on.”
Bryan was pensive. He knew there was a crack there.
“Sorry, | didn’t know you were on the Harper family’s side. | thought you were the enemy.”
Abigail nodded stiffly. “| apologize too. | shouldn’t have used you of being an intruder.”
Abigail still avoided Bryan’s gaze. It made the burden in Bryan’s heart never lessen.
“| didn’t know you were a woman when | knocked you down earlie didn’t have any other intention when | pressed your chest. It
was ju a reflex to paralyze the enemy.”
Abigail’s breath hitched. Her eyes widened, all her nerves tensed. How could Bryan say that openly?
“Sorry, | don’t understand what you mean. When have you ever pressed my ....” Abigail held back her words then skipped a
word.” That never happened. You must have remembered wrong. Now if you''ll excuse me. | have to go to the back yard. The
others are waiting
for me.”
With her head bowed, Abigail left the room. Bryan blinked when he

saw Abigail’s hands clenched at her sides and forgetting to swing. Thinking it was cute, he smiled.
“Apparently, there’s still a girl with two braids nowadays?”
Suddenly, Bryan wondered what Abigail would look like at Philip and Barbara’s wedding. Would she keep her two braids or show
off her other charms?
“Wow, Abi’s hair is so beautiful!” Emily’s eyes widened when she saw Abigail. Unlike usual, the girl only had one braid. It looked
beautiful on her left shoulder.
“Thank you, Emily. | actually asked for two braids, but the hairstylist urged me to agree to this style. She said, one braid suits my
one- shoulder dress better.”
“| agree with the hairstylist.” Louis nodded. “You look like the kind of girl a prince would marry in Emily''s books. | think Aunt
Barbara would be upset if she saw you. She’s afraid of being outshone.”
While Abigail chuckled, Emily shook Kara’s hand. “Mommy, for Uncle Jeremy''s wedding, | want to style my hair like Abi. I''ll
definitely look prettier.”
Kara smiled sweetly and rubbed that cute face. “You''re always beautiful, Little Angel, whatever your hairstyle.”
Emily’s cheeks flushed red. “Thank you, Mommy.” Her feet jumped a little. “I’m beautiful because you are beautiful.”
While Kara focused on Emily, Louis looked up at Frank.
“Daddy, isn’t the event over there? What are we doing here?” Louis looked around and checked his surroundings. There weren''t
any decorations there. Only white walls, wooden floors, and a few unlit
lights.

“We''re going to see Barbara’s first appearance, Buddy.”
“That’s part of the event? Why wasn’t Mommy like that before?” “Because | wanted to see your Mommy directly at the main
event.”
Louis’ eyes narrowed even more. “But Uncle Philip didn’t do this too.”
“Because he didn’t want people to see him crying. He’s afraid of being moved by Auntie’s beauty,” Emily answered, cupping one
cheek.
“How do you know?” Louis’ head tilted.
“| asked Mommy earlier.”
Louis sneered. However, when he was about to reply, someone called out, “Everyone, please stand facing the sea.”
The twins’ backs straightened. Their eyes widened. Seeing people around them turn their bodies towards the fence, they
followed.
“Will Auntiee out soon?” Louis whispered, looking at his sister through a thin nce.
“I think so.”
Suddenly, someone stopped beside Frank. The twins peeked. Seeing Philip, their mouths rounded.
“Wow! Uncle Philip is so cool.”
“Yeah, you look more handsome today, Uncle.”
Philip snorted in amusement. “Stop teasing me. My heart is about to explode from being so nervous.”
“Why be nervous, Uncle? Auntie is definitely beautiful. Just rx.”
“| can’t, Louis. Even my hands are cold.”
Louis stepped forward, reaching out across his father. “Uncle’s handsN?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.

Frank snorted in amusement. “Good. That means you seriously love my sister.” Frank’s nce seemed mischievous.
“| wouldn’t have gone this far if | was fooling around,” Philip muttered without separating his teeth. His jaw was also stiff,
especially when the exmation came again.
“The bride ising! Everyone please turn around except the groom.”
Philip’s back straightened even more. His fists were petrified. Hearing people’s amazed chuckles, his heart beat so fast as if it
was almost going to break free.
“Wow! Is that really Auntie? | didn’t expect Auntie to be prettier.”
“Yeah, that dress makes her look like an angel!”
Hearing so manypliments, Barbara’s heart almost soared. However, she did not want toment yet. Biting her lip, she
stepped closer to Philip. With her index finger, she tapped her future husband’s shoulder.

Barbara looked perfect in a simple but elegant white A-line dress. T slightly transparent and wavyyers of its silhouette make
her loo like a wind goddess.
“Wow, Barbara. Wow! You make me the luckiest man in the world.”
Barbara''s eyes filled with tears hearing that. Then, with a twitching chin, she weed Philip’s embrace. “Thank you. You really
know how topliment me,” she whispered.
Philip shook his head slightly. “You are very beautiful, Baby. Very beautiful.”
Barbara let out a sigh ofughter. Her tears thickened, unlike Philip’s tears which had fallen without her realizing it.
“Uncle Philip? Are you crying?” Louis voice broke the emotion.
Emily tilted her head, peeking out. “Yes, Uncle Philip is crying! He must be very happy to marry Auntie.
While Philip wiped away tears, peopleughed lightly. Only Abigail smiled secretly with longing eyes.
From behind Mrs. Connor’s wheelchair, Bryan noticed it. However, neither of them made a sound. All attention seemed to belong
only to the bride and groom who were now looking at each other. Others had no right to create their own drama.
“Are you ready to say the vow?” Philip raised his eyebrows in excitement.
“Of course.” Barbara smiled slightly then nced at the others. “Let''s move to the main venue. I''ll meet you after Louis and Emily
have carried out their duties.”
“Woohoo! I''m ready to bring the ring!” Louis raised his hands high. His tiny suit was wrinkled.
“And | can’t wait to shoot bubbles again!” Emily imitated the shape of the gun with her thumb and forefinger.
Then, everyone moved towards the main venue. On the edge of the cliff facing the sea, chairs had been arranged. A curtain
made from strands of crystals became a stunning backdrop for the bride and groom to exchange their vows. With the sun almost
setting and the expanse of the open sea behind it, each crystal reflected a mesmerizing light.

Without anyone knew, a drone hovered recording what was happening.
“Well, well. It’s a beautiful decoration. The bride and groom look
beautiful too. Everything is beautiful, but unfortunately it will be over soon.”
Patriciaughed slyly in front of her TV. After grabbing the phone, she whispered, “Is it ready?”
“Yes, Madam. We just have to wait for the right time.”
The curve of Patricia’s lips turned into a witch’s grin. “Perfect! This will be a fun show.”
