Chapter 729
"Don''t kid around. Isn''t it beautiful? This outfit was designed by Ruby for me. How do I look? Doesn''t it entuate my graceful figure? Isn''t my
waistline just wonderful?" Sherri pushed her utensils aside, making a great show of her beauty. She kept changing poses, highlighting her strengths.
Ste was helpless and couldn''t help but roll her eyes inwardly. She knew thatplimenting Sherri would only feed her ego.
Nona watched Sherri''s endless posing and couldn''t help but chuckle, covering her mouth. Frank had helped Nona with her styling today. Winnie was
also giggling from the sidelines.
After Sherri had unted herself for quite some time, Ste couldn''t take it anymore and nudged her. "Enough already. It''s almost time. You better
leave. Jasper will be here soon, and I don''t want you spying around."
Sherri paused, giving Ste a sidelong nce. "Is that how you see me?”
"Yes."
Sherri couldn''t help but roll her eyes.
Nathan and Joy had already been taken to Grand Manor. The elderly didn''t appreciate the frivolity of the young. so they opted to sit with friends at the
hotel and chat.
As Sherri descended the stairs, she spotted Hackett standing there, knowing he was reluctant. "Hackett, don''t be sad. Ruby getting married is a
joyous asion. Jasper put so much effort into Ruby''s wedding. He really cares. Our little darling will be very happy."
Hackettposed himself, putting his arm around Sherri''s shoulder and taking the utensils from her hands. "I know."
Soon, the groom, Jasper, arrived, and the pre-wedding games quickly came to an end. The reason was simple. Everyone wanted Jasper and Ruby''s
wedding to start as soon as possible.
After all, everyone knew it wasn''t easy for Jasper and Ruby toe this far after so many years of dating.
Without Rose as the bridesmaid, the pre-wedding games were romantic rather than humorous. Olivia arranged a few romantic activities to liven
things up. like kissing, eating candy, lyric contests, and so on.
After the games, Jasper, dressed in the suit Ruby had made for him, holding the bouquet, went down on one knee and said excitedly, "My dear, today
will be the most unforgettable day of my life. I love you.”
There was an excited cheer,ughter, and apuse all around
Ruby smiled tenderly. Behind her, Harper, wearing a ck suit with a bow tie, started cheering a bit slowly. “Wow! Wow!"
They were standing very close together. Harper''s voice was too loud, causing Liam to instinctively turn away. When Harper stopped cheering, Liam
turned back slowly, saying disdainfully. “Could you keep it down?"
Harper draped his hand on Liam''s shoulder, teasingly saying, "I''m pumping up the atmosphere here. You know? Clearly, those who haven''t been
married don''t understand."Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Liam took Harper''s hand off his shoulder with disdain. "Have you been married, then?”
Harper retorted. "At least I''ve attended friends’ weddings. And I''ve seen the process of weddings on TV dramas.”
Liam was left speechless.
Ruby took the bouquet, smiled at Jasper, and the two embraced and kissed. Cyril went to check on the vi decorations and arrivedte. Just as he
entered with George, they were pushed out and locked outside.
"Are you crazy? Why did you close the door? I''m a guest," Cyril eximed outside, annoyed
George remained calm, only smiling faintly and saying, "It''s best if kids don''t see."
Cyril was very helpless and wondered, ‘I''m an adult, okay? Oh wait, I''m not even eighteen yet. And I haven''t taken the SAT yet. I will only be taking
the SAT next month.’
Soon the door opened.
Jasper and Ruby sat on the bed, fingers intertwined. Ruby held the bouquet, reluctant to let go, both wearing happy smiles on their faces.
Olivia smiled at Liam, with a suggestive look in her eyes. “Jasper is getting married today. How about you groomsmen sing a song to liven up the
atmosphere?"
"You know I can''t carry a tune. How abouting up with another request?" Liam’s only w was his off-key singing. always managing to miss every
beat perfectly and creating his own unique melody.
Sophia didn''t want any mishaps during Jasper’s wedding ceremony, so she suggested. "Then do 100 push-ups.”
Liam looked at Sophia bewilderedly and thought, ''ls she kidding me? 100 push-ups? She might as well just kill me.’ Harper nudged Liam''s shoulder.
“Come on. Start. It''s just 100 push-ups. It''s a piece of cake for Sophia.”
George, being kind-hearted, leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed. "I''ll count for you.”
Liam was speechless and cursed silently. ‘Thanks a lot.’
George could read minds and knew what Liam was thinking. Today was Jasper''s wedding. and he was in a good mood. He smiled and replied,
"You''re wee.”
Olivia urged cheerfully, "Hurry up! Don''t dawdle! Don''t dy Jasper''s wedding at the hotel.”
Then she added, "The games just ended. The next step is to send representatives to sing. Liam, start doing push-ups. Who''s going to sing?”
Seeing no one said anything. Harper stepped up boldly. "George and I will sing. We''ll do ‘Endless Love. I''ll take Lionel''s part, and you take Diana’s
part...”
Before Harper could finish his sentence, George changed the rules. "No, I''ll take Lionel''s part. and you will take Diana''s part.”
His tone allowed no room for argument or negotiation.
Upon hearing it, Harperpromised. "Fine, your call. I will take Diana''s part. It''s nothing. Let''s do it. But without apaniment?"
Olivia nced at him. "What else? Do you want me to assemble a dance troupe for you?"
Liam thought he could do fewer push-ups while they sang. But the next moment, Sophia took over George''s task. "Both tasks will go simultaneously.
You guys sing, and I''ll count the push-ups.”
Jaspers smile grew deeper. Harper

start singing. It was George''s first ->

George.
Ste smiled and whispered admiringly, "George has such a nice voice. Thanks to Jasper, I can hear George sing.”
Ruby turned to Jasper and said, "You haven''t sung to me yet.”
"I''ll sing to you tonight,” he replied with a slight tilt of his head, a smile ying on his lips.
Upon hearing it, Ruby blushed, happily lowering her head. The second half was sung by Harper, who pinched his own Adam’s apple to try to sound
like a girl, producing strange tones that made everyone burst intoughter.
Liam couldn''t help butugh, losing his bnce and falling ta the ground. Out of embarrassment, he cursed, "Are you crazy? Why are you singing
with that tone?”
After Harper finished singing,

Liam ground his teeth in anger and replied, "Harper, wait until I''m done, I''ll deal with youter." Harper was too arrogant today. He needed to be
taught a lesson.
"Hey, there are still 60 left, keep going." Sophia reminded Liam.
Liam was helpless and sighed inwardly, ‘Oh no, She''s counting very carefully."
Ruby smiled at Liam and said, "Liam, you can do it. I trust you!"
To spare Ruby any embarrassment, Liam gritted his teeth and increased his speed. By the time the song ended, Liam had almostpleted 100.
push-ups.
When it all concluded, Harper took credit for the push-ups, iming it was his excellent singing that enabled Liam to do them so quickly.
The games finished, and the group headed to Grand Manor. The wedding car led the way, followed by the bridesmaids and groomsmen cars, driven
by Olivia and George. respectively.
Ste, Sherri, and Hackett had left earlier for the hotel.
Grand Manor was adorned in the most luxurious manner.

The castle was surrounded by pastel-colored hydrangeas. pink, white, yellow, and light purple, with golden maple leaves gently falling from the sky,
filling the entire room with brilliance.
Looking up, the top of the stage was adomed with cascading sandalwoodmps, while hand-painted golden patterns adorned the pristine white tiles,
making the weddingvish, grand, and magnificent.
On the stage stood the bride, her train trailing on the ground, with bridesmaids constantly adjusting it. Winnie, in high heels, carefully followed behind
Ruby held Hackett''s wrist, and Hackett. in his elegant suit, ced one hand on Ruby''s, smiling as they approached Jasper.
As the two were about to meet, Hackett halted, gesturing for Jasper to extend his hand. Hackett took Ruby''s hand from his wrist and gently ced it
in Jasper''s hand, saying. "I''m entrusting Ruby to you from now on."
"Mr. Hackett. don''t worry. I will take good care of Ruby for the rest of her life." Jasper promised with a serious face.
Hackett didn''t linger, just smiled at Ruby and Jasper, then turned around and gracefully stepped off the stage. The guests below were enviously
discussing the scene.
Sherri, shedding tears beneath the stage, was ovee with joy. Natalie handed her tissue after tissue and said, “Come on. Stop crying. This is
something to celebrate.”
Sherri sniffled. "I''m just too happy.”
Rose reminded her. "Your makeup is a bit smudged."
"Where? Did you bring a cushionpact? Let me see.”
Christina took out a cushionpact from her bag and handed it to Sherri. "Use mine. It''s not too bad, just a bit smudged at the corners of your eyes.
I have an eyeliner and brow pencil in my bag. Do you need them?"
Taking the cushion, Sherri checked herself in the mirror repeatedly. "Of course. I''m the star today. I must absolutely maintain my image.”
Everyone chuckled helplessly.
