Chapter 655


    Chadwick nced at Esther, who sat beside him, and asked coldly, "Who''s that?"


    Esther quickly deleted Bradley''s message and replied casually, "Just spam."


    Chadwick warned Esther, "Think carefully, Esther. If you''re having second thoughts, now is the time to


    back out."


    Esther thought about her family''s ns and firmly shook her head, pressing her lips together. "I won''t


    back out."


    Chadwick had hoped she would be in her traditional wedding outfit. But whether the wedding would


    proceed smoothly or not was not up to him.


    Mockingly, Chadwick said, "You''re quite captivating, Esther. Before you came into my life, I was a


    yboy. But when you appeared, I willingly stepped into this marriage, leaving behind many


    possibilities to be with you."


    Esther smiled sarcastically. "Regretting it already, Mr. Pendleton?"


    Chadwickughed heartily. "Regret doesn''t exist in my vocabry, Esther."


    "That sounds like something from a romance novel," Esther said with irony, which Chadwick missed,


    thinking she was joking.


    "Do I not fit the role of a domineering CEO?" he asked.


    "You certainly do," she answered softly, acknowledging that Chadwick resembled a leading man from


    fiction.


    Chadwick leaned over and took a bite of the red apple Esther was holding. The sweet aroma filled the


    car. Selene had chosen this luscious, tempting apple.


    "So, is it the apple that''s sweet, or is it you?" he asked.


    Esther discreetly moved away, determined to avoid furtherplications with Chadwick.


    Unperturbed, Chadwick scrolled through his phone, enjoying the apple. He sent generous gift codes to

    friends in his WhatsApp group, and they responded with congrattory messages and well wishes.


    In contrast, the mood in the second wedding car, carrying Mandy and Bradley, was tense and silent


    despite their uing marriage.


    Mandy stared at her phone, contemting how to change veils as X had instructed.


    Bradley looked handsome in his wedding attire and showed no signs of happiness. He radiated a cold


    aura, gripping his phone tightly as if it might shatter.


    Bradley noticed Esther hadn''t responded to his message. A frosty smile crossed his lips, apanied


    by a fierce rage in his intense eyes.


    As the convoy approached an intersection, they encountered a traffic ident, with ambnces and


    hearses blocking the road.


    Chadwick was annoyed. He kicked the back of the groomsman''s seat andmanded, "Go find out


    what happened."


    "Understood." The groomsman returned momentster, looking worried. "Chadwick, there''s been an


    ident. There are many casualties."


    Chadwick scoffed with disdain and raised an eyebrow. "Tsk! What an ill omen indeed."
