Chapter 438 Catching the Bouquet 438 Catching the Bouquet
The beautiful rainbow made people more cheerful. Everyone hoped that Anna and Wayne would keep
kissing so the rainbow wouldst longer.
Anna smiled and leaned into Wayne’s arms as he kissed her on the cheek. At the same time, Tammy
stood offstage, cheering and pping. ‘She seemed to be the happiest person at this wedding.
Later, Anna realized that the excited crowd would keep shouting if they didn’t continue kissing. Anna
smiled slyly as she wrapped her arms around Wayne’s neck and kissed him on the lips. Before she did
so, she said in his ear, “Let’s see if the rainbow stays because we kiss.”
Wayne had no idea Anna was going to kiss him at that moment. He said meaningfully, “Ugh! It’s just a
shame we can’t see the rainbow at night.”
Anna wentpletely still. She winked at him mischievously and said, “Maybe we can try and see if
the rainbowsts.”
“How about flirting with me throughout the wedding?” Wayne asked slowly Ina husky voice.
Hearing that, Anna couldn’t stopughing. She then began to throw the bouquet, and all the single
young women rushed to catch it. When Tammy saw everyone else ying the game, she eximed, “I
want one too!”
“Don’t go there, honey,” Wayne said, thinking, Tammy, you’re still a child. Honestly, even ifyou were an
adult, | wouldn’t want to see you get married so quickly. 437 Catching the Bouquet
But when he saw Tammy’s disappointed expression, he had no choice but to let her do so and tell her
to be careful.
“I’m throwing it away! Let’s see who is the next to walk down the aisle!” Saying that, Anna spun around.
She didn’t want to give the bouquet to anyone in particr. So, she didn’t want to throw it at Tammy
even When she saw her in the crowd. She simply threw it backward at random.
Everyone went crazy for it. Matthew grabbed Tammy’s little arm and pulled her out of the crowd,
concerned that she would be hurt in the crowd. “I’ll give you prettier flowerster,” he whispered.
“Okay!” Tammy immediately left the crowd.
The scene was extremely chaotic. Someone stepped on someone else’s dress and identally
squeezed the person next to them. Following that, the women rushing to grab the bouquet copsed in
a heap on thewn. It was absolutely hrious. Some of themughed, while others apuded.
“Who got the bouquet?” Anna asked, turning around.
The women exchanged nces, and none of them saw the bouquet. Then, in a confused tone, a girl
asked, “Why is it here?”
Wearing a pink silk gown, Isabe clutched a ca lily bouquet, and stared in awe at those women who
had copsed in front of her.
Isabe was dressed up and put on heavy makeup. As a result, no one suspected she was under the
age of 18. They all knew she was Anna’s adopted daughter, but they had no idea how old she was.
Under everyone’s gaze, Isabe chewed her gum and handed the bouquet to the woman next to her.
“I’m not even 18, so | don’t need this.”
Everyone thought she had a valid point. The woman beside her took ae ee the bouquet and said, “I’ve
got it! I’ve got it!”
The crowdughed once more and began grabbing the bouquet. “Let the bride throw it again,”
someone said loudly.
Then everyone began pushing each other around again. Isabe stumbled after being knocked down.
Thankfully, someone behind her reached out to help her.
She looked up to thank the person after she kept her bnce. When she realized who the person was,
she froze. “Jasper?” she asked in surprise.
Jasper was wearing a brown suit with a navy bow tie. He was looking at her through his gold-rimmed
sses with a steady gaze. Then he said a bit angrily, “Who chose the shoes for you? They don’t fit
you at all.”
Isabe, who was always bold, stood up straight and stopped chewing
her gum any longer. “Aunt Peace chose them for me,” she stammered.
“Let’s go change your shoes, Isabe. They’ll wear out your heels.”
“I’m fine. Plus, the weddings still going on.”
“Come on, you have nothing to do with thetter part. Or are you going to grab the bouquet again?
You’re still a teenager, so there’s no point for you to catch it.”
Isabe raised her head thoughtfully and said, “Jasper, I’ll be an adult tomorrow. Today is my
eighteenth birthday!” Her birthday fell on the same day as the wedding. As a result, she didn’t expect
anyone to remember this fact.
Despite wearing high heels, Isabe was much shorter than Jasper. She felt depressed when she
looked up at him. She’d never given these things much thought before, but she couldn’t exin why
she became sad when she saw him. 437 Catching the Bouquet
Jasper reached out his clean and dry broad palm to her. He seemed gentle and mature. He said, “I
remembered your birthday and bought you gifts. Come on. I’ll give them to you right away.”
“Really? Did you actually buy me a gift?”
“I’ve never lied to you.”
Then Isabe burst outughing. She realized Jasper had never lied to her in all her years of knowing
him. He would never fail to keep his promises to her.
Awhileter, they entered the lounge a short distance away. Jasper knelt down and put on a pair of
gleaming gray high heels from arge box for her.
“Do you like them?” He asked tenderly.
Isabe said with a smile, “Of course | do! But why did you choose high heels for me? You know |
rarely wear them.”
Isabe couldn’t walk quickly in high heels, so she always wore sneakers.
saw these shoes in the store and thought they would be perfect for you.”
Isabe chuckled and said, “Oh! | assumed it would have a romantic meaning. For example, | could
meet the perfect guy for me in the perfect ce in these shoes.”
Jasper nced at her, “Why not think about how you will write your personal statement for college
application if you have nothing better to dotely? You can’t spend all day watching romantic movies.”
“Why? You appear to have seen a lot of romantic movies, too.”
“You’ve only been here for a month, so since when did you be as talkative as Anna?” Jasper froze
and asked. 437 Catching the Bouquet
Isabe smiled smugly, looked at Jasper, and said, “I’m proud of myself for that. By the way, | thought
you wouldn’te to the wedding today.”

why?”
| heard that you used to have a crush on Anna the other day. Is that true?”
“You didn’t know about that before?”
Tammy had called him “Dad” since he was a child, so Jasper assumed everyone knew he was once in
love with Anna.
“It doesn’t make a difference. Actually, I’m very interested in it. Do you find it upsetting that Anna is now
married to someone else?”
Jasper had pondered this question many times before. But, because Anna had never married before,
he had no idea how he should feel about it. He’d just seen her standing next to Wayne, and she looked
ecstatic. Then he knew his answer.
He shook his head and said, “It’s fine, actually. I’m not sad at all. Anna and | have known each other for
many years. Sometimes, friendshipsts longer than love. Anna is now more of a confidante to me. I’m
not as young as | used to be, and I’m not looking for the perfect romance. I’m perfectly content with a
steady rtionship.”
Isabe froze and asked, “What about you and Lilly? You don’t love her anymore, and you know she’s
hysterical. Are you still willing to spend the rest of your life with her just to keep your rtionship
stable?”
“That is between adults. It’s really none of your concern, Isabe.”
Hearing that, Isabe became furious. She got to her feet and said, “No way! Jasper, | know you’ve
always treated me like a child. But I’m about to turn 18 tonight! Many boys at school have a crush on
me, so lean date guys every day if | want to. Only you keep treating me like a kid!” 437 Catching the
Bouquet
Jasper froze for a second as if he had traveled back six years ago when they first met each other. Back
then, he had just rescued Isabe from the river, and she had the same reaction to him when she
awoke. She grabbed his arm and bit him viciously.
“Lily and | are divorced,” Jasper told her calmly.
