    "No way, no way, carving is such a demanding task. You''re the star of the day, being newlyweds and all. Since when does the star of the show lift a finger?"


    But what really mattered was the piece of stone that had just been delivered. Even Tristan himself felt a chill looking at it.


    How on earth was he supposed to start?


    Sienna scolded, "I told you not to mess with these silly ns. If you''re going to order something, order it in advance. Rushing something like thisst minute, do you have any idea how frustrated I am? I could yell at you!"


    "I didn''t want it to be this way either, but we haven''t been able to get in touch with Master Sylvie at all!"


    Tristan had nned to feature a piece by Master Sylvie at Noe''s wedding.


    Master Sylvie''s works had fetched sky-high prices in the past few years, marking her as a world-ss master with an increasingly busy schedule!


    Noe spoke up calmly, "Oh, I didn''t know Dad was handling it. I left all the wedding preparations to him."


    Tristan was stunned.


    While he was still processing, Noe had already called over the crew from Pris Star, dividing the stone into sections. Except for the most crucial part, the head, which Noe took upon herself to carve, the rest was a coborative effort to save time.


    Watching Noe carve with such expertise and fluidity, Tristan''s jaw hit the floor!


    "So our precious girl is... Master Sylvie?"


    No wonder all these years when he bought pieces from Master Sylvie, she insisted on not taking money, just a nominal fee for the craftsmanship! Tristan had thought it was because his taste in art matched Master Sylvie''s...


    Little did he know, his daughter was Master Sylvie herself!


    Phecda chuckled, "Only our boss would end up working on her own wedding day. Talk about a unreliable delivery service."


    Tristan was momentarily lost for words!


    After quickly picking his jaw up from the floor, Tristan turned around to massage Noe''s shoulders.


    "Don''t overdo it!"


    "I know, it''s nothing major."


    Noe quickly finished her part. ording to Tristan''s wishes, the sculpture was to be of Noe and Palmer in their wedding attire, ced in the most prominent spot.


    ra outright refused, "Dad, sculptures of real people are usually for memorials. Can''t you think of something more appropriate?"


    Who would put a life-size sculpture of the bride and groom in the hall at their wedding?


    Just the thought of it made it hard to bear!


    Instead, they ended up carving cute chibi versions of the couple, using paints taken from Master Killian, making them look even more adorable.


    Tristan was thrilled with the sculpture, "So cute! Dad is already looking forward to seeing your kids!"


    They would surely be just as adorable as these two little figures!


    As the wedding bells chimed, Noe, with her crown and veil back on, ced her hand on Tristan''s wrist. Three little ones followed behind, holding up her train, as they stepped onto the red carpet.


    The wedding march echoed, filling every corner of the ind with its sacred and solemn melody.


    At the other end of the red carpet, Palmer, holding the bouquet, stared at his approaching bride, his eyes misting over.


    He strode towards Noe, and before Tristan could utter his heartfelt words, he burst into tears.


    "Palmer, oh! I only have two daughters, and both have been swept away by your family! Noe is my treasure, you must treat her well for life! Otherwise, I won''t let you off even as a ghost!"


    Noe, between tears andughter, quickly dabbed at Tristan''s eyes with a handkerchief.


    "Dad, I''ll still live at home after getting married. Palmer''s ce is just next door. We agreed, it''s just a wedding, not a departure."


    Yet Tristan couldn''t bear it, wailing and jumping down to cling to Sienna''s legs.


    Sienna remarked, "Your dad is making a spectacle of himself. Don''t mind him; carry on!"


    Though she said this, Sienna''s eyes were also brimming with tears. If not for fear of ruining her makeup, she might have joined Tristan in his disy. Sitting among the guests, Lavinia wiped away her tears, "I understand Mr. Schnabelpletely."


    If ra were to get married, she doubted she''d fare any better than Tristan!


    Jacob Pock by her side promptly dered, "I''d at least handle it better!" "Oh?"


    "I''ll save my tears forter."


    Laviniaughed, the somber mood instantly lifted.


    The wedding proceeded as nned.


    Noe admired the ring on her finger, a stone she had mined and polished herself into a shape she loved, leaving the rest for Palmer to work on. Together, they had created something unique!


    Below, Tristan and Jasper were a mess of tears, a ratherical sight.


    Ulrich, sitting upright, dabbed at his eyes and solemnly said, "Honey, let''s just have sons-inw in the future. Daren can do as he pleases, but I can''t bear the thought of our daughter getting married!"


    Even Palmer, living just next door, was too much for Tristan to let Noe go!


    The wedding had been arranged so that Noe would still live with the Schnabel family after, with Palmer simply moving in as well. Malvina patted Ulrich''s shoulder.


    "Just the other day, I heard Daren saying only his children could carry the Schnabel name. From now on, Ophelia''s children will carry the Schnabel name too!"


    Ulrich was quick topromise: "I''ve already fired that nanny, honey, don''t worry! Besides, the surname doesn''t matter. If you want, I''d even take yourst name!"


    Malvina gave him a reproachful look.


    "I have no affection for the Gruber family! It''s a blessing to have our children bear the Schnabel name, growing up in such a family makes me happy!" "Besides... your daughter doesn''t really need your worry."


    Malvina nced at Ophelia, who stubbornly clung to Gavin''s leg, and sighed.


    Ophelia gazed up at Noe Palmer on stage, her cheeks flushed with a timid smile, "Gavin, when I grow up, will you marry me too?"This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Gavin blinked in surprise, "Uh... what?"


    "Just like Auntie and Uncle! Gavin, you''re so handsome, our wedding would be picture-perfect! We could have our names on a fancy sign at the entrance - Gavin and Ophelia!"


    Something felt off to Gavin, but he couldn''t quite put his finger on it.


    "Let''s talk about it when we''re older, little sis Ophelia."


    "Don''t forget I proposed to you, okay?"


    Ulrich rubbed his chin, bewildered, "Where did she pick that up from?"


    Malvina chuckled, "Must be in the genes. Her dad proposed on the first day he confessed his love, after all."


    Recalling the events of years past, Ulrich joined in theughter, intertwining his fingers with Malvina''s.


    "Thanks, love. I''m really happy now!"


    Stirling had invited famous media outlets from around the globe to cover the grand wedding!


    The champagne for the celebration, air-shipped by Tristan, was poured into a tower by the newlyweds, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere.


    Millie, holding a ss of champagne, was just about to take a sip when Jasper snatched it away.


    "You''ve still got that injury on your arm; no alcohol for you, I''ll drink it."


    Watching Jasper down the champagne right in front of her, Millie fumed, "Are you out of your mind? It''s just a bit of champagne!"


    "Ulrich said you shouldn''t drink."


    "And why not? It''s not like I''m gonna get drunk!"


    Jasper coughed, lowering his voice, "Malvina thinks you look pregnant."


    Millie, hand mid-air ready to p, paused and withdrew, instead touching her belly.


    "Pregnant? With what? Cheeseburgers, BBQ ribs, or icedttes?"


    Jasper panicked, "Obviously, mine! Mine!"


    Millie''s gaze shifted suspiciously between Jasper''s face and her stomach.


    "You? Are you sure you''re up to it?"


    "What''s that supposed to mean?"


    She was doubting his capability!


    Millie rubbed her belly, "I''ll go see my mentor and then we''ll know for sure."


    Once Noe, dressed in her toast attire, confirmed Millie''s pregnancy, Millie mused, "Just from that one time identally pulled down the young master''s pants, and now I''m pregnant."


    A chorus of gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd.


    Jasper, cheeks ame, quickly covered Millie''s mouth and whisked her away!


    La eximed with excitement, "We''re gonna have a little one in our family! I''m not the baby anymore!"


    After a moment''s thought, she added, "But still the prettiest!"


    Ophelia, on her tiptoes, reached for Noe''s hand, "Auntie, when will you have a little baby?"


    Noe winked at her, gently stroking the young girl''s cheek, "Maybe the little one is up in the stars right now, choosing their mommy, wondering if they


    should pick me."


    "Absolutely! Hey, little star baby, listen up! My auntie and uncle are the best, absolutely the best. Hurry up ande!"


    Everyone couldn''t help butugh at Ophelia''s adorable earnestness.


    As the waltz yed, everyone


    stepped onto the dance floor,


    Ophelia pulling Gavin along to dance too. The children twirled and twisted until they eventually fell asleep amidst the fun.


    Beyond the dance floor stretched a vast, azure sea.

    Noe and Palmer locked eyes, the moonlight reflecting in their clear, bright eyes, illuminating all before them like the bright lights of the Obelisk Organization over the Abyssal Organization, with fireworks lighting up the night sky, as splendid


    as day.


    At the beach''s edge, four sturdy men squatted, sharing drinks.


    Watching the fireworks, Thorpe grinned, "Beautiful, just like tonight''s moon and tomorrow''s sun."


    But even better is having the people we wait for the sunrise with right beside us!
