NovelEnglishChapter 964 All eyes were on Aaron as he stood beneath the spotlight. The usual playfulness and laid-back demeanor were gone, replaced by a look of seriousness and sincerity. He walked with purpose, step by step, to the center of the stage. In the front row sat Aaron's parents. Though they weren't entirely pleased with their son's choice of bride, seeing this formal and committed side of him brought a sense of pride and contentment.
Behind them, Aaron's friends were seated. Lucas and Lance sat together, and Lance leaned over, saying, "Did you notice his hands shaking from the nerves?" Lucas smirked. "And you're not recording it to use against him later?" "Great idea." Lance, clearly amused, pulled out his phone and began recording Aaron's trembling fingers. Yes, this would give him something to tease Aaron about for years to come.
Onstage, the officiant was delivering solemn words of congratulations, and the music began to shift. Aaron turned toward the entrance just as the doors opened, revealing Selena in a stunning wedding gown.
By her side was Gavin, standing in as her older brother, fulfilling his role as the family's representative as he walked her down the aisle.

Following the officiant's instructions, they stopped in the middle of the aisle, not yet reaching Aaron. This was part of the ceremony-the symbolic exchange. Aaron approached them, ready to receive her.
As part of the formal handover, Gavin would give Selena's hand to Aaron, marking the start of their new life as one.
Aaron leaned forward slightly, extending his hand.
But Gavin hesitated.
Selena paused, confused, glancing up at Gavin.
Gavin's eyes were fixed on her hand, noticing how bare her ring finger was. If he wanted to, he could turn around and walk her out of here, away from it all. But no-he knew that wasn't an option anymore. She was already married, after all. This ceremony was just a formality.
Yet, for a brief moment, that thought lingered.
It was all in vain.
Aaron spoke up, his voice steady and clear. "Don't worry, brother. I'll spend my life proving that I love Selena." As he said this, his gaze was unwavering, full of determination.

If you don't, I won't hesitate to make sure there's no place for the Fletcher family in Cloudflare City." His words were calm, but those nearby heard them loud and clear, sending a wave of shock through the crowd. No one had realized that Selena had such powerful backing. With the Cooper family standing behind her, who would dare look down on her now? And by the look in Gavin's eyes, it was clear-he meant every word.
Aaron tightened his grip on Selena's hand. "That will never happen. I promise you that."
Selena, overwhelmed with emotion, felt her heart swell. She had always thought that Gavin had cas a favor to Aveline, but now she realized that both Gavin and Gernard truly saw her as their sister Tears welled up in her eyes. She had a family now, too.
The ceremony continued with loving glances, the exchange of rings, and a tender kiss to seal their vows. Everything was perfect. As the reception began, it was tfor the newlyweds to toast their guests, accompanied by the bridesmaid and best man.
Maria approached, holding a bottle of champagne, but she paused when she noticed oticed who was holding the tray next to her. It was Sidney. Her surprise was brief, quickly replaced by a calm smile. "How did he end up as the best man?" she wondered but kept her thoughts to herself.
