During the wedding ceremony, the hotel was open, and although anyone without an invitation shall not get access, it was hard to guarantee that no one could sneak in. The task was not easy for the security personnel to maintain secure facilities at that time. However, Joseph was determined to find out what exactly had happened, while the hotel management took responsibility for the wedding dress's disappearance and ran a complete investigation.
The lawn became a party venue, and the wedding was boisterous. The elders just left after finishing the meal, while most of the younger ones were still there. As the sunset appeared, the dance party began.
Thereafter, Joseph and Irish changed their clothes and started the party with their first dance as a couple. A handsome man dancing with a beautiful woman portrayed an excellent picture against the moonlight.
As the party got exciting, Irish gradually got drunk. Joseph just held her tightly beside him as she took up another glass of wine. He hastily grabbed it away and drank it.
As the celebration ran longer, Irish drank with her friends in a mad way.
Lilith also drank too much, and she just leaned against the chair. The glass in her hand was grabbed away by someone. She raised her head and found that it was Jay.
Lenard hadn't joined the wedding as he had an important appointment.
Against the moonlight, Lilith looked at Jay's face. She just couldn't move her eyes away.
Jay sighed, "Let me send you back."
No one knew when the party could end, but it would be more dangerous for a girl who drank so much and was alone.
Lilith shook her head momentarily.
eαglesnᴏνel "I can call Lenard for you and let him pick you up." Jay was to take his phone out.
Lilith stretched her arms and slung around Jay's neck without warning, and soon she cried in drunkenness, "Why don't you love me? Why? Will you feel sad when I really marry someone else? Do you still love me?"
Jay was stunned after hearing Lilith's outburst, and their surroundings seemed to stop, making him lost for a moment.

Jay's heart was broken.
He resisted his sorrows after a while and just said lightly, "You're drunk."
Lilith stopped crying and released her arms slowly. She stepped back and looked at him with tearful eyes, "Yes, I am drunk... you're right, I'm drunk."
Thinking about things that happened recently to her, she remembered Lenard's family and her family were both discussing their marriage date already. How could she stop this sad fate?
Even if she wanted to stop her fate, how about Jay?
Would he really take her away?
It seems Impossible.
She could feel his strong will obviously, so actually, she was defeated already. She was not important to him. If she were, Jay would fight for her. Looking at Jay, she realized he had his own pursuits, his own family, and his own career.
Jay clenched his fists and held her, "Let me send you back."
"No." After crying, Lilith was awake. She smiled lightly, "Today is my cousin's wedding. I am happy for them, so I want to accompany them."
"But you are drunk."
"Don't worry, Lenard will pick me up." She said with an exhausted voice.
Jay released his hands helplessly.
On the other side of the lawn, Daisy also drank a lot, but she was allowed to drown herself today since she efficiently did all her business tasks and entertainment activities those few days with Joseph.
A bit tipsy, she just sat on the lounge beside the lawn.
As she turned around, she got into a man's chest.
Soon her waist was held, and a man laughed above her head, "Drank too much?"
Daisy was frightened, and she stepped back. She raised her head and found that it was Bowen.
"Mr. Bowen, I'm so...so sorry."
Bowen laughed loudly, "Are you okay?
"Ah, I'm okay." Daisy was scared of this man, and she tried her best to appear calm and make her words clear.
She was thinking of an excuse to leave, but Bowen just said, "Let's sit in the rest area, shall we?"
Bowen was Joseph's friend. Daisy did not want him to be unhappy, so she followed him.
Few people were in the rest area since most people came to have fun. Bowen ordered the waiter to take some hydromel for Daisy. Daisy was grateful as she took over the hydromel.
"Daisy, you are so beautiful today." Suddenly Bowen said.
Daisy coughed as she heard it. Bowen smiled and patted her back.
Daisy didn't want to come closer to him, so she just sat far from him and said lightly, "I'm okay now. Thank you, Mr. Brown."
Bowen was a bit annoyed as he heard, "Do not always call me Mr. Brown."
Daisy felt more terrified. She instantly explained, "You are Mr. Dover's friend. Of course, I need to call you Mr. Brown."
Bowen didn't answer but just looked at her curiously.
The atmosphere turned strange between them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a while, Bowen said, "Are you afraid of me?"
"Ah?" Daisy was in a daze. Yes, she was afraid of him, but she couldn't spurt it out.
"You misunderstood me." Bowen laughed loudly. "It's said that you are very intelligent, clever, and calm, but why is it that when I see you, you look not smart?"
Daisy tried her best to squeeze a smile. If other women had heard that, she would have left immediately.
"Daisy, how old are you?" Bowen leaned against the sofa and asked while smiling.
It was impolite to ask a woman her age. Daisy thought that Bowen must have had this kind of attitude, but she couldn't refuse to answer. She just answered unwillingly, "29."
She was the same age as Irish.
Bowen nodded, and he asked again, "Do you have a boyfriend now?"
Daisy was surprised by his question.
"No one?" Bowen looked at her and shook his head, "Joseph is so cruel."
"Yes, Mr. Bowen, I...I have a boyfriend." Daisy didn't feel ashamed of her lie.
Bowen raised his eyebrow, feeling pitiful. "Someone always chases a beautiful woman."
Daisy really wanted to leave now.
"What does he do?" He was really curious.
"He..." She felt it was difficult to make up another lie, but she had no other way, "He is an engineer."
Bowen noticed her lie, "Where does he work?"
Daisy felt it was more difficult to answer, "Just a small company. It's not so famous."
