“We've discussed it earlier. You just have to propose a toast to those at the first three
tables, then you can head to the private room and get srest. I'll handle the rest,”
Jared said. They had to avoid any activity that might exhaust Ellen.
“Okay.” Ellen felt warm in her heart. While staying on the island, she had gotten closer
to the Presgraves and felt that they were truly caring and compassionate.
The guests were dressed to the nines and ready to attend the wedding. Connor and
his family were wearing the clothes that Olivia had borrowed, making them look less
ordinary. “Mom, this dress is too small. It doesn’t fit,” Selena complained.
“Stop complaining when you have a nice dress to wear! Just don’t eat too much later,”
Olivia retorted. Suddenly thinking of something, she turned to look at her husband
anxiously. “Connor, did Ellen call you and ask you to walk her down the aisle?”
“No.” “Every bride needs an elder to walk her down the aisle. You're her closest
relative, so why didn’t she call you?” Olivia asked in shock. Connor was embarrassed

to do that.”
“| suppose Ellen no longer regards us as relatives, huh? How is she going to walk
down the aisle and go on stage without you? Is she going to do that on her own? That
will be laughable!” Nothing good ever cout of Olivia's mouth.
Connor shot her a stern look. “It's Ellie's big day. so don’t say any nonsense as there
will be many guests at the wedding. You mustn't. embarrass her.”
“Do you think she’s still your dearest Ellie? She probably won't spare us a glance
again after the wedding.” Olivia sneered.
Selena was fed up with their argument, so she went to the yard and happened to see
Josephine and her mother leaving the villa, ready to head to the wedding.
Presently, Josephine was clad in a light blue. dress with her hair hung loose on her
shoulders. She looked charming and refreshing. A hint of resentment flashed across
Selena’s eyes. She had always been a crafty. person, but the woman managed to
snatch. Ethan from her the night before. It was only natural that she was vexed. Just
you wait, Josephine. I'll let you know the consequences of offending me!
Meanwhile, Josephine and her mother entered the car and headed to the wedding. As
the breeze whisked through her, she looked out the window and spaced out. When
they passed by the walkway where Ethan carried her in his arms the night before, she
suddenly wondered why the man was willing to lend her a helping hand.
Has he fallen in love with me? Well, a handsman like him isn’t husband material,
and it's not like he can look young forever. Moreover, many women will try to snatch
him from me, and he might even cheat on me.
After the analysis, Josephine felt that she'd better remain single. After all, there were
many single people at her station, and they were all capable people who lived their
lives to the fullest. Soon, Connor's car was ready, and they went to the wedding
together.

There was a long stretch of roses that extended from the area where the guests got
out of their cars to the banquet hall roughly 600 feet away. The roses were beautiful
and fragrant. As the guests walked along the path, they felt rejuvenated. Olivia was
dumbfounded. “How much does it all cost? A bouquet of roses is already worth a ton
at the florist!”
Selena was walking in front when she heard her mother’s words, so she couldn't help
but turn her head and retort, “Mom, stop behaving like a poor person. Do you want
everyone to find out we're not rich?”
Olivia naturally wouldn't admit that she wasn’t from a well-to-do family. Upon hearing
her daughter's words, she felt aggrieved, for she indeed behaved like one.
The banquet hall could accommodate 500 people, and it was full of guests now. Gold
and red were the main colors, making the wedding look solemn and magnificent.
A wedding like this was every woman's dream. Olivia was awestruck, whereas Selena
was green with envy, Jared was willing to spend so much money to hold a grand
wedding for Ellen. If any woman could marry a man like him, she would die with no
regrets.
