"Well, don't stop asking for more."Just as they spun around for the fifth time, Jim finally could not hold it together anymore and snapped, "Hey, if you don't get ready soon, you'll miss the perfect timing!"Joshua snapped back to reality. He quickly put Luna down and pressed a kiss onto her forehead. "Alright. Time to get ready."Luna furrowed her brows at this, but before she could say anything, she was swept away backstage by Rachel and Bonnie.The makeup artist and assistant had been waiting for her, having already prepared the wedding dress beforehand.When Luna showed up, they quickly plopped her down in a chair and went to work. A few people helped her get changed into her dress, whereas a few others were in charge of styling her hair, and the rest were touching up her makeup.Luna finally had a taste of what it was like to be a celebrity with a team of stylists at her beck and call.She let out a bitter chuckle and said, "Well, if I had known this was the treatment I'd
[That's not entirely true.] Rachel's message was followed by a naughty emoji. [I'm not that childish, you know.]What happened between Theo and Roanne had long since been left in the past, and she no longer held a grudge over it.[It's just that I no longer have any longing for love and marriage.][It's no wonder people call you a weirdo.] Caleb's mischievous reply came quickly. [Hey, I have something interesting to tell you.][What is it?][I saw Gwen.] A photo was sent alongside Caleb's message. [I was visiting a friend in a small town down south, and I ran into her in an alleyway. I recognized her, but she didn't seem to remember me. We passed by each other in the streets, but I didn't stop her either. All I did was take this picture of her.]Rachel froze when she saw this, then clicked on the photo.It was indeed Gwen. She was wearing a beige floral dress, her hair spilling across her back as she made her way down a cobblestone street, holding a blue umbrella. She was just a
Luna and Bonnie were glued to their chairs for a little over an hour while their makeup artists and hairstylists worked their magic.When the clock struck ten, the two brides were escorted to the end of the stage by Rachel and Shannon.Charles and Rosalyn flanked the end of the stage, with Rosalyn clinging onto her walking stick."Luna." Charles reached out and stared at Luna. "I'll give you away to Joshua."Luna nodded and grabbed hold of his arm.Rosalyn, on the other hand, offered her arm to Bonnie. "Even though you don't have any family, you're Luna's best friend, and I have always treated you as my own daughter, so let me take the place of your parents and give you away to Jim."Bonnie froze, then nodded as tears welled up in her eyes. "Okay."She used to wonder who would give her away at her wedding, considering none of her parents would be there.Would she have to walk all the way down the red carpet herself?It was not until this final moment that she realized the Land
Rachel raised her brows and handed him the bouquet. "Alright. you can have it." Theo paused, and the expression on his face became a little more twisted. "Aren't you going to ask me who I'm getting married to?" "You can get married to anyone you want." Rachel curled her lips into a smile. "As long as it's not me." With that, she pushed him away and turned to leave. She had just taken two steps when Theo grabbed hold of her arm. He furrowed his brows and fixated his intense stare on her. "Rachel, are you…are you really okay with the idea of me marrying someone else?" Rachel raised her brows in amusement and turned to meet his gaze. "Well, I wasn't okay when you insisted on marrying Roanne, but what did that get me in the end? What difference does it make whether I'm okay with it or not?" Theo fell silent upon hearing this. Then, he took a small step back, his eyes still fixated on her. "I know what I did wrong now, and I've been trying my best to make amends to you in hopes
Gwen furrowed her brows and instinctively turned to glance behind her. A man dressed entirely in black, with a cap and a face mask, was sitting at a table not far away from hers, staring at her. When he noticed her looking, however, he quickly picked up the menu and pretended to skim through it. "He looks a little suspicious…" The waiter frowned and reminded her in a voice that was barely above a whisper, "Do you need me to call the cops?" "No need." Gwen smiled. "Thank you for your kindness." The waiter paused, unable to believe his ears. "Do you know him?" "I guess you can say that." She curled her lips into a smile and pointed at the menu. "Get him one of these, but don't tell him I sent you." "Alright." As puzzled as the waiter was, he still nodded and abided by her request. After the waiter left, Gwen glanced once more at the man in the distance, then returned to enjoying her tea. This man had been following her around for about a month now, and at the start, she h
Somewhere not far behind Gwen, a man wearing black attire stood there looking at Gwen with a shocking look, "Gwen, is that you? Do you still remember me? I'm Winson Tinker!"Gwen frowned while she tried to search in her memory and a smile slowly appeared on her face. "Winson Tinker? Yes, I remember you!"Winson and Gwen went to the same high school in Sea City. Gwen and Luna would sit together in class and Winson would sit in the row behind Luna. During then, they were so young. It was common for them to copy homework from each other, asked each other questions about homework, ate snacks sneakily during class, and helped each other to take cover when the teacher was questioning them.After they graduated from high school, Gwen started dating Ben at university. That was when she lost contact with Winson.Never had she expected to meet Winson in this rural town in the south."Wow, it has been such a long time. You are more and more beautiful!" Winson smiled, "Let's grab a drink toge
Winson frowned and surveyed around. "Who is protecting you?"Smiling at Gwen, he said, "Come on, old friend. I'm not a bad guy. You don't have to be so wary of me."At that time, he walked over to Gwen's side and extended his hand out to put on Gwen's shoulder. "I just want to send you home, that's all."Gwen frowned and moved her body to avoid his hand. A faint smile was still on her face. "It had been a long time since we met. I don't feel good having to trouble you."Right after that, she waved her hand at him and hurried to leave.Winson remained where he was and looked at Gwen dashing over to the next street. His eyes squinted. Suddenly, his phone rang."Are you sure that's Gwen Larson?" A male spoke coldly from the other side of the phone.Winson frowned, "Yes, that's her. We talked and I've her contact now.""That's good." The man continued to talk coldly, "Think of a way to trick her back to Sea City.""I know." Winson squinted his eyes. The gentle feeling disappeared
Andy's words shocked Gwen. "Why are they looking for me?"Andy sighed helplessly, "Gwen, I don't believe you don't know the answer to that. When Luke was still alive, many people in his gang had strongly expressed how much they disliked you. They always wanted Luke to dump you and leave you. They even said your presence was the reason Luke was losing his credibility and prestige…""After Luke died because of you, they didn't do anything. Mostly because they wanted to wait a while and not do anything immediately after Luke's death. Now… They are finally making their moves."Her father's voice sounded like he had aged a lot within the day. "There are already two to three groups of people coming to the house looking for you… Due to Joshua's power in Banyan City, they did not do anything to the company. I'm old and they always thought you and me have fallen out after your divorce with Ben… So they didn't do anything to me too.""But seriously, I'm warning you. Don't come back to Sea Ci
