A few days later, Jarrived at a small church in the suburbs, wearing a simple white slip dress.
She was getting married today.She was going to marry a man she had never seen before.She didn’t bother renting a wedding
dress because she didn’t want to pay for it. Jhad to pay the medical fees for Hannah’s surgery.She bought swhite
baby’s-breath in a flower shop and asked the seller to give her an extra white silk ribbon to braid her hair. Jlooked pure and
innocent.
It was tfor the wedding, but the groom hadn’t arrived yet. The wedding venue was almost empty — only a few people had
arrived.
“Don’t worry. He’s probably stuck in traffic. Let’s wait a little longer,” Bernie comforted Janet.
Janet’s breathing faltered.
She had heard something about the man she was going to marry. His nwas Ethan Lester. The man didn’t have a decent job
and was an idler who wasted his thanging out with punks from the streets all the time.
The thought of marrying someone like him made Jstomach churn with anxiety, but she had no choice.
“Why hasn’t the groom and his family arrived yet?” Fiona frowned and glanced at the handful of people in the church. She was
It seemed like the Lester family didn’t value the marriage. However, Jwasn’t bothered. She only cared about Hannah’s
medical expenses.
Jleaned closer to Fiona and whispered, “Will you givethe money as soon as the wedding is over?”
She had promised her adoptive parents to trade her marriage for money to save Hannah’s life.
“We are family. Why do you keep talking about money all the time? Don’t worry. I will give you the money as promised. Don’t
keep asking about it.” Regardless of how gentle Fiona tried to sound, impatience was evident in her voice.
Meanwhile, Jocelyn also arrived.
She walked into the church in a splashy outfit and expensive jewelry, holding her boyfriend’s arm.
She strutted toward Bernie and Fiona with a smug smile. She had stolen Janet’s wealthy boyfriend, leaving her to marry the
worthless illegitimate child of the Lester family.
Steve’s brows furrowed when he saw Jin her wedding dress. A ball of guilt settled in the pit of his stomach.
It was all his fault. A moment’s passion had ended his relationship with the love of his life. Jwas going to marry someone
else.
He didn’t intend to attend the wedding. Jocelyn had practically dragged him to the church. However, he couldn’t refuse after
learning that Jocelyn was pregnant with his child.
she despised.
Nothing had changed even after all these years. Jmanaged to captivate everyone with her charm. People always paid
attention to her instead of Jocelyn.
Jealousy reared its ugly head. Jocelyn grew furious and began yelling at Steve, irrespective of the occasion. “Believe it or not, I’ll
gouge your eyes out. What the hell is so good about that bitch? Why are you staring at her like that?”
Then, she turned and sneered. “Why hasn’t the bridegroom arrived yet? The man is late for his own wedding. How could he be
reliable? His family hasn’t bothered to ceither. It looks like they don’t care about that bastard.”
Jocelyn was a princess at home. No one would blher for making such rude comments. However, they were in a public
place, and she was the bride’s sister. Her rude, presumptuous behavior had becthe topic of everyone’s gossip.
Jgently lifted her hemline and stepped forward. Jhad tolerated Jocelyn regardless of how arrogant and heartless she
had been in the past. However, she couldn’t put up with her nonsense anymore. “Jocelyn, don’t call anyone a bastard! You’re in
a church now. Mind your language! Don’t you have basic manners?”
Jocelyn was taken aback. She had never seen Jlike this — the woman had always been tolerant.
Hearing that, the church fell silent. Just then, the gate creaked open.
A tall man stepped inside. The dazzling sunlight seemed to outline his slender frame.
As the church gate closed again, the man looked up. His deep eyes swept across the crowd, his lips pursed into a thin line. He
buttoned up his suit and smoothed his coat as if he had chere in a hurry.
The sunlight cast a soft glow on his handsface. It looked like God had put all effort into creating him. All eyes were on him
as if he had cast a spell on everyone in the church.
