Chapter 1011 Wedding Finery
“To be honest, I still find things surreal, even now.” A grin adorned Tristan’s face.
“It’s real, Tristan. You’re really marrying Sophie very soon. On top of that, the two of you will live happily ever after,” Felix assured.
“Yeah. Go on and hit the sack. I reckon I won’t be able to sleep for the entire night.” Tristan did not want to go to bed.
How I wish tomorrow comes right away! Then, I can go and pick my beautiful bride up!
“I’ll keep you company, then.” We’re friends who grew up together, so I should stay by his side now, no?
“Come, let’s have a drink!”
Feeling that it did not matter to imbibe for a bit, Tristan poured Felix a glass of red wine.
“Why don’t you give Sophie a call? Perhaps she’s also no better than you, so excited that she can’t sleep!” Since he’s already bubbling with eagerness, he might as well phone her.
Tristan shook his head.
“What if she’s already asleep? I don’t want to disrupt her rest.”
Never had Felix seen the man in his current state.
He’s a man with absolute authority and influence in Jipsdale! Everyone who offends him will find themselves in dire straits. Yet, he’s now acting like a kid. Love can truly change a person. Who would’ve imagined that the cold and aloof Mr. Tristan would turn into his present self after meeting the person destined for him?
That night, there was another person who could not sleep. It was none other than William. No sooner had he dozed off than he dreamed of his deceased wife.
In his dream, she still appeared to be around thirty years old. She wore a white floral dress, looking as lovely as ever.
On the contrary, he was already old. Neither of them spoke, merely gazing at each other with tears streaming down their faces.
When he woke up, he could not sleep anymore. All his life, he had loved his wife deeply and irrevocably.
As for their children, he had also tried his best to fulfill his responsibilities as a father. He felt that his life was worth living.
His only regret was his inability to grow old with his wife. If there were a next lifetime, he still wanted to meet and love her.
Glancing at the time, he saw that it was getting late. Since he could not sleep, he draped a shirt over himself and got up.
At Sophie’s mansion, the top-notch makeup artists and stylists arrived at five o’clock on the dot.
Sophie had only fallen asleep at a little over three o’clock. After being dragged out of bed, she kept yawning in the chair.
Nonetheless, her makeup artist and stylist had already gotten to work. She had good looks in the first place, but the primary aspect of a traditional wedding was the hairstyle. By then, the hair stylist had started braiding and styling her hair.
Ysabelle, Cecelia, and Georgina had also come over. Arius had personally driven Georgina there. After doing so, he had to go to Tristan’s place. Then, he would head back alongside the groom’s party to pick the bride up.
Cecelia didn’t sleep well last night either. Whenever she thought of the events that had transpired between her and Sean, irritation swamped her.
Never had she been a person who dragged things out. Yet, she could not even recognize herself at present.
She downright loathed her current self. Alas, there was nothing she could do about it.
“Didn’t you sleep last night, Cecelia? Why are there prominent dark circles under your eyes?” Ysabelle asked in concern upon noticing her condition..
Cecelia stared at herself in the mirror. Oh well, matters of the heart are really out of one’s control.
“I’m fine. Perhaps I’ve been under too much pressure at work recently.” She did not elaborate on her matter. It was Sophie’s wedding that day, so she felt that there was no need to be unhappy because of her.
All she wanted was to see Sophie well.
Everything else did not matter anymore.
Georgina similarly cast a look at Cecelia. Hmm, for some reason, I find that something is off with her lately.
“Do you have a boyfriend, Ms. Lance?”
Cecelia was slightly taken aback. “Nope. I’ve always been single!”
“Oh, then I might have been mistaken.”
She appears to be pregnant. But I’m not all that close with her, and she has already denied having a boyfriend. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if I were to continue pursuing the subject?
As it was a traditional wedding, all three of them who were bridesmaids also wore the corresponding bridesmaid dresses.
They all had striking looks, especially Ysabelle and Cecelia. Each of them was beautiful in their own right. Coupled with their attires, they looked as if they had traveled to the future from ancient times.
“Such dress suits you perfectly, Ms. Lance! Won’t you consider filming a television series?” The makeup artist was Cecelia’s fan, and she was seized by the urge to shriek in excitement to see her dressed in such a manner.
“I don’t have such plans for the time being.” Right then, Cecelia was mainly focused on filming movies.
The duration for filming a television series was too long, and she was unused to it.
“All right, shall we go and see how Sophie is doing?” Sophie is the protagonist today!
“Sure! I’m also looking forward to seeing her. I heard that her wedding gown cost eight figures.” It’s just a wedding, but the expenses are sky-high!
When the three ladies arrived at Sophie’s room, Sophie was all ready, having changed and her makeup done.
She merely sat there quietly. Nonetheless, she could steal one’s heart away. If she had been born in ancient times with such a stunning countenance, the king would have certainly taken a fancy to her.
“Sophie, you… are simply gorgeous! I’ve never seen such a beautiful bride!” Ysabelle exclaimed.
Cecelia bobbed her head in agreement.
“You’d definitely shoot to stardom if you were to star in a fantasy drama with an ancient setting considering your looks.” With such a countenance, she’d have countless fans!
Likewise, Georgina nodded fervently.
Yeah, she’s beautiful, a veritable bombshell!
Indeed, Sophie was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen.
The phoenix on the red wedding gown on her was realistic to the point of being lifelike. Nevertheless, she had no problems pulling it off.
“See? I told you such traditional dress suits you perfectly!” the few makeup artists said jubilantly.
While the bride is stunning herself, and we merely accentuated her beauty, she’s still our masterpiece no matter what. Is that not so?
“If Uncle Tristan were to see you-tsk, tsk!” Despite being a girl, even I am besotted by her beauty, much less Uncle Tristan!
“What time is it now?”
It was also Sophie’s first time seeing herself so beautiful. Regretfully, there was a price to be paid, for such a makeover took more than two hours.
“A little over seven o’clock.”
“In that case, it’s almost time. Stay still, Ms. Tanner. There’s still a final step and that is placing the tiara on you.
The assistant took out the tiara. The moment Cecelia laid eyes on it, her jaw dropped in astonishment. Oh my God, she’s practically wearing a mansion on her head!
The tiara was a sight to behold.
Georgina went green with envy.
“Mr. Tristan is truly good to you, Sophie. He loves you beyond words.” Mr. Tristan has really expended a lot of effort on the wedding this time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have prepared all this.
“Yeah, he has always been good to me, and I’ve always known that.” How lucky am I to meet him! It’s not the amount of money he spent on me but all this thought he put in!
