Chapter 1016 The Wedding 1
“Okay, I understand. You can head down first. I’ll join you shortly.” Tristan always respected Lincoln’s decisions because he held him in high regard.
“Hurry up. Quit dawdling!” Lincoln said before descending the stairs.
He had been greeting the guests downstairs, as it was his duty to do so. After all, it was his brother’s wedding. However, Tristan could not stay hidden from the guests.
When Sophie observed his reluctant return, she flashed a wide grin.
“All right, I know you’re busy today. There’s no need for you to stay here with me.” The bride often has a relatively easier time as compared to the groom.
“Okay, remember to give me a call if you need anything. I’ll bring it to you right away. Oh, by the way, I’ve arranged some food for you. Remember to eat later.” Sophie probably hasn’t had breakfast yet. She must be feeling hungry.
“Okay! You should hurry on!” She was aware that Lincoln had come upstairs to search for Tristan earlier, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to stay in the room any longer.
“Okay.”
After Tristan left, the three bridesmaids entered the room to keep her company.
Even on this busy day, Lincoln made sure to order food for Sophie as he didn’t want her to go hungry.
“Sophie, are you hungry? There’s plenty of delicious food here. You should eat some,” Ysabelle said as she brought the food over.
When Cecelia saw that Sophie was dressed in a way that made it inconvenient for her to eat, she offered to feed her friend.
“Make sure you eat your fill. You need to conserve your energy for the wedding ceremony tonight and consummate your marriage afterward.” Tristan had been waiting for this day for a long time.
They were unlikely to see much of Sophie for the whole of next week.
Sophie blushed at the mention of consummating their marriage. Tristan has been waiting for this day for a long time, but he should be too tired to do anything today.
Even though Ysabelle had already eaten earlier, she decided to eat again to keep Sophie company.
“That’s right, Sophie. You should eat more so that you have the strength to battle tonight.”
Normally, no one would have dared to provoke Tristan, but it seemed that these people wouldn’t let him off the hook so easily that day.
Sophie felt full after eating a small portion.
“Have you all had your meals? Georgina, have you eaten?” She was concerned about the woman’s introverted nature and wanted to ensure she was well taken care of.
Georgina smiled and replied, “Don’t worry about me. I’ve already eaten
Sophie was a warm-hearted person who tried her best to care for everyone around her.
“How could Arius possibly let her go hungry? He takes care of her so well!” Cecelia said enviously.
Everyone seemed to be in pairs, except for her. She was still alone.
However, there was nothing she could do about it. Her destiny had not yet arrived.
They continued chatting in the room. With her three bridesmaids’ company, Sophie didn’t feel bored.
Shortly after, a group of children from the relatives’ families arrived, eager to receive the wedding candies. Sophie stood up and fetch the treats for them..
Even though they came from affluent families, they were still children at heart. They were excited to receive the candies.
Furthermore, the young girls were mesmerized by Sophie’s beauty and refused to leave.
“Mommy, she’s so beautiful. Will I be as pretty as her when I grow up?”
“Mommy, I don’t want to go outside. Can I stay here? I want to keep gazing at the fairy.”
Some of the children refused the leave. They wanted to stay and watch the beautiful bride.
“Ms. Tanner, I apologize for their behavior. They are immature kids.”
“It’s all right. I’m glad they like me. They can stay here if they wish to.” Sophie replied, pleased with the children’s company. The little girls were all beautiful and well-behaved.
“We’re really sorry.” Despite their mothers’ embarrassment over their children’s behavior, they had no other option but to let them stay as the little ones adamantly refused to leave.
The wedding was held at a hotel in the evening. The wedding planning company had finished the preparations, and all the guests had arrived at the venue.
Caleb naturally had to turn up for the wedding. As he was getting ready to leave, Willow promptly stood
“Caleb, can I go with you? Don’t worry. I won’t cause any trouble,” she pleaded. After all, she did not have the courage to disrupt such an important occasion.
It was Tristan’s wedding.
She just wanted to attend the event.
“All right! Mom, you should go too! It’s Sophie’s wedding. We shouldn’t give others a chance to speak ill of us,” Caleb suggested. As a family, it was only fitting for them to be present on such an important day.
Charmaine nodded in agreement.
Of course! How can I possibly miss my daughter’s wedding? Once Sophie is married to Tristan, our standing in the social circle will undoubtedly rise. I can’t afford to miss such a momentous occasion.
Willow finally managed to attend the wedding as she wished.
When they arrived, Mark and the rest were already present. He merely nodded to acknowledge their
presence.
Even though he wasn’t very familiar with Sophie’s family, he knew their relationship was strained.
Meanwhile, Sophie had sent someone to escort Morgan to the hotel.
When Morgan arrived, he saw Caleb and the others. He knew that Willow and Charmaine didn’t like him so he didn’t bother approaching them.
There was no need to seek unnecessary trouble.
However, Caleb took the initiative to approach him.
“Morgan, why don’t you join us at our table?” Since most of the attendees were Tristan’s relatives and friends, it might be awkward for Morgan to sit alone with them.
“Sure, Mr. Tanner.” Morgan didn’t refuse the offer. After all, he was there to witness Sophie’s joyous union. Sitting at any table wouldn’t make much difference to him.
The venue for the wedding was the most prestigious hotel in the city. It was renowned for its exclusivity, often requiring reservations at least one month in advance.
Tristan had reserved the entire place for this special occasion and transformed it into a stunning setting for the grand celebration.
The hotel, having received a substantial payment, was more than willing to cater to the event’s needs. Every corner was adorned with colorful decorations that created a festive atmosphere.
The guests present at the event were all affluent and influential individuals. Access to the venue was strictly reserved for those with invitations.
Caleb brought Willow and Charmaine along, while Morgan had his own invitation. In fact, Sophie had personally handed Morgan his invitation.
She was indeed a kind-hearted woman.
As they entered the hotel, Charmaine couldn’t help but feel the stark contrast between her own social standing and the upper class.
She had always thought the Tanner family did not truly belong to the upper class. It was at this moment that she gained a profound understanding of what it truly meant to be part of the elite social circle.
