“Thank you,” Lorelai responded as she reached for Anastasia’s wedding gown. Anastasia accepted Lorelai’s kindness.

Anastasia looked at the time after Lorelai had finished arranging her dress and said, “In one hour’s time, it will be an auspicious time. I heard that the guests have arrived. The island will be bustling today.”

At this point, steady footsteps could be heard from the stairs. The door was then pushed open to reveal Elliot entering with a black suit. Instead of his usual tie, he was wearing a black bow tie, and the dark sapphire cufflinks exuded an exceptional and extravagant aura, making him more mature and attractive.

He looked best with his hair slicked back, and his hair was combed behind his head. His sharp facial features made him appear charming and fashionable.

Elliot was surprised to see Lorelai, but his gaze was drawn affectionately to his wife. His eyes were wide with surprise as he looked up and down at Anastasia.

Anastasia became shy when she was stared at, but she was also drawn to his handsome appearance today. The two of them were so in love that they forgot there was a third party beside them.

Lorelai looked at them before slightly lowering her gaze to hide the light in her eyes. She then pursed her red lips tightly, as if trying to conceal something.

“Lorelai, may I speak with my briefly?” Elliot inquired. wife Only then did she realize she was being a third wheel. “I won’t bother you two then,” she said with a smile.

He wrapped his strong arm around Anastasia’s waist and hugged her tightly, bringing her beautiful face close to his eyes.

“I thought you were normally beautiful, but I didn’t expect you to be even more stunning,” he added, his voice hoarse and his eyes shining with admiration.

Anastasia also thought he was attractive and captivating, but she didn’t expect him. to be drop dead gorgeous today.

“Mr. Presgrave, I’ll be Mrs. Presgrave soon. Do you have anything to say to me?” She wrapped her arms around his neck to smell the cool and charming. breath on his body.

“Congratulations, Mrs. Presgrave.’ Elliot’s lips curled into a deep smile..

“And congratulations, Mr. Presgrave. He pressed his lips against hers as she smiled. He couldn’t help but kiss her because she was so lovely.

Anastasia’s original red lips were lovely, but Elliot moisturized them and enhanced her beauty..

Lorelai walked out of the villa and into the field where three girls approached her, one of whom addressed her as ‘Miss Lorelai.’

She didn’t seem to hear it because she was lost in her thoughts, and the three girls couldn’t help but stare at each other. What is Miss Lorelai thinking about so deeply that she is unaware of our approach?

Lorelai moved toward an open space. Her eyes turned red as she looked out the window at the guests, as if she was filled with sadness.

“Lorelai, you have one duty that you must fulfill. Your life can never be yours if you don’t fulfill it,” said Lorelai’s father.

“Dad, why am I not allowed to go back to the country? I want to see him. I miss him.”

“No, you can’t. You must quell your feelings and bide your time to appear in front of him.”

“Lorelai, he’s going to get married. You should come back to the country to attend his wedding.”

Lorelai closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Money was the root of all evil.

Had the Presgrave Family not amassed such abundant wealth, there would be no ideas about them. Who wouldn’t turn into a green-eyed monster when Elliot alone owned a fortune that was equivalent to that of a small country?

Still, there were strict family rules that restrained the Presgraves. As though the rule-maker had been through the affliction of being surrounded by voracious family and friends, he had drawn up a customary system that was passed on generation by generation.

In order to avoid complicated situations and power struggles, working in the Presgrave Group was off-limits to the Presgraves. Therefore, it was reasonable to say that Elliot possessed every penny the family had, whereas the others could only establish their own business. They couldn’t enjoy one bit of the money that the Presgrave Group brought in.

Even though they had achieved success in every industry thanks to the family’s influence, a shining star was undeniably pale in comparison to the bright moon.

The greedy frog in them had been fed little by little as the days went by, hence the strong desire to own everything. Like the avaricious ministers of the country, they were approaching closer and closer to the throne to take over it and hog everything.

Nonetheless, the family and the family honor had always been one; the comprehensive system had included rules that could protect the other members of the family. Thus, they were. never neglected despite the rigid rules.

It was Elliot’s wedding, where all of the elderly family members-the greedy snakes-were present, and beneath the harmonious facade were calculative schemes.

In a white suit, Jared, the little prince, dashed into Anastasia’s make-up room. He hugged his mother before sizing her up. “Mommy, you look so pretty!”

Due to the train of the wedding dress, she wasn’t able to return the hug, so she crouched down to stroke his head. Her eyes were smitten with warmth as she gazed at the face that resembled Elliot. “Jared, are you happy?”

“Totally! Daddy and Mommy can love me together forever!” There was no reason for him to be upset, as he wished to have a younger sibling accompany him.

“Yeah, we’ll love you forever. Anastasia’s eyes reddened because of the sudden sadness. Is Jared going to be like Elliot in the future? When the time comes, will he be crushed by the weight of the responsibilities he has to bear as the head of the family?

She thought Jared could grow up happily without worries and marry someone he loved in the future. Given his intelligence and capability, it would be a no-brainer for him to get a decent job like a doctor or lawyer. Yet, those little shoulders of his were already bearing the weight now.

Perturbed, Anastasia pulled him into her arms before giving him a kiss on the head.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Jared sensed the tinge of sorrow in her.

“It’s nothing. Just let me hug you for a while. I haven’t hugged you these last few days.” She gently caressed his hair.

Before long, a staff member came in to inform them that it was about time.

“Mommy, I’m going to be the page boy with a flower girl!”

“That’s so lovely of you.” Anastasia pecked his cheek.

Right then, two graceful women walked into the room. It was Kendra and Elliot’s grandaunt, Elira.

“Mrs. Presgrave, it’s time. Allow us to escort you there.”

“Okay.” Anastasia nodded and a member of the make-up team came over to help her with the wedding dress.

The way to the ballroom was adorned with a trail of flower petals. After spreading the train of the dress, the staff retreated to their positions before the cameraman came over. Shrouded by the warm sunlight, Anastasia began to walk down the floral path like a graceful princess.

From the monitor, she seemed so relaxed and calm as she flashed smiles at times to the camera as if she couldn’t smother the sweetness of honey in her heart. Even the cameraman couldn’t handle her beauty. What a gorgeous bride.

Any man would lose their heart to such mesmerizing beauty.

Lifting the hem of the wedding dress, she took light steps to proceed forward with mixed feelings. Feeling shy yet determined, she was walking alone without any company, but there was no smidgen of solitude that engulfed her, for she was going to meet the man she loved the most and spend the rest of her life with him.

The employees, who were standing outside while watching her happy face, were feeling envious.

As Anastasia walked down the long corridor, she noticed that the ballroom was full of people attending her wedding with Elliot when she arrived in front of the entrance.
