Halley noticed Veronica was pretty strict when it came to raising kids She reckoned that if Eleanor could marry into such a family it would be a jackpot The other relatives were all very friendly As Eleanor’s sister, she had to do a good job educating Nina too
Hailey gently pinched Nina’s cheek
“Nima, you also sad some natty stuff to israel After Israel’s punishment, you should apologize Otherwise he might feel it’s not fau
Israel started it by messing with Nina’s flower crown, but Nina was the first to throw insults. That kicked off the fight between the two kids
Nina was a good listener when it came to Hailey, she nodded obediently and said “I will apologize”
With that the kids squabble was settled Veronica stood up giving Hailey an approving look while praising her
Then Veronica’s gaze landed on the woman standing next to Cedric
Compared to Cedric’s old Fame Veronica liked Hailey better It’s just a shame Cedric was no flaky and always seemed to have his head in the clouds
He knew full well his parents didn’t approve of him being with his ex but he still brought her to the wedding Who knew what he was thinking
Cedric couldn’t take his eyes off Hairy But Halley didn’t glance back at him once she just pushed Nina and Israel inside
After Nina and Israel arrived in front of Eleanor and Bernard with their little flower baskets, they bowed and said, “Sorry, we’re late
Eleanor and Beard exchanged amused glances, smiling “No worries, the bells haven’t rung yet. The wedding hasn’t started”
As if on cu a castle worker standing on high ground gently rang the bell three times, signaling the start of the wedding
Eleanor, holding onto Bemard’s arm with one hand and her bouquet with the other, began to walk towards the ceremony platform to the sound of cheerful music
Her wedding dress trailed on the carpet, stiming up a flurry of pink rose petals, adding a pop of color to the pure white dress
Behind them were the bridesmaids Hailey and Liana, the best man Cedric, and Matthew Laurence, who had flown in from Africa.
The priest at the platform, holding the scriptures, asked after his wedding speech
“Groom, in sickness and in health, for nicher or poorer, in youth and in old age, are you willing to care for her for life never to part?” Bernard, who had been looking at Eleanor all the while, had a determined look in his eyes when he heard this
“Absolutely
His voice was magnetic and filled with affection
The priest then turned to Eleanor, smiling
*Bride in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in youth and in old age, are you willing to care for him for life, never to part?”
Eleanor, who had been exchanging loving looks with Bernard, nodded resolutely
“I do”
*Then, please come up and sign
Eleanor was somewhat puzzled Shouldn’t they be exchanging rings now? What was this signing about?
Bernard, holding Eleanor’s hand, helped her lift the heavy hem of her dress as they walked towards the stage.
Two framed documents were placed on the stage. The thick papers read
