Chapter 1325 Extra: Zack and Janet’s Wedding
With Stephanie’s wedding out of the way, it was Zack and Jane’s turn next. They were also very eager to get their wedding done as soon as possible without wasting any more unnecessary time.

As a fellow family member, Jenny had to help with everything related to her adoptive brother’s wedding. n.ove.lx.o Somehow, she was even busier now than when she held her own wedding.
She wasn’t the only one who was busy. Being the older brother, Gilbert was naturally the busiest among them all.

“Gilbert, are you really sticking to your previous plan for the future?” Jenny asked tentatively, feeling a little unsettled.

The next day, Zack and Janet’s wedding was held without a hitch.

“I know it’s hard to convince him, but I can’t just do nothing and let him become a priest, can I?” novelebook Jenny didn’t intend to go down without a fight.
Alec was silent for a while before speaking up again, “I think the only thing that can keep him here would be Marigold’s child.”

When Jenny heard that, her eyes lit up immediately. “Yes, the child! How could I have forgotten?”
