Female Novel
Chapter 73
The morning light was mild. The entire eastern cathedral was thoroughly decorated with gorgeous
flower corridors, festive red carpet spread all over the floor. The fragrance of champagne and wine
wafted away.
"What takes the groom so long?"
A grand wedding was about to be held here. The guests were all present. Even the bride and her
relatives arrived.
Christina accompanied Mr. Hopkins to the venue. When she saw the guests around her discussion,
she curiously looked around.
Carrie was wearing a white tube dress. Her makeup was delicate but she looked a little anxious at the
moment.
Laurie walked towards Carrie and asked in a low voice to avoid embarrassment, "What's going on?
Didn't you come with Cory?"
"Why haven't we seen Cory for so long? Could it be that he was too happy drinking wine with his
friends last night to wake up?" Connie also asked nervously.
Carrie didn't look well and explained, "Cory said something urgent happened at the company. Our
wedding car will arrive first, and then he'll rush over."
"He's getting married today, but he's still working. Obviously, he was not respectful to us."
Mrs. Dickens also came over, his face darkened as she was dissatisfied with the Hampton Family's
impolite behaviors.
There were so many famous guests here. The only family member Carrie had was her sister Connie,
so the Dickens Family offered to serve as Carrie's family. The wedding was held in the name of the
Hampton Family and the Dickens Family. If anything went wrong, it would be shameful.
"Men should focus on their careers. Just wait a little longer." Donald said in a deep voice.
Naturally, Laurie felt that her son did nothing wrong. She smiled. "There must be something urgent at
the company. Cory will be here soon. Let's have some food first..."
Christina was bored. She didn't want to go to the wedding. Seeing the old man talking to his old friend,
she went to the open dessert buffet in front of her to get something to eat.
"Go away, you stepped on my wedding dress." All of a sudden, an angry voice came from Carrie's side.
Then came the sound of the child crying loudly. The girl looked at the small footprints on Carrie's long
white veil and hurriedly fell to the floor, crying and wiping the dress with her small hands.
But the more the girl tugged at Carrie's wedding dress, the angrier Carrie became. "Go away." Thinking
of Cory's delay and looking at the child in front of her, she felt angry.
"What's wrong?"
When Laurie and the others heard the child's cry, they immediately looked in the direction of the voice.
All of a sudden, a lot of curious people looking at Christina.
Christina lowered her head in astonishment and looked at the girl hiding behind her.
"Don't hit me..." The child struggled behind Christina as she was scared out of her wits.
Christina naturally knew that she was Cory's daughter.
"She seems scared."
When Christina saw Laurie and the others approaching her, she said faintly.
Carrie walked up to her in a beautiful white dress. She looked unfriendly, lowering her eyes and
shouting at the girl, "Jasmine, come to mommy." She ordered seriously.
But the girl tugged at the corner of Christina's clothes with her small hands and refused to let go.
Christina was a little embarrassed.
"Jasmine, come to grandma." Laurie stepped forward and looked at her granddaughter. Her normally
serious face became more gentle.
The girl looked at Laurie for a while before running over and hugging her.
"Why did the girl hide behind you just now? What did you do to her? You'd better behave yourself!"
Donald looked straight at his daughter, whom he had not seen for a long time, and started lecturing her
coldly.
Christina bit her lips and did not answer. She was angry.
She couldn't believe that her own biological father always blamed her without figuring out what
happened.
"Well, there are so many guests here." Mrs. Dickens walked up to Christina and took her hand very
kindly. "Christina, why didn't I see Patrick? Whom did you come with?"
Christina, who was held by the old lady's arm, felt uncomfortable and replied softly, "Patrick has gone
to America. I'm coming with grandpa."
Mrs. Dickens's eyes narrowed when she heard that. "Oh, we're flattered that Mr. Hopkins is present
today. Where is he? I'll go over and say hello to him and thank them for their help to our Dickens
Family..."
Before, they asked Patrick for help from Hopkins Family. Patrick not only solved their funding issues
but allowed Dickens Family to participate in many big projects.
Half of the Dickens Family's projects relied on Hopkins Family's investment.
"It's great that Carrie married Cory, but my own granddaughter married the best guy."
Mrs. Dickens was in a good mood. As she praised, she touched Christina's head.
Christina was expressionless. She was not close to grandma as she didn't like the snobbish old lady.
"Christina, I'd like to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. You have to remember it."
Mrs. Dickens lowered her voice and told her mysteriously, "Men like fresh and exciting experiences.
Although you're pregnant now, you should take the initiative to..."
"I see." Christina blushed and immediately interrupted the old lady.
"Your mother is gone. So I have to tell you about these things... Anyway, be smart. Even if Mr. Hopkins
has a mistress, don't offend him. Don't argue with him. Now that you're pregnant with his child, you'll be
able to keep your place at home..."
Christina was annoyed by Mrs. Dickens and purposely raised her voice.
"When will the wedding begin?"
Christina's voice made the rest of the people anxious again. The bride was there. Where did the groom
go?
"Why are you here?"
Carrie was in a hurry to call Cory when he turned around and saw Cecilia. Her face darkened. "I don't
welcome you here!"
She was already very dissatisfied with Christina's presence at her wedding today, but Christina could
rely on Mr. Hopkins, so she could not chase Christina away. However, there was no need for her to be
polite to Cecilia.
"I come with Mr. Fisher." Cecilia wore a bright smile.
The Fisher Family was famous in F City. Carrie did not remember that she had once given an invitation
to the Fisher Family. However, since they came, she did not dare to offend.
"Carrie, your wedding is really lively. How can I miss it?"
Cecilia took a step forward and whispered something in her ear.
"What do you mean!" Carrie suddenly became nervous.
"The groom is here. The groom is here!"
At this moment, a bright black Ferrari came over. Someone in the crowd cheered loudly, "Cory, you've
kept us waiting for a long time."
Carrie looked at Cory and immediately walked towards him. She said coquettishly, "Well, why does it
take you so long?"
"All right, everyone. Please enter the church. The wedding is starting now." Laurie greeted the guests
with a smile.
Laurie walked over to her son and reminded him in a low voice, "Your grandfather is here today. Hurry
and salute him."
The guests had smiles on their faces and were all looking forward to the wedding.
A joyful piano concerto was on...
The bride and groom approached the altar together, but...novelbin
The guests on both sides noticed that something was wrong, because the groom did not look straight
ahead, nor did he look at the beautiful bride beside him. Instead, he kept staring at a woman in the first
row on the left.
Christina looked puzzled. Cory was staring at her. What was he doing?
Someone was already whispering, "The young master of the Hampton Family has been staring at his
ex-wife..."
"It can't be a revival of old love, can it?"
"No way. Christina married into Hopkins Family. She's Hopkins Family's granddaughter-in-law now."
Carrie was worried and whispered his name, "Cory!"
Cory suddenly stopped and turned to look at Carrie.
"Cory, is something wrong? What's wrong with you?" Carrie felt a little nervous for some reason.
Cory did not answer. He expressionlessly let go of Carrie's hand and strode to the altar, pushing the
priest who was holding the wedding down and snatching the microphone from his hand.
"What's the matter?"
The guests below the stage looked surprised.
"Cory, what do you want to do?"
Laurie saw that her son was too abnormal today and hurriedly stood up from her seat.
Before Laurie could step forward to dissuade him, Cory held the microphone tightly and looked around
coldly.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't marry her. The wedding is canceled!"
