Chapter 201
For Seraphina, life seemed to have a fresh burst of excitement ever since she got her art studio.
Compared to the drab days of waiting for the night to fall, having things to do every day made her feelfulfilled and satisfied, especially when these things
were what she loved to do
Amidst all the hustle and bustle, time slipped away unnoticed until one day, Conway sent someone tofetch her home. It was then that Seraphina suddenly realized there were only three days left till herwedding with Leandro.
Meanwhile, Leandro was still in Europe, continuing his business trip that started two days ago.
With their wedding around the corner, everyone at Reynolds Manor was busy preparing whenSeraphina returned.
On their wedding day, Leandro would be coming from Reynolds Vista Retreat to pick her up and headto the church. As the place she’d be leaving from, Reynolds Manor naturally had to be spruced up andnot taken lightly.
The reason why Seraphina was fetched back was that her wedding dress had finally arrived
From setting the wedding date to the actual day, there was just over a month. The wedding dress wasentirely hand-made, more than ten craftsmen working round the clock, taking over seven hundredhours to create this stunning dress using nearly two thousand silver threads. It was delivered just twodays before the wedding.
Concurrently delivered were the equally labor-intensive evening gown and Leandro’s tuxedo.Unfortunately, the leading man was not present
Seraphina quickly tried on her wedding dress and evening gown, earning praises from everyoriepresent. Conway looked pleased as punch, remarking. “If Leandro were here in his tuxedo, you twowould be a perfect match. It’s all his fault, the wedding is coming up but he’s still on a business trip”
Seraphina gave Conway a quick shoulder rub, “Don’t start blaming him yet, grandpa. There’s still timeto blame him if he doesn’t make it.”
Conway gave a playful tap on Seraphina’s forehead, “Nonsensel Isn’t he coming back tomorrow?”
“What if?” Seraphina countered. “He’s so busy, who knows what could happen?”
No one expected Seraphina’s words to come true. Leandro, who was originally planned to return twodays before the wedding, had not shown up even during the rehearsal a day before the wedding.
Indeed, he was held up by work and had to stay an extra day in Europe. On his way back, heencountered bad weather, with many airports imposing flight restrictions. It was uncertain when hewould be able to fly
In other words, he might miss his own wedding
In the church, the wedding planner, Dominic, was anxiously checking for updates. Despite being thebride-to-be, Seraphina seemed unusually relaxed, sitting amongst her three groomsmen andbridesmaids, happily chatting away
Leandro’s three groomsmen were Herman Garcia, Edgar Lamont, and Hal Jacques, all old friends ofhis. Seraphina initially thought the last one would be Victor Farms Only upon asking did she find outthat Victor was already married to a young wife of mismatched status in a secret wedding
As for Seraphina, aside from Sandra, she had also invited the budding startet Una, whom she had metat a dinner party, to be her bridesmaid.
Una had her first opportunity to participate in a drama series all thanks to Seraphina’s recommendationCurrently, in the rising phase of her career, being
in the limelight was crucial. Una was always grateful to Seraphina, so when Seraphina invited her, Unaaccepted without hesitation.
As for the other bridesmaid, Seraphina couldn’t find a suitable candidate, so Leandro helped her invitehis innocent little cousin Lilian.
Though Lillan was not familiar with Seraphina, she got along well with Herman and the others, so shequickly fit right in.
Everyone started discussing about Leandro, who had yet to return. Some were worried, come jokedabout it, but Seraphina was not worried at all. Instead, she was busy introducing Herman to Sandra.
Her description of Herman to Sandra was, “Even though this guy named Herman has some issues withme, I’ve observed that among all of Leandro’s friends, he’s the most reliable!”
Sandra wasn’t too interested, but considering it was Seraphina’s big day, she went along with it.Herman, who usually seemed serious and mature, showed his gentlemanly today and got along wellwith Sandra.
Watching the lively scene, Dominic beside her couldn’t help but sigh, “Dear, it’s good that you, as thebride, are so carefree and happy. But your groom is still unsure if he can make it f back in time. Aren’tyou worried about the grand wedding tomorrow?”
“What’s the use of worrying?” Seraphina replied. “If I’m too anxious, how am I supposed to face peopletomorrow?”
“But what if the groom doesn’t show up tomorrow.” Dominic started, then suddenly slightly slapped hismouth, 1 shouldn’t jinx it…”
Seeing him, Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, lightly patting his shoulder. “Don’t worry. He wont missthe wedding”
Hearing that, Dominic immediately perked up, “Conway said your words tend to come true, so I believeyou.”
Seraphina just gave him a small wink.
That night, Sunburst City had a heavy snowfall
In the middle of the snowstorm, a familiar Maybach slowly drove into Reynolds Manor
“Oh my God!” Karan in the living room cried out excitedly upon seeing the car, “Is Leandro back!?”
Conway, who was sitting on the sofa with a worried look, got up and walked to the window. Sureenough, he saw the car stop and Leandro getting out.
“With all that snow, how on earth did he make it back?” Karan couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t it snowing inEurope too?”
Upon hearing this, Conway felt both joy and worry, letting out a sigh, “Don’t even mention snow, I don’tthink even had can stop him!”
10-3
Leandro walked in with an umbrella, stowing it away in the umbrella stand before looking around theroom, “Why is Grandpa still up?”
‘How could I sleep when I didn’t hear a peep from you?” Conway replied, “You should’ve at least calledme on your way back, instead of keeping me on pins and needles”
Leandro stepped into the room and took off his coat, saying. “If I’d called you, you would ve been evenmore worried.”
The weather outside was atrocious. Conway could only guess the kind of effort it took Leandro to makeit home at this hour, though he didn’t ask. He simply gave him a look.
‘Where’s Seraphina?” Leandro asked
‘She’s upstairs resting, Karan replied with a smile, it’s the big day tomorrow, she needs all the sleepshe can get!
Leandro didn’t comment, turning around to head upstairs.
The moment he turned, Karan blocked his way, ‘Where do you think you’re going?”
Leandro looked up at hernovelbin
Understanding his intention, Karan hurriedly said, “Hold your horses, you can’t see Sera tonight andyou can’t stay her up tomorrow morning! Anything else would be bad form!”
