“It’s…perfect.” She looked at his emotion-filled eyes in the mirror and felt her cheeks become slightly hot. “When the wedding is over, the first thing you should do is bring me to see Hayden.”
“Consider it done.”
“I don’t blame you.” She turned around and put her arms around his waist. “My words might seem like it, but I’m not thinking that way.”
“I know.” He picked her up and walked to the bed, “I’m not angry even if you did blame me.”
“Let’s not quarrel in the future, okay? It breaks my heart whenever I quarrel with you.” She sat by the bed, holding his big palm in her small hand.
“Of course.”
Elyette held Averie’s hand in one hand and her nape in the other. He was just about to deliver a kiss on her cheek when an ill-timed phone call came.
Averie gave Elyette a quick peck on his thin lips and pushed him away. “You have a call! I’ll change into something else and put the wedding dress away.”
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and answered it when he saw the incoming call.
“Mr. Foster, Henry brought Adrian to do a DNA test,” Elyette’s subordinate said. “I think he has ulterior motives for doing this. He knows that Adrian is his younger brother and he’s already taken him away from you, so there really isn’t any reason for him to do the test.”
Elyette glanced at Averie.
She was looking in the mirror while unfastening the strings of the dress on her back.
“Keep an eye on them and report everything to me at the first instance,” he said before ending the call.
“Who was it?” Averie asked after seeing that he had hung up the phone.
“Henry brought Adrian to do a DNA test. And since you were worried about Adrian, I had my men keep my eyes on them.” He strode behind her and helped her untie the strings.
“Oh. Did Henry ask you anything?” She felt a little uneasy.
“Not yet.”
“Will you give him money if he asks you for it?” she asked casually. “I think Cole will lose the money they got from selling the old mansion, and when they run out, they’ll definitely come to you for more.”
“We’ll see when that happens.” It was useless to worry about something that might or might not happen.
Averie frowned. “They’re all a bunch of bloodsuckers! Nathan probably hasn’t left either, I suppose?
“Don’t let them ruin your mood, Averie. Even if they ask me for money, I won’t just give it to them for nothing.” After he untied her wedding dress, he took a nightdress from the side and put it on her head. “You can rest at home today!”
“Okay. I’ll get Layla to come around. She’s feeling incredibly down now that Hayden’s gone.”
“Do your best. The pain will be temporary. We just need to get used to it.”
Before long, it was already the end of May.
There was one more day to go before Elyette and Averie’s wedding.
For their upcoming grand wedding, all major media in Aryadelle wrote extensive reports. ‘It has been reported that nearly 1,000 guests were invited to the wedding EVMjnB?0 the entire city will attend the wedding!’
‘This wedding of the century is a sensation around the world, and billions were spent just to make Mrs. Foster happy!’
The couple’s wedding photos made headlines in all major news sections!
They hogged the limelight in a flash.
When Henry looked at the news reports on Elyette and Averie’s wedding, he had an indescribable look of jealousy on his face.
Elyette could spend billions for a wedding, but Henry-despite being the real Foster child-had no choice but to rent a place to stay.
He received no invitation to Elyette’s wedding, and even his relatives and friends seemed to have alienated him.
Everyone cut off contact with him just because he had to sell his family home due to financial difficulties
“Elyette is a heartless man!” Henry sighed. “He didn’t even think about compensating us at all.”
Cole snorted coldly. “Do you think he would rise to his position today because of kindness? He won’t give us a single cent if we don’t ask him for it.”
“He’s crossing the line!” Henry put his phone down and rubbed his eyebrows. “Judging from the situation, a complete fall-out is unavoidable.” “Are you going to look for him today or will you confront him at his wedding tomorrow?” Cole asked.
“He didn’t invite us, so we can’t even be present at his wedding venue!” Henry gritted his teeth and picked up his phone again. “When tomorrow comes, I’ll make him kneel and beg me!”
Over at Starry River Villa, Mrs. Cooper placed an envelope in front of Averie.
“Would you like me to open it for you, Averie? Or do you want to open it yourself?” asked Mrs. Cooper
Averie picked up the envelope and carefully read the sender’s information.
The envelope came from a small country she was unfamiliar with.
She opened the enveloped and pulled out a postcard.
The moment she saw the postcard, Wesley’s face appeared in her mind.
“Is it from Wesley?” asked Mrs. Cooper. “Is it the same address as before?”
Averie shook her head. “It’s not the same address. Elyette was planning on checking out the address the last postcard came from after the wedding, but he moved to another country again.”
“Is he traveling the world?!” Mrs. Cooper said with furrowed brows.
Averie carefully looked through the postcard.
It was a handmade postcard with a drawing of a bride and groom on it.
“I never knew he was this good at drawing,” she mumbled softly. “I wonder how he’s doing right now. There was no reason for him to leave his home because of what happened.”
“Exactly! He’s an only son. His parents must be miserable, going this long without him!” said Mrs. Cooper. “Are you still unable to contact him?”
“I can’t get through to him at all. He isn’t using his old number anymore.”
“Call him heartless, but at least he remembered the twins’ birthday. He even knows about your wedding. It means he’s still paying attention to the news in Aryadelle. He’s such a contradictory person!”
Averie placed the postcard down, then said, “We’ll just have to wait and see if he can let things go in the future.”
“Is Mike arriving at noon?”
“He is.” Averie checked the time, then said, “I’ll go to the airport now to pick him up.”
“It’s still early. Besides, you could just ask the driver to go. It’d be troublesome if you get recognized at the airport,” said Mrs. Cooper. “You’re a celebrity now, after all.”
“I’ll take the bodyguard with me. I really want to know how Hayden’s doing.”
“Alright, then. Make sure you wear a face mask when you leave.”
“I will.”
Averie stored the postcard, changed her clothes, left the house.
The next day was her and Elyette’s wedding.
