Chapter 243
Enter title…
‘Oh my god, Stefan, you’re finally here! I’ve called you hundreds of times! You didn’t even
pick up a single call! Chris was that close to sending his special forces, just to find you!”
Xavier exclaimed.
Waving towards Stefan, he had donned a dashing suit, with his hair neatly slicked back.
Stefan, however, was expressionless and calm. “Doesn’t the wedding start in the evening?
What’s the rush?”
’Of course, we’re in a rush! We’re his groomsmen! We have to welcome the bride, and we
need to take a group photo together too! We have so much to prepare!’ Xavier gushed as
he impatiently dragged Stefan backstage.
’Go clean yourself and change into a better suit! Your current look is too casual. It’s like
you’re just here for a vacation!”
As the two reached the dressing room, Christopher could be found facing away from the
door, staring at the beautiful scenery outside the window. He was wearing a white suit, his
dashing features enhanced by a light touch of makeup. His gentle and elegant aura also
made him look like a fairytale prince.
However, he seemed to be frowning slightly, as if he was deep in thought. This was no
emotion of a groom-to-be. It was as if he felt not the slightest happiness or excitement
toward this event.
’Chris! Stefan’s here! You can relax now!” Xavier screamed as he approached the groom.
Christopher immediately turned around, his eyes lighting up in an instant.” That’s great!
You’re finally here, Stef! I thought you weren’t coming today!”
Stefan asked softly, “Why wouldn’t I?’
“Well, I know it’s still a little complicated between you, me, and Cecilia. So it’s probably quite
upsetting for you to attend our wedding. Even if you really didn’t come in the end, just know
that we never intended to hold any grudges against you…”
“I’m not upset at all.” Stefan’s calm response expressed his honesty to his friend. “What
Cecilia and I had is the past, and it will stay that way. She’s just a close friend to me now.
I’m truly happy that both of you finally get to tie the knot.”
‘Good then!” Christopher took a deep breath.
For the past few years, the couple had basically gone no contact with Stefan, even going as
far as to not attend Stefan’s wedding.
In their point of view, they believed Stefan had been deeply hurt by him and Cecilia, which
made him choose to marry a woman he didn’t even love in an attempt at self-destruction.
The conscience of guilt thus weighed upon them for many years, and they were slowly
getting consumed by it…
’I can tell that your relationship with Miss Everheart isn’t all that simple. You may be
divorced now, but I have a feeling that you will be able to find each other again, no matter
where you run off to…”
After that, Christopher looked out the window again, curious. “Did Miss Everheart not come
with you? I made sure to personally send her an invitation last night, though.”
’We’re separate people, so don’t make us out to be a pair,” Stefan replied coldly.
He thought to himself, ‘If that woman wishes to avoid me so much, I wouldn’t want to be
viewed as a pair with her either!’
Christopher and Xavier looked at one another, figuring that Stefan must be having a hard
time winning Renee’s heart.
’ Alright, alright! Let’s not overthink this. You still have to change, you know? And we have to
pick the bride up later!” Xavier quickly urged them to stay on schedule.
Although he was usually quite a slipshod, he would still get his act together when it came to
matters related to Cecilia. For umpteen years now, he had always had a crush on her.
Hence, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that he was the one who was hurt the most by
attending this wedding.
After getting changed and having their makeup done, the group immediately went to pick
Cecilia up. Coincidentally, they bumped into Renee, who was just entering the church.
Seeing that she was all alone, Christopher invited her with a friendly smile. ’ Miss Everheart,
you seem bored. So why don’t you join us in picking up the bride?”
