A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 688

At last, the time for the wedding had arrived. Hestia found herself idly fidgeting with her jewelry, while Jessie assisted in placing her veil. A sense of emptiness crept up on Jessie as she realized that none of Hestia's loved ones were present to share this momentous occasion with her. Despite it being a fake marriage, it still felt pitifully lonesome.

"Stop," Hestia said, noticing the sadness in Jessie's eyes. "My parents know about the agreement, and I asked Matthew not to come. This wedding is like a stage play. It's just for show, so don't take it too seriously."

Jessie was speechless. All the sadness she had a minute ago disappeared into the thin air without a single trace. However, Jessie was considered as Hestia's first friend. In the past, when she was still living with the Deschamps, she always seemed unapproachable and either caused trouble for others or amused herself as the mischievous king. No one dared to befriend her, but she did not seem to care.

"Hessy?" Nathaniel's voice rang out from outside. Hestia responded to him nonchalantly, and Jessie nodded at her. She then took her hand and led her out.

When Nathaniel saw Hestie, his eyes glowed with delight as he commented, "You look beautiful today."

"Only today?" Hestia smiled. Even though her smile did not reach her eyes, she still looked captivating. "Let's hurry up and finish the ceremony so we can all rest."

In secret, Jessie gave Hestia a thumbs up, but Nathaniel seemed unfazed. He took her hand, and their outfits matched each other perfectly. The wedding proceeded as usual, and as Hestia walked down the aisle, her eyes subconsciously searched the crowd for Rickard. Sure enough, she spotted him sitting in the corner of the front row with Benji and Kenji with a stern look on his face.
