Kathleen was bewildered. She was totally clueless as to why Samuel was grinning.
The man asked her to try on some wedding dresses, so she obliged.
She dared not say anything about it either.
Nevertheless, the process of trying on the wedding dresses was extremely slow and arduous.
Kathleen only tried on two outfits.
Samuel narrowed his eyes and uttered, “If you don’t try them on properly, I’ll buy everything home, then you can slowly try on all of them.”
Kathleen was rendered speechless.
That’s not how you should spend money, even if you’re wealthy!
In the end, Kathleen selected an off-shoulder, demure wedding dress, which suited her meek and gentle personality.
She exuded a sweet, lovely vibe.
Samuel tested a black tuxedo.
He stood with Kathleen and asked the store employee to help take a photo.
That would be their only picture together later on.
After they finished trying on their wedding outfits, Samuel brought Kathleen out to eat.
Once they finished their meal, the couple went home together.
Kathleen remained happy all the way until before the wedding.
Even though she was still unable to let go of the pair of children whom she had lost, she knew that she had to look forward and move on.
Soon, their wedding day arrived.
The ceremony was to be held in a chapel.
That day, Kathleen wore the wedding dress that she had chosen with Samuel. A joyful grin was carved on her face as she walked step by step toward him amid the well-wishes of her friends and relatives.
Samuel, elegant and handsome, stood before the altar as Kathleen, gentle and sweet, strode forward.
The two seemed like a perfect match as they stood together.
Christopher sat on one of the pews, staring at Kathleen from behind in a serious manner.
If this is her choice, the only thing I can do is respect it and give her my best wishes.
Benjamin was seated on one of the pews too.
Gemma was still unable to get down from the bed, so she could not make it.
He came to give Kathleen his blessing.
No matter who she married, all he hoped for was her happiness.
She must obtain happiness!
Kathleen walked in front of Samuel and placed her small hand in his.
The latter held her hand and, through the transparent veil, gazed at his petite bride. Warmth and bliss filled his heart.
Perhaps we should have held this wedding ceremony a long time ago. How foolish I was!
The couple turned simultaneously to look at the priest, who smiled at them and slowly uttered, “Dear Mr. Samuel Macari and Ms. Kathleen Johnson, do the two of you agree to live together in matrimony and never leave each other regardless of wealth and health?”
Samuel declared solemnly, “I do.”
Kathleen’s eyes gleamed with sincerity. “I-”
Bang!
Before the woman could even finish her vow, a loud bang sounded from behind.
Then, there was the patter of footsteps.
Kathleen turned around, and so did the crowd.
Nicolette strode forward, silhouetted by the light.
Kathleen froze on the spot.
Nicolette? Why are her legs perfectly well?
Samuel’s handsome face turned black as thunder as he ordered his subordinates to take Nicolette away.
