The morning light was gentle, and the entire church in the east of the city was exquisitely decorated. There were beautiful corridors of flowers, ribbons, balloons, and so on. The faint fragrance of wine wafted far away.
“Why isn’t the bridegroom here yet?”
A grand wedding was about to be held there, and all the guests had already arrived, including the bride and her relatives.
Stephanie accompanied George. Upon hearing the guests‘ discussions, she looked around curiously.
Claire wore a strapless gauze wedding dress and exquisite bridal makeup, but she looked a little anxious.
Stella walked toward Claire to avoid embarrassment and asked her in a low voice, “What’s going on? Didn’t you and Kevin come here together?”
“Yeah, we have been waiting for him for a long while. Could it be that he was too happy last night and got drunk with his friends in the hotel? Has he not woken up yet?” Courtney asked nervously
Claire looked anxious and explained, “Kevin said there was an emergency at the company. The wedding car arrived first, and he would be
here soon
“Today is his wedding, but he is still busy with company affairs. Does he want to embarrass us?”
Samantha also came. She was very dissatisfied with the Nelson family’s mistake.
There were many guests there. Courtney was Claire’s only family, so the Reed family came to the wedding to support Claire. This wedding was held in the name of the Nelson and Reed families. If anything unexpected happened, the scene would be really embarrassing
“Men should put their career first. Be patient,” Gary said sternly.
Stella, of course, thought her son was not wrong She smiled, “There must be something very urgent at the company. Kevin will be here soon. Let’s have something to eat first…”
Stephanie felt a little bored. She didn’t want to attend the wedding at all. Seeing George talking with his old friends, she walked to the open dessert buffet in front to get something to eat.
“Get out! You’ve soiled my wedding dress.” Suddenly, there was an angry curse from Claire.
A girl’s scream followed. At a loss, the girl looked at the small footprints on Claire’s long white gauze and quickly squatted down to wipe the stain hard with her hands while shedding tears.
But the girl’s behavior made Claire angrier. She yelled at the girl, “Get out.” Thinking of Kevin’s delay and looking at the child in front of her,
she felt even angner.
“What’s wrong?”
Stella and the others heard the child’s cry and Immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
Instantly, Stephanie became the focus of people’s attention.
She was stunned, looking down at the girl hiding behind her in confusion.
“Don’t hit me…” The girl tried her best to hide behind Stephanie as if she was scared.

Stephanie knew that this was Kevin’s daughter.
“She
he looks scared.”
When Stephanie saw Stella and the others approaching her, she said lightly.
Claire lifted the hem of her wedding dress and walked up to Stephanie. Her expression was not friendly. She looked at the girl and said, “Joyce, come to me.” Her tone was cold as if she was ordering the girl.
Joyce clenched the corners of Stephanie’s clothes and refused to let go. Stephanie was a little embarrassed.
“Joyce, come here.” Stella stepped forward and looked at her granddaughter. Her usually serious face became gentler.
Joyce looked at Stella for a while, then ran over and hugged her.
“Why was that girl hiding behind you just now? What did you do to her? You are now a married woman. Don’t try to play tricks.”
Gary started at Stephanie, whom he had not seen for a long time, and said harshly.
Stephanie bit her lips and didn’t speak, feeling angry.
No matter whether she was right or wrong, he always blamed her. That was her biological father.

“Enough. There are so many guests here.” Samantha walked up to Stephanie and held her hand affectionately. “Steffi, where is Dominick? Who did you come with?”
Stephanie felt uncomfortable being held by Samantha, She replied Sightly, “Dominick went to Aurorastra. I came with George”
Upon hearing this, Samantha immediately chuckled, “Oh, George also came here. It’s really a great honor. Where is he? I will go over to say hello to him and thank him for helping us during this period…”
Last time, after the Reed family asked Dominick for financial help, Dominick not only solved their financial problems for them but also let them participate in many large projects.
More than half of the Reed family’s project investments relied on the Wellington family.
“Claire married Kevin, but she is an outsider to some extent. My granddaughter is the best.”
Samantha, in a good mood, touched Stephanie’s head and praised her.
“Your mother is gone, so I have to tell you these things… Anyway, you should be smarter. Even if Dominick has a mistress, you can’t offend him or quarrel with him. You are pregnant. With the child, your position in the Wellington family is guaranteed…”
Claire was in a hurry to call Kevin, but when she turned around, she saw Jessica. Her face darkened instantly. “You are not welcome here.”
A black Ferrari drove over, and someone in the crowd cheered loudly, “Kevin, you kept us waiting for so long.”
