Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door, causing the two in the lounge to look back at the door.
After they exchanged a glance, Martha hurriedly put down the ice bag in her hand.
Melissa covered her mouth and chuckled, then calmly called, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Eve, who was standing outside the door, walked into the lounge.
Martha looked at Eve with obvious shock in her eyes.
"Auntie, why do you..."
"I wouldn't miss your wedding!" Eve replied with a smile, and paused briefly when she noticed Martha's wedding veil. She realized its high value at a glance, but she didn't say much about it.
After she looked away, her gaze fell on the girl sitting next to Martha.
Melissa heard what Martha called the rich lady just now, and she vaguely guessed that this lady should be Martha's family in Z Country.
She greeted her politely, "Hi, I'm Melissa."
"Hi, Miss Gray, I'm Martha's aunt, Eve Lucas."
Eve greeted her gently, with an amiable smile on her face.
And then Melissa found an excuse to leave the lounge in order to let the aunt and niece chat more comfortably.
After she left, Martha turned to look at Eve with confusion.
"Auntie, thank you for coming to my wedding."
At this time, Eve looked at the charmingly smiling woman in front of her in a daze, as if seeing her sister getting married.
She thought, "Martha looks exactly like Elsie. Elsie must be as happy as Martha is now when she married Maxwell. It's a pity that I never had a chance to attend Elsie's wedding."
After Martha waited for a while, she didn't hear Eve speak. Looking at her appearance of abstraction, she knew that Eve was thinking of her mother.
When her mother married her father, no family members came to their wedding.
Her mother must have felt upset about it.
Fortunately, the man her mother married was the one she liked.
After Martha regained her presence of mind, she said meaningfully, "Auntie, I am very happy to marry the person I like."
After Eve recovered her senses, her eyes sank.
She understood what Martha meant by those words. Martha was telling her that Elsie was also happy when she married Maxwell, since Elsie could choose the beloved man to marry.
Feeling touched by this realization, Eve held Martha's hand.
"You're right. I'm happy for you to see you marry the person you like."
The corners of Martha's mouth lightly lifted, and she knew that her aunt had understood her implications.
She smiled and pulled Eve to sit down on the chair, and asked, "Auntie, why did you come to my wedding? Are you planning to travel with my uncle after attending the wedding?"
Eve shook her head with a smile, "Your uncle still has some work matters pending in Z Country, so we might need to wait a little longer before we can travel together."
Martha couldn't help but ask further, "Then how did you get here?"
As soon as Martha asked the question, she saw Eve looking at her meaningfully.
Eve smiled and replied, "It was Stefan who asked me to come to your wedding."
When Martha heard that, there was obvious shock in her eyes.
She didn't expect Stefan to invite the Lucas behind her back.
After the shock, Martha's heart was full of affection for Stefan.
This man really put so much effort into this wedding.
