Chapter 1926
Dahlia said gently, ’The ceremony hasn't started yet, and we've been here for quite some time now. Mrs. Chapman is getting hungry, and the food will only be served later. It's not nice to carry a plate of food around in front of so many people. It might seem a little inappropriate."
Aurora was unsure why Dahlia could not just ask a kitchen staff to do the same, but she did not question further as she was lost in her fantasy of a happy family. Instead, she said softly, "I specifically picked the desserts you like. Try them."
Dahlia gently touched her face, "I have raised you right. You're always so thoughtful."
Aurora heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, 'I'm glad that Mom finally thought this through.'
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed at the door. Dahlia paused, raised her head, and said, "Aurora, you should go back to the banquet hall. The ceremony will begin soon. I'm going to go speak to Mrs. Chapman for a while."
"Okay, sure."
When Aurora was about to leave, Dahlia stopped her and handed her a neatly packed bag before saying warmly," Would you take this bag of garbage and throw it away for me? Use the staircase on the west side. The bride will be coming from the east side later, and there'll be a lot of people."
Aurora smiled, "Got it, Mom."
After saying that, she took the bag and did as Dahlia said. She headed straight to the west side staircase and threw the bag into the trash can before going downstairs.
When Keegan came back, he could not see Stella and Aurora anywhere and felt a little uneasy.
He turned to ask Vermont, "Where are they?"
Vermont and Felicity were busy calculating how much they should contribute to each other's pension fund for the best return.
