Heidi was upset by this, and her disdain was reflected in her expression as well.
Meanwhile, Josephine wasn’t interested in the food. Instead, she felt that the wine
served here was delicious and sweet, and she liked it a lot.
“Connor, Ellen will be coming over for a toast later, right? I don’t think we’ve prepared
any gifts. What should we do?” It was only then that Olivia remembered they should
prepare gifts when attending a wedding banquet.
“I heard it’s not necessary. We’re just here for a meal, Connor replied. Olivia couldn’t
help but be amazed at the Presgraves’ generosity. She hoped that she could grab the
chance to be on good terms with Ellen when the latter came over for a toast.
Soon, Ellen made her appearance at the banquet, and she accompanied Jared during
the front-row toasts. Just as Olivia was wondering when Ellen would come over, she
noticed that Ellen had already finished toasting and was being escorted away.
“Mom, Ellen isn’t coming here for the toast,” Selena commented in a small voice.
“She’s looking down on us,” Olivia said, secretly furious.
However, Jared and his best man were stopping by every table for the toasts. He
treated every guest with proper respect, and the guests also got up and clinked
glasses with the bridegroom as they gave him their best wishes.
Josephine had her head lowered as she looked at work-related matters on her phone.
Suddenly, she felt some pressure on the back of her chair as though someone was
pushing it. At the same time, Heidi gave Josephine’s dress a sharp tug under the
table, signaling for Josephine to get up for the toast.
Josephine hastily pushed her chair back and took her glass as she stood up. Just
then, she realized Ethan was standing right behind her. She couldn’t help the sudden
hastening of her heartbeat.
“Uncle Connor, please enjoy yourselves. I sincerely apologize if we overlooked
anything.” Jared singled Connor out by mentioning the latter, so Olivia could only
plaster a smile on her face as she said, “You’re so handsome today, Jared! I hope
you’ll have a happy marriage and have your own children soon!”
Selena wanted to clink glasses with Ethan, but she realized that Ethan was standing
behind Josephine. Josephine sensed that someone had taken the initiative to touch
their glass against hers, and when she turned to look, Ethan was raising his glass at
her with a captivating smile on his lips.
