"Wow! You look so beautiful, like Cinderella herself! Please don't marry my uncle, okay? Let's run away together!"
"Seb, looks like your uncle's punishment wasn't enough, huh?"
A crisp, cheerful voice echoed from the door as Leonard, Octavia, and Bowen walked in. The moment they laid eyes on Xanthea, holding Sebastian, they were utterly spellbound.
She was breathtakingly stunning, her wedding dress making her look like a fairy descended from the heavens, radiantly elegant. The shimmering amethyst jewelry only highlighted her porcelain-like skin, making her glow even more.
"Whoa."
Leonard couldn't help but gasp, understanding for the first time why Orion had been willing to wait over a decade for a woman. Now, he felt a lifetime of waiting would be worth it.
Octavia exclaimed, "Xan, you're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen."
"Orion is a lucky man."
"Thank you, Octavia, Leonard."
"It was Leonard and Uncle Orion who bullied me!"
Seeing Leonard, Sebastian couldn't wait to tattle.
Leonard smirked, "Just took a few photos of you, how's that bullying? The real fun is yet to come. Your grandpa said tonight you'll be sleeping on the bed in their house, praying for Orion and Xan to have a kid as adorable as you."
At those words, Sebastian's cries grew louder. He was her little boyfriend, not her son!
"OMG!!"
"Everyone, come quick, the bride looks insanely beautiful!"
"Man, did I just see an angel?"
A rowdy commotion suddenly erupted from outside. Xanthea turned to see Nelson, Martin, and Rachel. Why were they here?
"Surprise!"
