The morning light was mild. The entire eastern cathedral was thoroughly decorated with gorgeous flower corridors, festive red carpet spread all over the floor. The fragrance of champagne and wine wafted away.
"What takes the groom so long?"
A grand wedding was about to be held here. The guests were all present. Even the bride and her relatives arrived.
Christina accompanied Mr. Hopkins to the venue. When she saw the guests around her discussion, she curiously looked around.
Carrie was wearing a white tube dress. Her makeup was delicate but she looked a little anxious at the moment.
Laurie walked towards Carrie and asked in a low voice to avoid embarrassment, "What's going on? Didn't you come with Cory?"
"Why haven't we seen Cory for so long? Could it be that he was too happy drinking wine with his friends last night to wake up?" Connie also asked nervously.
Carrie didn't look well and explained, "Cory said something urgent happened at the company. Our wedding car will arrive first, and then he'll rush over."
"He's getting married today, but he's still working. Obviously, he was not respectful to us."
Mrs. Dickens also came over, his face darkened as she was dissatisfied with the Hampton Family's impolite behaviors.
There were so many famous guests here. The only family member Carrie had was her sister Connie, so the Dickens Family offered to serve as Carrie's family. The wedding was held in the name of the Hampton Family and the Dickens Family. If anything went wrong, it would be shameful.
"Men should focus on their careers. Just wait a little longer." Donald said in a deep voice.
Naturally, Laurie felt that her son did nothing wrong. She smiled. "There must be something urgent at the company. Cory will be here soon. Let's have some food first..."
Christina was bored. She didn't want to go to the wedding. Seeing the old man talking to his old friend, she went to the open dessert buffet in front of her to get something to eat.
"Go away, you stepped on my wedding dress." All of a sudden, an angry voice came from Carrie's side.
Then came the sound of the child crying loudly. The girl looked at the small footprints on Carrie's long white veil and hurriedly fell to the floor, crying and wiping the dress with her small hands.
But the more the girl tugged at Carrie's wedding dress, the angrier Carrie became. "Go away." Thinking of Cory's delay and looking at the child in front of her, she felt angry.
"What's wrong?"
When Laurie and the others heard the child's cry, they immediately looked in the direction of the voice.
All of a sudden, a lot of curious people looking at Christina.
Christina lowered her head in astonishment and looked at the girl hiding behind her.
"Don't hit me..." The child struggled behind Christina as she was scared out of her wits.
Christina naturally knew that she was Cory's daughter.
"She seems scared."
When Christina saw Laurie and the others approaching her, she said faintly.
Carrie walked up to her in a beautiful white dress. She looked unfriendly, lowering her eyes and shouting at the girl, "Jasmine, come to mommy." She ordered seriously.
But the girl tugged at the corner of Christina's clothes with her small hands and refused to let go. Christina was a little embarrassed.
"Jasmine, come to grandma." Laurie stepped forward and looked at her granddaughter. Her normally serious face became more gentle.
The girl looked at Laurie for a while before running over and hugging her.
"Why did the girl hide behind you just now? What did you do to her? You'd better behave yourself!"
Donald looked straight at his daughter, whom he had not seen for a long time, and started lecturing her coldly.
Christina bit her lips and did not answer. She was angry.
She couldn't believe that her own biological father always blamed her without figuring out what happened.
"Well, there are so many guests here." Mrs. Dickens walked up to Christina and took her hand very kindly. "Christina, why didn't I see Patrick? Whom did you come with?"
Christina, who was held by the old lady's arm, felt uncomfortable and replied softly, "Patrick has gone to America. I'm coming with grandpa."
Mrs. Dickens's eyes narrowed when she heard that. "Oh, we're flattered that Mr. Hopkins is present today. Where is he? I'll go over and say hello to him and thank them for their help to our Dickens Family..."
Before, they asked Patrick for help from Hopkins Family. Patrick not only solved their funding issues but allowed Dickens Family to participate in many big projects.
Half of the Dickens Family's projects relied on Hopkins Family's investment.
"It's great that Carrie married Cory, but my own granddaughter married the best guy."
