Selina asked Erine to see if anything was missing.
Erine gave her a thumbs-up after looking through it several times. "Miss Whitlock, everything is here. It's very good. Everything that should and shouldn't be prepared is all here. Miss Cowell is very lucky to have such a kind sister like you!"
Selina laughed after receiving Erine's praise.
She then said, "That's good, I'm glad I didn't miss out on anything. I have to make sure that Yesseca has a glorious wedding. I can't let her down."
Erine replied, "Don't worry! With how well prepared she is, she would never be embarassed in any way."
After chatting with Erine for a little while, Matthew then told her to get some rest.
It was already very late at night.
Selina stood up. "I should get some rest. I need to be energetic enough to attend Yesseca's wedding."
Matthew helped Selina up the stairs into the bedroom.
Once she had laid down on the bed, she realized that she couldn't get any sleep.
She was feeling so many different emotions right now.
Selina poked Matthew's arm. "Matthew, Yesseca is about to get married. Do you think Lothar knows up in heaven?"
"Yes, I'm sure he does," Matthew replied.
Selina's eyes were sparkling. "He really does love his sister very much. Lothar will definitely be watching her wedding up in heaven."
Matthew didn't respond.
He knew that Selina was talking like a child right now.
"I hope that Yesseca will be happy for the rest of her life. I don't think I've let Lothar down." Selina said this, sounding very emotional.
Matthew held Selina's hand and said, "Of course not. Don't worry about it Selina. Yesseca will be just as happy as you are."
"That's good." Selina then closed her eyes happily.
The next day.
On the last day before the wedding, Preslie went shopping with Yessica.
Preslie had told her that this would be her last day as a young girl, so she should spend the day with her best friend.
As soon as they met up, she said expectantly, "Oh Yesseca, tomorrow, you'll be a real woman. Cherish the last day of your life as a young girl!"
Yesseca was quiet.
She felt embarrassed when Preslie said this.
What did she mean that she would become a real woman tomorrow?
She smiled helplessly and said, "Don't say that. Even after I get married, things will still be the same as they are now. Nothing's going to change." "So, we can still hang out as often?" Preslie's eyes lit up.
She was worried that once Yesseca was married, she would end up like every other housewife in the world. She would live every day being surrounded by her children and her husband. She would be so busy with them that she would never have time to be with her friends anymore.
"Of course we can." Yesseca said confidently.
Preslie was overjoyed. "That's great to know."
They strolled down the commercial district of Nashaland and bought some snacks which they ate as they shopped.
The wind was blowing very pleasantly today. They both enjoyed it.
Preslie then sighed and said longingly to Yesseca: "Yesseca, even though you've said that we can still go shopping after you've gotten married, I can't help but feel like this will be the last time we can ever go shopping this freely ever again."
This was just a thought she'd had.
Yesseca didn't understand what she meant by this.
She looked around, visibly confused.
Preslie then explained, "Think about it. After you marry him, you will be the wife of the president. As his wife, you will have to make public appearances. Once ever single citizen of Nashaland knows who you are, do you really think that you can still go shopping so leisurely with me again?"
Yesseca was quiet.
If Preslie hadn't mentioned this, she would never have thought about it.
With that being said...
Yesseca began to have a headache.
She didn't like being surrounded by a crowd of people.
Yesseca then said, "Then I won't make any public appearances. So long as Tremaine is there, I won't have to."
Preslie then said seriously, "That's impossible. As the wife of the president, you must appear in front of the public. It's your responsibility."
Yesseca was troubled.
