My goodness!
They were all very expensive and luxurious gifts!
With the things on this list, Yesseca would be rich even without marrying Tremaine.
Preslie was filled with jealousy.
She didn't envy Yesseca for how expensive her trousseau was, she was jealous of how kind Selina was.
She was so generous with her gifts, Yesseca could get married without having to worry about anything.
Selina made Preslie think about her own sister.
Amelia.
Preslie could not help but feel her heart ache.
Amelia would never be so nice to her. She would be lucky if she didn't insult her.
Yesseca accepted the list.
She then said to Matthew, "Okay, Matthew. I really appreciate your gift, but you'd better get going."
Matthew knew that Yesseca wouldn't want him to stay.
All Selina was concerned about was Yesseca.
But Yesseca was just as concerned about Selina.
Selina had wanted to attend the whole wedding.
Yesseca had also hoped that she could be there while Selina was in labour.
Matthew coming was the best compromise.
He had come to give Yesseca their blessings as a formality.
Matthew had planned to stay a little longer, at least until Yesseca walked down the aisle. But he noticed how strongly Yesseca was urging him to leave, so he decided it would be best to go, otherwise she would be upset for the rest of the day.
Before he left, he said to Yesseca, "Yesseca, have a blessed marriage. Your sister and I both wish you happiness."
Yesseca replied, "Thank Matthew, I really appreciate you coming all this way. You'd better get back to Selina now."
Matthew then promptly left.
But he didn't leave right away.
He went to see Tremaine first.
There were some things that he had to say to
Tremaine on his and Yesseca's wedding day.
Tremaine was already in his groom's outfit.
Just like Preslie and Yesseca had said, Tremaine looked so handsome that any woman would blush and feel their hearts beat wildly when they saw him.
Tremaine wasn't surprised to see that Matthew was here.
It would be strange after all if Matthew didn't attend Yesseca's wedding.
Tremaine said to Matthew, "I'll arrange for someone to take you to your room to rest while you wait. The ceremony will begin soon."
Matthew then said, "No, Tremaine, I'll be leaving soon."
Tremaine found this odd.
He was leaving so soon?
Matthew then explained, "Selina is in the delivery room. I have to head back to her now."
Tremaine understood why he had to go.
His wife was about to give birth.
When he met Selina for the first time, he'd noticed that she was pregnant. But he didn't expect her to give birth so soon.
Such timing.
Tremaine was also pleasantly surprised.
That even though Selina was about to give birth.
Matthew had rushed over to their wedding.
Even though he said that he had to leave right now, he had still come all this way to see them.
He realized how sincere they were towards Yesseca.
"I understand. How did you get there? Do you need me to arrange a plane for you?" Tremaine asked.
Matthew said, "No, my private jet is on it's way."
Tremaine nodded and said, "Then you should quickly make a move. This is a big moment for the both of you. You should be by her side."
Matthew smiled wryly, "That's what I thought as well, but she wanted me to come. Yesseca doesn't have any blood relatives, so we are the closest people to family for her. I had to come and see her anyway."
After pausing for a moment, Matthew said, "Tremaine, I have talked to Yesseca earlier. I have something to tell you now that I've found you."
"Go ahead."
