“Thinking back to the day you were born, twenty-three years had passed since then...”
Mrs. Berry smiled with tears in her eyes and lamented in a choking voice.
“Time passes really fast. Before I even realize it, you have already grown up. Now, you're about to get married and even have three adorable children. All this while, everything felt just like a dream. There were both happy and sad memories but everything has come full circle now.”
She continued, “Miss, I have always worried that I am going to fail to take good care of you or cause you to suffer. If that happened, I will not be able to face your father in the afterlife. But now, I can proudly declare to him that I have fulfilled my responsibility.”
Mrs. Berry added, “Miss, Mr. Zachary is a good man. He loves both you and the children a lot. Hence, I'm sure both of you will lead a happy life...”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Charlotte nodded repeatedly with tears welling up in her eyes. Nevertheless, she was smiling with blissful joy.
She strongly believed that she will find happiness.
“Wait, what's that sound?” Hayley suddenly turned back to look.
“What?” Olivia turned around and saw a few shadows flash before her. Feeling unsettled, she asked Bruce anxiously, “Bruce, did you see them?”
“Shh...” Bruce shushed her so as to not alarm Charlotte unnecessarily.
He had of course seen them and used his watch to alert Ben and the other bodyguards. The Nacht family bodyguards were all well-trained and prepared for action. They were not going to allow anyone to disrupt the wedding.”
Olivia nodded and didn't say another word.
Nevertheless, she was still terrified as she couldn't help but tremble.
“Don't be afraid. We're here to protect you,” Bruce reminded her softly.
“Mmm-hmm.” It did make sense to her. After all, the Nacht family bodyguards were all well-trained elites and they had put the wedding under tight security measures. Hence, they would be fine.
As Hayley was a simple girl, she was quickly reassured by Bruce's words and didn't give it too much thought.
“Miss, I'm fat and have short legs. Hence, I'm worried I may not be able to catch up. So, please slow down or I may trip on your wedding gown.”
Mrs. Berry was still fussing about the entrance and discussed her concerns with Charlotte.
