“Is this my godmother, Godfather?” Jared asked with a smile while looking at Sophia next to Arthur.
Sophia choked as she was about to take a sip of tea to quench her thirst. “No, no. You misunderstood, kiddo,” she said, covering Jared’s mouth and coughing lightly.
Without saying anything, Arthur simply curled the corner of his mouth.
“We are just friends,” Sophia attempted to explain.
“My daddy and mommy were also just friends before they fell in love and married.” According to Jared, friends could become husband and wife.
Sophia fixed her gaze on Jared. He was as attractive as his father, and his sweet little face made her want to pinch it.
“I’m not worthy to be with your godfather!” she scowled.
“Miss, don’t worry. You are so beautiful. You’ll be a good match for my godfather,” Jared said, looking back at Arthur.
Hearing that, Sophia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Someone couldn’t see her beauty! Someone always thought she was ugly!
“Thank you for your compliment.” She smiled as she raised her brows.
Arthur sat down and placed Jared next to him. His best friend was getting married, and he should look after his son.
The newlyweds were delivering speeches on stage. Elliot went into great detail about his meeting with his wife. His words were brief, but they came from the depths of his heart, and his love for her was clearly profound.
Harriet, who was in the audience, also spoke briefly. She sincerely wished them well and yelled through the microphone to her grandson, “Elliot, please treat Anastasia well and don’t let her down.”
“Please know, Grandma, that I only love
her in this life, and I will live up to it,” Elliot replied, looking at the woman next to him.
Lorelai turned to face the man on the stage at the banquet. Her eyes darkened as she heard his words, as if she was about to challenge something. Her red lips. twitched slightly as well.
The ceremony was straightforward and solemn. They exchanged rings after reading the oath. During the kissing session, Elliot only kissed Anastasia’s forehead because she requested it beforehand.
