At night, Matthias wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep; Heather was also tossing and turning in her bed. Meanwhile, Myra and Tony were having pillow talk, and before they knew it, it was dawn. They weren’t supposed to spend the night together the day before the wedding, but they were unwilling to leave each other’s side. As such, they disregarded the tradition.
After changing into a suit, Tony spent most of his time in front of the mirror early in the morning. Meanwhile, in another room, a makeup artist was putting on bridal makeup for Myra. According to local customs, the groom was supposed to pick up the bride at her home, but due to certain circumstances, Myra was going to be ‘picked up’ from the next room. On another note, Tony had spent the past few days decorating their new home—a villa he had just bought.
Myra hadn’t seen the new villa nor did she know where it was since Tony wanted to surprise her. After they got married, they were going to move out and live in their own home.
Once a man was married and settled down, he would be completely independent. Knowing this, Sebastian and Lisa knew not to insist they stay. The wedding was unconventional as it was done in a way they were most comfortable with. In fact, they weren’t bothered by others’ opinions.
Today was a big day, so Heather had gotten all dressed up early in the morning. When she showed up, Myra’s eyes lit up as she stared at her incredulously.
It had been a long time since she saw Heather’s face without makeup. It was like going back in time to the day when she was leaving the country.
“You look so good. Time hasn’t left any traces on your face at all,” Myra gushed enviously. Without any makeup on her face, Heather surprisingly looked bright, and she still looked like a teenager.
Hearing the sincere compliments, Heather couldn’t help but feel a little shy, which was a rare sight. At that moment, her aura softened significantly.
“There isn’t any collagen left in my face, so stop feeding my ego. Today is a special day, and I thought you would like me this way.” Heather was wearing a bridesmaid’s dress and beaming brightly. A carefree smile like that was hardly ever seen on her face anymore.
As a matter of fact, that smile was so infectious that even Myra relaxed and smiled.
“I do. Thank you for doing this for me,” she said from the bottom of her heart.
Everything that Heather had done for her hadn’t gone unnoticed. Sometimes, Myra just didn’t know how to express her gratitude. She could only gaze at her gratefully, feeling blessed to have such a wonderful friend in her life.
“Focus on getting your makeup done and stop staring at me,” Heather teased as she gazed at Myra, who looked like she was overwhelmed by emotions. She was going to marry Tony today, and Heather felt like her precious friend was being taken away by someone else.
Without saying a word, Myra smiled. At this moment, Myra and Heather looked as pretty as a picture.
On the other hand, Tony was good to go. Myra wasn’t far away, and there were several times he had the urge to go see her.
However, he was stopped by Lucas, who was also dressed up today and looked energized. His stern and handsome face was captivating.
“Hold your horses. It’s still early, and it’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding ceremony,” Lucas said to Tony, hoping he would calm down a little.
“Myra must look especially beautiful today.” The corner of Tony’s lips curved into a giddy smile that even Lucas had to look away from. It was the smile of a man in love.
“Myra has always been beautiful, and today she will look even better,” Lucas chimed in.
“She will be the most beautiful bride today,” Tony said longingly, while Lucas nodded hastily. Tony was under a spell. Seeing the blissful smile on his face, Lucas felt a little envious.
He wondered when he would be able to experience such joy—a simple and pure love. He also wanted to walk down the aisle with the woman he loved and grow old together with her.
Waiting was the worst for someone who was filled with excitement. Since Philip and the others weren’t here yet, Tony chatted with Lucas. “Heather is the maid of honor.”
Glancing at Tony, Lucas waited for him to finish his sentence. “Looking forward to seeing her in the bridesmaid dress?”
Tony spoke implicitly. After all, Lucas was an introverted person and it wouldn’t be a good idea to be so blunt. He wasn’t as proactive as Philip, and Tony wasn’t sure whether Lucas or Philip was more compatible with Heather. However, it seemed like Lucas had better luck.
Of course, perhaps Heather wasn’t interested in either of them. Myra had also mentioned before that Heather might already have someone she liked, but they just couldn’t be together for certain reasons.
After having interacted with Heather several times, his impression of her wasn’t bad. If she was paired with one of his friends, he wouldn’t think of it as a bad thing.
Lucas smiled and dodged the question. Ever since he met Heather, he had indeed been acting differently, but it wasn’t a good thing because he wanted to control his emotions. Moreover, Philip was clearly interested in her.
It was difficult for Lucas to reveal his feelings. It was one thing to have a crush on her, but confessing to her was another matter. Just then, Lucas brushed off these thoughts. He internally cursed himself for thinking too far ahead out of nowhere.
Seeing the subtle expression on his face, Tony knew the answer, but with Lucas’s nature, he would definitely let Philip get the jump on him when the time came.
Whether it was Lucas or Philip who ended up with Heather, Tony would still be happy. He was only afraid that she didn’t like any of them. In fact, it was hard to suppress the urge to play cupid. Surprisingly, Tony found it quite amusing.
