Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3052

"You're better off sticking with me. My Morrison isn't that petty!" Right as Magdalen spoke, her phone rang. She answered, her tone instantly turning sweet. "Morrison!"

"My stomach is acting up," Morrison complained over the line.

"What's wrong?" Magdalen asked immediately.

Morrison frowned. "I think someone added vinegar to my oatmeal this morning."

Magdalen was about to say she hadn't tasted any, but her large eyes rolled as she caught on. She laughed, caught between amusement and exasperation. "I think you're just full of it. Your heart is too small, and your appetite is too big!"

She hung up without another word.

Manley stood nearby, arms crossed, watching her with a highly amused expression.

Unembarrassed by being called out, Magdalen simply sighed. "He's learning all the bad habits from Jonathan!"

Manley chuckled, straightening up. "I just spotted my dad. He doesn't know I'm back yet, so I'm going to say hi. I'll catch up with you and Estelle later."

"Go ahead. We'll wait for you!"

Manley turned on his heel, giving a cool wave as he walked away.

At ten in the morning, Emily made her appearance, her arm linked with Charlie's.

She wore a pale gold gown embellished with intricate metallic embroidery. Under the lights, the fabric cascaded over her like liquid satin. Designed by Estelle, the elegant and understated dress perfectly complemented Emily's gentle, radiant complexion.

A floral crown of daisies adorned her head, sparkling with colorful, dazzling gemstones.

Her eyes were clear and soft, her features delicate, and her cheeks rounded out with a glowing smile that brought out her subtle dimples. Standing next to the breathtakingly handsome Charlie, she didn't pale in comparison at all.

The James family hurried over. Mrs. James was carrying Kya, whom Charlie quickly took into his arms, planting a huge kiss on his daughter's cheek.

Dressed in a beautiful princess gown, Kya giggled like an adorable angel.

As Emily formally offered tea to Charlie's parents and addressed them as her own, Charlie held Kya, his gaze never leaving Emily. His attentive and protective demeanor only made the swirling romantic rumors seem all the more real.

...

The ceremony concluded flawlessly. By early evening, the guests gathered for photos under the setting sun.

Magdalen pulled Estelle and Emily in for a group shot. Just as the shutter clicked, Manley suddenly jumped into the frame holding Kya. The two of them flashed mischievous grins, perfectly capturing the slightly startled expressions of the three women behind them. The moment was frozen in time.

Sarah took plenty of photos too, sharing them in their old class group chat, sparking a wave of shock and congratulations.

In the pictures, Emily looked stunning, and Charlie was nothing short of breathtaking. Sarah repeatedly emphasized just how tall and handsome Charlie was, casually dropping facts about the James family's immense wealth. It wasn't long before Sarah noticed that June Goodwin had quietly exited the group chat.

As night fell, everyone gathered in the garden to mingle. Fireworks lit up the sky, elevating the celebratory atmosphere.

Betty walked over with a glass of wine to congratulate Emily, her tone slightly apologetic. "I hope the past issues didn't cause you any trouble."

Emily smiled and shook her head. "It's fine."
