Wedding Dress Betrayal Finding Love With His Uncle novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Chapter 21

## Chapter 21: Get to a Doctor If You’re Not Feeling Well

As for the relationship between her and Ryan – even Liam and his wife knew the drill, going by all the past details. But they didn’t care, right? If the Simpson family didn’t even like their own daughter, why should they bother taking her seriously?

Liam got no response, and he knew right then and there. He glared at Ryan, a fierce, blazing anger in his eyes. He wasn’t sure what went down before, but Camren was clearly sticking up for his woman and making sure she established her authority in the Lewis family. Ryan had to show respect, whether he liked it or not.

“Ryan, you’re the junior here. Serving tea is a given.”

“Dad!” Ryan was stunned.

“I told you to serve tea. Are you deaf?” How could Liam not understand his son’s feelings? But at this point, they had no other choice.

Under countless gawking eyes, Ryan gritted his teeth and mechanically picked up the red teacup. His knuckles were white, veins bulging, but he could only submit to Camren’s overwhelming power. He knelt on the cushion, slowly raising both arms to hold up the cup. He squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth, “Auntie, please have some tea.”

Britney had never seen Ryan so utterly humiliated. A mix of emotions swirled within her. She reached out to take the cup, but Camren held her hand back.

“Is this your new wife? Would she like to join in?” Camren’s seemingly casual remark carried a chilling undertone that made Skylar shiver in fear.

Ryan didn’t want to admit it, but if he denied it now, this wedding would truly become a joke, with no room for recovery. He had no choice but to snap at Skylar, “What are you still standing there for? Get down now!”

Skylar bowed her head, trying to hide the hatred in her eyes. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. She had stolen Ryan, Britney’s supposed savior. Britney was supposed to be devastated, homeless, miserable. But instead, she had become Camren’s woman, and now Skylar had to serve her tea?

That bitch! What low–down trick did she pull?

Someone yanked Skylar’s arm hard, and she lost her balance, collapsing onto the floor. Her knee missed the soft cushion and hit the cold ground, the pain bringing tears to her eyes. “It hurts so much…”

Before she could finish, Ryan shoved the teacup he was holding into her hand, then grabbed another one for himself. “Auntie, please have some tea.”

Skylar knew this wasn’t the time to be stubborn. She reluctantly followed suit, serving the tea, “Auntie, please

have some tea.”

Chapter 21

Britney looked at the two cups offered to her and couldn’t help but remember the day they had embraced. That was a fake wedding, but today was the real deal. The same people were there, but their feelings were completely different.

Britney touched her chest. The heart that had throbbed so painfully that day, making it hard to breathe, was surprisingly calm now. She had always thought she loved Ryan so much, that she couldn’t imagine life without him, which was why she tried so hard to be worthy of him. Turns out, letting go wasn’t that hard after

all.

“What’s wrong? Not feeling well?” Camren gently squeezed her small hand, asking with concern, “Is it too loud? Do your ears hurt?”

Britney shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt. In fact, I actually feel… pretty good inside.”

Camren understood her meaning. He released her hand, personally took the tea from Ryan, and brought it to her lips. Camren was the main attraction at the wedding, the most distinguished person present. His doting, considerate gesture naturally shocked everyone. Britney even heard gasps from the crowd.

Camren leaned in and whispered in her ear, “Does this make you feel better?”

Britney paused. So Camren was doing this on purpose, just to make her look good? Even the usually serious, composed, and humorless Camren would do something like this?

A deeper smile touched her lips. She lowered her head and, with Camren’s hand steadying the cup, took a sip of the tea. Then, she glanced at the cup in Skylar’s hand. “There’s still another one.” Her playful, arrogant look perfectly embodied the spoiled darling.

Camren wasn’t angry; in fact, his gaze softened even more. He obediently took the tea from Skylar’s hand, even lifting the lid and blowing on the already cool tea before offering it to Britney. After she took a sip, he pulled his hand back, his thumb brushing her lips. “How is it? Good?”

Camren hadn’t pressed hard, but Britney felt as if her lips had been singed. She was still unaccustomed to such intimacy. She pulled his larger hand away from her lips, holding it in hers, afraid he would do something else she couldn’t handle.

She nodded. “It’s not bad.”

Camren lowered his gaze and saw their two hands, one large and one small, intertwined. A subtle smile played on his lips.

While Britney and Camren were immersed in their intimate moment, Ryan and Skylar were still kneeling, their knees aching.

Liam coughed loudly, “Cough, cough…”

Camren looked at Britney.

“Cough, cough…”

Chapter 21

Camren kneaded Britney’s hand.

“Cough, cough…”

Camren fiddled with Britney’s wedding dress.

“Cough, cough…” Liam’s coughs were so loud it sounded like he was trying to cough up a lung.

“If you’re not feeling well, go see a doctor. What’s with all the coughing?” Old Mr. Lewis rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed with the shameful display.

Camren seemed to just notice Liam. “Cousin, are you feeling unwell?”

“Camren, Ryan is still kneeling,” Liam said, trying to save face.

“Oh.” Camren casually waved his hand, and someone beside him handed two large red envelopes to Ryan and Skylar. In an ordinary wedding, a tea ceremony earning tens of thousands of dollars would be considered a generous red envelope. But for a wealthy family like the Lewises, those tens of thousands of dollars were no different than pocket change tossed to a beggar.

Ryan’s teeth were practically shattering, his eyes blazing red with fury. But at that moment, everyone’s attention was fixed on Camren and Britney. Skylar gently tugged on Ryan’s sleeve, but he roughly shook her

off.

The wedding continued. Ryan and his group were politely escorted to a side hall by the main house staff. Most of the wedding guests chose to stay in the main hall. Ryan’s meticulously planned wedding, which he thought would be the center of attention, had become an utter joke.

The wedding in the side hall hadn’t even ended when Allison and Jackson found an excuse to leave early. They were stopped outside the main hall, their faces awkward as they peered inside. Their legs were aching from standing, and with night falling, Camren and Britney still hadn’t emerged. Allison had no choice but to swallow her pride and ask a servant from the main hall, “Excuse me, do you know when Mr. Lewis and Mrs.

Lewis will be out?”
