I complimented her from the bottom of my heart, "You look exceptionally gorgeous!"
After receiving my praise, she sighed gently. "It's a pity I can only wear this till noon. I’ll be changing out o f it after lunch.”
I froze. "Why do you have to change?"
Cassey shrugged. "Caleb's family is a scholarly family. They prefer a more traditional wedding dress."
After a pause, she said, "You'll have to change too."
I nodded with a smile. "Traditional attire isn't that bad either."
"That's true." Cassey cast her eyes down at the wedding dress she was wearing, finding it to be a slight pity about it. "But I love this one."
At this moment, Caleb walked over wearing a white suit. His figure was long and slender. He looked gentle, just like a charming young man.
He looked at us with a smile. "We have to wait for all guests to arrive at noon before we can start eating. You guys should have something to eat first."
"Yes." Cassey held my hand and took me with her. "
Let's have something to eat first."
Theo followed me at every step. Cassey looked back at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Grant, your wife’s mine today. Mr. Nicols and Mr. Lynch are in the parlor. There are games of chess and tea there. Call the waiter if you need anything. Please make yourselves at home.”
Theo stopped in his tracks, frowning hard.
He was clearly a noble and elegant man, but he seemed like a resentful woman at the moment.
I laughed and looked at Cassey. "Give me a moment."
I let go of her hand and walked up to the man. "I'll go find you when I'm done."
Having said that, I stood on my tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss his cheek.
