The Reed that Frank was referring to was, of course, Cindy Reed.
I could not tell him that Grayson and Petra had found the wrong daughter, so I could only say, "I never changed my name, Frank."
Cassey looked at me and said to Frank, "You may have remembered it wrongly, Frank. This has always been her name. You were abroad before this. Now that you’re back, don't remember her name wrongly again."
The old man nodded and said with a smile. "The Louises' daughters are all more good-looking than the other. I couldn't have remembered wrongly, could I?”
The guests arrived one after another. After sending Frank into the parlor, Cassey held me and said, "It's time we change our gowns."
As we changed into traditional gowns, our makeup had to be redone as well. Hence, there was surely no time for lunch.
Upon entering the dressing room and seeing the bridesmaid’s gown in the servants' hands, I was a little stunned. "Isn't this gown a little too grand?”
The main characters in a wedding were the bride and groom, so the bridesmaid's gown should not be too
grand as it would not be appropriate to steal the bride's limelight.
She shook her head. "Not at all. It's according to the requirements of the princess that you should wear that."
I smiled and said no more.
I thought the wedding ceremony would take place at two o'clock in the afternoon, but it started at four.
By the time we finished changing our gowns and putting on our makeup, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
I ate something to fill my belly before helping Cassey t o the wedding venue.
The guests had already been waiting at the wedding venue. Caleb was standing in front of the stage wearing a traditional Italian suit, looking particularly elegant.
"You'll stand behind me later. Hold this dragon bracelet and hand it to us when the time comes.” Cassey handed me the two sandalwood boxes.
I looked at Grayson as he sat in the front row underneath the stage. He was clad in a black suit, and although he was already more than 50 years old, he still looked fine and superior.
"My father will walk me down the aisle later.”
