When Hector slapped his thighs, Alice shot him a glance and asked, “Hector, what’s wrong?”
Seeing that the old man did not stop hitting his own thighs, Alice was scared out of her wits.
“Help, where’s the doctor?” she yelled.
Shortly after, they moved to the lounge and could no longer be bothered with any ceremonies.
Alice had initially wanted to go on stage, yet now, she had given up the thought. She only wanted Hector to be fine.
Felicia stood next to Patrick, waiting for the emcee to announce their names so that they could go on stage.
Never in her life had she felt so nervous. She kept taking deep breaths.
Although she was not getting married on this day, she would officially carry Patrick’s last name after the day was over. The man would belong to her, and she would become the envy of every woman.
Moreover, she would also become the leading lady of the Ashton family, and no one would dare to snatch her position away. The more she thought about this, the calmer she became.
I can’t embarrass myself later. I absolutely can’t.
The emcee said excitedly, “Let us invite the future bridal couple on stage!”
Patrick strode onto the stage as Felicia followed hurriedly behind. Suddenly, she twisted her ankle and almost fell.
Rachelle helped Felicia up and said, “Felicia, be careful.”
“I know,” replied Felicia in an icy tone.
She lifted her dress, raised her chin, then walked onto the stage pridefully.
The couple’s appearance made everyone cheer and clap in delight.
The reporters’ cameras were facing both of them directly while live-streaming the ceremony to the public.
The engagement ceremony was a pivotal event in Avenport. Thus, everyone was looking forward to it, eager to witness it live.
Standing beside Patrick, Felicia looked at his handsome face. However, on such an occasion, Patrick was not afraid at all. His strong aura was enough to intimidate everyone.
However, the footsteps he took were huge, so Felicia failed to catch up to him. On top of that, her high heels were too tall. She accidentally twisted her ankle and fell on the stage.
“Patrick…” she called out to him miserably while stretching her arm out in the direction he was leaving.
Unfortunately, the man did not stop. He left the ballroom with no hesitation.
Tears rolled down Felicia’s face. She looked downright pathetic at that moment.
Candace swiftly got on the stage and helped her daughter up. “Fel, are you injured?”
She examined Felicia’s body briefly and saw that her daughter’s expression was gloomy and grim. Yet, right then, not a single person was willing to step forward to give them a hand.
Only Candace, a mother who truly loved her daughter, would reach out to novelxo.com fast updateFelicia.
The latter plunged into her mother’s embrace and asked, “Mom, what do I do? He doesn’t want to get engaged anymore.”
Despite knowing that the relationship between them was fake and was merely a deal, she was willing to devote herself to it. Hence, she did not understand why Patrick could not hold out a little longer
