Chapter 2091
As night fell, Ryan hosted a warm and lavish dinner at the castle.
Knowing his wife's fondness for dolls, he had the castle adorned with adorable plush toys and a pair of teddy bears on every dining table.
There was a brown one dressed in a black tuxedo, representing Ryan, and a soft pink one in a white wedding dress, snuggled up to the brown bear, symbolizing Carrie.
Due to Carrie's health condition, she could not eat overly greasy foods. Therefore, the banquet featured dishes that suited her palate, made from the finest ingredients flown in specially. Though the food was light, they were exquisite. It satisfied every guest.
Since Carrie could not drink alcohol, there was not a drop of it served. Instead, various fruit juices and teas filled the glasses.
When it came time for the couple to offer a toast, Ryan presented Carrie with a cup of orange juice. Having been in the hospital for so long, she indulged, happily drinking three cups, her smile sweet and wide.
During the performance segment, Ryan held his wife by the waist as they stood on stage. They watched as Justin, Axel, Ralph, and Arnold took the spotlight.
Under the eager gazes of the crowd, they performed a heartfelt rendition of "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You".
This was a song that Yasmin had chosen for them. She had written in her diary that she hoped to sing this song at the wedding.
However, her wish had become a final, unfulfilled dream.
But Ryan believed that, wherever she was, Yasmin could see what he had done and was surely blessing them.
Throughout the song, Bella gazed deeply at her lover. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as the beautiful melody played.
"Bella, didn't you tell me your man can't sing?"
Roza's eyes sparkled. She then nudged Bella, who was lost in the joy and happiness of the moment. "He's not bad! At least every note is on key."
"Even though he acted all nonchalant and confident around me, he's been waking up an hour early every morning to practice this song." Bella rested her chin in her hand as she gazed dreamily at her man. "I know exactly when he gets up every day, even if he tries to hide it. He's the type who aces every test but always says he didn't study much. But in reality, he's been burning the midnight oil,"
"Wow... We had people like that in my class too. I couldn't stand them. They're so fake!" Roza joked, shaking her head with a smirk.
"Bella, your hubby's a bit of a show-off." Amelia quipped from the side.
With hands on her hips, Bella playfully scolded them. "You guys better not tease Justin! I'm fiercely protective of him! Besides, what's wrong with him putting in some extra effort? Unlike some people who don't take things seriously and end up singing like a banshee, with eight out of ten lines off-key!"
"Ahhh! Sure, Ax might not have much talent for singing, but you're being way too harsh!"
Feigning anger, Roza reached out to tickle Bella, who burst into laughter, twisting away to dodge her.
"Look at you! I never even mentioned Ax, but you jumped to the conclusion! You haven't even married him yet, and your heart's already over here? Hahaha..."
The two best friends ended up in a playful scuffle. Watching from the side, Amelia could not help but join in with laughter.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"Ugh...!"
Suddenly, Amelia's face turned pale. She clutched her mouth, quickly getting up and slipping out of the banquet hall like a gust of wind.
At that moment, Steven, who was busy mingling with the guests as the secretary, had not noticed anything unusual with his partner.
"What's wrong with Amelia?" Bella looked in the direction her sister had rushed off, surprised.
"I've been with Amelia these past few days, helping prepare for Carrie's wedding." A concerned expression crossed Roza's face. "She's been looking a bit worn out lately. Her appetite hasn't been great, too. I'm not sure if she's feeling under the weather or just dealing with some minor sickness."
"Really? I'd better go check on her!" Worried about her sister, Bella immediately stood up and left the table.
On the other side of the room, the blissful newlyweds smiled warmly at the groomsmen, who had just finished their heartfelt performance.
Ryan could not resist pulling his delicate wife closer, holding her tightly by the shoulders as he kissed her forehead, cheeks, and the corners of her lips.
A lifetime would not be enough to express all his love for her.
