The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 1181

Bastien usually wore neutral tones. On this particular day, however, he was dressed in the traditional Loang colors. With the bright red and green articles of clothing, he lost some of his etherealnesses, but everyone was still awestruck by how felicitous his attire was to the festive occasion.

The woman standing beside him was gorgeous and exquisite. Although she was not smiling, her aura made her seem ethereal and elegant.

Yandel glanced at her and mocked, “I thought she was going to be a goddess. Look at her! She's way uglier than Boss! Bastien's taste is questionable...”

Although he thought she seemed elegant, no one could exceed Natalie's position in his heart.

After he said that, he instinctively asked Samuel, “Samuel, what do you think?”

Samuel was captivated by the woman the moment he laid his eyes on her.

In that instant, it was as if time had stopped. All he could see was the woman beside Bastien.

When Yandel did not hear Samuel's reply, he turned and realized the latter was staring intently at Lunetta. He exploded with anger and bellowed, “Samuel! How can you stare so unblinkingly at her? That woman is so ugly! How can you not take your eyes off her?”

“She's not ugly. She's the most beautiful woman in the world,” Samuel said simply.

“You—”

Yandel was ready to defend Natalie.

“Samuel, do you know what you're saying? Have you gone blind?” He felt defeated. Although it was natural to be fascinated with someone new, he did not want that to happen to Natalie.

To be it simply, Yandel felt that Samuel should remain single for Natalie's sake.

Even if Samuel met someone better in the future, Yandel selfishly wanted the former never to betray Natalie.

“Yandel, you're the one who is blind, not me...” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“You! Do you believe I will—”

Samuel cast a glance at Yandel, who was so angry he was panting, and interrupted in a deep voice, “Yandel, sometimes what you see is not always the truth. I don't have the time to explain this to you, but I hope you understand today's occasion. Even if you want to settle our differences, you must wait until this event ends first.”

As soon as Samuel spoke, Yandel noticed the guests' attention had fallen on them.

Yandel furrowed his brows and did not say anything else. He harrumphed loudly to convey his anger.

Meanwhile, Daniel, Patricia, and Jerome were standing together.

After Natalie's death, Jerome lost much weight and matured very quickly. The once youthful energy he emitted had almost vanished.

Patricia stared at the couple on the stage and advised Jerome earnestly, “Jerome, look. Even Prince Jonathan had moved on from Natalie. You shouldn't be so sad...”

Natalie's death had crushed Jerome.

Patricia was devastated upon seeing this. She was beyond heartbroken as she had not seen Jerome smile since Natalie's death.

She already felt bad for her son's love for Natalie not getting reciprocated. Now that Natalie had passed away, she felt that the former had also brought away a piece of her son's soul. Besides sighing, there was nothing else she could do.

“Mom, you don't have to be so worried about me.”

Daniel also tried to comfort Patricia. “Jerome is a soldier. He may not be as strong as you presume, but he's definitely not as weak as you think.”

“I know.”

Jerome's gaze fell on the woman beside Bastien subconsciously. He felt that the woman from the Lovas family looked like Natalie.

He lowered his head to take a sip of the wine.

Did Bastien really move on from Natalie just like what Mother said?
