“Ms. Lane most likely did something wrong to Mr. Seet. That’s why Mr. Seet gave up on her with such decisiveness.”
“Hey, we don’t know what actually happened. Who Mr. Seet marries doesn’t concern us. So, just sit back and watch…”
Suddenly, the crystal chandelier above the hall turned dark.
Everyone looked around, not knowing what was going on when a beam of light lit up the entrance of the hall.
Susan stood there, holding onto Evan’s arm.
She had a brilliant smile on her face while he contrasted her with his cold and emotionless expression.
Levant was immensely delighted not far away as he looked at the bride and groom enter the hall.
He turned his gaze towards Nicole, who was staring at the couple. She wore a very slight frown on her face as if a million thoughts were going through her head at the moment.
“Nicole, don’t you think they look good together?” Levant deliberately asked.
Nicole inspected the woman next to Evan. She looked gentle and shy; she was definitely beautiful.
A handsome man beside a beautiful lady. They… They do look good together.
Her lips twitched as she nodded.
Her fists instinctively clenched. She was confused on why she could feel her heart aching inside. And then, she shed a tear.
It felt as if she had just lost something really important to her.
Nicole Lane! You had such dirty thoughts of this man in the past, but those were just thoughts. What are you doing right now at his wedding?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became and the more suffocating it felt.
Out of the blue, Evan looked towards her and their gaze met. She could see the flickering in his eyes; it was a mixed feeling she could not quite understand.
Is he… sad? No, that can’t be. Why would he be sad at his own wedding? I must have had too much champagne.
Nicole immediately turned away to avoid Evan’s deep dark eyes.
“What’s wrong, Nicole?” Levant asked.
“Levant, I need some fresh air.”
Upon seeing her sort of disoriented, Levant grew nervous. Don’t tell me she remembered something?
“Nicole, the gift is already here. We already gave them our blessings, so let’s just head back. How does that sound?”
Nicole felt really uncomfortable staying there, so she thought it was better if they did.
“Okay.”
Levant quickly escorted her out, and they left together right after.
Evan, on the other hand, was unwillingly going through the wedding procedures with Susan, looking like a machine.
Just when the proceedings ended, the four kids burst into the hall, still trying to catch their breath.
They were dumbfounded to see their father in a suit. The bride beside him was not their beloved mother.
Daddy’s really marrying someone else?
“Daddy! You can’t marry her!” Kyle shot Evan a cold stare.
Nina also looked at her father menacingly. “Daddy, why are you marrying this woman?”
Maya could not hold in the tears in her eyes as she screamed, “I want my mommy! Where is Mommy!”
The guests were puzzled.
“Are these kids Mr. Seet’s four children?”
“Looks like they are quite against Mr. Seet getting them a stepmom.”
“I think I’ve figured out why Mr. Seet held this wedding so hastily.”
“Why?”
“He didn’t want his family to stop him. I heard that the Seets like Ms. Lane a lot, especially Sophia Clinton, the mother-in-law. Mr. Seet must have seen this coming.”
“No way. It wasn’t Mr. Seet’s idea. I heard it was the bride that insisted that they conduct the wedding immediately.”
“The bride? That means she’s the one worried that Mr. Seet’s family would stop them. That’s why she wanted it to be official as soon as possible. If that’s the case, this woman is slyer than we thought.”
Evan was silent as he walked to the kids. There wasn’t a hint of anger in him as he looked at Davin and Sheila, who were beside the children. “Uncle Davin will bring you guys back.”
“No! We’re not going back!” Kyle insisted.
Nina clung onto Evan’s shirt. “Daddy, you should come back with us!”
