However, the guards around where Evan was being kept had been doubled, making it extremely difficult for the children to sneak in.
Juan sighed, “It’s such a shame that we don’t know how to fly. With that many guards surrounding the area, it’s impossible to get in!”
The four had staked out the place for most of the day, but the number of guards showed no signs of a decrease, so they had no choice but to retreat.
“There’s nothing we can do now. We’ll have to see if Uncle Davin can stop the wedding tomorrow and rescue Daddy.”
After Juan finished speaking, Maya nodded vigorously and put her hands together to pray.
Nina looked at her sister in puzzlement and asked what she was doing.
“I’m praying for a miracle for tomorrow,” replied Maya.
All her siblings widened their eyes silently.
Kyle was amused because his mother would always do the same thing. Nicole would often put her hands together before mumbling something.
Will there really be a miracle tomorrow?
The wedding venue was extravagantly decorated with a dazzling chandelier, a red carpet, bottles of champagne, and rose petals everywhere. There was an ambiance of romance and celebration in the air.
The guests lamented on how the previous two weddings had not worked out. Everyone wondered if the third time would really be the charm.
“If you ask me, I think the couple should break up if the wedding fails again this time. That’s three strikes!”
“If I failed to marry the same woman twice, I’d just give up on her even if she’s a goddess!”
“But it was because of Murphy’s condition, wasn’t it? I don’t think it had anything to do with the bride.”
“Bad things always happened on their wedding day. The bride’s probably a jinx!”
“He’s got a fair point.”
Light from the chandelier shone down on the carpet as Levant walked slowly to the center of the stage with Nicole on his arm.
All the woman could think about was how Evan would be released to leave Wicked Palace with the children as soon as she got married.
To her, the wedding was just part of the deal for Evan’s freedom – it was nothing worth feeling happy or sad about.
Seeing that the wedding was about to start when the couple reached the stage, Stephen suddenly rose to object to the wedding.
“I’m Nicole’s father, and I’m not giving my daughter away to Levant!”
“What’s going on?”
“What’s happening?”
“Damn, is something happening again this time? This is going to be good!”
As the guests continued their discussions, Portia looked at her husband in surprise before growling, “Have you lost your mind? Why would you say such a thing?”
Stephen paid his wife no mind and continued to stare at Levant and Nicole.
“I raised you, Levant. Even though you’re not my biological son, I treated you like my own, so I’d know that you’re not the right one for Nicole. She doesn’t love you. Of that, I’m sure. There’s no point in marrying someone who doesn’t love you. You won’t be happy, Levant. Better a finger off than one wagging. It’s not too late to let go now. Trust me. You’ll find someone better.”
An intimidating glint flashed across Levant’s eyes. The man had done everything he could to make sure his third wedding go smoothly, but never did he expect Stephen to be the one to ruin things.
I’m a wedding away from marrying Nicole. We’ll then stay together forever, and I’ll finally have the love I’ve always dreamed of.
I won’t let anything go wrong!
Levant turned to Nicole, who stood beside him in a white wedding dress and whispered a warning. “If you want Evan to walk out of Wicked Palace alive, you will shut your father up now!”
The woman’s heart skipped a beat. She knew Levant would only let Evan go after their wedding.
