He planned to spend the rest of his life with his daughter and grandchild. As he had a wonderful son-in-law, he did not have to worry about retiring.
Nigel was one of the best men today and he seemed lively in the early morning. The other two best men were from the Presgrave Family with one of them being Jacob. He was able to attend the wedding since his grandfather was Mr. Presgrave’s closest cousin, and as such earned him a spot at the reception.
Lewis, Lorelai’s brother, was the other best men. The three best men were partnered with the three young ladies from the Presgrave Family, making it an entire affair of the Presgraves.
“Grandpa.” Jared embraced Francis.
“Jared, let me take a closer look at you. Oh, you’ve gotten taller again and in future, do strive to be just as successful as
your father was!” Francis pondered, I’m
going to keep an eye on your
development.
“Yeah! I will definitely be as capable as Daddy. “Jared answered with confidence. His name was still registered as Jared Tillman, but after the wedding, he would have his name legally changed to Jared Presgrave.
Francis’ eyes were slightly reddened and tears were welling up. After all the unfortunate events that occurred, he was still blessed with a charming little grandson as well as a kind and devoted daughter.
“Grandpa is bringing you to play around.” Francis led Jared out after he was done talking.
At Villa No. 58, Sophia was excited today as well. She rose from bed earlier to view the scenery from her balcony. At that very moment, there was a tap on her door.
When she went to open the door, a woman greeted her and said, “I’m the manager of the concierge department, Miss Goodwin. Your gowns have arrived,
so please come down and make your selection.”
Sophia suddenly thought of what Arthur had said and never expected him to surprise her by getting her a gown. Then, she nodded and went down with them.
She saw a hanger cart with more than ten evening gowns on it as someone pushed the cart down the hall. They were stunning gowns that were definitely made by renowned fashion designers.
Sophia reached out to decide her choice one at a time since she had her own personal style and color preferences too. The gown that she chose was a stunning light champagne color with a U-shaped neckline and two strands of light veil covering the shoulders. Such a design. would showcase a woman’s gorgeous collarbone and shoulder lines..
As for the waistline design, it was matched with a light fabric skirt ornament that shimmered with tiny star like glitters; the whole combination in itself looked stunning.
“I’ll take this one!”
“Yes, the makeup artist will be here in half an hour to do your makeup.”
“Thank you.”
Sophia also picked a pair of high-heeled shoes to match her attire. She had no idea Arthur had planned such treatment for her to keep her from embarrassing him.
He had confused her because he could have prevented her from attending the wedding if he believed she’d embarrass him. Is he trying to put me down?
In the bridal dressing room, Anastasia changed into her wedding gown. It was a French court dress with an elegant off shoulder design. The gown was entirely adorned with handmade diamonds upon closer inspection, which made it a stunning masterpiece.
Each of the star-shaped diamonds adorning her thin waist was beautiful and enchanting in its own way. The gown’s hemline was stylish without losing its
magnificence since it used elements that were inspired by cultures.
“What do you think of the makeup, Mrs. Presgrave?” the makeup artist asked. The mirror reflected a gorgeous woman who radiated grace and endearing qualities; she was absolutely breathtaking.
Anastasia tilted her neck and nodded, “Excellent.” The foundation that the makeup artist used on her had concealed the bite mark that was on her neck.
It had been concealed for a while! She had a little flush on her cheeks.
At this moment, three people who were properly dressed for the occasion Anastasia’s bridesmaids-approached Anastasia. One of them, who was two to three years younger than her, praised, “Miss Anastasia, you are extremely beautiful!”
“Only a wonderful beauty like you, Miss Anastasia, is worthy of our uncle.”
Anastasia tried to restrain herself from laughing every time she heard these
remarks. Elliot was treated like an uncle to the group of young members of the Presgrave Family when he was merely twenty-nine years old whereas she was regarded as their aunt at the age of twenty-five.
“You’re all very gorgeous today, too,” she praised. The three of them were all of the same age and had the same type of makeup while they were all dressed in purple.
