When they stopped by Arthur’s table, Jared happily went over and hugged his parents. Anastasia then took the opportunity to spoon some of his favorite food on his plate and whispered to him to eat well. Sophia was captivated by how gorgeous the newlyweds looked, especially Elliot, who was not only handsome but also had a good body shape and exuded a noble disposition. Moreover, he looked warm when he smiled.
As Spohia’s attention was captivated by the newlyweds, she heard a young man next to her coughing, as if reminding her to dial it back. Right after, she got slightly embarrassed and took a sip of tea as she looked down. At the same time, Anastasia noticed the beautiful lady next to Arthur, who seemed like a good match to him.
“Artie, introduce her to us.” Elliot smiled as he glanced at his good friend.
“There’s no need to.” Arthur shot a look at Sophia placidly.
Just then. Sophia stood up and greeted the bride and groom politely. “Mr. and Mrs. Presgrave, I’m Sophia Goodwin. I’m honored to attend your wedding banquet, and I wish the both of you a blessed and happy marriage.”
“Thank you!” Anastasia seemed to really like Sophia, and she was left with a good impression of the woman.
“Artie, look after Ms. Goodwin well and don’t neglect her.” Elliot patted Arthur’s back since this was the first time his good friend showed interest toward a lady. Truth was, he was glad about it.
Meanwhile, Lorelai, who was seated on the third row’s table, looked sullen as she raised her glass and took a sip of wine. She was distracted while the younger Presgraves were enjoying themselves.
“Miss Lorelai, what are you thinking about? You should be happy on such a lively occasion!” One of the Presgrave girls asked her.
‘I’m really happy.’ She tried to squeeze out a smile and held her forehead before
saying, “I’m just tipsy.”
The juniors couldn’t tell what was going on in her head and just asked her to have less wine. Just then, Lorelai saw Elliot walking toward them with his hand around Anastasia’s waist. She immediately adjusted her hair, wanting to look her best in front of him. Although she was as pretty as Anastasia, she didn’t get to marry him since Anastasia was his one and only true love!
“Elliot.”
“Mr. Presgrave.”
Since Elliot was rather senior within the Presgrave Family, the juniors greeted him like how they usually did. He was addressed in a few different ways and it amused Anastasia, who giggled as she buried herself in his arms.
“Lorelai, do take good care of them.” Elliot raised his glass at her. Thereafter, Anastasia stretched her hand over and patted on her back, “Lorelai, have fun today.”
“Sure, I will.” Lorelai smiled as she nodded.
Soon after, the newlyweds went to the next table. Since Jonathan was a renowned businessman, he knew all the guests by heart and was able to mingle with everyone. The banquet hall was filled with laughter, which gave it a lively atmosphere.
Dissatisfied that she was seated at the last row, Katrina complained, ‘It’s a humiliation to be seated at the last row!”
Upon hearing that, Mason turned over and glared at her before whispering, “Stop with the nonsense. You’re lucky to be invited here tonight. Can’t you see that those who are here tonight are the elites?”
Not convinced by him, she grumbled,. “Isn’t it obvious that they looked down on us?”
“You shouldn’t think that way. Even if you are seated at the other tables, do you think you can blend in with the: billionaires? You’ll be uncomfortable around them since all of them are rich and powerful business leaders. In truth,
Mason was relieved that he wasn’t seated there.
Since the duo were currently seated together with the Presgrave Family, they had common topics to talk about. Very soon, Elliot and Anastasia approached their table. Katrina took the chance to look at the handsome Elliot for as long as she could since she wouldn’t have the chance to do so anymore in future.
“Mason, Katrina, thank you for attending my wedding,” Anastasia uttered earnestly.
“Anastasia and President Presgrave, congratulations to both of you.” Mason raised his glass.
