Chapter 283: Chapter 283

Julian Yardley, on the other hand, looked dismissive but still silently went to the window to check the situation downstairs.

Catherine Yardley stood behind Shannon Quinn with moist eyes, a mix of comfort and emotion in her gaze: "I never thought I’d see such a day, watching you get married."

Shannon Quinn looked at Catherine Yardley in the mirror and smiled: "Mom, it’s such a joyful event, why are you crying?"

Catherine Yardley wiped her tears and said, "Mom’s just happy."

Soon they heard a knock on the door, followed by Leo’s voice: "Mom, open the door! Dad is here to pick you up!"

Catherine Yardley was about to open the door when Iris Wilde quickly rushed over and said to the door: "Brother-in-law, push the red envelope in!"

Landon Sutton was prepared. He gave Ronan Rhodes a look, who knowingly smiled and bent down to push a red envelope inside.

"Brother-in-law, there are seven or eight people inside! How do we split one?"

Ronan Rhodes pushed several more envelopes in, and Leo, who saw it from the side, asked, "Dad, why didn’t I get a red envelope?"

Before Landon Sutton could answer, Ronan Rhodes said to Leo, "Call me brother and I’ll give you a red envelope."

"Brother!" Leo quickly obliged for the red envelope.

Landon Sutton glared at Ronan Rhodes: "Using my money to tease my son?"

Ronan Rhodes chuckled, and Leo was joyful after receiving the red envelope.

Iris Wilde just went through the motions. After getting the red envelopes, she opened the door.

Catherine Yardley reached out to hold Leo’s hand, looking at his little suit, all dressed up: "Our Leo looks so handsome."

Landon Sutton could hardly wait to rush into the room. Seeing Shannon Quinn sitting in front of the vanity mirror, his gaze softened.

Susan Wilde arranged the veil, stepped aside, and Landon Sutton walked behind Shannon Quinn, and the two looked at each other in the mirror.

Shannon Quinn smiled shyly and asked him, "Do I look good?"

Landon Sutton nodded: "Of course."

Surrounded by family and friends, in a sea of blessings and laughter, everything seemed perfect.

Landon Sutton picked Shannon Quinn up and gently placed her into the lead wedding car.

Media friends were all around, eager to report on this wedding of the century.

After going through so much to reach this day, both of them felt numerous emotions, even though the wedding date was set long ago, Shannon Quinn still felt excited at this moment.

Landon Sutton, despite having faced many storms, was also slightly nervous and dazed.

After much effort and turning around, finally marrying the woman he loved, he felt that all the breakups and reunions would only make them cherish each other more in the future.

The wedding was held in a magnificent palace, with pumpkin carriages, crystal shoes, colorful balloons, and fragrant roses...

It was enough to fulfill every woman’s inner princess dream.

The girls in the audience, whether married or unmarried, all looked envious, even Shannon Quinn felt that she was blessed by the heavens to receive Landon Sutton’s love.

It was Shannon Quinn’s first time at this wedding venue. She didn’t know whether it was Landon Sutton’s idea more or Susan Wilde’s, but everything about this place exceeded her imagination in its beauty.

Actually, even if it were just a simple wedding ceremony, it would be enough for her; the important thing wasn’t the luxury, but marrying the right person.

Susan Wilde attended with Shawn Rhodes today; in public, they played the part of a couple well.

Not overly intimate, but at least didn’t let others see any signs of trouble.

In this kind of setting, Laura certainly didn’t dare to attend as Shawn Rhodes’ companion, but whether Laura was there or not, Shawn Rhodes’ heart was with her.

Shawn Rhodes sat beside Susan Wilde, and the two hardly communicated, he kept sending messages on his phone, and it was clear who the recipient was.

Even though Susan Wilde knew her marriage was destined to have no good outcome, and she no longer yearned for love, at this moment, watching Shannon Quinn and Landon Sutton kiss sweetly on stage, a hint of envy still appeared in her eyes.

What she didn’t see was Simon Rhodes in front of her, occasionally casting his gaze on her.

Sheila Yardley sat in the front row family section, paying no attention to what was happening behind her.

In such an atmosphere, she followed the crowd’s applause mechanically, with her thoughts somewhat drifting.

Catherine Yardley turned to her and Julian Yardley and said: "You two siblings need to hurry."

The siblings froze for a moment, and Catherine Yardley continued: "Julian, there’s no rush for you, Iris is not of age yet, but I’m worried for you, Elaine, your sister said many boys at your company are pursuing you, find a suitable one to bring to me later."

"Mom, my career has just started, I’m not in a hurry for such things."

"A girl just needs to earn enough to live on, what big career do you want to create? Plus, a career can be built by two people together, you’re at the age to discuss marriage, don’t be shy. If you don’t have someone suitable around you, I’ll help you find one."

Elaine smiled slightly helplessly: "Mom, why are you so eager to marry me off? Matters of the heart can’t be rushed, let’s talk in two years."

"Two years ago, you also said to wait two years."

"Alright, today is sister’s big day, let’s not discuss these worrying matters."

The wedding ceremony concluded, and guests gradually made their way to the restaurant to dine.

Catherine Yardley said she wanted to go to the washroom, so Elaine, worrying she might get lost, went with her, waiting outside in the corridor.

With a moment of free time, she took out her phone from her bag and flipped through it casually, soon hearing a childish voice nearby saying unclearly: "Daddy, that way!"

She instinctively looked up, and her whole body froze.

The man was her nightmare, a haunting presence she could never shake off these years...

As their eyes met, hers revealed caution which Caleb Grant seemed to have expected.

Moreover, it seemed he already knew she was here, showing no surprise upon seeing her.

Watching him approach, holding a little girl, Elaine’s gaze slowly shifted from him to the girl.

Her heart felt as though something was blocking it, causing difficulty in breathing. Chapters first released on NoveIꜰire.net

On the delivery day, she only experienced heart-piercing pain, hearing only the cries of the baby before losing strength and passing out.

When she awoke again, the hospital room was empty, and there was no sign of the baby by the bed.

And he never appeared again.

He took the child, fulfilling his promise to give her freedom.

She had never seen the child she bore for ten months, only knew from the nurse that it was a girl.

After being discharged, she left the city alone and never inquired about him or the child again...
