Chapter 198

Early the next morning, Joycelyn woke up to find a team of over ten stylists bustling in to prepare the bride and bridesmaids for the big day.

Isolde and Luna had their own personal stylists, while Ellison and a few of the other men only required basic grooming.

The wedding was intentionally kept simple, skipping many of the usual complicated rituals.

After her makeup was done, it was time to style her hair. Joycelyn enjoyed her breakfast as the hairstylist worked on her updo.

“Lucy, did you sleep in the room on the right side or the left side last night?” Joycelyn suddenly asked, glancing at Lucy beside her while chewing on a piece of toast.

“I stayed in the right–side room with Lucky,” Lucy replied casually.

“Really? That’s odd. I thought I heard Ellison say Haddy was staying on the right. I was worried you two might have gotten mixed up, Joycelyn said with a curious blink of her eyes.

Then, realizing what she had just said, she thought, ‘Oh no, if that leads to a misunderstanding, it’s going to be so awkward.

Lucy’s previously radiant face stiffened for a brief moment, and she quickly forced a polite smile. “Ellison must have been mistaken,” she said lightly.

“Probably,” Joycelyn replied with a shrug, her curiosity satisfied. She hadn’t dwelled on the question, much less entertained the idea that there could be any connection between Lucy and Haddy.

By around ten o’clock, the wedding preparations were in full swing.

William, as the master of ceremonies, took charge of the proceedings, while Henry handled the photography for the day.

The ceremony was set on a beautiful outdoor lawn, the lush green grass dotted with pink and lavender roses. The decor was delicate and whimsical, creating a magical, almost fairy–tale–like atmosphere.

The guest list was kept intimate, with only about 20 to 30 attendees, mostly Isolde’s close friends of many years. Among the younger crowd, only a handful of friends like Haddy were present.

The ceremony was simple yet warm, beginning with a heartfelt speech from Isolde.

Joycelyn, clad in an elegant white wedding gown, looked like an angel descended from the heavens. The sparkling diamonds on her gown caught the sunlight, twinkling like stars and adding to her ethereal charm.

Standing by her side, Ellison held her hand firmly as they faced the guests under the golden sunlight, receiving blessings and well–wishes from family and friends.
