It seemed that the Evert family was having second thoughts about the wedding, but Charlie wasn’t too sure about the details. “The two of them never really clicked, so a breakup isn’t surprising,” he said with a light chuckle.

Estelle thought of Marina and felt a pang of regret.

Carson Foster was never serious about relationships, and to Jonathan and Charlie, this was nothing new. They quickly changed the subject after a brief chat.

Dinner was winding down, and while Jonathan and Charlie talked, Estelle took Kya out to the balcony to play.

Emily approached and asked, “Didn’t Magdalen have a bridal makeup trial today? She hasn’t sent me any photos, and I’ve been dying to see!”

Estelle grinned, “There was a bit of a hiccup, so the trial’s been rescheduled to three days from now. I’ll send you pictures then.”

“Oh, by the way,” Estelle said, looking up, “Magdalen wants Kya to be a flower girl. She asked if you could check with Charlie to see if that’s okay?”

“Of course, it’s no problem. My brother’s wedding was supposed to have Kya as a flower girl too, but it didn’t work out. She’s mentioned it a few times since, so this will make up for it!”

Emily scooped up Kya, “How would you like to be a flower girl for Magdalen?”
