Chapter 706

"Cheers to the newlyweds," Merritt toasted, lifting his glass towards me. I barely had a chance to respond when another familiar voice chimed in, "Sister, best wishes on your new journey." Before I could turn to Merritt, Nelly's voice reached me, "Mrs. Ford, congratulations on your wedding!"

Nelly and Gregory were old acquaintances, so her presence wasn't a surprise.

Christine and Merritt were thick as thieves lately, too preoccupied to bother with Dailey.

Thankfully, they weren't about to start a brawl at our wedding.

Still, catching glimpses of Dailey's stoic face did stir some concern within me.

Yet, with everyone gathered, I raised my glass in a polite gesture, "Thank you."

Nelly sipped her drink, offering me a slight smile, "Hang tight, I'll go rescue Greg for you. We can't have your wedding night delayed, especially with Dai just getting over his cold. It's killing two birds with one stone." Her last words seemed to carry the most weight, though I didn't delve further, simply replying, "Thanks for the help."

"It's no trouble at all."

As Nelly left, my gaze shifted towards Christine, who was busy feeding Merritt, completely ignoring Nelly's departure.
