Chapter 0890

Peter, wanting to avoid making things worse, stepped out of the walk-in closet and left the bedroom, giving Celeste some space. As he made his way downstairs, he spotted his brother, Maximus, already there, along with the rest of the family. Everyone looked sharp, dressed for the occasion.

He sighed, regretting that Celeste still wasn't ready. He could tell her emotions were all over the place today—especially today.

"Hey, Peter!" Maximus greeted, but quickly noticed something was off.

"What's going on?" he asked, picking up on the tension in his brother's face.

"Celeste... She really wants to strangle me today."

"Yeah... I left the room to give her some space. She still hasn't decided what to wear, and we've been at this for hours. Nothing makes her happy. I keep telling her that everything looks beautiful on her, but she insists nothing fits right."

"Can I go up and see her?" Diana asked calmly.

"Please do. If you can talk some sense into her, I'd owe you one."

"I'll check on her. Normally, she's so easygoing-must be the pregnancy hormones."
