Chapter 643:

Roderick felt it would be odd for him to attend the wedding without playing a part in the preparations. It made him feel like an outsider.

“We’ll have a meal with Stella in a few days. I’ll call you then,” Eileen replied. After a pause, she added, “Who else can support me like you, my brother?”

Roderick clearly appreciated the gesture. “Don’t worry. I won’t embarrass you. I’ll buy a suit, and I won’t let Judie and Denise come.”

“It’s fine if they just come for a peaceful meal. But you know how they can be,” Eileen said, her voice tinged with guilt as she worried about straining Roderick’s relationship with Judie and Denise.

Roderick reassured her, “I understand. Don’t worry.”

After a bit more conversation, Roderick hung up and returned to his small restaurant.

He wasn’t just thinking about the suit he needed to buy. He realized he had to spruce up his appearance—style his hair, focus on skincare. He couldn’t afford to show up at a fancy hotel looking unkempt and embarrassing Eileen.
