Chapter 196 Quinn Wants a Paternity Test with Jasmine

Jasmine's tears fell unchecked, tracing a path down the back of her hand, their moisture seeping into the fabric of her scarf.

Ethan had long been aware of Jasmine's scars, yet he never broached the subject, always treating her with respect. Still, he had the tailor craft a matching scarf for her wrist, a gesture of genuine thoughtfulness that could easily have made her fall for him. But Jasmine felt she had no more strength left to love someone, fearing that allowing herself to fall in love again might put her life in jeopardy.

The wedding banquet was predictably extravagant, befitting a wealthy heiress. Rumor had it that each guest received lavish gifts, and only the elite were granted invitations. From the Douglas Family, only Ethan and Howard were present. Ethan attended, but Howard was notably absent, possibly due to recent embarrassments involving Clara, the chairwoman of Stellar Enterprises. Meanwhile, the entire Cunningham Family was in attendance, underscoring their significant influence in the business world.

"Nolan Cunningham, have you missed me?" The bride, not exceptionally beautiful but undeniably gracious, greeted her guests warmly.

She exuded the air of a carefully raised princess, her laughter bright and pure.

"If I say I missed you, the groom should be getting nervous," Nolan Cunningham quipped with a chuckle.

Jasmine, seeking refuge, stayed close to Ethan, attempting to avoid any interaction with Nolan Cunningham.

'Evidently, Nolan Cunningham could joke too. I had thought him to be perpetually scowling,' Jasmine mused silently.

"Ethan, what about you? Do you miss me?" the bride asked directly.

Ethan took Jasmine's hand and smiled. "If I admitted missing you, then it's me who should be nervous."

Jasmine blushed, standing beside Ethan, feeling the weight of the curious gazes around her.

Before entering the venue, Jasmine had overheard whispers about the bride's past feelings for Ethan. Despite his rejection, she remained amicable with him, eventually finding her own love and now preparing to marry a testament to her generous spirit and sunny disposition.

"What a beauty! Ethan, you've hit the jackpot. How did you manage to win her over?" The bride, now excited, approached Jasmine, reaching out to cup her face. "She's stunning, isn't she? Forget about him; what's so special about men anyway? Choose me instead."

Jasmine looked nervously at the bride, uncertain of how to respond.
