Kaia was touching up her makeup when Tobias approached.

“Kaia, you really embarrassed me in front of our relatives today.”

Tobias had tried to hold it in, but in the end, he couldn’t help confronting her. If he didn’t speak up now, what if she refused to let him walk her down the aisle later?

“What are you talking about?” Kaia asked, seigning innocence.

“Lucien should’ve addressed me as his father, don’t you think?”

The trickling water and the graceful melody complemented each other beautifully.

Kaia held onto Alden’s arm, smiling through every photo and pleasantry as she greeted the guests arriving one after another.

Her face had started to go numb from all the smiling.

Luna and Alden arrived last, arms linked. At her own wedding, Luna hadn’t had a fountain like this.

She certainly hadn’t hired a pianist either. Standing here now, the comparison made her own wedding look embarrassingly simple.
