Chapter 1604
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
âMommy!â
The voices of my children could be heard approaching, and Ashton held me steady as I watched them
come running over with baskets of roses in hand.
Theyâre obviously playing the part of page boys and flower girls. Ashton sure has found a way to
combine traditional and modern wedding rituals perfectly!
âDonât forget me!â Emery walked up to the stage from my left and teased me by asking, âYou donât mind
having a divorcée like me as your bridesmaid, do you?â
âOf course not!â My heart was filled with so much happiness that I couldnât care less about anything
else.
The emceeâs voice was then heard over the microphone, âNow then, please put your hands together
for the bride and the groom!â
Just like that, Ashton and I made our way down the red carpet once again while the crowd cheered
loudly around us.
âCongratulations on getting married, Mommy and Daddy!â The kids chanted repeatedly as they
scattered the flower petals around us. I turned to glance at Ashton and saw him staring passionately at
me, the look in his eyes expressing his regrets for not being able to love me even more than this.
Meanwhile, John helped Louis onto the stage and sat him down on the chairs prepared for the
newlywedsâ parents.
As we stood before him, the emcee continued with his speech, âYou have declared your consent before
God. May God in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings. What God
has joined, men must not divide.â
The entire ceremony took about fifteen minutes to complete, and I found my cheeks starting to ache
from smiling too much.
The event was followed by a donation from Fuller Corporation to all the guests present at the event.
Ashton had mobilized a huge amount of people to organize this grand wedding ceremony and prove
his love for me, so it was inevitable that he would have to reward them in some way to please the
crowd. This resulted in the wedding being a little showy, but I was still very satisfied with it due to the
amount of effort put into the whole thing.
At some point, the crowd grew wilder and began chanting repeatedly in unison, âEnter the bridal
chamber!â
My eyes went wide upon hearing that, and I quickly gave Ashton a look that said, âWeâre not seriously
going to broadcast the consummation too, are we?â
However, Ashton pretended not to understand my concerns and simply held his hand out as he said
helplessly, âCome on, letâs not disappoint them now.â
I shifted my gaze in the direction he was pointing at, and saw a fancy carriage parked beneath the
stairs.
âThis isâ¦â I was so overwhelmed by happiness that I couldnât even complete my sentence.
âI made sure to pay the craftsmen an additional sum of money when I bought this carriage three years
ago, so theyâve been keeping it in good condition ever since. Who wouldâve known itâd end up
becoming a part of our dreams today, eh?â
He said âour dreamsâ⦠Ashton has subconsciously made my dreams a part of his!
The thought of that prompted my tears to start falling yet again as I got into the carriage.
Ashton then climbed onto a white horse in front and pulled the carriage with it while his âservantsâ
escorted us along the way.
Countless drones hovered around the carriage to film the process, and I didnât know whether to laugh
or cry as I saw the journalists taking pictures of me with my ruined makeup.
Of course, I knew it was all part of Ashtonâs idea to capture every single moment on camera, so I didnât
mind it one bit.
