Chapter 1016 The Wedding 1
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
âOkay, I understand. You can head down first. Iâll join you shortly.â Tristan always respected Lincolnâs
decisions because he held him in high regard.
âHurry up. Quit dawdling!â Lincoln said before descending the stairs.
He had been greeting the guests downstairs, as it was his duty to do so. After all, it was his brotherâs
wedding. However, Tristan could not stay hidden from the guests.
When Sophie observed his reluctant return, she flashed a wide grin.
âAll right, I know youâre busy today. Thereâs no need for you to stay here with me.â The bride often has
a relatively easier time as compared to the groom.
âOkay, remember to give me a call if you need anything. Iâll bring it to you right away. Oh, by the way,
Iâve arranged some food for you. Remember to eat later.â Sophie probably hasnât had breakfast yet.
She must be feeling hungry.
âOkay! You should hurry on!â She was aware that Lincoln had come upstairs to search for Tristan
earlier, and it wouldnât be appropriate for him to stay in the room any longer.
âOkay.â
After Tristan left, the three bridesmaids entered the room to keep her company.
Even on this busy day, Lincoln made sure to order food for Sophie as he didnât want her to go hungry.
âSophie, are you hungry? Thereâs plenty of delicious food here. You should eat some,â Ysabelle said as
she brought the food over.
When Cecelia saw that Sophie was dressed in a way that made it inconvenient for her to eat, she
offered to feed her friend.
âMake sure you eat your fill. You need to conserve your energy for the wedding ceremony tonight and
consummate your marriage afterward.â Tristan had been waiting for this day for a long time.
They were unlikely to see much of Sophie for the whole of next week.
Sophie blushed at the mention of consummating their marriage. Tristan has been waiting for this day
for a long time, but he should be too tired to do anything today.
Even though Ysabelle had already eaten earlier, she decided to eat again to keep Sophie company.
âThatâs right, Sophie. You should eat more so that you have the strength to battle tonight.â
Normally, no one would have dared to provoke Tristan, but it seemed that these people wouldnât let him
off the hook so easily that day.
Sophie felt full after eating a small portion.
âHave you all had your meals? Georgina, have you eaten?â She was concerned about the womanâs
introverted nature and wanted to ensure she was well taken care of.
Georgina smiled and replied, âDonât worry about me. Iâve already eaten
Sophie was a warm-hearted person who tried her best to care for everyone around her.
âHow could Arius possibly let her go hungry? He takes care of her so well!â Cecelia said enviously.
Everyone seemed to be in pairs, except for her. She was still alone.
However, there was nothing she could do about it. Her destiny had not yet arrived.
They continued chatting in the room. With her three bridesmaidsâ company, Sophie didnât feel bored.
Shortly after, a group of children from the relativesâ families arrived, eager to receive the wedding
candies. Sophie stood up and fetch the treats for them..
Even though they came from affluent families, they were still children at heart. They were excited to
receive the candies.
Furthermore, the young girls were mesmerized by Sophieâs beauty and refused to leave.
âMommy, sheâs so beautiful. Will I be as pretty as her when I grow up?â
âMommy, I donât want to go outside. Can I stay here? I want to keep gazing at the fairy.â
Some of the children refused the leave. They wanted to stay and watch the beautiful bride.
âMs. Tanner, I apologize for their behavior. They are immature kids.â
âItâs all right. Iâm glad they like me. They can stay here if they wish to.â Sophie replied, pleased with the
childrenâs company. The little girls were all beautiful and well-behaved.
âWeâre really sorry.â Despite their mothersâ embarrassment over their childrenâs behavior, they had no
other option but to let them stay as the little ones adamantly refused to leave.
The wedding was held at a hotel in the evening. The wedding planning company had finished the
preparations, and all the guests had arrived at the venue.
Caleb naturally had to turn up for the wedding. As he was getting ready to leave, Willow promptly stood
âCaleb, can I go with you? Donât worry. I wonât cause any trouble,â she pleaded. After all, she did not
have the courage to disrupt such an important occasion.
It was Tristanâs wedding.
She just wanted to attend the event.
âAll right! Mom, you should go too! Itâs Sophieâs wedding. We shouldnât give others a chance to speak ill
of us,â Caleb suggested. As a family, it was only fitting for them to be present on such an important day.
Charmaine nodded in agreement.
Of course! How can I possibly miss my daughterâs wedding? Once Sophie is married to Tristan, our
standing in the social circle will undoubtedly rise. I canât afford to miss such a momentous occasion.
Willow finally managed to attend the wedding as she wished.
When they arrived, Mark and the rest were already present. He merely nodded to acknowledge their
presence.
Even though he wasnât very familiar with Sophieâs family, he knew their relationship was strained.
Meanwhile, Sophie had sent someone to escort Morgan to the hotel.
When Morgan arrived, he saw Caleb and the others. He knew that Willow and Charmaine didnât like
him so he didnât bother approaching them.
There was no need to seek unnecessary trouble.
However, Caleb took the initiative to approach him.
âMorgan, why donât you join us at our table?â Since most of the attendees were Tristanâs relatives and
friends, it might be awkward for Morgan to sit alone with them.
âSure, Mr. Tanner.â Morgan didnât refuse the offer. After all, he was there to witness Sophieâs joyous
union. Sitting at any table wouldnât make much difference to him.
The venue for the wedding was the most prestigious hotel in the city. It was renowned for its exclusivity,
often requiring reservations at least one month in advance.
Tristan had reserved the entire place for this special occasion and transformed it into a stunning setting
for the grand celebration.
The hotel, having received a substantial payment, was more than willing to cater to the eventâs needs.
Every corner was adorned with colorful decorations that created a festive atmosphere.
The guests present at the event were all affluent and influential individuals. Access to the venue was
strictly reserved for those with invitations.
Caleb brought Willow and Charmaine along, while Morgan had his own invitation. In fact, Sophie had
personally handed Morgan his invitation.
She was indeed a kind-hearted woman.
As they entered the hotel, Charmaine couldnât help but feel the stark contrast between her own social
standing and the upper class.
She had always thought the Tanner family did not truly belong to the upper class. It was at this moment
that she gained a profound understanding of what it truly meant to be part of the elite social circle.
