Chapter 1020 Toast
Changing Only For Her
Sean was actually looking at Cecelia too. She looked very pretty that day. He didnât have any particular feelings before, but ever since that night, he realized how voluptuous her figure was and how seductive she could be in bed.
However, at that moment, Cecelia was pretending not to know him. Is it really necessary for her to go to such lengths? I was drunk that night, but what about her? Wasnât she sober? Why did that happen, then?
He couldnât voice those questions then because if he did, the words might sound very hurtful to Cecelia. I really donât mind taking responsibility, but she doesnât want me to, Sean was in distress. I slept with her, and now things have taken such an awkward and undesirable turn. Forget it. Iâll deal with this after Tristanâs wedding.
His mind was in a chaotic state at that instant, and he didnât have the slightest clue as to how he should address that issue.
Eight people got on the elevator. When they reached the venue, the banquet had already begun.
Tristan and Sophie went from table to table to greet their guests.
The couple first arrived at the presidentâs table.
Seeing that even the president had come, the three bridesmaids were astonished. No one had told them that the president was there. Even the three groomsmen were also stunned.
At that instant, the president stood up while holding a wine glass in his hand.
Since he had gotten to his feet, the rest of the people around the table naturally followed suit.
âTristan, Sophie, Iâm delighted to know that you two are getting married. Both of you are Chanaeaâs hope. Iâm certain that your union will also bring prosperity to our nation.â
âMr. President, we are grateful that you took the time to attend our wedding despite your busy schedule.â With so many people around, Sophie didnât feel anything special about the presidentâs advent.
After all, that was her and Tristanâs wedding ceremony.
The two had wanted a simple celebration, but because of William, they had to organize that grand wedding.
Now that the president was also there, they had to spend time entertaining him, which Sophie found nothing but tedious.
âSophie, youâre now part of the medical association, so I might be in your care in the future.â The president was very polite. He regarded Sophic, the twenty-one-year-old girl, with great respect.
âOf course.â
After toasting at that table, they moved to Williamâs table. The people seated around that table were all family, and Morgan was also among them.
Tears welled up in Morganâs eyes as he witnessed how blissful Sophieâs life was. Old Mr. Tanner can now rest in peace. The granddaughter he cherished the most is truly happy now.
âYou two must stay well together in the future. I can only rest assured if I see the two of you happy.â
William repeatedly advised. âStill, both of you are good kids, so I believe youâll be fine.â
âDad, donât worry. Weâll take good care of each other.â
The following table consisted of Mark and the others. All five band membersâ eyes reddened when they saw how happy Sophie was.
âWeâre not going to say much. With our relationship, we donât need to elaborate further. Anyway, Mr.
Tristan, remember never to make Sophie cry. Otherwise, even though we can win you, weâll still fight you,â Sunny said agitatedly.
âDonât worry. How could I bear to make her cry? I canât wait to shower her with more love.â Tristan was particularly tolerant of Mark and his band members.
There were over a hundred tables at the venue, and all of the attendees were wealthy and influential.
Tristan and Sophie went from table to table for a toast.
The three groomsmen performed their duty by helping Tristan to intercept and drink the glasses of wine. After going around, the trio had also consumed a considerable amount of alcohol.
By the time they reached the last table, Felix was already getting unsteady on his feet.
He leaned against Ysabelle. âYsabelle, I think Iâm really drunk. You must take good care of me tonight, okay?â He staggered, feeling light-headed.
âDonât worry. Iâll take care of you today. Now thatâs enough. Stop talking if youâre drunk.â Ysabelleâs heart ached terribly as she took in his intoxicated appearance.
âI knew you were the best,â Felix said, resting his weight on Ysabelleâs shoulder while wearing a contented expression. My girl is really gentle and thoughtful now, âOf course.â Ysabelle genuinely loved him. She had come to realize her feelings since that incident in Fandar.
When Sophie walked over, she saw Felix in that pathetic state. She figured he mustâve dedicatedly carried out his task that day. Otherwise, he wouldnât have gotten that drunk.
âTake him upstairs to rest. Thereâs nothing much left to do here. Weâll be calling it a day once we see all the guests off,â Sophie said to Ysabelle.
âOkay, all right. Iâll bring Felix upstairs first. Donât worry about us later. Iâll have the hotel staff send food to us.â
Sophie and the others had also been busy all day. Ysabelle didnât want them to trouble themselves to take care of her and Felix. They could look after themselves. After all, that was a hotel. They could get whatever they needed.
âWait here a moment. Iâll ask Sunny to lend you a hand.
âSophie, thatâs not necessary. I can still walk.â Ysabelle was so fond of those band members from The Wheelers that Felix didnât want their help. He could walk on his own.
âArenât you drunk?â
âI am, but I can still walk!â Must one pass out on the floor before theyâre considered drunk?
âFine. You two go upstairs first, then.â Sophie didnât call for help since she noticed Felix could still get by.
The guests began to leave one by one, and Tristan and Sophie went to the door to see them off.
Sophie wasnât used to wearing high heels. She felt that her legs were about to give way.
Only after all the guests had left did she breathe a sigh of relief. Noticing Morgan was still there, she approached him at his table.
âMorgan, itâs very late now. Would you prefer to stay in the hotel tonight, or should I have someone take you home?â Sophie was exceptionally gentle when talking to Morgan, treating him like she did her grandfather.
âMs. Sophie, donât mind me. Youâve also had a long day and havenât even eaten yet. Hurry up and have some food. I can go back by myself.â Morgan had stayed there simply because he wished to see Sophie for a longer time.
âIâll ask someone to take you home. Morgan, donât overthink, and just take good care of the mansion for me.â Sophie knew Morgan was afraid of troubling her, so he had been wanting to leave.
However, she knew he had no relatives left. Where else can he go? I donât mind taking care of him for the rest of his life.
âMs. Sophie-â Has Ms. Sophie always known? I really did plan to leave. An old man like me will only burden Ms. Sophie. I really shouldnât stay here any longer.
âIf you leave, my grandpa will blame me.â
âOkay, Ms. Sophic. Thank you.â Ms. Sophie is genuinely a kind-hearted and warm person. Most of the time, sheâs just not good at expressing herself
