Chapter 1455: Chapter 1458 To Become Abel’s Bride

When Alana couldn’t reach Emmeline and received only a busy signal, she turned to Albus and complained, “What kind of man doesn’t have the respect of his fiancée? She won’t be back for a few more. days.”

Albus stuttered, “Emmeline is an ambitious woman. It’s only natural for her to be busy with work.”

Giving him a sideways glance, she said, “Let me remind you of something. Emmeline is quite remarkable. She has many suitors vying for her heart. You’re not even good enough for her. If you’re not careful, someone might steal her away.”

Her words frustrated him, and he protested, “We’re getting engaged soon. There won’t be any problems in the future.

She simply sneered. “Anyone can ruin a sure thing. Not to mention, you’re dealing with a woman like her.”

“What do you mean?” He frowned. “What’s wrong with Emmeline?”

“She doesn’t like you, and she’s only following her mother’s wishes. Moreover, she has feelings for someone else.”

“What?” Albus‘ eyes filled with hatred as her words struck him. His face turned red with anger. Who is the guy?”

“I don’t know.” Alana fueled the fire. “But I’ve heard that he’s wealthy and influential. He’s a capable man, much better than you.”

Albus face turned pale at her insults, then his checks flushed with anger as he argued. “I might be incompetent. However, she’s engaged to me. Therefore, she shouldn’t be playing around with me.

Otherwise, she’ll learn that I’m not someone to be messed with.”

The next morning, after finishing his IV treatment, Abel took Emmeline for a drive. He parked the car in front of a jewelry store.

She immediately understood his intention and felt a tug at her heart. The next moment, tears blurred her vision.

“That’s not necessary.” She sniffled. “Spending money on someone to make them look good.”

“But it’s you. You’re not just anyone.” Abel said. Tm doing this for you, not for Albus.

After parking the car, he held her hand, and the pair entered the grand building.

Even though Emmeline was surrounded by jewelry, she frowned, not feeling the enthusiasm to shop.

She walked around the shop until Abel urged her to choose a set of jewelry. Eventually, she picked a set of pure gold accessories, consisting of a necklace, a ring, and a pair of earrings.

She must admit that she didn’t put much thought into the designs as she had something on her mind.

The details were the last thing she was worried about at the moment.

Besides, she wouldn’t wear these accessories in her daily life. She would only wear them for show during the engagement ceremony.

On the other hand, Abel lingered in front of the counter that showcased the diamond platinum ring.

According to Altney customs, the couple didn’t need to purchase engagement rings, as the groom’s family would prepare a golden ring, a golden bracelet, and a golden necklace for the bride.

He deliberately chose a ring named Love for A Lifetime for her.

He took Emmeline’s hand and carefully placed it on her ring finger.

She stared at her finger, knowing that she would never take off the ring for the rest of her life.

Tears began to roll down her cheeks.

Afterward, the pair returned to the car. Abel rolled down the window and lit a cigarette. A few minutes later, he turned to her and hoarsely asked. “Emma”

Lowering her head, she hummed a response.

“Would you like to be my bride, even if it’s just for a day?”

Her head jerked up at his suggestion as she questioned him with tearful eyes, “What did you just say?”

He smiled and pointed outside the car. She followed his gesture and saw a wedding studio. Realization immediately dawned on her.

Since she was fourteen, she had been dreaming of wearing a white wedding dress and becoming his beautiful bride, but now, she realized that a dream would always be a dream. Her dream would never come true.

Abel looked at her expectantly, but his eyes betrayed a hint of uncertainty.

“Yes!” Finally, Emmeline nodded, choking back her tears.

He leaned over, embraced her, and planted a soft kiss on her lips. “Thank you, my Emina”

Those words pierced her heart like a dagger. She could feel her heart breaking into small pieces.

She wanted to be Abel’s bride more than anything, even if she could only make her dream come true in studio.

She put on delicate makeup and changed into a snow–white wedding dress.

She stood proudly as a stunning bride in Abel’s arms.

Abel, with his hair perfectly styled, was wearing a white wedding suit.

He was as handsome and elegant as ever, but there was a glimmer of sadness in his usually dominant demeanor.

The pair stood close in each other’s arms against the backdrop of the beach. It was a beautiful scene that could touch one’s heart.

In the eyes of the photographer, they were a perfect couple, as if they were made for each other.

“To think I get to experience this with you, it makes my life complete.”

Pressing his forehead against Emmeline’s, Abel whispered as he held her slender waist.

Tears streamed down her face. “I won’t think about wearing a wedding dress anymore. Once is enough.”

“You silly girl. Every girl dreams of wearing a wedding dress and becoming a bride. He comforted her softly, “Don’t worry about me. I won’t mind what’s about to happen.”

She wrapped her hands around his neck and sobbed in his arms. “I never wear a wedding dress for a man who isn’t you.”
