After a lingering ki*s, he held her fingertips and said, âLaura, letâs get married.
â
Their wedding ceremony was small in size but exceptionally grand.
Attended by only close family and friends, numbering fewer than 50
individuals, the church was adorned with warmth.
The Fowler family attended the event.
To Alexisâ surprise, Edwin also invited Leonel, who appeared sharp in a three-piece suit, though visibly leaner.
Leonel approached leisurely and took a seat beside Alexis.
He ardently admired her in the beige dress, gracefully enveloping her slender contours.
This was an outfit he had never seen before.

On the stage, Edwin and Laura swapped wedding rings.
In a hushed tone, Leonel remarked, âIf it hadnât been for that night, maybe we wouldâve ended up married as well.
â
Alexis remained silent.
She was cognizant of Leonelâs recent activities.
The dates set up by her parents started getting canceled, with no one daring to ask her out.
She understood it was orchestrated by Leonel.
As a prosperous businessman in Duefron, he now wielded substantial influence.
Born into wealth and privilege, Alexis didnât hold Leonelâs strategies in high regard.
She maintained a composed demeanor towards him, unwilling to engage openly in discussions about those matters, deeming it futile.
Concluding the wedding, as she rose to depart, Lauraâs bridal bouquet unexpectedly landed in her arms.
All eyes were focused on her.
The atmosphere was delicate, especially with Leonel seated beside her.
Alexis forced a smile.
âIt looks like I should invest more effort into dating!â
Clenching his fists, Leonel intensified his hold.
Holding the bouquet, Alexis planted a ki*s on Lauraâs cheek, saying, âHappy marriage!â Afterward, she departed.
