Chapter 2048
Night of Destiny
While Connor went out to make the call, the mother and daughter gazed at each other, and Selena said
while biting her lip, Iâm going no matter what.â âWeâll just sneak over if she wonât let us attend. The most
important thing is to get on the island.â
âMom, weâre not just going there to enjoy ourselves. The most important thing is that the worldâs richest
people will be attending the wedding. As if Iâll ever need to be a server again if I can befriend a few of
them!â Selenaâs confidence suddenly returned. She believed her identity as the brideâs cousin was
enough to keep up the appearance.
Outside of the house, Connor still shamelessly called Ellen after taking a drag. It rang for seven
seconds before Ellenâs voice finally came through. âHello? Uncle Connor?â
âEllie, Iâm not calling at a bad time, am I?â
âNo.â âI got your wedding invitation. Congratulations. Your parents wouldâve been happy for you too.â
âThank you, Uncle.â âEllie, is your wedding set on an island?â
âYes, itâs an island. Someone will come and pick you up on that day,â Ellen mentioned.
âIn that case, can I ask that you let your Aunt Olivia and Lena come with me? They really want to
attend your wedding, Connor bit the bullet and asked.
However, Ellen knew Olivia and Selena too well to know that they certainly didnât want to attend her
wedding to give her their blessing but only to enjoy themselves.
âEllie, weâve never really been anywhere, and I kind of want to show your aunt the world. Do you
suppose. âAlright, bring them along.â Ellen decided to look beyond.
After all, she wouldnât be seeing them. anymore after the wedding, and it was merely an issue of
adding two more seats. Connor was touched. This is exactly why Ellenâs luckier than my girl. Sheâs
worthy of it. âThank you, Ellie,â Connor said gratefully. âAlright, Iâll see you on the wedding day. I have to
go now.â
âAlright, see you then.â Connor hung up at that, then heaved a sigh of relief. When he went back into
the house, he found two pairs of eager eyes staring at him.
âCan I go, Dad?â Selena asked. Meanwhile, Ellenâs generosity came to Connorâs mind as he gazed at
his wife and daughter. âEllie said yes.â He nodded. âYes! Holiday on an island, here I come!â Selena
exulted, forgetting whose coattail she was riding on for a moment.
Olivia, too, heaved a sigh of relief. Life hadnât been kind to her nowadays, so it was great that she could
escape this hell for a moment.
What was more, it was an all-expenses paid trip, and she would get to witness a super richâs wedding.
Of course, she knew Ellen would be the happiest bride in the world that day.
The wedding was getting prepared in an intense but orderly manner. In order to help Ellen adapt to the
weather and lifestyle on the island, Jared decided to bring her there two weeks in advance, and
because the young woman had a poor appetite, four chefs were brought along with them, dedicated to
taking care of Ellenâs diet.
With that, Ellen would be living her last days as a bachelorette on the island. Her wedding and evening
gowns would be tried on by her on the island itself so that she could be entirely relaxed before the
wedding.
Elliot and Anastasia would be joining them, naturally. Willow, however, would only be joining her family
later as she had an academic exchange course to attend.
For Ellen to travel comfortably, the Presgraves deployed their largest private jet, and the following
morning, Ellen sat in the lavish cabin with Jared by her side as they flew for an hour.
The next time she stepped on the ground, the weather had become super pleasant, and Ellen thought
spring was in the air. At that, she spread her arms to feel the breeze, then looked up at Jared. âI love it
here!â
âWeâll stay here as long as you like,â Jared said with a smile, then held her hand and took her to the
waiting vehicle, which took them straight to the villas.
By the time they arrived, their luggage had been delivered and sorted out by the housekeepers. After
lunch, Ellen eagerly changed into a dress and headed to the beach.
