Chapter 248

Everyone turned to look at Stefan, expressing disbelief. Most knew about the messy history between these three, after all.

It was already quite surprising that Stefan attended the wedding in the first place, but now that he even took part in these wedding games, it resulted in everyone finding the man rather forgiving.

Stefan pressed his lips together, remaining silent and standing still. He looked like he wanted to refuse.

The atmosphere felt tense and extremely awkward in an instant.

Realizing that they were going to be late, Xavier started panicking and sighed deeply. “Stef, we know this is crossing your boundaries…’

‘But we have no choice. Didn’t Cecy say she feels guilty about wronging you? That’s why she wishes to hear your blessing! I’m guessing she’ll be leaving the door shut till you speak up. Why don’t you just…

fulfill her wish.

Just this once?”

Christopher furrowed his eyebrows. “Xavier, don’t push Stef. He should be the last person to ever do this!”

“But…”

Before Xavier could continue, Stefan opened his mouth, interrupting him dismissively.

“It’s fine. If this is really needed, I’ll do it.”

He then knocked on the door in front of everyone, frowning lightly. ‘Cecilia, don’t worry, and just open the door. I’ve already moved on, and I really do wish both you and Chris the best.”

Soon, Cecilia’s soft and regretful voice could finally be heard from within the quiet room. “Stef, Chris, and I are deeply sorry! We know we’ve done you wrong. I’ve been waiting for your forgiveness for so, so long… Thank you, truly…”

After that, she opened the door slightly.

Seeing this, the groomsmen immediately attempted to barge inside, with the bridesmaid trying their best to stop them.

Thus, the event once again broke into a chaotic, lively atmosphere.

Stefan’s tall figure was currently standing at the side of the crowd, observing them silently instead of participating. His eyes were visibly filled with an endless swarm of sadness…

Out of safety, Renee was standing at the very side too.

She snuck a glance at Stefan, only to be met with his depressed expression. This immediately aroused her sympathy and made her heart ache for him.

‘Dang, this is too much for him, isn’t it?’

‘His first love ended up dating AND marrying his best friend. Yet, for some reason, the victim had to be the one to heal her heart… Poor Hunt…’

‘He must be so sad now. Could it be that… he was never able to move on from Smith?!’

‘Oh god, it must be so hard to watch his one true love marrying his best friend!’

As Christopher was finally able to meet his bride, everyone started cheering loudly.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

Renee took another glance at Stefan again, noticing that he was narrowing his eyes further.

‘Seeing this is definitely torture to him…’ She thought, slowly moving towards the man. For some reason, she decided to hold onto his hand.

The man froze up and turned to look at her, his face filled with sheer confusion.

Renee winked at the man, whispering under her breath. ‘No need to thank me, I’m just repaying you for the dessert! Don’t worry! I have your back! You won’t look like a loser with me around today!”

Hearing this made Stefan frown even deeper. ‘What… does she even mean?’

Renee could tell that he was stupefied, and this got on her tiptoes, whispering into his ear. “I know you’re still in love with Smith, and it’s hard to watch her get married to another man.” ‘You were frowning so much, you know? I can’t believe they even made you congratulate their marriage! How inconsiderate…”
