Chapter 257

Everyone started gossiping among themselves.

The priest had never handled such a situation but cleared his throat and said, “Love may be late, but it’s worth the wait. Let’s welcome the bride once more!”

Once again, the music echoed through the halls, but when that ended, Cecilia was still nowhere to be found.

Both parents of the families were panicking at this point, ordering their employees to investigate this matter. All of the guests were making their own assumptions as well, and the entire event fell into a state of chaos.

Renee couldn’t help her urge to nudge Stefan with her elbow, whispering.” Hey, is this your doing? Did you hide her somewhere?”

Stefan’s expression darkened, his voice frosty. “Mind your tongue if you’d like it to stay intact.”

Renee gulped and instantly shut up. ‘Well, was I wrong? Why did he have to be so mad?! Petty b*stard!’

Xavier was panicking the most out of everyone, rushing up the stage and calming the guests down as much as he could.

No need to panic, everyone! Our Chris and Cecy are no doubt each other’s true love, so this is definitely some kind of surprise to their wedding!

Please just wait a little longer!” He said.

Xavier had been crushing on Cecilia for years, and he was the standard simp for her at this point. He worked hard throughout the entire day, just so the wedding could go smoothly.

He just hoped that his muse could marry a good man, and enjoy a happy marriage for the rest of her life.

This sudden situation caught him rather off guard and left him feeling quite uneasy.

Compared to Xavier, Christopher, who was expected to panic most, looked rather calm as the groom.

He stood there emotionless as if this incident had nothing to do with him.

“This is bad! Miss Smith is gone! We could only find her wedding gown in the waiting room!” Someone came delivering the news after a short while.

“Gone?” Xavier grabbed the person by the collar, angrily shouting. “Don’t spread lies! Cecy is the bride here! How could she have gone missing? And she would never take her wedding dress off for no reason!”

“It’s true! If you don’t believe me, just go to the waiting room and see for yourself!”

Xavier then turned to look at Christopher, visibly anxious. “Chris, what are you doing just standing there? This must be a test from Cecy. Let’s go look for her together!”

However, the groom seemed uninterested. “These tests have gone on for an entire day. I’m sure she’s chosen her answer, and I won’t force her to do anything she doesn’t like.”

“Oh man, what are you even saying? She chose you! You’ve been together for so long! You’ve been through so much already, so don’t just give up at the very last second!”

Christopher still didn’t intend to get a move on. Instead, he seemed rather optimistic as he consoled Xavier. “Calm down. She’s an adult. She knows how to take care of herself.”

Hearing this, Xavier found himself speechless.

Christopher then turned to the guests, who were still gossiping amongst each other. “As you can see, it seems that the bride changed her mind about the wedding and chose to leave. I deeply apologize for having wasted your time, so let’s treat this as a simple gathering hosted by the Jacobs! Please do enjoy yourselves!”

“These youngsters are still too immature. We are truly sorry, everyone.” Christopher’s parents maintained a humble demeanor as they bowed toward the guests, despite feeling absolutely ridiculed in this situation.

With this, the chaotic mess soon subsided.

Suddenly, someone stood up from the crowd, announcing. “The bride didn’t leave on her own!

Someone else is behind this!”
