Chapter 398: Delayed Wedding

I could imagine Amelia and Harvey kissing under the white rose flower arch after they had exchanged their wedding vows. Amelia will look like an angel like always and Harvey is going to be super happy. Just thinking about it made tears of happiness sting my eyes. Suddenly, I felt extremely sentimental.

People rushed around to position and arrange chairs while many talented florists worked together to arrange the flower decorations. The wedding tomorrow was planned to take place quite early in the morning. Apart from the two of us and the bride and groom, the boss and some senior managers from the gang will join in. That was about it.

…

After a restless night brought about by my own excitement, morning arrived, and it was Harvey and Amelia’s turn to get married. I got up extra early to get well-dressed for the occasion. Hayden had to wake up early too. Unlike our wedding, when Harvey was still playing dead, Hayden had to operate as Harvey’s best man.

There weren’t going to be other bridesmaids or groomsmen, so Hayden’s role became even more important.

"How do I look?" Hayden asked, although he didn’t seem to care.

"Like a prince…" I replied without hesitation.

Instead of his usual white suit, Hayden wore a light grey suit instead for the ceremony. Everything probably looked great on him in my eyes given how in love with him I was. For the wedding, I chose a very simple sleeveless lavender purple dress.

By the time we navigated our way through the path in the garden and arrived at the designated venue, all the guests have already gathered. There were a little over ten people there and I could only recognize the boss and Luka. Men in black were on guard everywhere around the ceremony area and there were probably more of them than the guests that were present.

It wasn’t surprising, considering that the mansion was always heavily guarded.

"Hayden!" the boss called for Hayden loudly before he nodded at me.

I smiled back politely as we both approached him. The boss seemed very relax today and he was clearly in a splendid mood. As he should be, his eldest son is finally getting married to the love of his life after a couple of years of delay.

"Be on standby with the priest. The bride and groom will be here soon…" the boss whispered.

We all already knew that because of her recent recovery, Amelia couldn’t brave the walk down the aisle by herself. Harvey, being the worried groom that he was, also wouldn’t let anyone support her besides himself. As a result, when the time came, the two of them appeared together and completed the walk together.

Harvey helped Amelia get out of her wheelchair before he supported her all throughout the walk.

I arched my back and neck to turn around in my seat to watch the two of them walk down the aisle. Harvey had his arms around Amelia’s waist to support her. Just as I predicted, Amelia looked like an angel in her long sleeve mermaid wedding dress. Her long blonde hair was left to hang loose in waves that gave her a very relaxed and charming vibe.

The way she smiled at Harvey, and everyone showed how happy she was.

It was a very quiet and peaceful ceremony. I watched with tears in my eyes as the two exchanged their vows. When Harvey leaned in to kiss Amelia softly on the lips, it felt like I was watching a very romantic scene straight out of a fairytale. Everything was so perfect down to the white roses that framed their kiss in the background.

Hayden was smiling casually too and that was enough to make me know that things would really be alright from here on out.

Despite the fact that she turned up in a wheelchair, Amelia looked much healthier than before. After the ceremony was over, there wasn’t anything else planned. That meant that everyone just gathered into small groups to chat casually. We got a chance to take loads of photos with the bride and groom.

"You can finally leave the gang now…" Luka teased Hayden after he approached us.

I flashed Luka a shy smile and he nodded in acknowledgement. Luka had always been kind to me, and I had started feeling quite fond of him. He also acted like a second father to Hayden.

"Yeah, finally I can be rid of you…" Hayden replied jokingly.

"Have you decided on what you’re going to do? You can always stay and help Harvey out, you know?" Luka suggested with a grin.

Hayden just shook his head while he smiled a little sadly. That made me realize that Hayden probably had other plans or himself that had nothing to do with the gang’s operations and management. What those plans were, I have yet to find out. Hayden didn’t reply to Luka’s question as if he still wanted to keep his plans under wraps from everyone. Me, included.

…

The design of the gallery kept me preoccupied for many days to follow the wedding. After their wedding, Harvey ended up travelling with Amelia somewhere that was unbeknownst to us all.

"They’re on their honeymoon trip, aren’t they?" I asked with a smile.

"Sort of, but not really. Harvey probably took her somewhere quiet and where the air is fresher and cleaner. Apparently, that’s supposed to help with her recovery. The doctors think that she should be as good as new in a couple of months," Hayden replied smoothly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Oh, I see. That’s great, then. I hope she recovers well…" I said before flashing Hayden another smile.

"How are the designs coming along?" Hayden inquired about the progress of my art gallery.

Honestly, things were progressing well, but it was demanding work for me even if I didn’t have to work on the design myself directly, I still needed to provide input and feedback to the team of designers.

"Well enough. I’ve been working very closely with the design team. It’s quite a lot of work but we’ll make it work," I replied enthusiastically.
