CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 184: ROGER LEONARD AND ISABELLA JOANNA’S WEDDING 1_2

Rebecca Quentin maintained a calm and indifferent tone, "It’s okay. Since he and I are no longer together, there’s nothing to avoid."

Isabella Joanna was worried that continuing this topic would make things worse, so she quickly changed the subject, "Uh, Roger, do you think I look pretty in this wedding dress..."

Roger Leonard’s attention was completely drawn to Isabella Joanna at that moment.

"Beautiful, everything looks good on my wife."

Isabella Joanna playfully punched Roger Leonard’s chest, "Hey, you sound so perfunctory..."

Roger Leonard quickly wrapped his arms around Isabella Joanna’s pregnant but not bulky waist, dotingly saying, "I can never love you enough; when have I ever been perfunctory with you?"

"You’re annoying, so cheesy..."

"Honey, I’m happy today..."

While the two lovers were immersed in each other’s love, Rebecca Quentin quietly exited the dressing room.

Seeing an open-air balcony at the end of the corridor, Rebecca Quentin made her way through the corridor and walked onto the balcony.

Winter was not over yet, and the balcony exuded a chilly coldness.

Rebecca Quentin didn’t feel cold; instead, she took advantage of the cold to calm her thoughts.

Her friend had finally found a good home, and she was genuinely happy for her, but her own situation now was undeniably desolate, and she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness in her heart.

She sighed and looked desolately into the distance.

In her mind, she involuntarily thought of that person again...

To be honest, she had originally thought that if they ran into each other, it would be awkward not to say hello, but when Roger Leonard mentioned that he might not be able to make it, she was really relieved.

She wasn’t someone who liked to drag things on...

Since they couldn’t be together, there was no need to entangle further. Everyone was still young; it’s not too late to start their own lives.

He and Alice Robinson’s news appeared more and more frequently in the newspapers, she thought, his life had already made progress.

Thinking of this, somehow, Rebecca Quentin gently touched her own belly...

"Miss Quentin, you’re here..."

A call interrupted Rebecca Quentin’s thoughts.

Rebecca Quentin quickly put down her hand from her belly and turned around.

The Leonard family’s servant respectfully said, "Miss Quentin, our hostess is looking for you..."

Rebecca Quentin smiled lightly, "I’ll go over right away."

It was four-thirty in the afternoon.

Cars of the same color, the same model, equally expensive, drove toward the church...

Roger Leonard and Isabella Joanna were in the lead car as the newlyweds, while Rebecca Quentin was in a car behind...

The cars hadn’t reached the church yet, and the journalists who had been waiting outside the church were already swarming.

Rebecca Quentin was startled by such a sight...

Fortunately, the security personnel on site immediately blocked those journalists, keeping them five meters away from the cars.

Roger Leonard and Isabella Joanna got out of the car...

The flashlights in the hands of the journalists started flashing continuously, blinding people’s eyes.

Rebecca Quentin also got out of the car, but given that Roger Leonard and Isabella Joanna had already become the focus, she didn’t walk toward them.

Roger Leonard and Isabella Joanna then entered the church under the protection of security...

Compared to the radiant newlyweds, Rebecca Quentin, though carefully dressed, was much dimmer, and it seemed no one noticed her.

However, this was exactly the feeling Rebecca Quentin liked...

Before coming here, Rebecca Quentin had already told Isabella Joanna not to mind her, that she would enter the church quietly to watch the ceremony...

Isabella Joanna naturally understood that Rebecca Quentin didn’t want to attract the journalists’ attention, so at that moment, she and Roger Leonard did not greet Rebecca Quentin and went directly into the church.

Everyone present, including the journalists, followed Roger Leonard and Isabella Joanna into the church, while Rebecca Quentin quietly followed behind.

The newlyweds entered the church, and the wedding ceremony was about to begin...

When Rebecca Quentin entered the church, the seats were almost filled, so she found a relatively sparse corner to sit and quietly observe the ceremony.

The officiant announced that the wedding ceremony was about to begin...

But at this moment, there was quite a commotion at the entrance of the church.

Rebecca Quentin instinctively looked over...

Who would have thought that a mere glance would stir her heart.

The commotion was caused by the arrival of one person...

Yes, it was Howard Geoffrey!

Even at Roger Leonard’s wedding, he was still such a noticeable figure.

Through the crowd, she could still clearly see him wearing an exquisite dark suit today, with his hairstyle apparently styled, looking dashingly handsome from afar, and even with his attempt to keep a low profile, it was hard to hide his innate grace. Yet, what held Rebecca Quentin’s gaze was Alice Robinson beside Howard Geoffrey, wearing a white dress and not deliberately concealing her slightly rounded belly.

Howard Geoffrey and Alice Robinson did not steal the spotlight but found a nearby seat to sit and quietly observe the ceremony.

But with Howard Geoffrey’s status, how could he remain low-key?

The journalists blocked outside the church, while filming the wedding, were also capturing intimate moments of Howard Geoffrey and Alice Robinson.

Rebecca Quentin’s gaze lingered for a few seconds, but she didn’t dwell on it; instead, she slowly shifted her focus back to Roger Leonard, who had already taken Isabella Joanna’s hand from her father.

Rebecca Quentin’s thoughts drifted, time was slowly passing by, and her seemingly blank mind only registered hearing the pastor announce the wedding vows...

"Mr. Roger Leonard, do you take Miss Isabella Joanna to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do."

"Miss Isabella Joanna, do you..."

In a lifetime, to have such a wedding, is probably every girl’s dream, isn’t it?

The groom and bride were already exchanging rings on stage, followed by a sweet kiss...

Watching such a beautiful scene, Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but be enchanted.

She suddenly thought of her wedding with Howard Geoffrey seven years ago...

It was also grand back then, though it was held in a hotel, which wasn’t as romantic and warm as in a church. She was quite naive at the time and didn’t remember any vows during the wedding. The only image she recalled was the serious moment when he put the wedding ring on her hand, making her heart flutter for the first time.

Applause resounded throughout the church, and everyone stood up...

Rebecca Quentin continued to smile at them, always silently blessing them in her heart.

Very soon, it was time for the bride to throw the bouquet...

Outside the church, all the unmarried women were eagerly anticipating...
