Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband
Chapter 900: You Look So Beautiful Today
CHAPTER 900: CHAPTER 900: YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL TODAY
Sean Dawson was stunned and didn’t quite grasp it, "What, Mr. Rathborne came to attend his daughter’s wedding? I haven’t heard of another wedding happening here. What’s Mr. Rathborne’s daughter’s name?"
Julian Rathborne, "My daughter Serena Sterling, son-in-law Hayden Crawford."
"..."
Sean Dawson gasped, his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg. His stepdaughter seemed to be called Serena Sterling too, and her son-in-law was the top mogul Hayden Crawford...
At this moment, Seraphina Linden, who had been silent, coughed twice, "Let me introduce, my daughter’s biological dad Julian Rathborne, my... current husband... Sean Dawson."
Oh my.
Sean Dawson looked at Julian Rathborne and then at Seraphina Linden, "He... he... he... you... you... you..."
Just then, Julian Rathborne shot a cold look at Seraphina Linden and walked away swiftly.
...
Hayden Crawford knew his in-laws were arriving in style, so he was already at the door to welcome them.
At that moment, Julian Rathborne’s dignified figure entered his view, Hayden Crawford instantly switched to sidekick mode, enthusiastically running up to his father-in-law, "Dad, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you!"
This call of "Dad" made Julian Rathborne look up. He saw Hayden Crawford looking very spirited and furrowed his handsome brows, "You seem quite happy."
"Of course, Dad! I’m getting married today, of course, I’m happy. I can’t go around with a long face like someone who’s heartbroken, as if the world owes him billions."
Cough.
Cough cough.
Just as Hayden Crawford finished speaking, the driver behind Julian Rathborne coughed heavily, winking repeatedly at Hayden Crawford.
What does this mean?
Hayden Crawford was stunned, then looked at Julian Rathborne, and now Julian Rathborne’s handsome face... wasn’t it like he was owed billions?
Hayden Crawford, "..." Great, buttered up the wrong person.
"Dad!"
Dad Julian Rathborne had already lost interest in dealing with this son-in-law and quickly disappeared from view.
...
Julian Rathborne entered the luxurious room, took off his black thin wool coat, and stood silently by the floor-to-ceiling window, lighting a cigarette.
He rarely smoked, but now he desperately needed the taste of nicotine to suppress the gloomy aggression inside him.
She actually got married!
He knew he shouldn’t expect anything from her, but... so many years had passed, and he had been waiting in place for her all along.
He had never forgotten her even for a day, that night, that pleasure, he had reminisced about it for half his life.
Even though he mistakenly married Yvonne Knight, he hadn’t touched Yvonne Knight at all.
But her?
Perhaps to her, he really was just a tool to have a child, a one-time fling!
Her husband was someone like Sean Dawson. She really should get her eyes checked. If he lost to a man better than him, of course, the possibility is almost zero, he’d let it go, but she actually married such a worthless person.
Julian Rathborne really didn’t know where he lost. Thinking of Sean Dawson’s greasy "darling" and "pet wife," his handsome eyebrows sank to the bottom. They’re a couple, had she also once... indulged under Sean Dawson?
Whenever he thought of these things, Julian Rathborne now wished he could rush out, make Sean Dawson disappear, and grab her to teach her a lesson, so she’d know how formidable he was!
Julian Rathborne agitatedly smoked; he didn’t know what was wrong with him. His emotions were always swayed by that woman Seraphina Linden.
Admit it, he liked her.
If asked how much he liked her, well... he liked her very much, very much.
Now the suffocating aggression in his chest and his restlessness were all because he... was heartbroken. Julian Rathborne found himself laughable. He had been distant from women all his life, not interested in the biological kind, what a late bloomer, and now in middle age, he actually fell for a woman, oh wait, for a married woman, and yes, he was heartbroken.
Julian Rathborne rubbed his handsome brows for the first time feeling a sense of failure; he actually stumbled over Seraphina Linden.
At this moment, there was a "knock-knock," and a private secretary respectfully spoke outside the door, "President, the wedding of Miss and son-in-law has officially started."
...
Hayden Crawford and Serena Sterling’s wedding officially began amid the blasts of fireworks and confetti ribbons, Hayden Crawford rushed into the bridal waiting room with people.
But, Hayden Crawford did not see his bride.
"Da-da-da-da," Seraphina Linden appeared at this moment, "Groom, the bride is here, quickly take your bride away!"
Seraphina Linden reached out and pulled back the curtain behind her, revealing eight brides.
The eight brides wore the same wedding dress, had white veils on their heads, and even their figures were quite similar, making it dazzling to distinguish which one was the real bride of the day.
Seraphina Linden looked at her son-in-law, "Groom, you should choose wisely, don’t make the wrong choice. The consequences of choosing wrong are very serious."
The crowd burst into laughter, "Mr. Crawford, your mother-in-law has spoken, if you choose wrong today, you might not get to take the bride away."
Hayden Crawford raised a handsome brow and strode forward, arriving straight in front of one bride, then extended his big hand to hold that soft little hand.
"Groom, have you chosen well?"
Hayden Crawford nodded, "Yes, it’s this one!"
"Alright, then you can lift the bride’s veil and have a look."
Hayden Crawford raised his hand and slowly unveiled the bride’s veil.
Wow~
A gasp erupted at his ears.
Serena Sterling’s palm-sized face came into view. Today she had light makeup on, her already delicate and unblemished face now even more dazzling, with pure black hair styled expertly for him, adorned with a small crown that sparkled brilliantly, truly the most beautiful bride.
Hayden Crawford picked correctly.
Hayden Crawford’s gaze lingered on Serena Sterling’s petite face, seemingly unable to move, staring raptly, then lowered his head, wanting to kiss her red lips.
"Hey, Mr. Crawford, what are you doing!" The whole room erupted in laughter.
Everyone raised a clamor, "Mr. Crawford, we only told you to unveil the veil and look at the bride, we didn’t say you could kiss her."
"Mr. Crawford, it’s not yet the part where you kiss the bride."
"Mr. Crawford, you were so absorbed in looking at the bride just now, are you eager to go ahead? We’re all still here."
Amidst everyone’s teasing, Serena Sterling’s face turned bright red, she coyly glanced at Hayden Crawford, embarrassing him.
Hayden Crawford, being a groom for the first time, was quite nervous and inexperienced. He tightly held Serena Sterling’s soft delicate hand in his palm and said softly and lovingly, "Serena, you look beautiful today."
Serena Sterling sweetly curled her red lips, for his "You’re beautiful" and even more for him finding her at once in the sea of people.
