At night, Stella and Sherry lay in the hotel bed, neither of them able to sleep.
Sherry lamented, "How long has it been since we slept together like this."
Stella couldn't help but worry a little about the kids at home, and opened her mouth not knowing what
she said, "Yeah, the last time we did this was the last time."
Sherry wanted to roll her eyes.
When did she start to spew nonsense like this now?
Sherry suddenly rolled over and propped her elbows on the pillow, "Stella, let's have a drink."
Hearing this, Stella put her mind back to now, "I'm breastfeeding, and I can't drink."
"Right or..." Sherry looked very exciting, "Then I'll drink while you watch."
Stella replied, "You're too nervous, relax a little. And think about it, what if you drink too much and can't
get up tomorrow."
Sherry thought she had a point and lay back down, hands clasped under the covers, and let out a long
breath, "I never thought I'd be getting married tomorrow, it feels like a dream."
Stella laughed, "I also did not expect that in the end, you would become my sister-in-law."
The two just chatted with each other.
Didn't know how long had passed, but Stella's phone on the bedside table vibrated twice.
She reached out and picked it up, tapping on the videos Clarence had sent her, and the corners of her
lips couldn't help but lift up.
The first video was of the twins in Dolores' room, sleeping soundly.
The second video was of Noah lying next to Clarence, sticking up his little buttock, sleeping on his side,
half of his face buried in the pillow.
Stella zoomed in on the video and found that Noah's eyelashes were still wet as if he had fallen asleep
after crying.
Stella sent a message to Clarence: Did you bully him?
Clarence replied quickly, He wouldn't sleep with me, so I beat him up and he relented.
Stella: ...
Clarence was only saying it, he wouldn't really beat Noah, and he would only intimidate him at most.
Sherry saw her holding her phone and smiling there, and she knew without thinking, "Is it from your Mr.
Conrad?"
Stella hastily put away the phone and said seriously, "He sent me videos of the children, all asleep."
Sherry was relieved to hear that, because not only was Stella worried that night, but she was also on
edge.
Stella said, "It's late, we have to get up at four tomorrow, go to sleep."
Sherry nodded, "Good night."
After a while, however, Sherry whispered, "Stella, are you asleep..."
Stella said, "No."
Couldn't sleep at all.
Sherry exhaled, and then the two began another round of conversation.
It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door, "Sherry, it's time to get up."
It was Sherry's Mom's voice.
Sherry sat up sharply and looked at the time on her phone; it was still a few minutes before four.
She had guessed this would happen.
Stella also lifted the covers and sat up, feeling dizzy, yawning and saying to Sherry, "Go ahead and
take a shower, I'll get the door."
Sherry answered and went straight to the bathroom.
Stella pulled open the door to the room, Sherry's mother and the female elders of the family as well as
the makeup artist had arrived.
They greeted each other and began to make preparations.
Sherry's Mom was rushing Sherry, "Hurry up. They're all waiting for you."
Sherry came out of the bathroom in a hurry and muttered, "It's still early, don't rush me, I'm dizzy."
Sherry's Mom tapped her on the shoulder, "Have you not slept, I told you to..."
"Okay, okay." Sherry said to Stella, "Stella, have you seen my phone, I'll call Doreen."
Doreen was her childhood friend and her maid of honor, but had been out of town for business a while
ago, and could only get back early this morning at the earliest.
She's probably already off the plane by now.
Stella said, "You go ahead and put on your makeup, I'll call."
Just as her words fell, Doreen appeared at the hotel door, gasping, "I'm not too late, am I?"
Sherry's Mom rushed to pick her up, "Not too late, not too late, just in time."
Throughout the morning, Sherry was muddled and felt like she was a puppet all the time, from makeup
to changing her wedding dress.
At 9,30, the doorbell rang.
The group thought Daniel had arrived and ran to open the door, only to see standing outside, a man
with one hand holding a child and little expression on his face.
Sherry's relatives had never seen Clarence before and instantly thought of drama.
The expressions on everyone's faces were colorful.
Stella heard the commotion and came over. When she saw Clarence, the corners of her mouth
twitched and she pulled him in, "What are you doing here so early."
Clarence said, "Ask your son."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Noah in his arms reached out his hand towards Stella, "Mom…"
Stella's heart melted when she saw his little face, and she quickly picked him up, "Baby, is daddy
bullying you again."
Noah nodded heavily and wrapped his arms tightly around Stella's neck, unable to let go.
At this time, Dolores also came in with two sisters in the stroller.
The group of relatives saw this and all dispersed.
When the two sisters saw Stella, they also wailed twice to show that they missed her.
It was time for them to be fed.
Stella tucked Noah into Clarence's arms, carried his two sisters, and went to the bedroom inside.
Noah was back in his dad's arms and the two looked at each other.
Clarence whispered, "Well done."
Noah sighed and leaned his head crookedly against his chest.
At that moment, the doorbell rang again.
The crowd opened the door and looked outside for another moment of silence.
Winnie was a little startled by their look, "Is this... a bad time for me to come?"
Some relatives recognized her, "This is... that actress, right?"
So Winnie was again pulled by a group of relatives and elders to take pictures.
Sherry sat not far away, secured in a chair by the make-up artist, and threw a smile at her, indicating
that there was nothing she could do.
It wasn't long before Stella came out after feeding the twins.
She looked around, "Isn't Daniel here yet."
Clarence, holding the baby, spoke slowly, "Probably doesn't want to come."
Stella gave him a punch, "You'd better not talk today."
In the middle of the buzz, the doorbell rang a third time.
This time, it was finally Daniel who came.
He was wearing a formal suit, and bow tie, holding a bouquet of flowers, and his face was full of smiles
as he walked toward Sherry.
Stella looked at this scene, just wanting to take out her phone to take a picture, but suddenly her world
went black.
She could smell the familiar scent.
Stella raised her hand to pull him away while turning her head, "What are you doing?"
Clarence still blocking her sight, "Don't look, or it would ruin the surprise later."
Stella thought it was funny, but knew that he was uncomfortable in his heart, so she did not pull his
hand away.
So, she listened to the whole process of Daniel coming to pick up the bride.
