“Thinking back to the day you were born, twenty-three years had passed since then…”
Mrs. Berry smiled with tears in her eyes and lamented in a choking voice.
“Time passes really fast. Before I even realize it, you have already grown up. Now, you’re about to get
married and even have three adorable children. All this while, everything felt just like a dream. There
were both happy and sad memories but everything has come full circle now.”
She continued, “Miss, I have always worried that I am going to fail to take good care of you or cause you
to suffer. If that happened, I will not be able to face your father in the afterlife. But now, I can proudly
declare to him that I have fulfilled my responsibility.”
Mrs. Berry added, “Miss, Mr. Zachary is a good man. He loves both you and the children a lot. Hence,
I’m sure both of you will lead a happy life…”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Charlotte nodded repeatedly with tears welling up in her eyes. Nevertheless, she was smiling with
blissful joy.
She strongly believed that she will find happiness.
“Wait, what’s that sound?” Hayley suddenly turned back to look.
“What?” Olivia turned around and saw a few shadows flash before her. Feeling unsettled, she asked
Bruce anxiously, “Bruce, did you see them?”
“Shh…” Bruce shushed her so as to not alarm Charlotte unnecessarily.
He had of course seen them and used his watch to alert Ben and the other bodyguards. The Nacht
family bodyguards were all well-trained and prepared for action. They were not going to allow anyone to
disrupt the wedding.”
Olivia nodded and didn’t say another word.
Nevertheless, she was still terrified as she couldn’t help but tremble.
“Don’t be afraid. We’re here to protect you,” Bruce reminded her softly.
“Mmm-hmm.” It did make sense to her. After all, the Nacht family bodyguards were all well-trained elites
and they had put the wedding under tight security measures. Hence, they would be fine.
As Hayley was a simple girl, she was quickly reassured by Bruce’s words and didn’t give it too much
thought.
“Miss, I’m fat and have short legs. Hence, I’m worried I may not be able to catch up. So, please slow
down or I may trip on your wedding gown.”
Mrs. Berry was still fussing about the entrance and discussed her concerns with Charlotte.
“I understand.” Charlotte smiled.
“Miss, if I cry, you have to pinch me. I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of others.”
“Pfft, how can I do that? If you feel like crying, just do so. It’s not embarrassing at all.”
“Miss, do you think I look good in this outfit? I think it makes me look fat.”
“No, it’s fine. In fact, you look thinner.”
“Really?”
“Really…”
As both of them continued to chat, they quickly forgot how nervous they were. Before they knew it, they
had arrived at the entrance of the grand hall.
When the lady attendant by the door opened it, light flooded toward them, as if all the spotlights in the
hall were trained on her.
At that very moment, Charlotte emerged in the grand hall just like an angel who had descended from
Heaven, mesmerizing everyone inside.
Everyone’s attention was focused on her.
Many members of the Nacht family were wondering how an ordinary girl had managed to capture
Zachary’s heart as he was famous for being as cold as an iceberg.
The moment they saw how stunning Charlotte was, all their doubts were laid to rest.
Seated on another side were Jeffrey and a group of Richard’s old hands. There were also distant
relatives of the Windt family in attendance.
These relatives had not kicked the Windt family when they were down. However, they couldn’t help much
either due to their limited capabilities. Nevertheless, they had always shown their concern for Charlotte
discreetly through Mrs. Berry and Jeffrey.
Hence, they earned their right to be invited to the wedding.
At that moment, when they saw Charlotte in all her glory, they couldn’t help but tear. All of them were
heartened by the fact that Richard would be proud if he was there.
Jeffrey in particular was moved to tears. Despite having misgivings about the Nacht family initially, his
doubts were laid to rest. With the knowledge that Charlotte had found her man, he felt truly happy for her.
