Chapter 1431
Edith did not look very pleased too. "Wenham is not this careless. Let's go inside and see what this is about."
Wilfred scoffed. "It still wouldn't change the fact that he's foolish!"
Daryl chimed in, "Dad, the venue is already booked anyway. Let's go inside first."
Katherine added, "Dad, it's a joyous day today. Let's not find fault among our own family."
Wilfred only reluctantly let go of his frustration after his children soothed him. Then, they headed toward the hotel.
Wenham and Darcie had also arrived.
Wenham was also very dissatisfied with the venue chosen and questioned Darcie, "Why did you book this one?"
Darcie explained, "I wanted to pick a better one, but Stella insisted on this hotel. I know this banquet was organized
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor her, so I respect her choices and follow her decisions."
Wenham's brows were furrowed. Then, he kept quiet after knowing that it was Stella's decision.
Indeed, it was important to respect Stella's choices. But the hotel was simply not up to Wenham's standards.
Wilfred and Edith came inside as they were speaking.
Wenham immediately approached them. "Dad, mom, you're here."
"Hmph!" Wilfred scoffed and looked away from him,
Edith remained expressionless as she said warmly, "Is everything set?"
"Yeah," Wenham replied.
Edith continued, "Wenham, Stella is not only your child but also the beloved granddaughter of the Hall family. You're
her father, and it's only right for you to lead the ceremony. However, don't make Stella feel neglected no matter
what."
Wenham responded sincerely, "I won't, Mom."
As soon as he said that, a voice rang out, "The rain is so heavy out there. The Saun family really picked an
inauspicious day for the occasion."
Molly shook off the raindrops from her body and complained, "Your newly recognized daughter seems to bring bad
luck to your family. After so many rainless days, it just had to pour on the day of today's ceremony. Even my shoes
are soaked."
These words darkened the expressions of the elders there.
At that time, another voice chimed in, "Ms. Moore, don't be too quick to judge. It's not inauspicious, but it's an
incredibly auspicious day. Do you know how many people are queuing up for marriage in the Civil Affairs Bureau
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmoffice today?
Everyone knows today is a great day. Look, it's raining so heavily, yet there’s no wind at all. Isn't this a rare sight?
This is a sign of good luck!"
Olivia smiled faintly and quickly turned the conversation around. Nobody would want to hear such discouraging
words on a joyous occasion like that.
Only then did Molly realize that the Hall family members were there. Then, she greeted them politely.
Wilfred and Edith nodded and ignored what she said, not wanting to argue with a young lady.
However, Daryl did not share the same patience as he said coldly, "Ms. Moore, have you heard the saying if you do
not have anything nice to say, it's better to just keep your mouth shut?"
Molly was taken aback. The look on her face turned ugly instantly.
But Daryl was older than her. It would be impolite for her to talk back, so she just swallowed her anger silently.
Darcie spoke up, "Jaylene, please take Ms. Moore upstairs to rest. Bring her back down when the banquet starts."
"Okay," Jaylene said and did as was told.
A while later, Stella arrived at the hotel.
