Chapter 644
Anastasia was flustered as the wedding banquet was about to begin. While she was trying to calm herself down, she
heard someone knocking on the door. The door was pushed open and Elliot walked in. He had changed into a black
suit embellished with golden threads, and the waistcoat he wore underneath was exceptionally intricate and
structured, which went well with his prominent and good–looking features.
Anastasia raised her gaze and checked him out. Her long–lashed eyes blinked as she was trying to ingrain how
dashing he looked today into her memory.
On the other hand, he was amazed at how stunning she looked. Dressed in the maroon gown, she looked pure like
she had always been.
“Let‘s go.” Elliot stretched his hand out to take his. In the end, the both of them walked toward the main hall with
interlocked fingers. As they stepped into the hall, the holographic lights lit up on cue, which instantly transformed
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe hall and gave it an exuberant vibe fitting for a wedding banquet. Through the lens of the photographer, a
couple who was very much in love walked in while holding hands.
Although they had been through so much together, their love for each other was stronger than ever.
All of the guests turned their attention to the newlyweds. Katrina was jealous as she looked at how stunning
Anastasia looked in the gown and in the wedding dress she wore earlier. Mason, who was seated next to Katrina,
was quiet and had two more glasses of wine. He recounted how young and delicate Anastasia looked five years
ago, compared to how breathtaking she looked now. It was as if she had transformed into a red rose that had
bloomed under the sun.
With her head held high, Anastasia smiled as she was showered with well wishes. Her gaze unintentionally fell on a
woman who had her attention on Elliot. When she noticed that Anastasia was looking at her, the woman‘s eyes
flickered with panic but met Anastasia‘s gaze and smiled at her the next second. It was none other than Lorelai
Presgrave.
Even so, Anastasia maintained her smile and merely made a mental note on what she had observed since a
woman‘s intuition was remarkable and she trusted her intuition. However, today was an exceptional day where she
wouldn‘t keep her guard up. Elliot made her feel secure, and no one would be able to take away the blissful feeling
that she had.
When they arrived at Harriet‘s table, Elliot shot a look at Arthur and he immediately raised his glass after receiving
the cue. Seeing that, Harriet stood up and officiated the banquet. She had been so overjoyed today that her doctor
was on standby the whole day. However, her condition had been stable as she had no rapid shifts in mood. She
asked the photographer to take pictures of them and especially requested for a few pictures to be taken with
Anastasia as she had her arms around Anastasia. It was probably because she wanted to leave a trace since she
was growing old so that she would be remembered even if she passed on.
“Child, you should eat more since you might not have time to do so when you receive the guests,” Harriet told
Anastasia.
“Alright, Grandma.” Anastasia nodded and started eating elegantly.

“In a short while, I will get Brenda and Jonathan to accompany you as you receive the guests.”
“Don‘t worry, Mom. We will be by their side,” Brenda replied as she smiled at her husband.
“Elliot, don‘t worry, I can drink on your behalf if the guests make you drink, since I can hold my alcohol.” Jonathan
laughed.
“Thank you, Jonathan.” Elliot laughed too.
After that, Elliot held Anastasia‘s hand as they walked over to one of the tables where the Presgraves were seated.
She noticed two of the elders who were prominent within the Presgrave Family.
“The bride looks beautiful! Elliot, you are really blessed!”
“Thank you, Granduncle Henry.”
“Congratulations to the both of you.”
Subsequently, the duo walked to the other tables to mingle with the guests. The guests were lucky because they
were able to see Elliot smiling throughout the banquet. Before this, even the elders of the Presgrave Family feared
Elliot, but today, he was all smiles as he glowed from within.
