The two of them didn’t stay together that day.
Silas Hawthorne had already bought a villa nearby, under Serena Sterling’s na, to serve as her family’s residence on the day she got married.
Serena’s family mbers were all at this small villa.
When the ti cos, Silas Hawthorne will bring the groomsn to pick up the bride.
Bianca Lynch, June Hawthorne, and Gigi Sutton were the bridesmaids.
This Aeston had already beco lively.
Silas Hawthorne planned a grand three-day celebration.
Normally, Hawthorne Jewelry doesn’t discount much, but within these three days, custors who went to the store to leave blessings for Serena and Silas could purchase at a discount.
The entire Aeston was decorated and filled with a festive atmosphere.
Many shops were either playing Serena’s songs or the wedding march.
It was extrely lively.
And online, people were gossiping about this event a lot.
"Did you see? Serena and Silas’s wedding is so grand! You can’t even tell it’s Serena’s second marriage! So many first marriages aren’t this extravagant!"
"Not to ntion ordinary people’s first marriages, many wealthy heiresses don’t even have sothing this lavish. I heard Silas is personally involved in every detail; he’s planning to give Serena a wedding of the century!"
"It’s not just that. Recently, I don’t know what’s being tested in the vicinity, but I’ve seen Orion Hawthorne frequently shouting about sothing. It might get even more lively then!"
"I don’t care if it’s lively. I just took the opportunity to buy so jewelry—aweso!"
...
"Haha, has ti passed this quickly? Serena and Silas are already having their wedding. I rember she and Julian Lawson divorced not too long ago, right?"
"Speaking of which, what’s Julian Lawson up to now?"
...
It’s not just online where people are gossiping; many are gossiping in real life too.
That day, many people deliberately passed by Julian Lawson’s office floor, peeking around curiously.
You should know, this floor is the executive office; typically, no one would co by without reason.
And as soon as Jude Chaucer and the rest of the secretarial staff ca out, they were surrounded and questioned incessantly.
Jude Chaucer, being the secretary directly responsible for Julian Lawson’s various affairs, was also pulled in for questioning.
The person who pulled him aside was Isla Lawson.
Recently, Isla Lawson’s status had improved a little; she worked honestly and even had so small achievents. Plus, the major gossip had shifted to Julian Lawson, so not many people talked about her anymore.
"What’s up with my brother?" Isla Lawson cornered Jude Chaucer in a small cubicle and asked.
Jude Chaucer looked troubled.
"Miss Isla, you shouldn’t do this. If soone sees us, they’ll start rumors about us." Jude Chaucer said.
"Don’t try to provoke on purpose." Isla Lawson warned, pointing a finger, "I’m not the sa Isla Lawson as before; I don’t get angry that easily."
Xander Linton had co to Aeston a few days early, and they had dinner together last night.
As Serena said, she didn’t expect too much and laid everything on the table, telling Xander what she had done.
Xander, although speechless, finally they cleared up the misunderstanding and could interact normally afterward.
Why was Isla Lawson so sure?
Because what Xander said was quite cutting.
He said, "I told you not to ss with her. The one to suffer in the end is definitely you."
This left her without a retort.
And she saw another side of Xander Linton.
"Aren’t you the sa?" Isla Lawson retorted without backing down, rolling her eyes, "The gamble in Frelia, didn’t you lose horribly? Unlucky guy!"
"Alright, we’re both unlucky." Xander shrugged and then extended his right hand.
Isla Lawson looked at his hand for several seconds, then smiled and shook it.
In the small cubicle, Isla Lawson snapped out of her mories and stared at Jude Chaucer: "Does my brother have any plans?"
"Miss Isla, I don’t know." Jude Chaucer replied helplessly.
He really didn’t know.
To be honest, recently, Julian Lawson had been utterly elusive.
Apart from normal office hours, no one knew where he went at other tis.
"My brother didn’t reveal anything to you?" Isla Lawson squinted dangerously, glaring sharply at Jude Chaucer.
"Really, I swear." Jude Chaucer held up three fingers.
Isla Lawson stared at Jude Chaucer, who didn’t look like he was lying, and beca even more puzzled.
Isla Lawson loosened her grip, and Jude Chaucer hurriedly ran off.
After sneaking off a considerable distance, Jude Chaucer stopped.
He glanced strangely at the executive office beside him. Julian Lawson was still working normally, acting like nothing was wrong.
And he rembered the night he dropped Julian Lawson off at the apartnt, where Ian Yates was waiting downstairs.
Could it be that Ian Yates said sothing to Julian Lawson?
...
In the online video of the big shots.
Everyone was discussing their own matters.
Clara Huxley looked cheerful and bright.
"Clara, Serena and Silas are getting married tomorrow. So when will they have a grandson or granddaughter?" Soone teased.
Clara Huxley smiled and suddenly pulled soone into the fra.
Then Seraphina appeared in the video call.
"Hello, great-grandpas and great-grandmas! I’m Seraphina!" Seraphina smiled sweetly, showing eight teeth, and said, "Serena and Silas’s daughter."
Clara Huxley kissed Seraphina’s cheek boastfully, "See? My granddaughter."
After saying that, Clara Huxley let Seraphina go out to play.
These days, Seraphina didn’t have any lessons and was playing wildly.
After watching Seraphina run away, Clara Huxley told everyone, "I already have a granddaughter, so please don’t rush them at the wedding tomorrow."
The person who teased earlier realized their faux pas and quickly repeated that they wouldn’t rush them.
Everyone had heard about Serena’s health issues possibly affecting her ability to have children.
Then they all said how adorable Seraphina was.
Except there were no Lawsons among them.
Frankly, Caleb Lawson didn’t dare to log in online, and Chaucer relayed the online updates to him.
"All us old friends will be coming over, so we’ll have a gathering." Chaucer told Caleb Lawson, "What are the Lawsons planning?"
Caleb Lawson huffed and glared.
What could they plan?
Carry on as usual, go to work, take breaks!
After putting down the phone, Caleb Lawson looked at his wife.
The old lady sighed deeply as she sat nearby.
"It reminded of Serena and Julian’s wedding." The old lady reminisced.
At that ti, Caleb Lawson was bedridden, waiting for Serena and Julian’s marriage to bring good fortune, so he wasn’t aware.
The old lady didn’t speak, just lost in her mories.
After an unknown amount of ti, the old lady suddenly said, "Serena’s marrying that Hawthorne boy, but what about Julian?"
Even the normally decisive Caleb Lawson was at a loss for words.
Finally, Caleb Lawson said, "Why don’t you call Julian and ask him to co ho for dinner tonight?"
The old lady nodded, "Alright."
