anwhile, Julia was humming a song while getting ready to leave the house. Today, she planned to just roam around the city and look for the best places she could purchase. Initially, she wanted to babysit the triplets but Cayenne said she brought the kids to her friend's wedding, and she wasn't invited to this wedding even though she was Stefan's cousin.
Not that she minded about it, but she was really amazed that Cayenne thought of bringing her kids to a huge ceremony where they could misbehave anyti.
It was just her misunderstanding though. Cayenne and Stefan did bring their kids to the wedding but they were staying inside the hotel room reserved for them with the nannies and bodyguards looking after them.
Rey was even there playing with Aziel.
If anyone would dare lay their hand on the kids, they would surely never see the daylight tomorrow morning.

Two hours later, Julia was traveling in the countryside as she noted the places with a lot for sale. She saved quite a lot from her business and so of the belongings that she sold. It was ti for her to use her money on sothing. She didn't need a huge place. It wasn't like she would live there. She only wanted a place to stay when she felt bored in the city.
After checking so of the properties for sale, she called the contact numbers one by one to talk to them and ask about the lot price. Since the properties were in the countryside, it wasn't very expensive compared to the space in the middle of the capital.
Once she finished talking to about seven people, she marked three of the contacts which she wanted to et in person. She hoped she could make a deal with one of them at a lesser price.
At the sa ti, Elliot was monitoring Julia's conversation through a hidden recording device on her seat. When he heard the words coming out of her mouth, Elliot couldn't stop wondering why she wanted to buy a small property in the countryside.
He noted all the locations that she talked about with the people over the phone and kept the list inside his drawer. He had no idea what Julia was up to, but whether she wanted to do sothing good or not, Elliot wanted to make sure that he kept her on the leash.
If not, he could lose Celestine and his life.

Back to the wedding, the ceremony was over and people were currently at the reception for the party. The bride and the groom were both stunning in their own way, and so people were even wondering if Chris could work as a model with his face.
"I'm so happy that you finally tied the knot," Cayenne said and hugged Rissy. "I owe you a lot for everything that you have done for my brother."
"And I'm glad I was able to guide him because he never forgot to be kind to others as well. You've raised your brothers really well."
Before Cayenne could say sothing else, the party host called the bride and the groom to go back to their seats to receive the blessing and well-wishes of many people.
Rissy excused herself for a mont and t with Chris halfway down the red carpet before taking his hand and going to their seats.
The first person to give a ssage was Rissy's father. It was a very heart-touching mont after he confessed how grateful he was for having Chris as his son-in-law. Even though Chris didn't know Rissy that much when the biggest tragedy of her life happened, instead of taking a step back, Chris pushed forward and stayed by her side.
He never gave up on her even when Rissy gave up on herself already. As a father, he only wished for his daughter to be happy and he saw it in her eyes when Chris ca into her life.
"I never thought that he would ever fall in love," Elena said while sitting beside Cayenne. "In the past, I did everything I could to get his attention, and it was not like he didn't know about my feelings, but he pretended not to know anything because he knew he couldn't love back.
I really thought he was just a cold-hearted man who knows nothing about love because of what happened to his family."
"I'd rather not hear you say anything about your feelings for him," Tristan comnted with a fake smile on his face. "I feel jealous, too."
"It was in the past," Elena retorted and kissed his cheek. "I'm happy that he is with soone else now. At least, I know that he can also love, but not to . It only proves that what he can give was sothing I found in you."
"Then, shall we get married, too?"
"Is it the wedding month now?" Cayenne blurted out because she had received so many wedding invitations from several people that she was close to. Almost half of the events that she needed to attend this month were wedding ceremonies.
She didn't know why but it was like the couples she knew felt their love the most in this month and decided to the knot with their partners.
Not that she minded. In fact, she was happy to know that amidst all the terrible events and obstacles, her friends were able to co through it and keep their relationships strong. Though, so were not able to do so and broke up.
[Well, that's how life is. I just hope they'll find their happiness, too.] Cayenne thought while thinking about the people she cared about.
A few minutes later, Cayenne received a ssage from Julia. The latter was asking about the ti the ceremony would end and if she could play with the triplets for a little bit.
Sohow, Cayenne didn't feel anything strange from the ssage. After all, Julia had been trying her best to make it up to her and never said anything malicious even when it was so obvious that she was being avoided.
Noticing her silence, Stefan pulled his chair closer to her and intertwined their fingers. "What's the matter, hon?" he asked in a whisper to keep the matter to themselves.
"Julia asked when would the ceremony ends and if she could play with the kids for a little bit."
"So, do you want her to co over to our house?
"Honestly, I am not confident with her inside our house yet. Can't we invite her to stay over here in the resort? She could play with the kids here."
"O-okay. You can decide wherever you wanted her to co. I'll be with you all the ti."
After coming to an agreent, Cayenne replied to Julia's ssage and invited her to stay in the resort for a couple of days with them. She even told her to bring Celestine as well so they could take this chance as a little reunion.
Seeing the reply, Julia smiled faintly. [At least, they're allowing us now to see the children.] She thought to herself while dialing her mother's number to give her a call.
