The wedding day started with the makeup artist arriving early in the morning before dawn. All the photographers were in position too. Madelyn sat at the dressing table, allowing the makeup artist to put makeup on her for almost an hour.The makeup artist said, "Mrs. Jardin, if I may ask, how do you take care of your skin? It looks so good."Madelyn looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was smooth and flawless, and her lips were red. She wore a bridal crown and a veil. Each intricate pattern was embroidered with silver threads on her beautiful white wedding gown. Many present envied her.Madelyn's expectations and joy for her wedding were far from what she felt now—numbness. Zach's choice of wedding dress for her remained the same as in her past life.However, in her past life, Zach and Madelyn did not have a wedding ceremony. They only had a marriage certificate to prove that she was his wife.In her past life, she only wore a simple dress at their small engagement party. It w
Madelyn lowered her head, and a tear fell onto the back of her hand. Her voice choked with emotion, "This painting probably took Prof. Monet a lot of effort."Kennedy responded, "He said many people in this world live for others. But this time, both Grandpa and I hope that you can live for yourself."Compared to being trapped in a marriage, you're more suited to enjoy freedom."If you want to leave..."Madelyn looked up, her eyes slightly dry, and shook her head, "Kennedy, I can't leave anymore."There was a long silence after that.Mya entered the room with snacks in her arms, "Madelyn, look at the delicious snacks I found for you."Looking at the snacks scattered on the bed, Madelyn thought, 'These were all my favorites once.'She asked, "Where did you find all this?"Mya pointed to the door, "In your painting room. There's a cabinet with lots of snacks inside."Madelyn pondered, 'Did Zach prepare these for me? Why have I never noticed them?'Margaret entered the room to c
Blake whispered, "Whether you decide to leave or not, I just hope you'll be well."Madelyn responded, "Thank you."Blake thought, 'When that happens, I might really have to find Mya. It's better than waiting for my death in the company!'The bridesmaids blocked the door, and they received checks through the door gap. Zach did not prepare any white envelope with gift money inside. So, he wrote a few checks.On such a big day, he was very generous. Each check was written with amounts nearly reaching six figures.Although Blake loved money, for some reason, she could not even force a smile this time.Dalton hid in Madelyn's wedding gown, occasionally peeking out. Madelyn lowered her head to look at him through her veil.With a few baby teeth, he laughed happily, drooling. She wiped away the drool with a tissue. She found Dalton's eyes resembled hers when she was a kid.If it were not for the fact that she could not conceive or for Zach bringing Dalton back from outside of the orph
Madelyn did not answer that question.Zach said, "I've prepared a gift for you tonight. I'm sure you'll like it."Madelyn remained silent.They arrived at Eternal Seasons. There was a long, white wedding carpet adorned with flowers. This wedding was unprecedented; it was the grandest in the entire Ventropolis. Hundreds of luxury cars were there at the venue. People on the sidewalks stopped to watch as each luxury car passed by.The wedding was even broadcast live. It amazed everyone.Even when Zach married for the first time, he did not have such a grand wedding.Agustin was present, as per Madelyn's request. So, Zach had to agree with it.Under the guidance of the wedding officiant, the wedding ceremony went smoothly without any interruptions.Menacing, Frida tried to enter the wedding venue but was stopped by the bodyguards at the door, "I'm sorry, Ms. Young. You aren't invited, so you can't go in."Frida responded, "Since you know who I am, how dare you stop me?! Let me in
The liquid was composed of ninety percent sedatives; just a little was enough to anesthetize an adult man.The wine was prepared in advance for Zach.Madelyn changed into a white fishtail dress with diamonds before going downstairs. She followed Zach to toast important guests.They met with the big shots in the political and business circles and toasted with them. Everyone was smiling and exchanging blessings.Zach handled the conversations with ease and confidence. Madelyn was merely accompanying him.They toasted with a lot of people. When they accidentally touched each other through their clothes, Madelyn could feel his body burning hot. It was the effect of the alcohol.Zach had indeed drunk a lot. Madelyn was allergic to alcohol; she drank tea instead. Finally, they had finished toasting the people they needed to.Madelyn had been up since around four in the morning. She had started the day with a bowl of spaghetti cooked by Zach.When she returned to her room, she felt ex
Zach was very passionate.The sound of the fireworks outside drowned out Madelyn's moan.Zach and Madelyn stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, making love. He lifted Madelyn, who was exhausted, from the ground and hugged her tightly.She was drenched in sweat, and her hair stuck to her well-defined chin. Sweat fell from her sexy, fair neck onto her collarbone as a deep, pleasant voice echoed in her ears, "Madelyn, did you see it? The fireworks that you wanted to see."All the fireworks in the entire Ventropolis today were set off for you."Wherever you run away to, I'll go and get you back."As soon as he finished his sentence, Madelyn completely fell asleep.After the wedding, Kevin and Blake saw off the guests.She felt very uneasy and restless. She had been absentminded the entire night.Looking gentle in a blue skirt and draped with a scarf, Audrey walked over, "Mr. Harrison, you must be exhausted."Kevin responded, "It's nothing. Ms. Parker, take care."Most p
Audrey walked over to Kevin, but her long dress almost tripped her. Kevin reacted swiftly to support her. Audrey, sensitive to their contact, looked at the part where they touched. He was aware of his abruptness and gradually let go of her, "The floor is slippery. Be careful."Audrey smiled, "I still don't like wearing high heels. Thank you, Mr. Harrison."Kevin nodded, "You're welcome. The car will be here soon. Be careful on the way back, and stay safe."He took a step back to maintain a proper distance.Audrey asked, "You seem to care a lot about that person just now. Do you have feelings for her?"Kevin did not deny nor admit it, "She was my intern assistant. She tends to get into trouble. I apologize for any embarrassment."Audrey smiled gently, "I've heard about her. She's Ms. Samford's assistant. I can tell that you treat her differently."Outside Eternal Seasons, a familiar black car slowly approached. She continued, "Mr. Harrison, the car is here. I'll be taking my leav
Madelyn said with guilt, "I'm sorry. I can't let the same thing happen again this time. I cannot continue to stay by your side."She shook her head and continued, "We both know you never loved me, Zach. If this continues, we'll just keep tormenting each other."The effect of the aphrodisiac was still strong, but Zach held onto his consciousness with sheer willpower. He warned her, "If you dare take another step forward, I'll destroy Ethan until nothing is left."Zach was still trying to bluff her since he had not found Ethan's location. Though, Madelyn knew where he was.She said again, "I'm sorry.""Try and leave! With just one phone call, you won't be able to escape ever again," Zach threatened her.Madelyn stared back at him. When she saw the phone on his bedside table, she did not hesitate to try to grab it from him. She could not let him make that call. If Zach had called for more backup, Madelyn would not have had another chance to run away. However, she did not know she wa
