The next morning, Leo and Sophia woke up early and went downstairs together to have breakfast.
After breakfast, they returned to their room to get ready and dress up before going out to take photos.
Eden and Joanna also woke up in the same bed, feeling slightly hungover from the large amount of red wine they had consumed the previous night.
After getting dressed and washing up, Joanna said in confusion, “I feel like something is off. It’s been so long, why hasn’t there been any reaction from the Bernard family?”
Eden also felt puzzled by this and pondered for a moment before saying, “Perhaps Jacob and the Bernard family’s thugs were defeated and returned without success, and the Bernard family is afraid of Leo and dare not take action.”
“That’s impossible!” Joanna quickly rejected the idea. “No matter how skilled Leo is in fighting, if Jacob was beaten up that badly, the Bernard family, with their personality, will definitely want to settle the score with Leo! We need to go see how Leo and Sophia are doing.”
They went downstairs and directly went up to the third floor to knock on the door of the room where Leo and Sophia were staying.
Leo opened the door and appeared in front of them looking quite handsome in his tailored suit. Even Joanna, who had seen many handsome men before, was taken aback for a moment.
Seeing Leo standing there safely and soundly, Eden breathed a sigh of relief.
Leo thought that Eden had come to invite him and Sophia to go take wedding photos and smiled, saying, “We’re ready. Should we leave now?”
“Hang on a second,” Eden said as she made a phone call to her assistant.
After finishing the call, Eden and Joanna went downstairs to start preparing the equipment for the shoot.
When Leo closed the door and turned around, he was left speechless.
Sophia had already changed into her RosaClara wedding dress. She looked like an ethereal snow lotus in the white wedding gown. She was breathtakingly beautiful, beyond the words “gorgeous” or “stunning.” The words “beautiful” didn’t even seem adequate to describe her.
Seeing Leo’s dazed expression, Sophia couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, “Leo, are you okay?”
After a while, Leo came back to his senses and pretend to ask, “Sophia, do you know how beautiful you are?”
“How beautiful?” Sophia responded in a sweet tone.
“More than words can describe,” Leo sincerely said.
“You’re so sweet!” Sophia thought to herself with a warm heart.
Soon, Eden called to let them know that they were ready and told them to go down to the ground floor lobby.
As soon as Leo and Sophia appeared in the lobby, they immediately caught the attention of everyone present.
Even the cleaning ladies in the lobby couldn’t help but look at them with admiring eyes.
Eden walked up to Sophia and genuinely said, “Miss Henley, I’ve been working in the wedding photography industry for quite some time now, but I can confidently say that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in a wedding dress.”
Sophia smiled and thanked Eden.
Joanna and Yanis also couldn’t stop praising Sophia.
In truth, with her beauty and grace, Sophia was truly stunning and could captivate anyone, regardless of gender.
After everything was ready, the four of them exited the hotel together.
In her pure white wedding dress, Sophia stole all the attention .
The shooting location for today was male forest. They arrived at the parking lot and drove off.
After arriving at their destination, Eden promptly began filming.
It has to be said that Eden was extremely professional when it came to shooting wedding photos. The samples he had taken were enough to leave Leo and Sophia extremely satisfied.
Yanis, Eden’s assistant, was also quite skilled in makeup and styling. With Yanis’ guidance, there would be no awkward moments during the shoot.
With the joint effort of the four of them, the morning shoot was completed after just over two hours.
After a satisfying lunch and a short break, the four drove to their afternoon shooting location, Maple Beach.
Maple Beach was a famous scenic spot along the Maple Coast. Sophia was entranced by the beauty the moment she arrived and almost forgot that she was here to shoot wedding photos.
As before, Leo and Sophia only needed to coordinate their poses while Eden and Yanis handled the rest of the work.
When the sun was setting, the shoot of the day was finally completed.
Shooting wedding photos was physical labor, both for the photographer and the main characters.
Sophia, wearing high heels, had sore feet, but there was no sign of pain on her face, only happiness.
Leo sat down next to Sophia on the golden beach, with their shoulders touching, and looked at the beautiful sunset together.
“Sophia, are you tired?” Leo asked with concern.
“Yes, but mostly I feel happy and blessed. Leo, thank you,” Sophia said affectionately.
“What are you thanking me for?”
“Thank you for giving me all this beauty.”
Leo knelt down in front of Sophia and took her feet in his hands, which were soon bare of her high heels. “Your feet must be very sore now. Let me massage them,” he said.
Eden and Yanis were right next to them, making Sophia feel embarrassed. “No need, I’ll be fine after a short rest,” she said.
“Don’t forget, I’m a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. My massage techniques are definitely professional and will make your soreness disappear,” Leo said as he found the acupuncture points on Sophia’s feet and began to massage them.
Soon, just as Leo had said, the soreness in Sophia’s feet disappeared, replaced by a feeling of warmth and comfort that spread from her calves to her whole body.
Sophia closed her eyes slightly, a look of contentment on her face…
After dinner, when the four of them returned to the parking lot of the Maple Villa Hotel, it was almost 9 o’clock at night.
In the hotel lobby sat a greasy middle-aged man with a cigarette in his hand, constantly glancing at the door as if waiting for someone.
When he saw Leo and Sophia walking through the lobby door, he extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray next to him and stood up to approach Leo.
“Hello, are you Leo – Mr. Bloomer?” asked the greasy man politely.
Leo gave him a once-over and replied, “Yes, I’m Leo.”
“My name is Mavis, a butler of the Bernard family. Today I specifically came to invite you to visit the Bernard family manor,” Mavis said with a polite smile as he extended his hand to Leo.
“The Bernard family butler?” Leo furrowed his brows and didn’t shake Mavis’ hand.
Leo knew that the Bernard family wouldn’t give up easily. This greasy man was actually a smiling tiger. He claimed to be inviting him to a guest house, but in reality it was a pretext for an unfriendly meeting.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know the Bernard family well and don’t want to go for a visit,” Leo refused bluntly.
