On January 22nd, the day of Elisa and Louis’ wedding, the banquet was held at the largest hotel in Bankshire. The security guards outside tightly protected the venue, preventing any paparazzi from getting a chance to enter.
“This wedding is probably the most luxurious one so far, and it’s unlikely to be surpassed in the future,” a guest attending the ceremony couldn’t help but say.
Thousands of bouquets of red roses were transported to the wedding venue and decorated throughout the area. From a higher perspective, it looked like they were surrounded by a sea of red roses, creating a magnificent atmosphere and filling the air with a fragrant scent.
The wedding feast was personally arranged by Mrs. White, who invited renowned chefs from both domestic and international cuisines. They prepared a variety of Chinese and Western dishes to cater to the taste of all the guests attending the wedding.
On that day, business elites from Bankshire, Chiwood, Quokka, and other places accepted the invitations to attend the wedding. Apart from businessmen, there were also friends Elisa and Louis made in the entertainment industry, such as actors and directors.
Mrs. White claimed to be low-key, but just looking at the chosen hotel, the decoration inside, and not to mention the menu she arranged, it cost millions.
This event had already become a hot topic on major social media platforms, and Twitter was overwhelmed by it. Although preparations for maintenance had been made in advance, no one expected it to become paralyzed so quickly.
The on-site media took a few photos and uploaded them online, immediately receiving tens of thousands of likes. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the appearance of the bride and groom.
The weather this winter was exceptionally good, with no snow. And on the 22nd, it was a rare sunny day. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and Elisa didn’t feel cold at all in her wedding dress.
Wearing red attire and with a golden hairpin adorning her hair, Elisa sat quietly on the bed, waiting for everyone to arrive. She resembled a beautiful painting.
This made people can’t help but recall the scene in Elisa’s first TV drama, “Revenge and Love,” where she wore red clothing and entered the palace.
Louis couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the sight, until Brittany gently bumped him with her shoulder from behind, bringing him back to reality.
“Is she beautiful?” Elisa covered her face and giggled.
To complete her bridal makeup, Elisa had gotten up at five o’clock.
Originally, Elisa thought she wouldn’t be nervous about a wedding, considering all the grand scenes she had experienced. However, last night proved that she had been anxious and couldn’t sleep all night.
“She is beautiful, incredibly beautiful,” Louis softened his expression, and his gaze was solely focused on Elisa.
When the two of them got married, they didn’t follow any of the conventional customs. He came to fetch her, and she reached out her hand to go with him.
The Baker family, including Micah, were also invited to visit the wedding venue, and Ivan came along as well.
When Ivan received the wedding invitation, he was dumbfounded. Perhaps in the past, there might have been a slight connection between the Powell family and the White family, but now… there was no possible reason for the White family to invite him.
Ivan had some self-awareness now. Maybe it wasn’t because of him, but rather because of the past interactions between him and the Powell family.
Since everyone else had received an invitation, he had no reason not to attend. However, what concerned him the most was the bride’s name-Elisa.
He had known Elisa for a long time. She wasn’t his sister, but a hot actress in the entertainment industry. She was also the executive CEO of AW Group, with a net worth of several billion dollars.
Apart from sharing the same name, she resembled his sister in appearance and even had some similarity in abilities.
Could such coincidences really happen in the world? Or was fate just like this?
Holding the invitation, Ivan suddenly felt a burning sensation in his heart as if it had spread throughout his body. Even his eye sockets turned slightly red.
He didn’t know what he was thinking at that moment, but after receiving the invitation, Ivan went to the mall to carefully select a formal suit. On the day of the wedding, he wore a well-fitted white suit and went to the wedding venue.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Ivan discovered that Micah was also there. Among the people in the room, Micah was the only one he was familiar with, so he hurried over to greet him.
“Micah.”
Micah glanced at him but didn’t respond, only nodding slightly.
Ivan suddenly felt awkward, frozen in place. He was a person without any accomplishments, naturally not adept at doing business. He could enjoy eating, drinking, and having fun, but it was impossible for him to meet businessmen and expand his circle in such a grand occasion.
Every time he encountered such an important event, he felt out of place among these people.
At times like this, he couldn’t help but think of when Elisa was still around. She was so young back then, how did she manage to support the Powell family? How did she survive in such gatherings, where everyone had ulterior motives and was good at being calculative? She was only 18 at the time, yet she managed to make sure the Powell family didn’t go bankrupt.
Previously, Ivan was contemptuous of everything Elisa had done. He hated her, blaming her for the death of his mother and taking away the Powell Group that should’ve belonged to him.
But after experiencing the same path as her, he realized how difficult it was.
If it weren’t for the support of the Baker family all these years, he might not have been able to stay in Bankshire.
Ivan sat next to Micah, ordering a glass of champagne. As the evening approached, the lights gradually brightened up, and warm yellow candlelight flickered.
“The bride is entering,” someone shouted.
Ivan followed the voice and looked towards the stage. No one could take their eyes off Elisa. With classical music playing, she walked gently from the end of the aisle covered in roses. The red dress’s skirt stirred the petals around her, instantly capturing the attention of the media.
Some people instinctively took out their phones and recorded this scene. While they knew Elisa was beautiful, they didn’t expect her to look her most stunning in the night.
Hundreds and even thousands of fireworks lit up the sky.
Louis loves Elisa for eternity; she is the unwavering dream in his life.
Elisa looked up at the drones performing in the sky and couldn’t help but tremble with excitement. “Did you arrange this?” she asked.
“Yes,” Louis nodded. “Do you like it?”
“I love it.” Waiting for this wedding was already the biggest surprise, but she never expected Louis to prepare an even bigger one.
There were no stars in the winter night sky, but the drones arranged by Louis illuminated the entire sky, even more beautiful than countless stars.
Touching the engagement ring on her ring finger, Elisa looked at Louis from the corner of her eye. Just the thought of having someone like him accompany her for the rest of her life made her feel incredibly lucky.
It was as if all the hardships she had experienced in her past life were just to exchange for the fortune she had now.
Meeting each other was destiny; having each other was luck.
“Nine-year-old Deacon likes Elisa.”
“Twenty-six-year-old Autumn loves Elisa.”
“Now, thirty-five-year-old Louis deeply loves Elisa.”
The joy of this unexpected meeting gradually turned into an unshakable deep love over time.
Perhaps even Elisa didn’t know just how much Louis loved her.
He liked her from the very first moment, and no matter how she changed, he would always like her. Even if he lost his memories and became foolish, he would still find it impossible to treat her unkindly. She had always attracted him since that first glance.
Elisa pursed her lips, her eyes shining bright, reflecting the light from Louis. That was the light within her eyes.
She smiled at Louis, a big smile. “Through mountains and rivers, through three lifetimes of luck, from now on, Mr. White, please take care of me for the rest of our lives.”
Starting from the first sight, and ending in old age.
