She Is A CEO

Chapter 1126 Romantic Wedding

"Did I say something wrong? From now on, you're going to be a dad, so be more serious," Kane said.

"When have I not been serious?" Eduard felt aggrieved. He was a decisive CEO in front of outsiders, but for some reason, he had become more carefree around his friends lately.

"If I ever see any gossip about you in the tabloids, I'll break your legs," Arthur threatened. Lucia saw Daphne as a little sister and would do anything to protect her.

"I wouldn't dare..." Eduard had just claimed to be serious when he suddenly looked pitiful and made Kane burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, the bride's room was also lively. Daphne didn't have many friends at Athegate but with Juliana there as the mood maker, and laughter was never far away.

"Do you think Eduard will be so nervous that he'll start shaking?" Juliana teased mercilessly.

"He won't," blushed Daphne as she occasionally stroked her slightly protruding belly.

"He won't?" Lucia laughed with her eyes curved. "I saw him in the hallway earlier when no one else was around and his face was expressionless from nerves. Daphne, Eduard really cares about you." Daphne didn't say anything but her happy expression gave everything away.

"Daphne, after getting married, don't feel like you need to cater to him just because he's your husband," advised Juliana. "In fact, men always prefer women who are playful and a bit stubborn. You have every right to act that way too."

"Indeed," agreed Lucia nodding her head vigorously. "Eduard needs someone who can keep him in line. Remember all those scandals before? You must assert yourself after marriage. If he still dares misbehave, then I'll help break his legs!"

Lucia didn't know it yet but she and Arthur were on the same wavelength; just as she spoke those words, Eduard sneezed innocently for no apparent reason.

Eduard's wedding caused quite a stir among high society circles; some people wanted to come but dared not, Casper, Nia being among them. Eduard did not give them any face by sending an invitation. Casper took it well, but Nia was truly furious!

Upon seeing the live broadcast of their wedding online, Nia was furious. The scene was as grand as a ceremony with celebrities constantly appearing on camera to offer their congratulations. "What's so great about it? Even if he invited us, I wouldn't go!" Kevin glanced at Nia but didn't say anything in response.

Nia complained bitterly, "Do you think it's necessary for him to make such a big deal out of his wedding?" Kevin still remained silent but couldn't stop Nia from being jealous. "He invited everyone except us! How would my friends feel if they didn't see me there? What about my face?"

Kevin sighed and put down his phone. "Why are you angry? Even if he did invite us, we wouldn't be able to attend."

"Hmph!" Nia snorted heavily.

Nia had been sulking over not receiving an invitation while her sister Eve was struggling with one in her hand. Daphne would definitely have sent her an invitation and she also had Lauren by her side. "Lauren..." Eve had already crumpled the invitation in her hand and looked conflicted.

"Arthur said that many media outlets will be broadcasting this wedding tonight. If you're not afraid of Nia seeing it, you can go." Lauren wasn't particularly eager to attend himself. "But..." Daphne was a friend that she had worked hard to make...

Seeing how torn Eve looked, Lauren picked up her phone and made a call before telling her, "I just asked Arthur earlier. They'll have a private gathering tonight attended only by close acquaintances. I'll take you there later. Is that okay?"

"Really?!" Eve was ecstatic; she really wanted to convey her wishes for Daphne personally on this day.

"Yes really! Besides, there's also the live broadcast now so why don't we watch it first?" Seeing how happy Eve looked softened Lauren's heart so he took advantage of the moment and hugged Eve's shoulder while they watched the wedding together online.

Before the start of the ceremony itself, Daphne's parents approached Lucia privately, expressing their gratitude. Their daughter always came up her "benefactor" whenever they talked about family matters during calls, and they were extremely grateful towards Lucia.

Feeling shy yet warm towards these two elders who were sincere in thanking her for everything done for their daughter, Lucia replied modestly, "Please don't be too polite. Daphne is my good friend after all. Whatever I've done is what anyone should do."

"No, we should be thanking you," Mrs. Cook, Pearl Cook said with a smile when she first met Lucia, who exuded gentleness from within. "It's thanks to you that Daphne has made it this far."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Auntie, you're too kind," Lucia felt unworthy of the praise and shook her head repeatedly. "It's Daphne's own kindness that has led her to a smooth and happy life so far. And as for Eduard, you can rest assured. I've known him for a long time now. He is honest, righteous and responsible; he will take good care of Daphne and the child."

"We know, we know..." With Lucia vouching for him, Pearl was completely at ease - not to mention Eduard's already high status in society. They were from an ordinary family who looked up to those from noble backgrounds.

"Since we won't be around Daphne anymore after this wedding ceremony is over," Mr. Cook, Hayden Cook smiled warmly at Lucia before continuing hesitantly, "We hope that you can take care of her more in the future."

"That goes without saying." Lucia readily agreed.

Soon enough, the wedding ceremony began officially. Although Eduard appeared calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous inside.

He even stumbled on some words during his vows!

Ironically though it was this mistake that helped ease Daphne's nerves (who had already been sweaty), allowing her to recite hers easily before they sealed their union with a sweet kiss under falling cherry blossoms which landed on their shoulders like droplets of happiness.

With the ceremony finally over, guests started mingling freely and enjoying each other's company amidst an atmosphere filled with romance and joy. The bridegroom and bride changed into other attire for their toast ceremonies.
