Chapter 1653

Erica lifted her skirt and walked over to Rosalynn.

"You're looking amazing!" Rosalynn exclaimed upon spotting Erica. "Hands down, the most stunning bride I've ever seen"

"Wait till your big day, you'll outshine me for sure!" Erica retorted, grinning as she turned to Wayne, President Silverman, your kids are all grown-up. Time to get hitched, don't you think?" In fact, attending this wedding had stirred up Wayne's desire to tie the knot.

He vaguely remembered having wedding plans before things went south. But now, he couldn't recollect a thing.

"Absolutely." Wayne replied with conviction.

"Daddy, I wanna be the flower girl!" Ivy chipped in, clutching Wayne's hand

"Sure thing" Wayne affectionately ruffled Ivy's hair,

"You guys should head to the banquet hall, I need to change into my next outfit Erica quickly excused herself and left. Rosalynn glanced at Jacob, who was holding a bouquet.

Jacob was swarmed by a handful of acquaintances, it seemed he won't be able to leave early.

"Jacob finally got his act together, Rosalynn commented, then suggested to Wayne, "Let's head to the banquet hall"

"Alright." Wayne nodded, but his gaze unknowingly drifted back to Jacob.

Thinking about his own fate-potentially being in Jacob's shoes - sent a shiver down Wayne's spine.

Watching the woman he'd passionately loved marrying another man, looking so darn happy....

What if it had been him.....

Wayne's thoughts momentarily stalled.

No, it would never be him. Not unless he was six feet under. Such a scenario was absolutely off the cards. This realization made Wayne feel somewhat better

On the way to the banquet hall, Rosalynn and her family bumped into the Shields trio, still on the phone

"What's going on? We're just here for the wedding, how could Kelly go missing?" Jack kept dialing, but to no avail.

Rosalynn paid no attention to them, just listening to Ivy's amusing anecdotes about the bridesmaids.

By the time they arrived at the banquet hall, the guests were mostly seated.

Rosalynn was seated near the head table.

Not long after she sat down, a slideshow meticulously put together by Larkin started playing on the big screen. It featured photos and videos of Erica and him from childhood till the time they met. Their first group photo was taken on the day Erica nearly drowned.

In the photo, Erica and Orval were positioned together, while Larkin was off at a distant corner

The slideshow continued with numerous photos and videos taken after their reunion on the cruise. They'd sailed through countless far-off places, watching the changing seasons together.

Erica gradually became more outgoing and cheerful, a transformation that was pretty evident

Rosalynn watched, genuinely moved

Such is the impact of having a good significant other. Erica experienced it, and so did Paige.

The party proceeded smoothly, except for the Shields family who looked quite perturbed.

They tried to reach Erica, who was busy toasting around, several times but were stopped by Larkin's crew.

Only after Erica finished her rounds did Rosalynn leave her seat

The banquet hall was massive.

As soon as Rosalynn stepped out, one of Larkin's men led her to a private room.

The moment the door opened, a figure dashed towards her

"You locked me in here!"

Rosalynn merely threw Kelly a glance, walked past her, and took a seat, "don't worry. Your plans, they worked out."

Kelly stood stiffly on the spot.

She cast Rosalynn a sidelong glance, "What are you talking about? I'm here for Erica's wedding, why would I possibly have a plan?"
