Chapter 685
Knock, knock!
Someone started knocking on the door.
Emma swiftly went to get the door, but she had only just opened it an inch when she saw Dylan standing outside and immediately closed the door again. She turned to Amelia and said, "Hurry up, Amy. The groom's here. He's knocking on the door right now."
"Don't open the door!" Amelia threw back frantically. "I haven't hidden the shoes yet. Why is he here so early?"
Kendall chuckled as she watched her friend scooting around the room trying to find a place to hide the bride's shoes.
Although Kendall and Dylan had been living their married life for quite some time now, she went back to stay with her parents two days before the wedding day, so the couple hadn't seen each other for two days. Thus, Dylan was in a rush to get the wedding over with and take Kendall home with him.
The knocks on the door grew louder.
"Hurry, Amy! Just pick somewhere. The best way to keep something hidden is to hide it in plain sight."
Emma couldn't keep the door closed much longer, so she kept hurrying Amelia.
"Oh, alright! I'll just hide it somewhere."
Amelia ran behind Kendall and set the shoes down beneath her wedding gown.
"You're not allowed to speak or give Dylan any hints with your eyes either, Kendall."
After giving Kendall one last reminder, Amelia ran over to Emma and helped her with the door. They opened the door ever so slightly and each stuck a hand out. "You need to pay an entry fee!" Amelia declared mischievously.
As soon as Frank spotted Amelia, he quickly took out the envelopes of cash he had with him and stuffed them into Amelia's hand.
Toddy wasn't about to let the woman he loved go empty-handed, so he copied Frank and passed all the envelopes of cash he had over to Emma too.
The two women quickly retracted their hands back into the room.
Soon, both hands came back out again.
Dylan divided the money he brought between the two women. He even had the rest of his groomsmen do the same thing. At last, the bridesmaids had more cash envelopes than they could hold, so they finally opened the door.
Dylan's groomsmen poured into the room with him.
A grin broke out on Dylan's face when he saw Kendall sitting on the bed and smiling at him. He began walking over to her.
"Master Dylan!"
Amelia and Emma quickly stood in his path, and Amelia announced with a smile, "You have to find Kendall's shoes and put them on for her before you can take her away."
Dylan looked down at Kendall's feet. Sure enough, she didn't have her shoes on.
"You need to search carefully, darling. I'll only leave with you once you find my shoes," Kendall piped up cheerfully.
Dylan chuckled and immediately began his search.
Everyone laughed as they watched Dylan turn the room upside down without finding any sign of Kendall's shoes.
Dylan walked back to Kendall and stared at his lovely wife. The shoes have to be in this room, he thought. I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything. The only place I didn't search is where she's sitting.
He studied Kendall's gown. It was certainly long enough to hide a pair of shoes.
Dylan leaned in and searched all around Kendall. As he felt the back of Kendall's gown, he chuckled and declared, "I found them."
He brought out Kendall's shoes.
Everyone clapped in celebration.
As expected of him! To no one's surprise, Dylan easily found the shoes.
Kendall had a glowing smile on her face.
She knew he wouldn't let her down.
"Why didn't you do a better job of hiding them? He found them so quickly," Emma murmured to Amelia.
"Well, you didn't want to help and you kept hurrying me, so I had to just hide them somewhere," Amelia replied. "Where could I have hidden them anyway? Didn't you see the way he scoured the place earlier?"
He would've found the shoes a lot sooner if she didn't hide them behind Kendall.
"When you and Toddy get married, I'll be your bridesmaid and hide your shoes extremely well to make sure he has a hard time finding them." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Emma blushed.
After her health scare, she let go of the past and opened up her heart again by getting into a relationship with Toddy. She hadn't gotten over him yet anyway, and Toddy had realized his feelings for her too, so their relationship progressed extremely speedily.
They barely spent any time apart these days.
Emma leaned in and whispered into Amelia's ear, "When are you and Mr. Mendelson going to make it official?"
"There's no rush. I quite like things the way they are right now," Amelia muttered in response.
She didn't reject Frank, but neither did she accept his confession either. Even though everyone else figured that she and Frank would get married someday, she was going to take it slow.
Kendall joked that Amelia was going to become a godmother before she even got married.
Frank felt a sense of urgency about it, and after pestering Dylan for advice, Dylan seemed to have said something that made him become a lot more patient, though he continued pursuing Amelia anyway.
As it was, Frank and Amelia were getting along fairly well now.
Dylan successfully managed to receive his bride.
The couple said their goodbyes to Kendall's parents, and with their blessing, Kendall got into the wedding car.
The wedding procession left Parker Residence with trucks full of wedding gifts. Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
They knew that the Colemans had given an entire fortune in the form of wedding gifts to the Parkers, and after seeing everything Kendall was hauling back with her, they could tell that her family was letting her take everything with her.
After getting into the car, Kendall held her hand out and Dylan immediately took it.
She leaned against his shoulder and said blissfully, "We finally completed our wedding ceremony, darling. From now on, I'm officially yours."
Dylan kissed her cheek and announced affectionately, "We'll be together forever!"
Together forever. How wonderful.
Kendall believed that they would be able to brave through whatever came their way and spend the rest of their lives together.
The wedding reception was held at Dynasty Hotel. All of the most influential people in Orapolis were in attendance.
The reporters even live-streamed the entire wedding that astounded all of Orapolis.
Even Jackson and Kelly who were still in prison knew all about how grand and majestic the wedding was.
Jackson went without food the whole day. He was in a daze the whole time.
He recalled the past—the days when he was dating Kendall and faked having feelings for her.
While he didn't love Kendall at the time, he had to admit it had been a happy period of his life. Kendall truly loved him and treated him well.
His business went swimmingly, and he was in a relationship with a beautiful woman. Everything was perfect.
Alas, it all came to an end when Kendall abruptly stopped loving him.
Even to this day, he couldn't figure out why Kendall suddenly lost all her feelings for him and chose to marry Dylan.
At the time, Dylan was still confined to a wheelchair and was rumored to be impotent. It would've taken a lot of courage to marry him.
"Kendall…" Jackson murmured under his breath.
His heart was filled with regret.
If I didn't go along with Kelly and plot against Kendall… If I did marry Kendall… Would my life have been different?
"Kendall… You were supposed to be my wife!"
Tears of regret glistened in Jackson's eyes before rolling down his cheeks.
Nevertheless, he couldn't turn back time no matter how much he regretted the past.
In this life, he and Kendall were not meant to be!
