Chapter 1856 Delivering Flowers
“I’ll go.”
In the end, Dustin agreed to Jory’s request.
On the day of Nancy and Jory’s wedding, the venue was very lively.
Balloons decorated the venue, and the air was filled with the fragrance of roses and red wine. Meanwhile, the bride looked gorgeous and the groom exuded charm.
Everyone was anticipating the beautiful moment when they were pronounced husband and wife.
Although Nancy and Caspian were divorced, they had long since made peace with each other and were now buddies for life. Simon had also finally accepted Jory. In fact, he was never against their relationship but was actually testing them all this time.
Tucked in a corner, Larry stood in front of a window with a trace of sadness flashing across his eyes.
If Joan knew that Nancy and Jory are getting married, she’d probably be over the moon, right?
“Larry, what are you doing here?” Gabriella walked over right then.
Surprise flitted across Larry’s features, but he quickly regained his composure. He never expected Gabriella to attend this wedding. Although Jory had formed an alliance with Gabriella before, according to the former’s personality, he probably wouldn’t invite the latter to his wedding.
“Mm,” Larry replied tersely, having no intention to continue the conversation.
Since Joan was gone, Gabriella felt that it was time to make her move. Thus, she started addressing him in an intimate manner. “Lars, h-how have you been lately?” She peered at him suspiciously, but the man showed no reaction other than indifference.
It’s already been so long since Joan’s death. Hasn’t he moved on from his grief yet?
A trace of heartache entered Gabriella’s eyes, but there was also a hint of delight.
One day, I’ll definitely take Joan’s place!
Gabriella clenched her fists tightly.
“Now, let’s welcome the bride and groom!”
The venue reverberated with thunderous applause. This was the first time Dustin made an appearance since he was the groom’s best man.
However, when his eyes swept over a particular person in the crowd, his gaze instantly darkened a few shades.
At that moment, Larry was swirling the wine in his glass and taking small, elegant sips.
“Jory, were you the one who invited her?” Nancy whispered into Jory’s ear while discreetly pointing in Gabriella’s direction with her right hand.
Jory shook his head without saying anything.
“Lars, it’s already been so long since Joan’s death. Haven’t you thought about finding another girlfriend?” Gabriella asked out of the blue.
That new form of address grated on Larry’s nerves. He looked at Gabriella in front of him, his eyes growing cold.
This woman definitely had something to do with Joan’s death, but Caspian hasn’t found any solid evidence. Not to mention, the offending driver vanished all of sudden, leaving us without any clues.
“There’s no other woman I’d want besides Joan!” Larry growled before turning to leave.
Gabriella watched as Larry walked away, feeling slightly disheartened and bitter at the same time. I’ve done so much for him. Doesn’t he feel anything for me at all?
We shall see.
A scheming smile crept onto Gabriella’s lips.
…
“Selena, are you busy? If you’re not, can you deliver these flowers for me?” Delilah said hastily.
Delilah didn’t have any special hobbies besides growing flowers in her downtime. Hence, this had gradually become her career. However, the flowers she grew were very special and generally weren’t available on the market. Thus, whenever there were events in the city nearby the village, her flowers would be their first choice.
“Will do, Ms. Young. Just send me the address,” Selena called out.
It was coincidently her off day. Since she was idle at home, she followed Delilah to the garden.
“Come on. You can still make it if you leave now. It’s for a wedding, so make sure you deliver these flowers in one piece.” Delilah pinned Selena with a serious gaze.
“Also, today’s your first time in the city. Since you’re free, you can have some fun over there before coming home.” Delilah patted Selena’s shoulder gently.
I usually don’t have time to go shopping with Selena. This is the perfect time for her to go out and have fun.
“What’s so fun about the city? I’d rather spend time with the plants here.” Selena smiled before turning to leave.
The location where she was to deliver the flowers wasn’t that far from the village, but the wedding venue managed to take Selena’s breath away.
