Annie had been toasting guests in her high heels for over two hours. She felt so exhausted that she could barely stand. After finally seeing off another group of guests, she wearily slumped into Aaron''s arms fo a much-needed break.


    "Getting married is so tiring! I''m never doing this again!"


    Aaron supported her and smiled with a raised eyebrow. "That''s funny, because you sound like you''re nning for the next time."


    Annie pouted. "Who knows! What if you get tired of marriage and decide to leave me for your own adventures one day? I can''t just sit around and wait for you, right?"Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Aaron reached out and pinched her cheek. "You cheeky woman! You shouldn''t be talking about something so gloomy on a happy day like this. Why would I rush into marrying you if I still want to y around outside? Isn''t that a bit silly?"


    Annie frowned with the pain. "Hey! Don''t ruin my makeup! Did you know I got up at four in the morning just so the makeup artist could do her magic on me? Plus, this whole look took her two hours, okay? So get your hands off me!"


    Aaron pulled back his hand right away and nted a quick kiss on her lips. "Wait here. I''m going to get the makeup artist toe over to do some touch-ups. I''ll also get you a pair of ts." Annie nodded, sinking into a chair to take a breather. Standing for so long had her muscles feeling sore. She was not joking about weddings being seriously exhausting. Annie kicked off her high heels and stretched her sore feet when out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Corinne sitting not far away, watching her with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Annie blushed as she knew Corinne must have seen the moment when Aaron kissed her. Feeling a bit bashful, she waved in Corinne''s direction, signaling her toe over for a chat. Corinne was with the kids, who were enjoying their cakes. When she saw Annie waving her over, she instructed the maid who apanied her to keep an eye on the kids and got up to walk over. "Corinne, how did I do today?" Annie asked with a cheerful smile as if she were a little puppy waiting for praise.


    Corinne pulled out a chair and sat next to her. "Well, you were poised, elegant, and absolutely beautiful. In short, you were fantastic!"


    Annie beamed proudly at Corinne''s praise. "I felt that I did pretty well today too, hehe!"


    Corinne looked at her. "You must be tired."


    Annie shrugged. "Yeah...but it''s totally worth it! This is the dream wedding I''ve always wanted. Everything went so smoothly, and it''s just perfect! This day is enough to make me proud for a lifetime." Corinne could not help but chuckle at how adorable Annie was. However, while she was trying to search for a ss of juice on the table, her gaze caught an unexpected guest.


    It was Sophia. She appeared at the wedding venue in a dazzling evening gown, gracefully making her way toward Annie.


    Corinne narrowed her eyes and wondered, ''What is she doing here?''


    Annie noticed the change in Corinne''s face. She followed her gaze, and a frown immediately appeared on her face when she saw Sophia.


    "It''s Sophia! What''s that wretched woman doing in my wedding?! D*mn it! She''s ruining my wedding!"
