Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 556 - 298: Fragrant Robes and Shadowed Hair (Part 2)
"I never expected that having a grand wedding would feel so good," Summer Spencer murmured. "My sister used to say that if she ever got married, she wouldn’t want a grand wedding like a circus. She just wanted a private ceremony with the one she loves. — Do you think that’s too naive?"
Blake Leaf nodded dismissively and said, "It’s definitely too naive. Your sister willingly giving up her inheritance rights to the Spencer Family proves she’s too emotional."
He smiled at Summer Spencer, "But you’re the one who suits me, Summer. Many times, your choices make me feel like I’m making them myself. We’re on the same wavelength."
"Of course, otherwise, why would you leave my sister to come to me?" Summer Spencer teased with a playful grin, "I’ll make sure you know I’m much better than my sister."
"No need. I already know that." Blake Leaf held Summer Spencer’s hand and gently kissed the back of it.
He used to be so insecure, he didn’t even dare pursue the girl he’d known since childhood, ’Three Billion Sister.’ It was Spring Spencer’s proactive approach that helped him regain his confidence.
And Summer Spencer’s straightforward pursuit boosted his confidence even higher.
He was no longer the insecure Blake Leaf who grew up feeling inferior about his family background.
At this moment, he wished he could send invitations to everyone he knew since childhood — classmates, teachers, colleagues, and relatives — to let them witness his transformation, his rise like a phoenix, and his escape from their societal class.
Unfortunately, Cameron Spencer only gave him three invitation cards, one of which he gave to Kenneth Osborne, one to ’Three Billion Sister,’ and the other to his sister and brother-in-law.
These invitations usually allow for a plus-one, so one invitation can invite a whole family.
He wanted to see if his arrogant sister and brother-in-law, along with their son, even dared to show up!
Right, Blake Leaf suddenly remembered that his nephew once acted as Summer Spencer’s escort...
Blake Leaf had been so caught up lately that he forgot about it.
He changed his clothes and hovered around Summer Spencer while she did her makeup.
Summer Spencer couldn’t stand it and said, "If you have something to do, just go out. Walking around like this is making me dizzy."
Blake Leaf stopped and said with a smile, "My sister’s son was quite close to you, wasn’t he? Maybe they’re coming to the wedding today."
"Your sister’s son? Who?" Summer Spencer leaned closer to the mirror to check her lipstick color. She felt it wasn’t red enough to complement her fair skin and beautiful appearance.
"It’s my sister, the boss lady of Chengfeng Real Estate in C City." Blake Leaf laughed as he looked at Summer Spencer, "You wouldn’t have forgotten so quickly, would you?"
"Oh, it’s him..." Summer Spencer’s eyes flickered, and she glanced sideways at Blake Leaf: "We had some business dealings before, but never formally dated. He did try to pursue me though. Why, are you jealous?"
"Really? Then it’s okay." Blake Leaf laughed awkwardly, "I thought you just couldn’t get him, that’s why..."
Summer Spencer blinked, and after a while, she realized what Blake Leaf meant. She angrily threw a comb at him, shouting, "Blake Leaf! Have some self-respect! What kind of men can’t I, Summer Spencer, have? Neither you nor your nephew are any good! I wouldn’t want either of you, and you think you can choose? — Why don’t you go to the bathroom and have a good look at yourself in the mirror!"
Blake Leaf hurriedly dodged and avoided the comb.
Summer Spencer’s words were harsh, and the styling staff looked at Blake Leaf with curiosity, seemingly mocking him.
Blake Leaf couldn’t stand being looked down upon.
Summer Spencer scolded him so fiercely that his anger surged, but remembering it was their wedding day, he swallowed it and said, "Summer, it was my mistake, don’t be angry..."
With that, he quickly ran out.
The two stood facing each other — one inside the dressing room and the other outside. Both looked angry.
Meanwhile, outside the exhibition center, it was a bustling scene.
Major TV stations, online media, and video platforms had set up live streaming stations in prime locations to broadcast the grand event of the evening.
Famous celebrities arrived one after another in luxurious cars.
Every time someone got out of a car, it sparked a wave of cheers from the onlookers and fans.
Even fashion critics began to comment on the guests’ attire and jewelry of the evening and set up polls on social media to vote for the best-dressed.
It felt more like an awards ceremony than a wedding.
After the celebrities had entered, the Spencer Family’s friends and relatives began to arrive.
These guests were business tycoons, bringing their families and sometimes even children, and were not to be streamed live.
The media present showed great restraint and sensibly avoided photographing this group.
Firstly, these people were not from the entertainment industry, which meant they weren’t public figures, and they had the right to privacy.
Secondly, these individuals were wealthy elites who could easily bankrupt a website they disliked, leading to job loss. Naturally, no one wanted to jeopardize their livelihood.
Hence, this group entered without much fanfare online, despite wearing more luxurious attire and jewelry.
Netizens were still immersed in the celebrity arrivals’ atmosphere.
The entrance ceremony took over an hour, with most people having entered by then.
The tables lining the walls of the venue were almost full, with only a few seats near the front altar remaining empty.
They seemed reserved for the most important and closest guests.
After everyone was seated, apart from greeting people they knew or trying to network and establish preliminary connections, they were busy gossiping about which other significant figures hadn’t arrived.
Blake Leaf and Summer Spencer were then called over, instructed to stand in the shadows of the altar and await their cue to appear.
Not long after, the master of ceremonies took the stage.
Everyone was stunned when they saw who it was.
Such a familiar face!
The young host of the national news program at 7 PM—practically a household name. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
He was wearing a black suit and spoke steadily, "Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Spencer Group’s grand event tonight."
"Now please welcome Cameron Spencer, Chairman of the Spencer Group; his wife, Brooke Osborne; and their beloved son, Winter Spencer!"
To the rhythm of smooth, vibrant music, Cameron Spencer and Brooke Osborne approached, looking energetic and dignified.
Brooke Osborne, arm-in-arm with Cameron Spencer, and Cameron holding a chubby little child in his arms.
The family of three wore polite smiles, nodding to people on both sides of the red carpet, and made their way to the front altar.
Blake Leaf saw this and whispered, "Summer, shouldn’t it be you walking down the red carpet, holding your father’s arm and being handed over to me?"
Yet it was Brooke Osborne walking arm-in-arm with Cameron Spencer on the red carpet!
Moreover, she was now officially Mrs. Spencer!
In front of the national audience, was this a way to ingratiate Brooke Osborne?
But why do it now—of all times, at her wedding?!
Summer Spencer’s eyes practically shot daggers, glaring sharply at Brooke Osborne and Winter Spencer.
