The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 260: His Silence

There’s a particular saying that goes: Before I met you, I had standards for love, but after meeting you, my standard became you; before I met you, I had principles for many things, but after meeting you, I made exceptions.

Whenever principles meet attraction, exceptions keep happening.

Before meeting Leo, Holly had her own set of standards for living, but now they’re gone.

"This must be love."

Cecilia Bennett chuckled softly.

Yes, in the face of love, all principles fade away.

"I’ve already reserved the position of your bridesmaid."

Cecilia Bennett looked at Holly, and said with a gentle laugh.

Her best friend is getting married, how wonderful.

"Too bad I couldn’t be your bridesmaid."

Holly sighed, speaking slowly in a warm voice.

A married woman can’t be a bridesmaid. It’s a lifelong regret not being able to be the bridesmaid for her best friend.

"It’s alright, you’re welcome in the bridal party." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Cecilia Bennett laughed lightly, speaking slowly.

Not being a bridesmaid is okay; you can always be a part of the bridal party.

However, maybe such a day may never come, Cecilia Bennett lowered her gaze, reflecting a bitter smile in her eyes.

Like Holly, she would only marry someone she loves, not marry just for the sake of marriage.

Cecilia Bennett doesn’t know if she can love anyone else apart from Theo Shaw, so she’s unsure what her future will be like.

Holly smiled faintly: "Alright."

The two chatted casually for a while, and it was already evening. Leo booked the restaurant, inviting those close ones to dinner.

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, others were already there, happily chatting away.

"Congratulations, Holly."

Nancy Miller was present, and upon seeing Holly enter, her eyes were filled with radiance.

Didn’t expect Holly to get married so soon, it truly was a surprise.

Holly nodded: "Thank you."

"Our wedding is set for mid-April."

Leo embraced Holly into his arms, announcing with his eyes particularly gentle.

"Wow, the speed is really remarkable."

"I used to wonder when Leo would find a girlfriend, never thought he would marry so quickly."

"You’ve accomplished this in less than a year, truly impressive."

"It’s truly unimaginable."

"The quickest one turned out to be Leo, something I’ve never dared to imagine before."

Noah Raines and Nathaniel Shaw marveled repeatedly, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Among the three of them, Leo getting married first was unguessable, but the reality was he indeed married first.

"I also never expected to meet Holly."

Leo’s gaze fell on Holly, his eyes gentle with a smile.

Yes, he never expected that he would meet Holly in his life, nor did he expect to fall in love with her.

Everything came as such a surprise.

The meal ended without causing any trouble for Leo, but plenty of PDA was seen, especially between Leo and Holly.

"Indeed, having a marriage certificate makes one different."

Noah Raines reflected, his eyes filled with envy.

"You have someone by your side."

Cecilia Bennett glanced at Nancy Miller, speaking slowly.

Indeed, being in a relationship makes people somewhat different.

Noah Raines used to be carefree, but after having Nancy Miller as his girlfriend, he became much more stable.

Having a partner indeed can change a person.

"Nancy isn’t of legal age yet, but we’re not in a hurry, we’re taking our time."

Noah Raines glanced at Nancy Miller, gently curling the corners of his lips with a tender smile.

He knows that with Nancy Miller, things must be taken slowly; rushing wouldn’t gain her agreement.

It doesn’t matter; he’s not in a hurry to marry, as long as the person he marries is Nancy Miller, it’s fine.

"Yes, we’re not in a rush."

Nancy Miller smiled, agreeing.

Actually, seeing Holly and Leo getting married, she felt envious, but she couldn’t get past the mental block.

She couldn’t bring herself to marry as early as Leo and Holly because she fears marriage and feels uncertain about the future.

"Nancy, make sure to keep some time open to join my bridal party."

Holly looked at Nancy Miller and said.

There can be only one bridesmaid, but the bridal party can have many.

"Alright."

Nancy Miller nodded, though she really wants to be Holly’s bridesmaid, she knows there’s only one, and Cecilia Bennett grew up with Holly, their bond is definitely deeper than hers.

"Should we inform Miles Miller about your marriage?"

Nancy Miller looked at Holly, considering for a long time before slowly asking.

She still hasn’t called Miles Miller her father, directly using his name.

She doesn’t understand this etiquette, she’s unsure whether to inform her biological father.

"It’s not necessary; he didn’t raise me."

"If it were you, you should inform him since he did raise you."

Holly spoke slowly, her voice quite gentle.

Though not fond of Miles Miller, certain things should be done right to avoid gossip.

She grew up in Arkenfall, far from Bexley, and no one knew her biological father is Miles Miller, so whether she informs him or not doesn’t matter.

It’s different for Nancy Miller; everyone knows she’s the young lady of the Miller Family and Miles Miller’s daughter. If Nancy Miller gets married without Miles Miller knowing, people would talk badly of Nancy.

Even if divorced, a daughter should at least inform her father about significant events like this.

"Alright, I understand."

Nancy Miller nodded, indicating she understood.

Regarding etiquette, she’s not as knowledgeable as Holly.

The meal quickly ended, people mostly dispersed, Holly and Leo didn’t drive home but chose to walk.

The restaurant wasn’t far from where they lived, just about a ten-minute walk, perfect for an after-dinner stroll.

"Brother, you should mention our marriage to your mother."

As they walked, Holly looked at Leo and spoke seriously.

She’s unsure about the conflict between Leo and his mother, but she can see that Leo’s mother genuinely cares for him.

Perhaps it’s truly out of necessity.

Feelings can be mended.

Leo fell silent, not responding to Holly’s words for a long time.

Leo usually doesn’t refuse Holly’s words, but today he remained silent, unusually silent.
