Chapter 754 Trying on the Wedding Dress
The next day, Emma carried a backpack full of snacks to school.
Then she dumped the snacks on Cornelius's desk.
Cornelius stared at her in a daze.
Emma patted her chest like an adult and said, "From now on, I'll bring you snacks every day. Don't be sad anymore. I'm sorry for telling on you to Mr. Grayson yesterday."
"And if you have anything that's bothering you, you can tell me, Ethan, Sam, or Josie. We'll all help you figure it out and cheer you up."
"Keeping it all to yourself will only make it worse."
Cornelius looked at the snacks, then at her, and then he raised his hand and swept all the snacks onto the floor.
Emma was stunned, feeling like her good intentions had been misplaced.
Emma's eyes quickly turned red, and she pointed at him, both angrily and sadly.
"You, you, you... are too much!"
Ethan and Sam saw Emma being bullied and rushed over to protect her.
"Cornelius, you can't bully Emma!" Ethan said with a strong presence, already showing signs of Gabriel's demeanor.
Cornelius panicked a bit, not because he was afraid of Ethan, but because he saw Emma's eyes turning red as if she was about to cry. At that moment, he realized he might have done something wrong.
Emma tugged at Ethan.
"Forget it, Ethan. I'm not sad. He's sick."
Emma squatted down to pick up the snacks.
Ethan gave Cornelius a warning glare, then he and Sam helped Emma pick up the snacks.
Josie had studied late last night and came to class late today. Seeing Emma's red eyes, she quickly asked what happened, and Emma briefly explained.
During class, Cornelius was in a daze again.
Although Cornelius didn't like the snacks, Emma still insisted on bringing them. But next time, she got smarter. She brought one snack a day and put it on Cornelius's desk. After class, she would talk to him, even if he didn't respond, she would talk to herself.
Gradually, because Cornelius didn't talk or play with others and he was very isolated, everyone privately gave him the nickname "Mute."
Rebecca was very concerned about Cornelius at first, but gradually, she couldn't do anything about it and stopped caring.
Cornelius's parents never showed up at school. It was said that even the principal didn't know who his parents were, only that they had a significant background.
Every day after school, only a nanny came to pick up Cornelius.
Emma had a new goal and no longer clung to Ethan and Sam to play games. Josie continued to focus on her studies.
Every night, Emma would share with Sophia what she had done to help Cornelius that day.
With such a strange boy around Emma, Gabriel had to investigate thoroughly.
"This child seems to be related to the Clifford family of City S."
"The Clifford family?" Gabriel pondered, "The Clifford family, the one with a century-old cultural heritage, the leading family in City S?"
"Yes."
Cornelius was related to the Clifford family but didn't have the Clifford surname. Could he be the child of the Clifford family's daughter?
If so, Alex should be able to find out.
Clearly, there were some secrets here.
Gabriel wasn't interested in these high-society secrets, but he could be sure that Cornelius's presence wouldn't threaten the safety of the three children, so he was relieved.
The wedding dress was finally ready.
On the weekend, Sophia and Caroline tried on their wedding dresses at Fusion Dynamics Corporation.
Sophia and Caroline's wedding dresses were not only designed by Celeste but also personally sewn by her.
"Because of you, I get to wear a wedding dress designed and sewn by a top designer like Celeste. This is something I can brag about for a lifetime," Caroline said happily.
Sophia replied, "My grandmother has long considered you as our family."
Caroline giggled, and they went into the fitting room together to change into their wedding dresses.
At the same time, Gabriel and Nicholas had already changed into their groom's suits.
Their suits were designed to match the wedding dresses, with a touch of vintage elements but still retaining modern romance.
When Nicholas stood up, he was about the same height as Gabriel, but Nicholas was a bit slimmer.
Gabriel and Nicholas looked at each other, feeling a bit awkward.
Their brides hadn't come out yet.
"Mr. Watson, your leg is healed?" To ease the awkwardness, Gabriel started a conversation.
Nicholas nodded slightly, "I can walk normally now."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
The awkward atmosphere lingered.
Celeste and Ruth sat on the sofa, drinking tea, watching Gabriel and Nicholas from a distance.
"Young and promising," Ruth agreed with a nod.
Ten minutes later, Sophia and Caroline finally came out.
As soon as they appeared, they successfully captured everyone's attention.
Sophia and Caroline's wedding dresses were different. Sophia had a flowing skirt with a shawl on top, making her look like a classical and elegant lady.
Caroline's dress was more form-fitting, with her perfect back half-exposed, the veil falling on her back, faintly visible, and the skirt trailing on the ground, making her look like a modern socialite.
The design of the wedding dresses showcased their individual strengths.
Sophia and Caroline were stunned by themselves in the mirror, their eyes showing amazement.
"Sophia, you look stunning," Caroline exclaimed.
Sophia replied, "You too, so beautiful."
Nicholas walked over to Caroline, couldn't help but hold her hand, his eyes full of affection.
"Caroline," his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
Caroline was his bride, the most beautiful bride.
Gabriel also walked over to Sophia, raised his hand to gently caress her cheek, full of tenderness.
"I want to hide you away."
Sophia blushed and smiled. "You look very handsome too."
Gabriel and Nicholas each held their brides.
Ruth took out a camera and captured the moment.
After trying on the wedding dresses, the two couples decided to take their wedding photos at their own villas.
As the wedding day approached, all the invitations were sent out.
Vincent, who was far away overseas, received the invitation from Sophia.
The invitation included a photo of Gabriel and Sophia. Looking at the happy Sophia in the photo, Vincent no longer felt pain, only relief.
This was the Sophia he had once loved deeply.
Seeing her happy made him feel happy too.
Since going abroad, he had been busily working to numb himself, and over time, he finally let go of his feelings.
From now on, he was just her friend.
Vincent replied to Sophia's email, telling her he had received the invitation and would attend her and Gabriel's wedding on time.
At the same time, Jake also received the news of Sophia and Gabriel's wedding.
He didn't have an invitation, but someone told him.
Gavin came to Country M on a business trip and visited Jake in prison.
"Jake, you should let it go."
Jake looked at the sweet photos of Sophia and Gabriel on Gavin's phone.
He wanted to smile but he couldn't.
Hadn't he already decided to give her his blessings?
Perhaps it was because he couldn't bear to watch her be happy with his own eyes.
