Chapter 45 The Grand Wedding 3 Octavia's Collapse
Dominic went directly to Cecilia's room.
People in the room all looked at them with envy.
In the eyes of them, Dominic was always gentle and courteous.
Cecilia was extremely beautiful.
They stood together like a painting.
Dominic looked at Cecilia affectionately.
He knelt down, holding the bouquet in front of Cecilia and asked, "Cecilia, would you marry me?"
Cecilia had not agreed yet.
Someone excitedly shouted, "Marry him, marry him!"
Cecilia smiled.
Her smile was beautiful, even made Dominic a little dizzy.
He knew Cecilia was beautiful, but he found her rather boring. Perhaps because she was too obedient. However, at this moment, he felt a strange attraction.
He felt that Cecilia was different from his impression of her. Now, Cecilia made him feel a desire, a desire to conquer her!
He remained composed, able to disguise everything seamlessly.
Cecilia took the bouquet, saying, "Yes."
Cecilia did not say, "I do."
Her response was not clear.
Dominic stood up and approached her.
Cecilia turned her face away, avoiding him.
Dominic thought she was shy.
In his memory, Cecilia was a woman without charm, so he didn't mind.
He bent down and directly lifted her up, then left the bedroom.
People followed behind Dominic and Cecilia, in a grand procession.
Cecilia didn't even actively embrace Dominic's neck. She just let him lift her as he pleased.
Dominic put Cecilia into the main wedding car, while other guests also got in the cars.
The convoy headed straight to the wedding venue.
The wedding was set in the most luxurious hotel in Serenovia City, with a palace-style banquet hall, already well-decorated. When Cecilia and Dominic arrived, many guests were already there, making the banquet hall lively.
Cecilia was taken to the dressing room to change into her wedding gown.
The wedding gown was not beautiful either.
Seraphina, upon seeing it, couldn't help but feel a bit disdainful. "Cecilia, Dominic's taste..."
Cecilia didn't mind.
Instead, she looked at Seraphina, who had already changed into her bridesmaid dress, and whispered in her ear, "Could you go out and see if Alaric has come?"
"Cecilia!" Seraphina was taken aback.
What was Cecilia thinking?
"Don't ask why, just do it." Cecilia urged.
Seraphina pouted and reluctantly left the dressing room.
She walked around the hall, but didn't find Alaric.
Regardless of whether Alaric liked Cecilia or if there were too many women, with their complicated relationship, Alaric wouldn't have come to Cecilia's wedding.
As she looked around, she confirmed that she only saw Cassius and not Alaric.
She went to the reception area at the entrance of the banquet hall and saw many reporters there.
At that moment, the Lockharts, along with the Kingsleys, were answering questions from the reporters at the entrance.
"Mrs. Lockhart, do you have anything to say about your daughter's wedding today? Are you sentimental?" the reporter asked.
"Yes," Genevieve replied, "My beloved daughter is getting married, of course, I will miss her. But I know Dominic is a good boy, and I trust he will take good care of Cecilia."
“Mrs. Lockhart, I heard that you have been a full-time housewife. Could you share your secrets of being a successful housewife and make your husband love you so much, and raise such an outstanding daughter?"
"There has been a bias against full-time housewives. In fact, being a full-time housewife is also a profession. Everyone's family situation is different, which leads to different family roles." Genevieve answered each question with great poise and depth, not appearing shallow or arrogant, but rather very tactful.
Octavia, standing nearby, was envious.
She had dressed up intentionally today, aware that there would be media present. She had chosen a sophisticated dress to try to outshine Genevieve's beauty, especially after the incident the night before that still left her feeling frustrated. However, to her surprise, the reporters seemed to have conspired as they kept bombarding Genevieve with questions, completely ignoring her.
Genevieve's taste was unexpectedly good.
Her elegant deep blue dress today, with exquisite embroidery that looked valuable yet not showy, paired with a white fur shawl, made her look noble and elegant. In contrast, Octavia's light blue dress, overly extravagant, made her appear somewhat vulgar.
Octavia tried to interject several times, but the reporters only gave her a few perfunctory responses before focusing all their attention on Genevieve.
After Genevieve's extravagant birthday banquet in Serenovia City caused a sensation, her status in the city's upper-class circles had been on the rise. Some individuals in the high society group Octavia was part of even expressed a desire for her to invite Genevieve to join them.
Octavia vehemently disagreed.
She would prefer to die than to let Genevieve outshine her in prestige. When she received a call from Cecilia, Seraphina promptly responded and went back to the dressing room. She enjoyed gossip, and seeing all the reporters' focus on Genevieve and Octavia's slightly resentful expression, she felt strangely pleased.
Returning to the dressing room, Seraphina told Cecilia, "I searched the entire area and only saw Cassius."
Cecilia felt a bit sad.
Would Alaric be absent like in her previous life?
She felt uneasy.
Although she knew he wouldn't come, she still held a glimmer of hope that he would show up.
I just saw your mom at the entrance; she's much more elegant than Dominic's mother!" Seraphina couldn't help but share, recalling the scene just now. "How did I ever think Octavia was so classy? She seems quite ordinary in front of your mom! Anyway, I don't really like Octavia; even though she appears dignified and generous, she still seems a bit too arrogant. Now being compared to Mr. Lockhart like that, it's so satisfying!
Cecilia also felt happy.
In the previous life, Octavia had always bullied Genevieve.
In this life, she vowed to make Octavia feel ashamed! She silently made this vow.
Suddenly, she heard Dominic's voice outside the door, "Cecilia, are you ready? The wedding is about to begin."
There was no need to prepare, because the wedding was not taking place.
