Chapter 84 Wedding (3)_1
Finally, the father and daughter stood before Glades Horne.
Chris Bluen smiled contentedly and, with full trust, handed Julia Bluen’s hand into Glades Horne’s, saying, "Julia, I entrust her to you."
Glades Horne gripped Julia Bluen’s hand tightly, nodded solemnly, and exchanged a glance with Chris Bluen—a look that signified the promise between men.
The two of them turned to face the priest, listening to his blessing. Glades Horne’s grip on Julia’s hand grew tighter; he was holding onto his happiness with all his might.
"And now, the bride and groom shall exchange rings," the priest said with a benevolent smile, admiring the perfectly matched handsome groom and beautiful bride.
The diamond rings that the elderly lady had specially presented to the young couple were brought out, and the two of them slipped the rings onto each other’s fingers. A small diamond ring bound their lives together.
From the moment Julia Bluen appeared, James Horne’s gaze had stealthily fixed upon her. Everyone knew Julia Bluen was beautiful, and a woman is at her most beautiful when she becomes a bride. She had a tall, slender figure, graceful posture, and a pretty face. Dressed in an exquisite, perfectly fitting wedding gown, she became the most beautiful woman in James’s eyes.
It was a pity... the man standing beside her was not him.
The two people he valued most had come together, excluding him from their world. This sensation of isolation felt like millions of ants gnawing at his heart—an agonizing discomfort.
When the priest announced, "The groom may now kiss the bride," thunderous applause erupted. However, James Horne, in his discomfort, turned his gaze away, unable to watch the scene that pierced his eyes.
