Chapter 428: Surprise For The Old Man
Colin took his daughter to the altar, where the groom showed no signs of stepping forward and taking the bride’s hand. Colin left Grace at the altar and returned to his place next to his wife, while Grace walked ahead and stood facing the groom, expecting him to look at her and admire how beautiful she looked. But the groom didn’t even show any interest as she stood facing him, waiting for the ceremony to go on.
Grace looked around the wedding hall, but there was no sign of Natalie. She scoffed inwardly. ’Seems like all that brave act of hers was fake. In the end, she is still hurt and embarrassed to see her husband marrying another woman.’
The marriage officiant recited the wedding vows as entire hall was silent with only mild music playing in the back ground. All the guests focussed on the bride and groom, witnessing them taking the vows.
"Mr. Aiden Riverdale, are you willing to take Ms. Grace Hartz as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
"I do," the groom said.
"Ms. Grace Hartz, are you willing to take Mr. Aiden Riverdale as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
"I do," Grace said happily.
She was worried that he would back down from this wedding, but it was surprising he didn’t—and now he was hers. Her husband.
It was time to exchange rings. Grace was happy to see he didn’t have the previous ring on his finger—the one Natalie had given him. ’Finally, he gave up on her for a wife like me. He threw away that cheap ring.’
