Chapter 165: Smooth Sailing II
"Yes, Grandpa. It’ll happen a month later, on Saturday. Matteo and I are planning to have an evening banquet," Amelia said.
For every other young couple, planning a luxurious wedding of the century would’ve taken at least half a year. However, Amelia had everything settled for a date scheduled one month later.
It was lucky that the Hawthornes were so powerful and wealthy that time constraints no longer meant anything― it was nothing a few extra zeroes couldn’t immediately solve.
Truthfully, she would’ve loved to have the spare time to slowly plan her wedding. But due to her grandfather’s declining health and his wishes to see her get married, Amelia had no choice.
