“Kiss me, or do this yourself.” I pretended to be cold and sat up straight.
Sylvia laughed at my childishness and kissed me again and again on the cheek.
“Now, hurry up! Let’s make the walking stick together.”
Wiping the saliva on my cheek, I was about to complain. But she stopped me by kissing my mouth and licking my lips gently.
“Come on, baby. You are the best.”
My Adam’s apple moved up and down slightly as I looked at her beautiful flushed face. Then, I said in a hoarse voice, “Okay, whatever you want, sweetheart.”
Sylvia’s POV
On the day of the wedding, I had wrapped a gift and was ready to leave for the venue with Rufus.
He wore his watch and glanced at the exquisitely packaged walking stick on the table. “Don’t you want to take this with you too?”
I shook my head and walked closer to him to straighten his tie. “No. It’s for Leonard. I’ll find an opportunity to give it to him after Alina’s wedding.”
Rufus nodded and didn’t say anything else. He grabbed the wedding gift and we walked out together.
Alina’s wedding was being held in a manor. Rufus and I had visited it the first day we had arrived at the Silver Moon Pack. It was the largest manor in their pack.
It was surrounded by lavender plants. As the wind blew, people could smell the sweet floral aroma, giving our surroundings a picturesque effect.
The long corridor was decorated with champagne roses delivered by air from the capital city. When we walked down the corridor, we were met with a huge hall. Bright windows adorned every wall, and glazed lights had been placed in front of each window. A wine rack was present in front of each window, which was filled with several types of expensive wines. The hall was filled with well-dressed guests, and the atmosphere was very animated.
It was obvious that Leonard had put a lot of effort into Alina’s wedding.
I couldn’t stop the sigh that escaped my lips and said enviously, “Alina is so lucky to have such a wonderful father. Leonard loves her so much.”
If only my father had even one-tenth of Leonard’s love for me. But unfortunately, he didn’t even want to recognize me.
Rufus wrapped his arms around me lovingly and held my hand. “Honey, you have me by your side.”
I smiled sweetly. When I looked up at him again, I was cheerful. “Yes, I have you and that’s enough for me.”
Rufus tweaked my nose affectionately and said, “I promise I will give you a grander wedding in the future.”
I felt adored and grasped his hand tightly without saying anything.
At this time, Flora called out to me from a distance. She was wearing a pink dress that showed off her small baby bump. Her shoulder-length hair had been pulled back into a ponytail. She looked lively but also gentle.
Following behind her, Warren appeared nervous, as if he was afraid that Flora would get hurt.
Ignoring him, Flora pranced toward me and gave me a hug. “You’re finally here. Warren and I have been waiting for so long.”
I held her and said crossly, “Be careful of the baby you are carrying. You’re going to be a mother now, but you still scamper around like this.”
“Oh God, Sylvia. You don’t start as well. Warren has been nagging me non-stop these past few days. Please give me a break!” Flora covered her ears and pouted, looking very aggrieved.
Warren greeted us with a nod. He then grabbed Flora’s hand and said in a helpless voice, “There are too many people milling around here. Don’t run so much.”
“Yes. Just listen to Warren. Walk slowly.” I was concerned for her and couldn’t stop myself from chiming in.
The wedding was still two hours away. Flora was getting bored. She dragged Warren outside to watch the sheep. The weather was beautiful today, and a huge herd of sheep was outside. Leonard didn’t tell anyone to drive them away. He claimed that since the sheep had come to the manor today, they were also guests. I had to admit that they were certainly unique guests.
Rufus and I sat down to rest our feet in a separate lounge. When Leonard walked in, his face was beaming with joy. After chatting with Rufus, he asked me if I was tired and instructed someone to bring me some snacks.
Alina was still waiting for the wedding to start in the bride’s lounge. As my mind flashed back to her behavior over these past few days, I couldn’t stop the wave of worry that washed over me. I casually asked, “Is Alina doing better now?”
Leonard laughed and pushed the cake in my direction. “She is alright. She has been very docile these past few days. She even cooked soup for me.”
When I heard what he said, I heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a maid walked in and announced that Alina was alone and bored in her lounge. She wanted to invite me to her lounge so we could chat.
I almost choked on my cake when I heard the maid. Did I hear wrong? I had never thought that Alina would want my company one day!
Sylvia’s POV
I was a little surprised as this was the first time that Alina had wanted to talk to me in private.
True, we had issues with each other before, but we had never confronted each other in private.
Later she went back to her pack and I decided to let go. After all, we might never see each other again.
However, I came here for her wedding now, and what happened on the day of the welcome banquet was really disturbing.
Not wanting to have another confrontation with her, I tried avoiding her at all cost.
So, I didn’t expect her to invite me to have a chat in private.
On the other hand, Leonard looked stunned while Rufus frowned with a worried look on his face.
After thinking for a while, I put down the fork and stood up. “Okay. I’ll go.”
We would rarely meet each other in the future anyway. So, why not satisfy Alina’s request?
As if he thought of something, Leonard looked relieved at my answer. “Okay, you can go and have a chat with Alina. Her mother died a long time ago and she has no other friends around her. Since she is going to get married, I don’t think she will do any irrational things again. Maybe she just wants some moral support from a female friend.”
Leonard was right. As it was a big day for her, she wouldn’t do anything stupid.
On the other hand, Rufus was a little worried so he propose, “Why don’t you ask Flora to go with you?”
I looked at him with amusement and said, “No, she is having a great time with Warren right now. Let’s not disturb them.”
