Chapter 103
“Selena, try saying one more word!” Everett suddenly snapped at her.
Selena was caught off guard, her heart pounding in her chest. She clutched it, wondering why she couldn’t just speak her mind. Was Everett having his special monthly time as well?
Lately. Everett was like a walking powder keg, ready to explode at any moment, and she couldn’t figure out why! In small towns like
in theirs, gossip spread faster than wildfire. If they started arguing here, it would be the talk of the town in no time.
Selena took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She spoke to him evenly. This place isn’t quite like the bustling Newport you’re used to. Can you just make do for now?”
“No.
Selena felt her temper rising. This was the best bridal shop in town, and it was what it was. tomorrow.)
guy fussing about??
he nitpicking like there was no
Seriously, as the bride, she wasn’t even complaining. What was
it was this
“So, what do you want?” she asked, eyes scanning the room. “If you want to cancel the banquet, fine by me. We worry, I’ll pay for it myself!”
Can cover the cost. Don’t
After all, the neighbors had already witnessed her husband come home yesterday, which was enough to quiet them down.
Everett saw right through her and ignored her, pulling out his phone to make a call.
By 6 pm. Derick showed up at the Irwin house with an entire styling team.
Selena was stunned. She knew this team all too well. They y were the ones who always did her hair and makeup whenever she accompanied Everett to events. She never imagined they’d be flown in for a small–town banquet.
Well, Everett always liked to make a statement. Let him have his way if that was what he wanted.
Grace and Marian were initially shocked, but
ut once they understood what it meant, they were thrilled. This showed that Everett genuinely valued Selena and wanted the best for her 2
The team didn’t just work on Selena. They also gave Grace and Marian a makeover. Despite her age, Grace couldn’t stop admiring herself in the mirror, repeatedly asking Marian how she looked
Selena couldn’t help but smile at this sight. Suddenly, Everett’s fuss didn’t seem so bad after all. It had been a while since she’d seen her grandma this happy, especially after Selena lost her parents.
At 8 pm, the banquet officially kicked off. Grace had only planned for a few tables, inviting close friends and family. But Everett went all out, renting the entire hotel for the night and letting everyone join the feast for free,&
The news spread like wildfire, and soon, a crowd gathered to join the fun.
Everett was in high spirits that night. Normally, he wouldn’t bother with toasts from many high–profile folks, but tonight, he clinked glasses with everyone. And he meant it. It’s not just taking a polite sip.!!
By the end of the night, he was quite tipsy, barely able to walk straight. Derick had to help him back to his room with some effort
Grace was over the moon. Her day couldn’t have gone better. Everyone buttered her up, saying how handsome and wealthy her son–in–law was and how well he treated Selena. They said Selena was lucky to have snagged such a good man.
Holding Selena’s hand, Grace’s eyes crinkled with laughter, and she said, “Selena, now I can rest easy knowing you’re in good hands. You two must take care of each other. If he’s busy, you need to be understanding and don’t be too stubbom. A good husband like this is ram Hold on to him tight.”
