BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 224
Chapter 224
The whole Wilson Palace was decorated with red roses and white tulips, adding the air of harmony to the magnificent building.
The stage was arranged in the massive garden for our wedding ceremony.
As I peoked through the window, everyone was busy to ensure all the arrangements were in place, Henry was in charge of all
the activities, so his anxiety was touching the roof. I could see him shouting at anyone who slacked off a bit.
This venue was the gift of Bright’s mom for us. She asked us to hold the ceremony here. The memory of our meeting her at the
stadium’s stands flashed across my mind as I sat before the wall size mirror.
“I have accepted Laura as my daughter–in–law, but this ring is something she borrowing from me. It will be hers when she gives
birth to your son.”
Although she appeared strict, her keen participation in our wedding arrangements warmed our hearts. She became a daily visitor
at my villa to discuss the issues.
“Laura will live with us in our family’s Palace for to meet her.”

The warmth of love behind her apparently sharp words healed the lacerations deep in my soul. Mrs. Wilson treated me like a
daughter I always Wanted. She didn’t let me take any responsibility and booked spa treatments for me; her every considerate
gesture touched my heart. Now I realized how Bright was a true gentleman. He was raised by an ideal woman who taught him to
respect others.
Deep in my thoughts, I was staring at my reflection in the mirror mindlessly when my little angels‘ gleeful voices brought me back
to reality. They ran towards me.
“Mommy, you are looking so pretty.”
Little Jane was dressed up in a pink flared princess frock with all the glitters, #bbons, and frills. She was holding a beautiful white
basket with a red ribbon tied as a bow tie and rose petals in it. I poked her cheek playfully.
“So, my flower girl is all set.”
“I am ready too, mommy!” My prince, Zoe, was all suited up in his black and white three–piece suit with two black boxes. I
caressed his head softly.
“And my Zoe has the rings. Am I right?”
“Yes, mommy.” Zoe spoke at once, “When will you come out, mommy? Daddy is waiting for you.”
His query reminded me about my styling, I was almost ready after makeup. According to Bright’s mom, I must have four things
Something new: I bought diamond earrings for my white long gown.
Something borrowed: I had Wilson’s family heirloom.
Something blue: Henry gifted me a blue topaz bracelet.
But the only problem was something old, I couldn’t find an article matching the vibe of this special day. It could be an old lip color
or shoes etc. However, I wanted something of royal caliber to complete the tradition.
As the time was running, I ended my quest and got up to wear my veil. That was when a gentle knock on the door thumped my
heart. I raised my head to greet the visitors and forgot to breathe for a moment. The sight of two familiar yet forgotten people of
my past sucked the air from my lungs. An involuntary gasp escaped my mouth,
“Mom? Dad?”
Reeling in astonishment, I took two steps back as my brain wasn’t ready to process the shock of the century. Their unannounced
arrival flipped my

stomach, shaking me la the core.
Mom and dad smiled, stepping closer and spoke warmly,
“Congratulations on your big day, Laurs.“
I was struck speechless in response, gawking at them wide eyed. My mom her and greeted my little angels.
“You must be Zoe. And this beautiful princess is Jane.
Hello, my dear grandkids, I am your granilma.”
“And I am your grandpa.” Dad immediately added to her statement and stroke my little angels heads lovingly. Their collective
response broke my trance as they sang in unison.
“Yes, we are your grandkids. Nice to meet you, granny,”
Jane and Zoe had seen my parents‘ pics, so it wasn’t difficult to recognize the But my heart was a mess, stinging me with their
prolonged ignorance. A complaint slipped from my mouth as mom came to me.
“So, you remember to have a daughter other than Henry. It’s quite surprising
Mom paused for a moment, observing me from head to toe, then she said. “Yeah. Just like you remember to have parents other
than your dear brother Henry.”
Mom’s reply amused my dad, he commented, “Like mother, like daughter. Who says you don’t inherit good traits from your
parents?”
Well, I didn’t know that answering your neglected child like that was a funny thing. But my mom’s words didn’t let me dwell on it
as she spoke in a -friendly way.
“We admit that there are a lot of mistakes on our part, but you didn’t confide in us about your hardships, Laura. It was so painful
to hear about you in the news and seeing our grandkids from afar. We have missed you so much.”
“And waited for you to come too. You didn’t even send the invitation to your wedding, Laura.” Dad raised his point, “All the
notable families of Lake city are invited, except us. Isn’t it wrong?”
It was indeed rude to not send the invitation card, but I thought they would never bother to spare a moment for me. I held no
However, this myth was busted by my mom’s next statement as she said, “At least, you are marrying a great guy. Bright is really
a persuasive speaker far better than Leo.”
What? Bright?
It turned out that when I was busy following his mom’s rules, he went behind my back and met my parents, convincing them to
forget the grievances of the past for our new journey. His efforts to make me day memorable brought tears to my eyes as my dad
spoke,
“When he told us about the wedding, I couldn’t stop myself. After all, I will walk you down the aisle.”
“Dad!” Disregarding our differences, I clung to his chest and cried out, “Thanks for coming, dad. I missed you too.”
The years of longing flowed out of my eyes as my mom and dad sandwiched me in a hug, overwhelming me with their blessings.
My mom gave me a diamond necklace and sniffled.
“This is your grandma’s present for my marriage. Take it as your something old, Laura. May God bless you with every happiness
possible in the world.”
Wearing my mom’s token of love, I waited with my dad for the cue as firstly, Jane walked out spreading flowers throughout the
long passageway between the chairs where the guests sat. She went ahead and stood with her daddy on the stage. Bright was a
bit nervous as a groom.
Zoe followed next, carrying the ring boxes on a small red cushion. A soft smile played on his lips as he strode with spine straight.
He took small bows to guests who cheered him up. Arriving at the stage, he stood beside Bright, winking at him. He beamed
down at them and parted the

The band played a melodious symphony as all eyes focused on the entrance. My dad led me to the stage proudly, his tall and
majestic figure gained admiration of the guests in a single glance. But my breath was lost somewhere in my chest as all I could
see was my charming husband, dressed elegantly in a white three–piece suit. Ile watched me with a smile as I reached the stage
gracefully.
Dad helped me up and then Bright offered his hand like a gentleman.
“Take care of my daughter, Bright.”
“I will, Sir!” As I accepted it with a gracious smile, Bright swore, illuminating my world. My little angels looked at me in awe as we
took our positions.
We had prepared our vows, so the priest let us express our sentiments. He spoke at the end,
“May your union be blessed for you and your family. Rings please!”
We exchanged the rings, strengthening our relationship with the sacred vows of matrimony. I couldn’t help but glance at that ruby
ring that held so much meaning, screaming that I was married again.
Unbelievable! Wasn’t it?
After that, the priest didn’t keep us waiting and announced happily, “With the power invested in me from God and the general
council of Lakon city, 1 announce you as husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Bright had this hungry, insatiable glint in his eyes that my heart skipped a beat. He pulled me closer as his silky, smooth whisper
echoed in my ears.
“Welcome to my life, Mrs. Laura Bright Wilson.”
