Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 285

Chapter 285:.

After entering the house, we went upstairs together. Aaron and James were sitting by the electric heater, watching TV and warming up.

My fight with Derek ended like that.

That night, I turned on my phone and discovered that I had received a bunch of missed call alerts. Some missed calls were from Derek; some were from Louise.

There was one message from my best friend that shocked me.

After reading it over and over, I was still stunned. Louise stated that she and Layne had gotten a marriage certificate and would be having their wedding ceremony tomorrow. She was also asking me to be her maid of honor.

Seeing that I didn’t look well, Derek hugged me and asked me what had happened. I quickly deleted Louise’s message and lied to him that it was because Louise was in a bad mood and was asking me to accompany her.

Derek was feuding with Layne, so he probably wouldn’t allow me to attend her wedding. Besides, Felix was one of his best friends.

I was worried that Derek would tell her the news of the wedding. I couldn’t imagine how devastated Felix would be and what he would do if he found out that Louise was getting married, considering how desperately he was searching for her in his quest to get her back.

Suddenly, Derek snatched the phone from me and placed it on the bedside table. He got on top of me and began to shower me with a passionate kiss.

After sharing a deep, long kiss, he looked up at me breathlessly.

“Honey, I’ve been wanting you since you’ve been gone,” she said.

Then, he began kissing my neck. This time, he was even more excited. The next morning, we said goodbye to James.

Derek, Aaron and I left in two cars.

One was in the front and the other was in the back. I saw James standing in the doorway and watching us leave in the rearview mirror.

I thought that, although Grandpa seemed cheerful, he would probably be sad now that we were leaving. After all, he had been leading a very lively life since we started spending time with him.

Your next adventure is at g al n ovels . con

It was already eleven o’clock in the morning when we arrived at Sousen. I asked Derek to drop me off at Louise’s community.

When he left, I took a cab and headed for the hotel Louise had mentioned. The hotel was nicely decorated and gave off a cheerful atmosphere.

I called Louise and soon found the room. The moment I entered the room, I saw her sitting in front of a mirror in a beautiful white wedding dress, motionless. She must have realized that I was already in the room, but she didn’t look back.

People said that a woman would be the most beautiful on her wedding day, and I believed it to be true. From what I could see in the mirror, Louise was indeed her most beautiful self today. And I must say that the dress she was wearing was the most feminine I had ever worn.

But, although this was supposed to be her happiest day, I could not perceive any happiness on her face. Gently, I put a hand on Louise’s shoulder.

“Lulu, have you really made up your mind?” She smiled at me from the mirror and said, “Even without this wedding ceremony, Layne and I are a legally married couple.

To be honest, I don’t care if there is a wedding ceremony or not. Layne is the one who wanted to do this. He said he didn’t want me to settle for anything less.” I could tell by the way she was smiling that it was forced.

I was really worried about my best friend, so I couldn’t even force myself to smile. “Lulu, all I want is for you to be happy.”

Louise turned around and grabbed my hands. “Eve, I’m not afraid, so why are you afraid? In this society we live in, divorce is the worst thing that could happen to me.”

“Stop it, Louise. That’s not going to happen.” I didn’t want to hear her say such unfortunate things on her big day. “Today is your wedding day, Lulu. Since you’ve decided to marry Layne, and you’ve reached this point, all I can do is hope that you can live a happy life with him and grow old together. What kind of bride would say such ominous words on her wedding day?”

Louise laughed at my comment. “I was just saying it casually. If I end up getting divorced, I’m marrying Tom Cruise.”

Seeing her smile, I smiled too. Now that things had gotten to this point, I figured it wouldn’t do any good to overthink things.

Sometimes, the more unreliable things seemed, the more reliable they actually became. Maybe they could actually be happy. With that, I decided to put the veil on Louise and fixed it in front of the mirror.
