"Fine, I'll go."
Silently, Catherine pushed Granny Jones, who was in a wheelchair, out of the room and toward the banquet hall. They would be sitting at the same table as the Jones couple and Ethan.
However, after taking her seat, she noticed Wesley sitting at the other main table reserved for immediate relatives.
A look of confusion spread across her face. He claimed to be distant relatives to both these families but why was he sitting together with Elder Lyons and Granny Lyons?
Not to mention Shaun. He actually did not attend the ceremony although he was Ethan's uncle.
Quite the contrary, Janet and Cindy, who were not even that familiar with Rebecca, showed up.
Catherine laughed internally. Rebecca had surely gone all out to build friendly relationships with people she did not like.
The engagement ceremony commenced at 12.12 p.m.
The emcee went up the stage to thank everyone for their presence. Finally, both Ethan and Rebecca were invited up the stage.
Rebecca, who was dressed in red, stood next to Ethan who was wearing a black suit. The two of them looked perfect together.
The guests began commenting on the couple.
"I heard that First Young Lady Jones was raised on the farm yet she's elegant and poised. No wonder Ethan has fallen for her.”
"There was a rumor going around last year that Ethan was going to be engaged to Catherine. I'd surely have picked Rebecca too if I were in his shoes. A good personality triumphs above all."
"You’re right."
Those noises grazed past Catherine's ears like gusts of wind, but she chose to ignore them and focused on feeding her grandmother instead.
However, what rendered her speechless was that Cindy was the person who delivered the rings onstage in the end.
She said jokingly into the microphone, "Actually, I've known Ethan for about seven or eight years now and he's like a great big brother to me. Many girls used to g o after him back in high school but not one among them caught his eyes. I thought no one ever would, until he met Rebecca and fell for her at first sight."
