The wedding was going smoothly.
When the marriage officiant announced that the groom could kiss the bride, Lionel held Karen Joy's hand, lifted the veil gently, and caressed her face, giving her a kiss.
At the wedding, there were many people watching. However, Lionel was behaving like a boisterous teenager. Once he kissed Karen Joy, he couldn't stop.
"Brother Lionel, there are many people watching us," Karen Joy pushed him slightly and reminded him in a low voice. If this went on, they would definitely become the center of gossip for the day.
"Karen, do you know how beautiful you are?" Even though he had been looking at her for so many years, he was still amazed by her beauty every time he saw her.
Especially today, she looked like an angel who had accidentally fallen from the heavens, when she walked out in her white wedding gown. Every time Lionel looked at Karen Joy, he felt even more enthusiastic.
It was a wonderful feeling! Hurray! Lionel cheered in his heart. From that day on, he could finally have her, love her, cherish her and spoil her to the end of time.
"Brother Lionel, you are very handsome too." In her eyes, Lionel was different that day from other days in the past. He was glowing from head to toe.
This man had always been excellent and she had always admired him. From that day onward, he would officially become her husband, the person she would spend the rest of her life with.
Their eyes were locked on to each other. They didn't need to say anything. They understood each other just by looking into each other's eyes.
Their fingers were intertwined and they gave a sincere bow to their relatives and friends who were present at the wedding. They thanked them for being the witnesses to their love.
On the stage, the newly-weds were wrapped in a blanket of love. In a corner beneath the stage, Jayden glanced at them in a daze, observing the dazzling bride on her wedding day.
In the past, Jayden had wanted to tear them apart. But at present, he only wanted to give them his deepest blessings. As her elder brother, Jayden wanted Lionel to protect Karen Joy on behalf of himself, so that she could continue living like a carefree princess.
Jayden said quietly, "Karen Joy, you must be happy for the rest of your life. Don't let your family worry about you. Then, Grandma, who has gone to heaven, will rest in peace. I think grandma must still be here, and she is also witnessing your wedding."
"Jayden..."
He heard a gentle voice suddenly beside him. He turned around and saw his mother, Karen Daly, standing beside him. "Mom, what's the matter?"
Karen smiled gently and said, "We are all very happy that you came back to see Grandma, to see her through the last journey. It's great that you could attend Karen Joy's wedding as well."
"Mom, I am also a part of the Kyle family. Grandma loves me so much, so of course, I would come back to see her." He looked at Karen Joy on the stage again. "I am also Karen Joy's brother, and I hope that she will lead a blessed life."
"Jayden, I'm really relieved." Karen had long known how her son felt about Karen Joy in the past. Now that she realized he had thought through the matter, she felt a sense of gratification.
Jayden blamed himself and said, "Mom, in the past, there were some things that I didn't do well enough and I wasn't comprehensive enough in handling certain matters. I caused you to worry about me."
His mother shook her head and said, "No, you haven't done anything wrong. On the contrary, you've always done a good job. You've set a great example for Karen Joy and Little Precious."
