The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2115

"..."

Roger and Stella exchanged a glance, while Kenneth and Emily did the same.

Roger and Stella had already signed the papers, so aside from the formal ceremony, they were officially husband and wife.

Kenneth and Emily's globally televised proposal was already old news.

"Stella is going to grad school, so we'll be out of the country for a long time."

Roger served a bowl of soup for his wife, his tone calm. "We've decided to skip the traditional ceremony and just have a destination wedding."

"What?"

Hearing this, Samantha nearly lost her mind. She glared at Roger, her voice sharp with disapproval. "A woman only gets one wedding in her life, and you're just canceling it? Aren't you shortchanging her?"

She had been planning how grand it would be for months.

The budget was already set.

Because Stella had suffered so much hardship growing up, Samantha had sworn to give her the most spectacular wedding possible to silence any gossip.

"Are you just trying to avoid the hassle?" The more Samantha thought about it, the angrier she got, ready to tear into Roger.

"Mom."

Seeing Samantha blame Roger, Stella quickly grabbed her hand, her face paling slightly. "It's not Roger's fault. I was the one who asked not to have a big wedding."

"You asked for it?"

Stella's words caught Samantha off guard, and she blinked in confusion.

"..."

Charlotte lazily lifted her eyes, a faint smile touching her lips.

"Yes." Stella nodded, explaining patiently. "I'm not a fan of massive crowds. A lot of things are in the past now, and if we hold a massive wedding, those old rumors will definitely be dragged up again..."

Even though the Gates family fiercely protected her, those events had still happened.

You couldn't silence everyone.

"Oh, sweetheart..."

Samantha's expression softened into one of deep regret. She genuinely hadn't factored that in.

"We're legally married, so a ceremony isn't that important to me. Besides..." Stella glanced back at Roger, a serene, blissful smile gracing her features. "I love how things are right now."
