Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 729

"Don't kid around. Isn't it beautiful? This outfit was designed by Ruby for me. How do I look? Doesn't it accentuate my graceful figure? Isn't my waistline just wonderful?" Sherri pushed her utensils aside, making a great show of her beauty. She kept changing poses, highlighting her strengths.

Stella was helpless and couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. She knew that complimenting Sherri would only feed her ego.

Nona watched Sherri's endless posing and couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth. Frank had helped Nona with her styling today. Winnie was also giggling from the sidelines.

After Sherri had flaunted herself for quite some time, Stella couldn't take it anymore and nudged her. "Enough already. It's almost time. You better leave. Jasper will be here soon, and I don't want you spying around."

Sherri paused, giving Stella a sidelong glance. "Is that how you see me?"

"Yes."

Sherri couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Nathan and Joy had already been taken to Grand Manor. The elderly didn't appreciate the frivolity of the young, so they opted to sit with friends at the hotel and chat.

As Sherri descended the stairs, she spotted Hackett standing there, knowing he was reluctant. "Hackett, don't be sad. Ruby getting married is a joyous occasion. Jasper put so much effort into Ruby's wedding. He really cares. Our little darling will be very happy."

Hackett composed himself, putting his arm around Sherri's shoulder and taking the utensils from her hands. "I know."

Soon, the groom, Jasper, arrived, and the pre-wedding games quickly came to an end. The reason was simple. Everyone wanted Jasper and Ruby's wedding to start as soon as possible.

After all, everyone knew it wasn't easy for Jasper and Ruby to come this far after so many years of dating.

Without Rose as the bridesmaid, the pre-wedding games were romantic rather than humorous. Olivia arranged a few romantic activities to liven things up, like kissing, eating candy, lyric contests, and so on.

After the games, Jasper, dressed in the suit Ruby had made for him, holding the bouquet, went down on one knee and said excitedly, "My dear, today will be the most unforgettable day of my life. I love you."

There was an excited cheer, laughter, and applause all around.

Ruby smiled tenderly. Behind her, Harper, wearing a black suit with a bow tie, started cheering a bit slowly. "Wow! Wow!"

They were standing very close together. Harper's voice was too loud, causing Liam to instinctively turn away. When Harper stopped cheering, Liam turned back slowly, saying disdainfully, "Could you keep it down?"

Harper draped his hand on Liam's shoulder, teasingly saying, "I'm pumping up the atmosphere here. You know? Clearly, those who haven't been married don't understand."

Liam took Harper's hand off his shoulder with disdain. "Have you been married, then?"

Harper retorted. "At least I've attended friends' weddings. And I've seen the process of weddings on TV dramas."

Liam was left speechless.

Ruby took the bouquet, smiled at Jasper, and the two embraced and kissed. Cyril went to check on the villa decorations and arrived late. Just as he entered with George, they were pushed out and locked outside.

"Are you crazy? Why did you close the door? I'm a guest," Cyril exclaimed outside, annoyed.

George remained calm, only smiling faintly and saying, "It's best if kids don't see."

Cyril was very helpless and wondered, 'I'm an adult, okay? Oh wait, I'm not even eighteen yet. And I haven't taken the SAT yet. I will only be taking the SAT next month.'

Soon the door opened.

Jasper and Ruby sat on the bed, fingers intertwined. Ruby held the bouquet, reluctant to let go, both wearing happy smiles on their faces.

Olivia smiled at Liam, with a suggestive look in her eyes. "Jasper is getting married today. How about you groomsmen sing a song to liven up the atmosphere?"

"You know I can't carry a tune. How about coming up with another request?" Liam's only flaw was his off-key singing, always managing to miss every beat perfectly and creating his own unique melody.

Sophia didn't want any mishaps during Jasper's wedding ceremony, so she suggested. "Then do 100 push-ups."

Liam looked at Sophia bewilderedly and thought, 'Is she kidding me? 100 push-ups? She might as well just kill me.' Harper nudged Liam's shoulder. "Come on. Start. It's just 100 push-ups. It's a piece of cake for Sophia."

George, being kind-hearted, leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed. "I'll count for you."

Liam was speechless and cursed silently. 'Thanks a lot.'

George could read minds and knew what Liam was thinking. Today was Jasper's wedding, and he was in a good mood. He smiled and replied, "You're welcome."

Olivia urged cheerfully, "Hurry up! Don't dawdle! Don't delay Jasper's wedding at the hotel."

Then she added, "The games just ended. The next step is to send representatives to sing. Liam, start doing push-ups. Who's going to sing?"
