70. GETTING MARRIED CELINE'S POV After a brief period of disbelief, Mr. Taylor eventually managed to muster a smile and put out his hand forto shake, and | could feel Sasha’s gaze burning towards me. “Celine... right?” “Yeah...” | nodded in response and extended my hand to shake his calloused one. “Mr. Taylor, it’s no surprise that | recognize you so easily. Are you the person who had a conversation with my father most recently when he was... beatingin his house?” | asked him, and he reluctantly gavea yes.
Right! It was typically the person who was closest to you who ended up betraying you in the end.
| couldn’t help but cr ack a grin as | returned to my customary position next to Jake. Just at that moment, Mrs.
Anderson made her announcement for her son to take the stage.
As Sebastian approached, he hid his smile and resumed the typic lack of interest that characterized him. | heard gasps coming from the girls when they saw Sebastian’s handsappearance. It sounded like they were afraid their hearts would leap out of their chests when they laid eyes on him.
The moment Sebastian took his place next to Brylee, a picture-perfect moment was instantly created. An attractive man and a stunning woman were the perfect pair, a marriage made in heaven.
“Everyone... we want to take this opportunity to announce that beginning today, when the flowers bloom, our son will be getting married to the one and only Miss Brylee Lauren!” The group as a whole exhaled deeply, and | could clearly make out +25 BONUS what the woman at the very back was saying to the person standing next to her.

Isn't it that it would usually take a year for a wealthy family to proceed from engagement to marriage?” “Yes...” was the response given by the other woman. “Had it really only been three months since they had met, and now they're getting married?” “That's okay...” | heard another small voice who joined their conversation. “Brylee hasn't graduated yet but she had so many awards in school. Moreover, she has a great influence on social media...” “She is such a talented woman, coupled with the wealth of the Lauren family, and is indeed a suitable match for Sebastian Anderson...” | heard them giggle and | couldn't help but think that Mr. William Anderson was trying to hurry up and bring his daughter-in-law into the family so he could start a new family tradition. Simply because he believed that my sister was a positive role model for Cynthia.
Almost immediately, there was a rousing round of applause.
| could see from where | was standing that Brylee was completely shocked by the announcement, probably delighted that the wedding was approaching very quickly. She looked up at the man next to her and | followed her gaze.
Sebastian was not doing anything other than standing there, his face completely expressionless as he allowed Brylee to stare at him.
After experiencing a sudden and sharp pain in my chest, | made the decision to leave the venue. | didn’t say a word to anyone as | left the place and went on my way.
Jake was too preoccupied cheering for his cousin to notice that | was +25 BONUS leaving because he was too busy clapping his hands to express his happiness.
Before | left the room, | set the wine glass down on the table and felt a buzzing and throbbing pain in my head.
The place was still packed with people, and | had to squeeze my body to get through the crowd.
The birthday party for Mrs. Anderson was huge and spectacular; there were reporters taking pictures everywhere, and random interviews were being conducted at various locations.
| had the impression that | was being submerged in a crowd of people.
| had no choice but to take the way upstairs, choosing the last room, thinking that no one could findthere. | went ahead and let myself in so that | could get srest while it was still early.
There were no se rvants upstairs because they were needed to assist with the catering at the party. After drawing the curtain across the window, | kicked off my shoes, laid down on the bed, and then closed my eyes to go to sleep.
SEBASTIAN’s POV During the tthat my father was announcing to everyone that Brylee and | would be getting married in three months... | noticed that Celine was walking away and appearing to be in a grumpy mood.
She must be feeling tired already...
Jake was so preoccupied with clapping his hands and looking at us with joy in his eyes that he failed to notice that his girlfriend had already left his side and was standing away from him.
Even though everyone was congratulating us, my thoughts kept going back to Celine, and | kept looking for her in the sea of people, but | couldn't find her anywhere.

Not only did | feel disappointed with her, but | also felt disappointed with myself. | had the impression that | liked her because she lived up to my ideal of being the perfect person to share my life with. But when | met her sister...
The wedding is approaching as quickly as predicted, and when it does, I'll be marrying a woman who doesn’t even hold a place in my heart.
“Let’s just see each other tomorrow, Brylee...” | whispered and the expression on her face revealed a great deal of dissatisfaction.
“Okay...” She leaned in close and gave my cheek a kiss, and as she turned away to leave, the thought of her sister cinto my head.
Where did that woman go, exactly? | made a move to leave the room and looked for her outside, in the backyard, and around the pool area, but | was unable to find her.
| was starting to feel lightheaded, so | made the decision to call off the search for her.
Maybe she’s just roaming around, getting familiar with the house since she’s going to live here to teach Cynthia good manners.
| arrived at my room, and when | opened the door, | noticed that there was a woman occupying my bed. As | got closer... | was finally able to identify her, and a grin immediately appeared on my face as a result.
“Celine...”
