Chapter 1157

[ 747 words ]

The phrase ‘third wheel’ popped into Hull’s and Finley Yoder’s minds at the exact same time.

They exchanged mutual glares of annoyance, both silently scoffing at the other.

Susanna Tucker, on the other hand, lit up the moment she saw Tegan James and Finley together.

Ultimately, the two women threw their arms around each other in a tight hug.

Leaving Finley and Hull standing on the sidelines in utter silence.

Bang. A magnificent firework erupted, illuminating the already dazzling night sky of Ferrowland.

The grand wedding convoy drove majestically through the darkness.

Stella Quinn gazed up through the panoramic sunroof at the cascading fireworks. Her eyes sparkled, rivaling the brilliance of the explosive stars above.

Stella nestled into Ronald Quinn’s embrace. “You really made sure everyone in Ferrowland knows we got married today.”

In that moment, her voice dripped with absolute sweetness.

There was a time when realizing Ronald had completely claimed her heart terrified her.

Back then, she felt their relationship had to be kept strictly in the shadows.

She had feared that if her feelings were ever exposed, people would brand her as an ungrateful wretch with twisted desires.

They would have condemned Ronald, too.

Above all, she had just been so afraid.

When she went to war with the Larkin family, they all claimed she didn’t care about her own reputation.

Or that she didn’t care if people called her malicious and vicious.

But the truth was.

She simply didn’t care about those specific people or their opinions.

When it came to Ronald, though, she was just as capable of fear.

“This way, no one will dare to cross you,” Ronald said.

Stella let out a soft, melodic laugh.

People always said that a man like Ronald needed to keep his weaknesses well- hidden.

Men who lived on the edge could never predict when an enemy lurking in the dark might exploit their vulnerabilities.

But Ronald did the exact opposite.

Over the years, he never hesitated to let the world know that his most precious treasure was Stella.

And it was this fierce, uncompromising protection that ensured no one ever dared to lay a finger on her.

Stella nuzzled deeper into his chest.

Ronald gently brushed a stray lock of hair from her face, his tone laced with deep affection and concern. “Are you tired?”

Stella hummed softly in agreement.

Her gaze remained fixed on the

magnificent display above. This was a celebration of their love, and she couldn’t bear to blink and missa Single second.

But she was incredibly exhausted.

Yvonne Quinn had woken her up at the crack of dawn, and she had been rushed

into hair and makeup while still half-asleep.

The fact that she had managed to stay awake this long was a miracle in itself.

Ronald tenderly cupped her cheek. “Go to sleep.”

Stella’s eyes had already fluttered shut.

The breathtaking firework show left countless onlookers gazing up in pure envy.

Jaxon Larkin stood outside beneath the night sky.

Staring up at the explosions of color,

he finally understood why Stella had shown nothing but disdain for the Latin famuy after returning to Partis City.

With the Quinn family backing her, what did the Larkins even matter?

Yet, they had been foolish enough to try and blackmail her with things she considered absolutely worthless.

He had always heard that she was living a wonderful life in Ferrowland, but he had never seen it for himself.

Now, he was witnessing it firsthand.

The Quinn family truly worshipped the ground she walked on.

Lola Zeller stood quietly behind him. “You regretted it a long time ago, didn’t you?”

She meant the regret he felt over how he had treated Stella because of Ursula Larkin.

Stella was his biological sister.

But he had never shown her an ounce of kindness, all for Ursula’s sake.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, the moment he had discovered Ursula’s true colors, a profound sense of remorse had set in.

But his pride had stopped him from bowing his head and apologizing.

Hearing Lola say the word aloud made a suffocating weight press down on his chest.

“What does it matter if I regret it?” he muttered. “She has nothing to do with us anymore. She doesn’t acknowledge us.”

He wasn’t the only one drowning in remorse. His mother, currently sitting in a prison cell, felt it too.

When she heard about the wedding, she had desperately wanted to attend.

The entire Larkin family was consumed by regret.

Cloudia Lawson had wanted to watch her daughter get married with her own eyes,

to see what her life in Ferrowland was really like.

But in the end.

Her own actions had stripped her of the right to ever witness such a moment.
