Chapter 93:

Her eyes locked onto a handsome man in a black suit who was staring directly at her.

Ian couldn’t take his eyes off Ava. In that blue dress, she looked like a princess.

When she entered the hall, everyone’s attention was on her mother, the bride, but Ian’s gaze was fixed on Ava.

Surprisingly, she was even more beautiful than he had imagined. Her makeup enhanced her stunning features, blooming her magnificence and showcasing her beauty to everyone around her.

When she caught his gaze, he didn’t look away. He didn’t care what she or anyone else would think—he simply stared at her.

Ava, feeling his gaze, averted her eyes and began talking with her friends. Ian continued to observe her every move. The way she laughed and engaged with her friends caught his attention.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in his line of sight, waving to him, forcing him to look away from Ava. He turned to see Ronald, who winked at Ian and asked, “Lost in someone’s beauty p>

His friends expected him to deny it or roll his eyes in response. But, to their surprise, Ian looked away from Ronald without replying and shifted his attention to the stage.

Ronald glanced at Cyrus and Paul, who were both stunned by Ian’s silence. Stephen, on the other hand, stood near the stairs of the stage. When he saw the priest begin to speak, he turned toward Ava and walked over to her.

“You look so pretty, my sister. Come here,” Stephen said, pulling Ava into a hug.

Ava chuckled and hugged him back. “You look handsome as always p>

They laughed together. Stephen glanced over at his friends, who greeted him from across the room.

The atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

Their parents watched from the stage, smiling at the siblings.

“Do you, Harper Taylor, accept Angela Adler as your wife?” the priest asked Gamma Harper.

Everyone fell silent, as this was the pivotal moment of the night—the bride and groom were about to take their vows.

Stephen turned to his friends, waving them over to his side.

They made their way toward him. Ava glanced at Ian, who stood next to Stephen.

“Stephen, come here. I have something to talk about,” Ronald said. Stephen moved to Ronald’s side, causing Ian to move beside Ava. Now, they were standing next to each other.

Angela and Debra glanced at Ian, who in turn glanced at Ava.

“Are you okay?” Angela whispered to Ava, noticing that Ian was next to her.

“Yeah, it’s okay,” Ava replied in a lower tone.

Gamma Harper’s voice echoed as he said to the priest, “Yes, I do p>

Ava refocused on the stage with a smile. She could see her mother was nervous.

Her mother glanced at her, and Ava motioned with her hand, signaling her to take a deep breath and relax. Meanwhile, Ian observed Ava, noticing how she was trying to ease her mother’s anxiety. He liked that about her. A small smile formed at the corner of his lips as they curled slightly.

“Do you, Angela Adler, accept Harper Taylor as your husband?” the priest asked.

Angela took a few deep breaths, glancing at her daughter for reassurance. After a moment, she responded, “Yes, I do p>
