Chadwick glanced at Esther, who sat beside him, and asked coldly, “Who’s that?”
Esther quickly deleted Bradley’s message and replied casually, “Just spam.”
Chadwick warned Esther, “Think carefully, Esther. If you’re having second thoughts, now is the time to back out.”
Esther thought about her family’s plans and firmly shook her head, pressing her lips together. “I won’t back out.”
Chadwick had hoped she would be in her traditional wedding outfit. But whether the wedding would proceed
smoothly or not was not up to him.
Mockingly, Chadwick said, “You’re quite captivating, Esther. Before you came into my life, I was a playboy. But when
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou appeared, I willingly stepped into this marriage, leaving behind many possibilities to be with you.”
Esther smiled sarcastically. “Regretting it already, Mr. Pendleton?”
Chadwick laughed heartily. “Regret doesn’t exist in my vocabulary, Esther.”
“That sounds like something from a romance ,” Esther said with irony, which Chadwick missed, thinking she
was joking.
“Do I not fit the role of a domineering CEO?” he asked.
“You certainly do,” she answered softly, acknowledging that Chadwick resembled a leading man from fiction.
Chadwick leaned over and took a bite of the red apple Esther was holding. The sweet aroma filled the car. Selene
had chosen this luscious, tempting apple.
“So, is it the apple that’s sweet, or is it you?” he asked.
Esther discreetly moved away, determined to avoid further complications with Chadwick.
Unperturbed, Chadwick scrolled through his phone, enjoying the apple. He sent generous gift codes to friends in his
WhatsApp group, and they responded with congratulatory messages and well wishes.
In contrast, the mood in the second wedding car, carrying Mandy and Bradley, was tense and silent despite their
upcoming marriage.
Mandy stared at her phone, contemplating how to change veils as X had instructed.
Bradley looked handsome in his wedding attire and showed no signs of happiness. He radiated a cold aura, gripping
his phone tightly as if it might shatter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBradley noticed Esther hadn’t responded to his message. A frosty smile crossed his lips, accompanied by a fierce
rage in his intense eyes.
As the convoy approached an intersection, they encountered a traffic accident, with ambulances and hearses
blocking the road.
Chadwick was annoyed. He kicked the back of the groomsman’s seat and commanded, “Go find out what
happened.”
“Understood.” The groomsman returned moments later, looking worried. “Chadwick, there’s been an accident.
There are many casualties.”
Chadwick scoffed with disdain and raised an eyebrow. “Tsk! What an ill omen indeed.”
