Chapter 3276 Nina's Wedding The three kids exchanged glances and then sat back down on the couch.
Aunt Neile said to the kids, "Make sure you behave. I'm heading off now. If you need anything, just givea call, okay?" "Okay, Aunt Neile," the three kids replied in unison.
After Aunt Neile left the villa, the kids huddled together to discuss their plans.
Luca had been resting at hfor three days.
As she got better, Nina and Percy's wedding day also approached.
As a guest from the bride's side, Luca, along with Rainie and Tommy, waited at the apartment with Nina, anticipating the arrival of the groom's party from Percy's side.
Once the makeup artist was done with Nina, everyone in the apartment gathered to see the bride. Rainie exclaimed, "Ms. Nina looks so beautiful today!" Nina smiled, adjusting the hem of her wedding dress, "Do I not look beautiful usually?" "You do!" Rainie nodded. "But today, you look the most beautiful. Mr. Percy will definitely be stunned." Her comment made everyone laugh, and one of the bridesmaids asked, "With such a beautiful bride, is it too much to ask for a bigger gift from Mr. Percy later?" "It's not too much. Mr. Percy has plenty of money. We should ask for a lot of gifts. After all, this is a once-in-a- lifetevent. If we don't ask for more, we might not let the bride leave!" another person joked.
The bridesmaids, who were mostly from Brilliant, felt bold and playful, taking the opportunity to tease Percy and Nina on their special day.
Nina, being generous, responded, "Go ahead and ask for as much as you want. If you miss this chance, there won't be another." *The bride is so generous!" Everyone was having a great time.
Tommy tugged at Luca's sleeve.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Luca looked at Tommy. He was supposed to be with the groom's party, but since he wanted to stick close to her, she brought him along.

"My bowtie is crooked," said Tommy, painting at his bowtie.
Luca looked and indeed saw it was crooked.
She squatted down to fix it.
*There you go. Looking handsome!" Luca praised.
Tommy beamed with happiness.
Someone noticed Tommy and his ring bearer outfit. "What a handslittle boy! Nina, where did you find such a good-looking ring bearer?" "He's our boss' child!" Nina said proudly, holding Tommy with her left hand and Kari with her right. She then addressed the bridesmaids, "See, don't my ring bearer and flower girl have good looks?" "Yes, they're adorable," replied the bridesmaids, smiling widely.
Tommy whispered, "They have scary smiles." "Tommy, that's rude!" Rainie shook her head.
Tommy said with firm conviction, "I'm just speaking the truth. It feels like they're trying to sell us!" Luca felt a bit embarrassed. Her son was quite talkative, at least more so than Lanie.
Sometimes, his comments could be awkward.
For instance, his recent comment could offend all the women present.
One of the bridesmaids heard Tommy's remark and said, "Aww, you're so cute, little guy! How about coming hwithtonight? My house has lots of yummy treats!" "No!" Tommy blushed at the bridesmaid's teasing, pulling away from Nina and hiding in Luca's embrace. Everyone burst into laughter, and no one paid much attention to the child's comment.
After the playful teasing, the mood in the room lightened, but Nina grew anxious. She glanced at her phone and muttered, "What tare they arriving? Have you heard anything?" Luca checked her phone and said, "They left ten minutes ago. It's about a 20-minute drive, so we might need to wait a bit." "A 20-minute drive? With such a long convoy, it'll probably take about 30 minutes. Let's just wait," said another person.
"Looks like the bride is getting nervous," commented one of the bridesmaids.
"No, I'm just feeling a bit warm. Is the air conditioning not on?" asked Nina, waving her hand to fan herself as the bangles on her wrist clinked together.
"You're just nervous. Let's step outside and give the bride sspace. Otherwise, you might end up sweating, and you'll have to touch up your makeup," suggested Luca. She knew Nina was nervous, so she led everyone out to the living room.
Everyone politely left the bedroom.
"Luca, Sue, stay here and keepcompany," Nina called out to Luca and Sue, who were about to leave.
The two of them stayed in the bedroom, sitting on either side of Nina.
The three of them looked at the vanity mirror together.
Sue said, "Nina, you look stunning today." "Thank you." Nina smiled, her lips slightly stiff. "I'm really nervous." "I know," replied Luca. She pondered for a moment, then rose to her feet and walked out.
"What's Luca doing?" Nina asked Sue.
Sue shook her head.
A moment later, Luca returned with a piece of candy and handed it to Nina. "Here, have a candy." "Huh?" Nina looked puzzled but took the candy and unwrapped it.

Nina opened her mouth, put the candy in, then asked, "Why should I eat candy?" "You've been busy since early morning and probably haven't had anything to eat." Luca knew how tiring being a bride could be.
The makeup artist worked on her for over two hours in the early morning. Brides usually could not eat before getting into their wedding dress.
"Yes, this wedding dress is so tight that I might not fit if I eat," Nina replied helplessly.
"Nervousness has both mental and physical aspects. Eating something sweet will give you senergy and help calm your nerves," explained Luca.
Nina nodded. "I see. Oh, getting married is really exhausting." Sue said, "This is just the beginning, and you're already saying you're tired?" Luca added, "Wait until the ceremony and the reception. That's when you'll really feel tired." "My neck hurts from all this pressure, complained Nina, moving her neck.
Luca and Sue looked at the jewelry on her neck and hands. Their eyes filled with sympathy.
"Why do we have to look like we're flaunting our wealth just for the wedding?" Nina could not understand.
The makeup artist replied, "You'll only wear this much for the ceremony and reception. Once we get to the venue, I help you change into a simpler look. You won't need to wear so much then." *Hang in there," Sue comforted her.
"When is Percy arriving? I'm really tired. My neck feels so heavy, like it's almost breaking... Nina's face fell. Even though she had mentally shen prepared for the exhaustion, it was not until she had all the jewelry on that she truly felt how tiring it was.
Luca glanced at the time, estimating ve they should be arriving soon. She then heard Nina say "hope they're generous and hurry up with gettingout of here so that I can finally take this weight off my neck and hands." Since they were having a Western-style wedding, Nina would not be wearing all this jewelry at the venue. She would change into a different look.
