The duo was talking and before they knew it, they were already standing in front of the priest.
The priest stared at the newlyweds. He had officiated at many weddings, but that was the first time he had met a
well-matched couple.
He flipped the book he had with him and smiled warmly before asking, “Mr. Shane Thompson, will you take this
woman as your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love and protect her in sickness and in health?”
Shane and Natalie were looking at each other at the time.
His gaze was soft as he uttered, “I do.”
Natalie's eyes reddened with tears.
The priest then turned to Natalie and asked, “Ms. Natalie Smith, will you take this man as your lawfully wedded
husband? Do you promise to love and protect him in sickness and in health?”
“I do,” replied Natalie without hesitation.

The priest saw how the two of them looked so in love with each other, and that got him to nod while smiling. He
declared, “I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Shane reached out and removed the veil. He then lifted Natalie's chin with his finger and lowered his head to kiss
her.
Witnessing that scene, the guests put their hands together again to cheer them on while Connor and Sharon
continued to toss the flowers.
Lucy was peeking from outside the hall, and she and Stanley were the only ones who were upset.
Stanley stared at Natalie. A complex and unreadable gaze shone behind his glasses as he clapped half-heartedly. It
was evident that he wasn't genuinely happy for Natalie.
Five years ago, he had fallen for Natalie at first sight.
But to his dismay, she was already pregnant with someone else's children.
He didn't mind, though. He could accept anything, including the children in her womb.
Unfortunately, she wasn't looking for a relationship at that time, so he never professed his love for her because he
respected her.
Yet, little did he expect Natalie to get together with Shane almost as soon as she got back to the country. It was at
that moment Stanley realized that Natalie wasn't disinterested in a relationship. She simply wasn't into him and
didn't feel the same for him.
He wondered if he would've had a chance with her if he had taken the initiative and told her how he felt earlier.
But what was the point of wondering all that now? She was officially out of his reach as of today.
Joyce was sitting a short distance away from Stanley. She noticed how his gaze had turned gloomy, and that got her
smile to fade, too. She wasn't clapping as enthusiastically either.
Sally sensed her sorrow and couldn't help asking, “What's wrong?”
“Nothing.” Joyce quickly looked down to hide her emotions before forcing a smile. “I'm just happy for Nat. She's

“But you don't look happy at all. Also, they were married ages ago, and this is just the reception, so can you at least
come up with a better lie? Just tell me what's going on.” Sally nudged Joyce with her shoulder. “Did you see
someone you like and—”
“How did you know?” Joyce looked at her wide-eyed in disbelief.
Sally chuckled mischievously. “How? I caught you staring in that direction a few times. But there are several guys
over there, so I don't know who exactly you're looking at. The only thing I can be certain of is that he is one of the
guys over there.”
“Your observation skills are pretty on point,” Joyce remarked.
Sally shrugged. “This has nothing to do with my observation skills. It's so obvious. Come on, fess up. Who is it?”
“I'd rather not. There's no way we can ever be together.” Jayce shook her head and had no intention of telling Sally
anything.
Sally was a little disappointed with that. “Aw, I thought I could hear something juicy from you...”
