Chapter 74: Chapter 74: “I Missed You.

“That’s an eye-opener. I was just thinking, for my wedding, everything combined—the banquet, the wedding planner, all of it—only cost around fifty thousand…”

“Oh my god, that’s Cat! I can’t believe Cat is still doing private gigs. This is blowing my mind. I heard he’s basically semi-retired. He even turned down an offer to sing the theme song for a Starlight Hills movie. What kind of wedding is this that they could get him?!”

“Dawg, you’ve really made it! Thanks for not treating us like strangers! Besides the concert part, are there any other videos? We’re begging you!”

David Hudson also received the photos from Cheryl Stuart just then.

Following Miles Hollis’s advice, Cheryl Stuart didn’t include any other guests in her shots. She just took pictures of the entire palace, which was decorated with at least a hundred thousand fresh flowers.

Even though it was the beginning of winter, the sheer number of blooming flowers erased any trace of the season’s gloom. Instead, the scene was full of life and vitality, like the middle of spring.

Even through a screen, you could almost feel like you were there, taking in the rich fragrance of the flowers.

Even David Hudson, who had seen his fair share of lavish weddings for A-list celebrities, couldn’t help but marvel when he received the photos from Cheryl Stuart. ’Are these even fresh-cut flowers? They look like they were made from wads of cash!’

Meanwhile, Cheryl Stuart had also posted on Weibo.

She posted a short unboxing video.

Although the title called it an unboxing video, her fans clicked on it and immediately noticed that the box’s packaging was a little *too* exquisite.

Jessie Sterling had designed the gift boxes herself.

The outside of the box featured yellow sunflowers from an oil painting she had done herself. Victor Morgan then had someone process the image for the design, giving it a rich, embossed texture.

The entire box was meticulously designed by Jessie. It wasn’t like a normal gift box where you just open the lid and stuff things inside. The petals of her hand-drawn sunflower could be rotated out one by one, with each petal revealing a hidden compartment containing a gift.

As soon as Cheryl Stuart posted the unboxing video, her fans were captivated by the box before they even saw the gifts inside.

When Cheryl pulled out an Omega watch, followed by a small Hermes wallet, she finally smiled at the camera and said, “These are all wedding favors from the bride.”

Just as she said that, Cheryl spotted a pair of cute, cartoonish wedding figurines made of solid gold in the next compartment.

A sharp intake of breath—

Cheryl couldn’t help but let out a quiet gasp.

At the base of the figurines was a stamp that read “Pure Gold 9999.” It was impossible to ignore.

’Who gives their wedding guests solid gold?!’

Cheryl’s face was a mask of disbelief.

The netizens and fans who saw her unboxing video were also stunned.

“Holy cow. For my wedding, *I* got the ’three golds,’ but for this person’s wedding, they’re giving the ’three golds’ to *everyone*!”

“Stop, just stop, the more you talk, the more depressing it gets. My ’three golds’ from my wedding didn’t even add up to thirty grams. And Cheryl said in the video that the little wedding figurine pendants are solid gold. Heh. Their wedding favors have more gold than my own betrothal gifts.”

“Can you introduce me to this friend too?!”

“Wait, Cheryl said these are wedding favors? Holy shit! Whose wedding favors are this extravagant? It’s disgustingly rich!”

“Are we talking about the same ’wedding favors’ I’m thinking of?”

“I’m suddenly having a wild thought…”

Cheryl scrolled through the comments, picking some to reply to.

[Cheryl Stuart: Shh, let’s be low-key. It’s *that* wedding. It was truly breathtaking, and the bride is gorgeous.]

[Cheryl Stuart: And let me tell you a little secret, the bride prepared a gift box for every single guest. By my estimate, there were over three thousand people at the reception.]

The moment Cheryl’s replies went live, her fans couldn’t help but feel proud.

“I knew it! Cheryl is a real second-generation rich kid in this industry, not one of those fake socialites who are just all hype.”

“Wow! So amazing! Wifey, you’re really rich, beautiful, and you can act!”

Reading her fans’ replies, the corners of Cheryl Stuart’s mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards.

’In this industry, doesn’t everyone suck up to the powerful and trample on the weak? I have to admit, having the ’rich kid’ label has certainly made things a lot easier for me.’

Jessie Sterling had no idea her wedding was generating so much curiosity online. She had just gone to the dressing room to change and ran right into Victor Morgan on her way out.

Even though it was their wedding, Jessie hadn’t actually had much private time with Victor.

There were too many guests. Jessie felt like she had turned into a social butterfly these past few days. Even at night, she would just collapse into bed and rest in her own room.

’Victor must be even busier than I am,’ she thought.

Seeing Victor at the door now, Jessie let out a small “Huh?” and asked, “What are you doing here?”

It was almost evening, and there was a ball tonight. She had assumed Victor would go straight to the ballroom and wait for her there.

When Victor Morgan saw Jessie Sterling, his eyes lit up.

Over the past three days, he had already seen Jessie in more than a dozen different wedding gowns she had prepared. In addition to the gowns, there were also many cocktail dresses, and without exception, he was stunned by her every single time.

And now, for the ball, Jessie had chosen a white wedding dress that fell above her knees. A diamond fringe hung from the back of her waist down to her ankles, giving the magnificent dress a playful and cute touch.

“Mm, I came to see you,” Victor said honestly.

They hadn’t spent much time alone over the past few days. They were technically together, but always surrounded by a crowd of people.

Jessie mumbled, “It’s not like we haven’t seen each other. Haven’t we been seeing each other every day?”

Despite her words, she couldn’t help but feel pleased by what Victor said.

’Who doesn’t like being cherished and thought of?’

Hearing this, Victor suddenly reached out and pulled the proud young woman into his arms—this girl who was speaking to him with her head down, refusing to even let him get a good look at her.

Jessie hadn’t expected Victor to do that and was clearly startled.

But she didn’t struggle. She just complained softly in his embrace, “What are you doing! We’re in the hallway!”

Victor let out a low chuckle. “We’ve seen each other, but I haven’t held you.” After saying this, he rested his chin on the top of Jessie’s head, his senses immediately filled with her sweet scent. “I missed you a little,” Victor said.

Jessie had been trying to keep a straight face, but when she heard his last words, her lips became uncontrollable, slowly curling up at the corners.

Her arms, which had been hanging at her sides, lifted and wrapped around the man in front of her.

“Oh.” Jessie nodded a little haughtily. “I know.”

Victor raised an eyebrow. He simply lowered his head, used one hand to tilt her chin up, and stared into her eyes as if trying to see into the very depths of her soul.

A sudden panic seized Jessie’s heart for no reason, and she subconsciously tried to look away.

But the next moment, before she could turn her head, his lips pressed firmly against hers.
