Chapter 204

Everyone looked at the halo and waited for the couple to appear.

Melody also looked at the light.

Her hands curled up on her knees.

The engagement.

Brayden and Olivia's engagement.

She believed that no one was more eager to see Olivia and Brayden appear at this moment than she
was.

Everett, who was sitting next to her, held the glass with his eyes half-closed.

His fingers slowly stoke the glass.

Leona looked at him to see his expression.

However, Everett was expressionless.

His angular face still looked indifferent and heartless, no different from usual.

Leona frowned.

Didn't he care about it? But why was she still uneasy? Brayden, in a white suit, appeared in the light,
handsome and extraordinary.

However, he was the only one who came out.

There was no bride.



The people sitting around started to whisper to each other.

"Where's the bride?"

"Why doesn't bride appear?"

"Yes, why is the groom alone?"

The host gave the microphone to Brayden.

Brayden took it and went on stage with a gentle smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, everyone, my flancée is shy and embarrassed to come out to see everyone.When we get
married next year, you will definitely see her"

Hearing this sentence, the guests had different reactions on their faces.

How could the bride not show up in the engagement? Was the rumor real that Brayden's fiancée was
his uncle's ex- wife? For a moment, countless eyes fell on the people at the front table.

The Westons members were all at that table.

How could they allow their younger generation to hold an engagement only with the groom but without
the bride? However, the people sitting at Wade's table was extremely calm, as if they had already
agreed to this result.

However, if the guests look closely, they would find that their calmness was superficial.

They were equally shocked.

Cristina looked at Belle with a question in his eyes: what was going on? Everyone thought that Brayden
and Olivia would appear together today.



Why was there only one now? What about the other one? Belle smiled bitterly, which meant she would
talk about it later.

Cristina suppressed her doubts and looked at Brayden.

Brayden did not look displeased at all.

Instead, he was very happy with a smile in his eyes.

It seemed like his reason was the truth.

Olivia didn't appear only because she was shy not because of anything else.

But Cristina knew.

It was not the truth.

There must be another reason.

Thinking of this, she looked at Everett.

At this moment, she was not the only one who looked at Everett, but also Leona and Melody.

At this table, except for Wade, Belle, and Kingsley, no one knew that Brayden was the only one to
attend the engagement today.

Even Leona and Melody didn't know.

So, after hearing Brayden's words, the two of them became uneasy.

Leona frowned and tried to suppress her emotions.



She looked embarrassed.

She realized that why he was so calm tonight and didn't do anything.

So it wasn't that he didn't take any action, but that he had already done it! Melody looked at Everett.

Her hands clenched.

Numerous emotions welled up in her eyes.

Everett, was that because of you? Because of you, Olivia did not appear.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table became strange.

The men at the table sensed that the atmosphere was not right.

They saw Melody look at Everett and make eye contact with Everett.

Everyone looked at Everett.

Now, all eyes except for Wade's were on Everett were at this table.

Everett raised his eyes and looked across the face of the people who looked at him.

Finally, his eyes fell on Melody's face.

"What?"
