How did this ancient wedding dress end up here? That day, she heard from Master Mani at the Tassel Hall that this ancient wedding dress simply couldn’t be made. Yet here it is now. The fiery red phoenix crown and robes are even more stunning and dazzling than what could be seen in the design sketch, with the gold silk threads hand-embroidered shining and flowing in the sunlight, breathtakingly beautiful. "Mommy," little Caden Crawford tugged at Serena Sterling’s skirt, "Mommy, hurry and put on that wedding dress." Get full chapters from N0v3l.Fiɾe.net Serena pointed at herself, "Me?" That’s not right. Serena guessed that this ancient wedding dress was meant for Melody Ashworth, but unfortunately, Melody lacked the strength and couldn’t reach the part where she’d wear this dress. "Yes," little Caden nodded vigorously, "neither Mommy nor I have taken any photos, and Mommy will surely look beautiful in this wedding dress. I want to take pictures with my beautiful Mommy!" Little Caden’s big eyes were filled with pleading and anticipation, and everyone knew Serena never refused the children’s requests. But... putting on such an ancient wedding dress without any reason feels kind of strange... Before Serena could think it through, little Caden already pulled her small hand and ran inside, "Mommy, hurry and change." "..." Serena could only go inside and put on this ancient wedding dress. Once she was dressed, there were already top-notch makeup artists waiting in the room. "Miss Sterling, this way please, I’ll do your hair and makeup now," the makeup artist said with a gentle smile. Could this also be a necessary step for taking photos with Caden? "Oh, okay." Serena sat before the dressing table. Half an hour later, everything was done, and Serena stood up looking around, "Where’s Caden, why can’t I see Caden?" The little one who was supposed to take pictures with her seemed to have disappeared? "Miss Sterling, are you looking for young Master Crawford? This way, please." A servant led Serena to a door. Serena asked in confusion, "Is Caden inside?" "Yes, Miss Sterling, young Master Crawford is waiting inside for you along with young Master Pip and Princess Stella; they’re all waiting for you." Pip and Stella are here too? Serena felt she was lost in the clouds, as if everyone was hiding something from her. "Miss Sterling, don’t worry, I’ll open the door now, just step outside, everyone outside is someone you love most." Saying this, the servant gently pushed open the White Jade Door in front of her. The bright light quickly flooded in, and Serena looked up, her clear eyes suddenly narrowing because this White Jade Door leads to a wedding aisle, and at the end of the red carpet stood a tall and handsome figure, Hayden Crawford. Beside Hayden were three little ones, Caden, Pip, and Stella, all her children. Caden and Pip were wearing white shirts with ties, Stella in a beautiful princess dress; the three little cherubs seemed to have walked straight out of a painting. All the guests lined both sides, their gazes instantly focused on her, filled with admiration and envy. Serena’s long eyelashes trembled, leaving her stunned. "Mommy~" The three little ones in front smiled happily at Serena. At this moment, someone walked over, it was... Julian Rathborne. Julian came, Jude Crawford came, Serena even saw Seraphina Linden and Isabelle Willow below the stage, her closest and most beloved people in life were all here today. Julian walked to Serena’s side and extended his strong arm, "Serena, let Dad take you there; Hayden is waiting for you over there, he’s been waiting for you for a long time." He’s been waiting for you for a long time. Serena instantly understood what was happening, today is real, this is Hayden Crawford and Serena Sterling’s wedding, this is their wedding! He didn’t say a word to her, even colluding with the kids to lure her onto the stage. This section of the red carpet was meant to be walked with her father, who would then place her hand into his palm. Serena suddenly remembered, they haven’t had their wedding, he hasn’t given her a wedding. Back when she married him as a substitute in Bayside, she sat alone in the car heading to Orchid Court. How could she have known what path that was, or where it led? Serena’s pale eyes suddenly became red; her clear gaze shifted from Julian’s handsome face to her mommy, Seraphina Linden, and Aunt Isabelle. Seraphina’s eyes were red too. Seeing Serena’s questioning gaze, she nodded with a bright smile. Isabelle’s eyes were red as well, looking affectionately at Serena; she loved the same man deeply, having long seen Serena as her own daughter. Serena’s clear eyes returned to the front, resting on Hayden’s handsome face. Hayden stood there with their three children, waiting for her, his deep eyes overflowing with tenderness and love. Serena gently curled her lips into a smile, raising her small hand to hold Julian’s arm. Julian led her, step by step down the red carpet towards Hayden. The Louis Estate now resembled a crystal palace, magnificent, like a world in a fairy tale. This grand wedding was a gathering of distinguished guests, everyone remained quiet, all eyes on tonight’s bride, Serena Sterling. The sound of "The Wedding March" played in her ears, everything just perfect. In the center of the crowd, Hayden watched Serena walk towards him, his gaze tightly locked on her. She wore the fiery red wedding dress, her skin fair and smooth as jade, her slim waist gracefully held, exuding a breathtaking beauty like a celestial maiden gently landing in his heart. Hayden recalled their first encounter on the train in Bayside, when she was just nineteen. Her features hadn’t fully developed, far from the exceptional beauty she is now. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from the girl who captivated his heart into his woman, the mother of his children. Trekking across mountains and waters, from far away lands, she came step by step to his side. Today, she wore the wedding dress for him, today, she dressed her hair for him. This moment, her stunning beauty, is forever etched in his heart. Hayden strode forward towards her, his steps steady and strong, stopping in front of her. Julian extended his hand to pass Serena’s soft hand to Hayden, "Hayden, didn’t expect you to ultimately take away my Serena with both the pot and the flower, I don’t have any demands for you, just love her well for the rest of your life." This was a father’s advice, love her well for the rest of your life. Hayden took Serena’s soft hand, nodding solemnly, "Father-in-law, I will."
