Shawn and Carmila's wedding was rescheduled once Henry had been safely released from the detention center.However, Carmila's pregnancy was already showing, so the wedding was kept simple.Firstly, everyone thought she would appear unsightly if she married while being visibly pregnant. The second reason was that they feared the complex wedding would exhaust her and the child in her womb.Carmila was displeased, but she had no say in the matter. Furthermore, insisting on a bigger ceremony would make it appear that she didn't care about the child.The wedding car left Florin around 5:00 am and picked her up at 8:00 am.Shawn was in a suit, and Carmila was in a wedding gown. They stood together and carried out the ceremony amidst their elders' blessings.Then, he helped her into the bridal chamber.Meanwhile, Gabriella, along with Megan and several close relatives, entertained the guests who were seeing off the bride.Everyone left for the hotel around 10:00 a.m.Although the wed
Carmila, dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown, entered with Zain.After exchanging rings, Shawn and Carmila headed toward their parents in the front row.Layla's seat was on the opposite side, and the gorgeous flowers on stage hid her view, so she could only hear what was happening.The newlyweds appeared on stage with the four elders for a group shot.She narrowed her eyes and noticed that Shawn's mother resembled her landlord.Chris also had the same realization and whispered to her, "Layla, do you think that person looks like our landlord?""They do look quite similar."The ceremony was over. The newlyweds left, and the waiters began serving dishes.Carmila was pregnant and didn't need to toast. Only Shawn came forward to drink with the Sanderson elders.After toasting, he placed the wine glass on the tray, followed the elders' instructions, and turned to the next table.When he noticed a familiar figure at the table, he stopped and narrowed his eyes. He looked at Layla, the
"Ms. Carrington, the report shows that you have a thin uterine lining. It is causing some complications with your pregnancy. Please be extra cautious with your diet and physical activities," the doctor said while prescribing the medication."Here, you can go and collect your medication now.""Okay. Thanks, doctor." Gabriella Carrington took the prescription and stood up slowly."Be careful, alright? You must take this matter seriously!" the doctor added.A thin uterine lining tended to increase the risk of miscarriage. Many women lost the ability to conceive again after having a miscarriage."Thank you, doctor. I'll be careful." Gabriella nodded and smiled.She had been married for three years now. No one looked forward to the arrival of the baby more than she did. She would definitely take good care of herself.After picking up the medication, Gabriella left the hospital and got into the car.The driver started the engine before looking at her through the rearview mirror. "M
"It's me.""You've ... been drinking?""Yeah. I had a few drinks with a friend."As the sound of Henry showering came from the bathroom, Gabrielle frowned and tossed around in bed. She could not fall asleep.The bed dipped beside her, and a hand settled gently on her waist before tracing along the graceful contours of her body."Not today ..." Gabriella stopped him drowsily.She subconsciously feared that it would affect the baby.The hand stopped moving and rested on her back. "Sleep well."Overcome by drowsiness, Gabriella quickly drifted off to sleep.When Gabriella woke up the next morning, she found herself alone in bed. The creased bed sheet was the only proof of Henry's return yesterday. She was a little frustrated. Why did she fall asleep just like that last night? There was nothing she could do about it now. She decided to tell him about her pregnancy today.After freshening up, Gabriella walked over to the closet and chose a white suit for Henry. Thinking that h
Although Gabriella and Henry had never publicized their marriage in the past three years, they were just like any ordinary couple.Every morning, Gabriella would help Henry choose a suit and tie his tie. Then, they would leave for work together.He would also keep her informed of his work schedules when he attended social events at night. They made love, showered together at times, and would kissed each other good night every night.Henry had never forgotten any of the special occasions, including their wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day, and her birthday.He fulfilled all her requests. Be it romance or a sense of ceremony, he did it all.He did everything a perfect husband should.Gabriella thought her life of bliss would continue forever.Unfortunately, Hannah was back. Everything would have to come to an end. The female voice she heard from the other end of the line yesterday had to have been Hannah's. Gabriella wondered if they had gotten in touch a long time ago.
Gabriella clutched her phone tightly to her chest. Her heart ached so much that she could not breathe. It turned out that Henry had brought Hannah to meet his friends right after he got off the plane. All of them knew about it and expressed their blessings. Gabriella was the only one who had been kept in the dark. Throughout the past three years, only the Toussaints knew about her marriage to Henry.He had never introduced her to his friends. Even if she met them occasionally, they only knew her as the Toussaint family's adopted daughter.When the driver came to the garage and spotted Gabriella's car, he called out in confusion, "Mrs. Toussaint?" Gabriella immediately wiped away her tears and pretended as if she did not hear him.Moments later, she drove away. She was not someone who would let personal matters affect her work.At the moment, she could only use her work to divert her attention from the divorce.Gabriella sent the proposal plan to Henry's email. Soon,
Gabriella's nose turned pink as her eyes flooded with tears.She had never seen such a gentle side from Henry. Throughout their three years of marriage, he had always been rather indifferent to her.She often comforted herself that it was simply Henry's character. She repeated it so often that she even started believing it. However, she had seen it now.Henry could be gentle too. He just chose not to show it to her. They walked past her car.Henry did not realize it was her car, nor did he notice she was inside it."Mrs. Toussaint, you're back. What do you want for dinner ..."Maria inadvertently caught a glimpse of the tears on Gabriella's face.But before she could finish speaking, Gabriella had already entered the bedroom.Completely drained, Gabriella leaned against the door. After holding in her emotions the entire day, she finally could not do it anymore.Tears streamed down her cheeks. Her heart stung. She knew the pain of growing up in a single-parent family all
As soon as Jodie White heard Gabriella's voice, she fumed, "Ms. Carrington, if you think that Emma's status doesn't match up to Toussaint Holdings, just say so. "She doesn't rely solely on you. But look at what you have done!"She continued, "We turned down other brand endorsements in favor of this one, and now you're suddenly saying you no longer wish to work with Emma."Are you making a fool of us? You need to give us a proper explanation!""Calm down, Jodie. We've already chosen Emma as our brand ambassador. Why would we possibly replace her?" Gabriella asked."Have you not heard of it yet? The director of your public relations department called us personally and said that they wanted to get someone else as their ambassador!"Gabriella was stunned."Jodie, let me find out what happened. I'll definitely give Emma a proper explanation."After ending the call, Gabriella stormed off to the public relations department with a long face. Her heels clacked resoundingly as she walke
