Chapter Three.

All eyes were on him, he seemed to exude an effortless charm. 

Eva’s eyes lit up, she guessed the handsome man, she guessed the handsome man would be somehow related to Darren. 

The Edward’s family were one of the most powerful families in the city. After all Darren was an illegitimate son. 

Eva felt that Darren would never be able to meet up with the nobles of the Edward’s family. The man before her looked so charming and regal so she thought he most certainly had a connection to the Edward’s family, he might even be the legal heir of the family. 

She totally forgot about the man she came to the wedding with, immediately she sets her eyes on Darren. 

His good looks and charms both excited her and surprised her. She thought Mark was a handsome man but compared with the man in front of her, Mark undeniably became the button of the barrel type. 

Eva walked forward and greeted the man “ Are you Darren’s brother or relative?” Merely looking him in the eyes, made her blush. 

She felt, if she showed the man a sweet side of her, and even tried to seduce him with her charms he would fall for it. 

“Well the groom's family is yet to come, so you may take your seat and wait, because the wedding won’t commence for a while.” 

She even wanted to ask for his phone number but because of the occasion she did not dare to be so bold. 

But if they had met under any other circumstances she would have done it in one go without looking back. She did not even mind hooking up with this handsome man. 

But unfortunately The man didn’t even bat an eyelid at her. Instead he ignored her and walked straight to Mia. 

Eva’s face burned with embarrassment. The excitement and shyness vanished immediately. 

She angrily returned to her seat, she had never been turned down Everyman she showed her charms would always crumble and beg to have her. 

 Her eyes widened in horror when she saw the handsome man stand beside Mia. That was when it dawned on her that he was no other than the bride's groom, Darren. 

Eva shook her head in disbelief ‘how could Darren look this handsome?’ How’s that even possible? 

She leaned over and whispered in Lydia’s eyes “ mom why didn’t you let me see a picture of Darren? If I had known he was this handsome I wouldn’t have asked Mia to marry him in place of me” 

Lydia closed her eyes and blew out a loud breath, shaking her head in disapproval, Then she turned and cast a reproachful look at her daughter “ when you grow up, you would realise a man’s appearance is the least important thing, you are still young so you won’t understand. Darren is a loser, he doesn’t even have a decent job. He is just a useless man who doesn’t have a life, A man without money doesn’t have a life. The two will remain outcast for the rest of their lives and besides they fit perfectly an illegitimate son and also an adopted daughter.” 

Eva didn’t bother retorting anymore, she knew what her mother said was absolutely. however she hated the fact that Mia was getting married to such a good looking man, He looked like an actor. 

Darren walked to Mia and studied her expression. 

“I’m late because I had to deal with personal affairs,” he said flatly, scratching his brows softly. 

“It doesn’t matter” Mia didn’t mind. She was glad to know that was a good looking man. There was at least something good about him. 

She wanted to get over with the marriage quickly. 

Just as she turned, her gaze settled on his suit it was the latest Zara product that had only five pieces worldwide and slowly her eyes settled on his Patek Philippe watch on his wrist that was dazzling under the sunlight. 

Although she wasn’t rich, she had seen enough of the world to know the value of his suit and watch. 

She recognized at a glance both the suit and watch were worth at least 3 million dollars. Her eyebrows shot up in surprise. 

Everyone had told her that Darren was a poor man, that was why they wanted Mia to marry him in the first place. How could he afford such an expensive suit and watch them?
