Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 229

Chapter 229 She Was Spoiled

Colette had already arrived. She was wearing a dress with a shawl, looking both elegant and luxurious.

She linked her arm with Elbert’s and laughed loudly.

People who are not aware of the facts would think that her biological daughter was getting engaged.

Looking at the smile on Colette’s face, Nolan felt uncomfortable.

Lucian quickly replied, “Mr. Chase and Mrs. Chase arrived early. They came ahead of time to entertain the guests. Ms. Chase had a slight issue with her dress. The designer worked overtime last night to fix it. Ms. Chase went early in the morning to do her makeup and try on the dress. In theory, she should be here soon.”

Nolan knew Helena very well. Today’s engagement ceremony was something Helena had worked hard for. It made sense for her to arrive early to show off. It is strange that she still hasn’t arrived.

The equipment on–site has been debugged many times. As long as Helena arrives, the ceremony can be held.

The air was filled with the scent of flowers. People dressed in various kinds of formal attire were elegantly walking around and could be seen everywhere.

Some people were talking while others were taking photos.

Some children happily ran around under the tree. The scene was very harmonious.

Even Chris, who was being held by Mary, curiously looked up at the cherry blossom petals above his head.

Even when there was no wind, some petals fell.

Chris reached out to catch the petals. In the moment he looked up, a petal landed right on his nose.

He dared not move, afraid that the petals would fall off. This scene was very adorable and soothing.

Colette looked around and didn’t see Helena. She couldn’t help but pull Elbert’s arm. “Why hasn’t Helena come yet? Could something have happened?”

“That girl has always been fond of beauty. Previously, due to a small issue with her dress, she insisted on returning it and had the designer make modifications overnight. Maybe she is still angry with the designer over the dress,” Elbert said helplessly.

“The ceremony is about to begin. There should be no issues. I’ll give her a call to remind her.”

Saying that, Colette was about to leave. Elbert grabbed her.

“Don’t be too tired. You just got discharged a few days ago. These past few days, you have been busy with Helena’s matters. I know Helena has always held a grudge against you.”

Colette smiled gently. “Her mother passed away early. You cared less about her. It’s understandable that she holds resentment. I will do my best to make it up to her.”

“Colette, I am so lucky to have a wife like you. Peyton didn’t come today. Is she still mad at us? Kason is still unconscious in the hospital. She is our only biological child. I genuinely want to take good care of her.”

“I know you mean well, but that wild girl has been spoiled by her father since childhood. And her marriage has failed. She holds grudges in her heart. Don’t bother with her. When she gets older, she will understand.”

Colette felt a little angry when she thought about last night when she and Peyton had a falling out.

After she returned to her home country, it seemed that every time she met Peyton, it would always end in an argument.

She wanted to do her best to take care of Peyton, but Peyton was ungrateful and didn’t appreciate it at all.

In Colette’s eyes, Peyton was like a rebellious child. After Peyton’s rebellious phase passed, she could communicate well with Peyton.

“I’ll go contact Helena first. You stay here and watch.”

“Okay, don’t get too tired.”

Colette walked up to a cherry blossom tree and dialed Helena’s number. The call couldn’t be connected.

Colette wondered if Helena had already boarded the plane.

She started contacting people around Helena again, but she received an unexpected response. “Ms. Chase boarded the helicopter two hours ago. Hasn’t she arrived yet?”

It only takes a little over half an hour to fly from Aelford City to the sea island, but Helena has already been on the way for two hours and still hasn’t arrived.
