The Presgrave staff assigned to send the wedding invitation to the Aguirres had to hand- deliver it to Connor before he could leave, and it sure as hell was an adventure for him, for he had to ask for directions several times before he was finally certain which was the Aguirres’ address.
After climbing five levels of stairs, he cross- checked the address while heaving before knocking on Connor’s door, and the person to answer the door was none other than Connor himself. “Can I help you?”
“Hi, are you Mr. Connor Aguirre? I’ve been assigned to deliver invitations for the Presgrave Family. Please accept your invitation.” “The Presgrave Family’s invitation?” Connor exclaimed with excitement as he accepted the invitation. “Yes. It’s the wedding invitation of Young Master Presgrave and Miss Reiss. We look forward to seeing you there. I’ll be off now.”
After seeing the staff away, Connor sat excitedly on the couch and looked through the invitation. As he read the name, a pang of guilt hit him, for he never thought Ellen was still willing to invite him to her wedding even though he had done so many terrible things to her.
Just then, Olivia returned home, and she instantly questioned upsettingly when she saw her husband looking at a wedding invitation on the couch, “Who’s getting married this time? Don’t tell me it’s another family asking for wedding gifts!”
“This… This is Ellie’s, Connor revealed, shocking Olivia. She snatched the invitation from him and huffed while looking at the name. “To think that wretched girl is lucky enough to actually marry into the Presgrave Family.”
Suddenly, she stared at Connor and asked, “Say, Connor, do you think Ellen invited you or all three of us?” “You guys just stay here. I’ll go alone.”
“Why? I’m her aunt. Why can’t I go? And Lena’s her cousin. She has the right to go too!” Olivia’s life was absolutely miserable now. There was no way she would miss out on such an event. After all, it wouldn’t be bad if she could at least eat a feast!
However, Connor was insistent. “You just stay here.” He didn’t want to bring his wife along because he didn’t want to upset Ellen. Actually, even he felt somewhat ashamed to attend her big day.
“What do you mean I stay?! Well, I’m going, and that’s finall. Just then, the main door opened, and Selena. came in listlessly. Seeing that her parents were arguing again, she exasperated, “Do you two have to yell at each other every day?! Give me a break!”
But just as she was about to enter her room, Olivia stopped her. “Lena, take a look at this. We’re going to a wedding!” “Not interested.” Selena turned and walked away. She couldn’t even be bothered to meet people now, let alone attend a wedding.
“It’s Ellen’s wedding. Olivia revealed, causing Selena to immediately turn around just as she was about to step into her bedroom. “Ellen’s wedding? She’s getting married? Let me see!” she demanded as she charged toward Olivia.
With that, she picked up the wedding invitation. Connor and Olivia were so focused on the bride and groom that they didn’t take a good look at the venue.
“Mom, they’re getting married on a private island. Dad, can we go?” Selena turned excited at once. She absolutely needed a high-end event like this to relax, and since it was on an island, it would mean that she could enjoy an all-expenses paid trip for a whole week! “What? An island?! Let me see!” Olivia snatched the card away to verify it herself.
“Dad, you’ll take us with you, right?” Selena gazed questioningly at her father, who was in a dilemma. Should he really take his wife and daughter with him to the wedding? After all, they used to treat Ellen terribly. I’m honestly too ashamed to let them tag along.
“Connor, why don’t you give Ellen a call? Cajole her and see that she’ll allow Lena and me to attend.” Olivia was dying to go to the wedding at this point. After all, a place like that was genuinely somewhere that expanded one’s horizon.
If they missed out on this opportunity, they sure as hell would never get a second chance to have fun on a private island. Hence, they had to go, even if they had to beg shamelessly. “I’ll make a call before anybody makes a final decision. I’ll see if Ellen will welcome you guys,” said Connor in the end.
At that, Olivia and Selena glanced at each other. Right then, they wanted nothing more than for Ellen to say yes. That said, they felt just as guilty about everything they did to Ellen. Now that they needed to beg her, they hoped she would let it slide.
