Chapter 381: Wedding Reception (5)

After Nicholas Spencer, the host of the wedding reception opened the party with his remarks, he did not forget to introduce his daughter to all the invited guests. This was the first time all political leaders, state officials, military officers, and the whole family knew about his little daughter, Rose Spencer.

The guests, who didn’t know about Rose, were shocked. Instantly they were curious to see Nicholas Spencer’s daughter.

Soon, Evan and Rose entered the wedding hall side by side, holding hands. They both look so handsome and beautiful, putting all eyes only on them.

The two walked down the aisle to the mini stage and exchanged vows of love under everyone’s gaze.

While Rose and Evan are at the front to exchange vows, Noah Stone stood in the corner, feeling a surge of emotion from the bottom of his heart. This was the first time he had seen Rose in a wedding dress—she was as beautiful as a goddess who had come down from heaven. Her peerless beauty made his eyes stare at her—but sadly, the man by her side wasn’t him.

His heart, which had just recovered, was suddenly torn apart a second time. Unknowingly, his hands clenched tightly, holding back the pain in his heart. His eyes locked on the woman who smiled beautifully like a spring flower. She’s staring back at the man in front of her.

He couldn’t see it. Too painful.

Noah slowly closed his eyes, trying to clear his raging thoughts. But a second later, a soft voice sounded from his side...

"Brother Noah, why are you standing here?" Keira stood beside Noah and smiled at him. "Let me take you to your seat...." Keira has been assigned to be Noah Stone’s assistant at this party by her aunt Amanda Spencer.

But after watching a live show by Noah—before Rose and Evan showed up—she was so busy talking to her relatives that she forgot about her duties.

As soon as she came to her senses, she was surprised to find the empty chair where Noah was supposed to be sitting.

After searching for some time, she finally found Noah. He is in the back row and alone. Anyone who sees him would guess he is avoiding other guests or people.

Keira felt guilty for neglecting her duty as Noah’s assistant. But, after standing by Noah’s side, a sudden sense of embarrassment clouded her mind. Keira imagined this man, one day becoming her husband—her mother’s shameless grand plan had somehow haunted her mind. It felt like she wanted to run away from this place, hiding from Noah’s gentle gaze.

"It’s more comfortable here," Noah said slowly.

"Brother, we’d better sit there. That’s the chair that’s been prepared for you." Keira pointed to the round table where Rose’s best friend was sitting.

"No need." Noah shook his head. Then he looked at the stage again, his heart bleeding seeing Rose had just finished exchanging vows, and she kissed Evan. Noah wanted to disappear from that place. He couldn’t contain his emotions now.

"Keira..." His voice sounded shaking.

"Yes." Keira, who blushed when she saw Rose and Evan kissing, turned her gaze to Noah. Instantly she was surprised to see Noah’s face turn dark.

"What is it, brother Noah?" Keira asked, worried seeing Noah’s face; he didn’t look fine.

Is he sick?

"Keira, please tell Rose and Ms. Amanda Spencer if I have to leave now. I can’t stay here until this party is over...."

Noah decided to leave this place as soon as possible. He feared that what he held in his heart right now would be revealed if he met Rose. He didn’t want Rose to know how he felt, worried she would avoid him forever.

"Are you feeling okay, brother Noah? You look..."

Noah smiled as he gently patted Keira’s shoulder, "I’m fine. It’s just, I already have another appointment. So, I can’t stay here any longer..."

After saying that, Noah immediately felt something stuck in his chest, and his breath seemed to get shorter. He walked briskly out of the ballroom, carrying his wounded heart away from the place.

The further he went, the pain slowly tormenting him subsided, and his chest felt lighter.

Noah hated himself so much for not being able to control his feelings. Even though he had tried his best to accept that Rose was in the right hands.

But, for some reason, his heart still couldn’t seem to accept that. He knows this doesn’t seem right but can’t do anything about it.

Now, he just needed to disappear from this place, away from the woman he had loved for a while.

Keira stood where she was, looking at Noah, who slowly drifted away until his figure disappeared behind the door.

Soon the party resumed with dancing and lively chatter that could be heard at several tables in the hall.

Rose felt very tired after her friends and family took turns asking her to dance. Now, she sat in her chair and rested her head on Evan’s shoulder.

"Are you tired?" Evan’s soft voice was like medicine to Rose; Instantly, she felt refreshed.

"Hmm... Danny and the others forced me to dance. Geez! When we dance, they complain to me that they don’t have a girlfriend yet. It makes my ears bleed just hearing their outpourings." Rose sighed deeply, "I hope they will find their other half soon..."

Evan was chuckling.

"They also nagged me before about that. Do you have a candidate for them?" Evan holds her hand tightly.

"I don’t have any female friends. There were a few, but they were just friends for study groups, and we weren’t that close. Since graduating from college, I have never had any contact with them. Mmm... I had good friends in middle and high school. But somehow, after graduating high school, my best friend disappeared." Rose sighed deeply, "Right now, I only have male friends..."

"Yeah, I know that...." Evan smiled.

"Hubby..." Rose lifted her head and looked at Evan. "How about you? Did you have any female friends from high school that you could introduce to them?"

Rose knew Evan’s friends from college—he had no female friends, only her. That’s why she only asked about his high school friend.

Evan’s face turned stiff at Rose’s question. As if a rock had hit his calm heart lake, he immediately felt a ripple in his heart. His deep eyes were filled with unclear emotion as he replied, "None!"
