One Night Surprise Chapter 53

Chapter 53 To Steal You Away? In Your Dreams

“Start the car and head to Royal Park Manor,” Britney said to the driver the moment she got into the car, completely ignoring the manager as he chased after her.

She was supposed to get fitted for her wedding dress today; it wasn’t like Alexander had no idea how important this day was for her. Furthermore, he hadn’t made his suit yet and was meant to be fitted for it today as well. They had already booked the designer, and Alexander’s schedule had been completely cleared for this. Why would he cancel the appointment all of a sudden?

She suspected that Jordan, the little pest, was the one pulling the strings.

Meanwhile, Courtney had just arrived at the engagement party’s venue. After she showed her invitation, she picked up the gifts that she had prepared and stepped into the banquet hall.

An entire floor of the restaurant had been booked for the engagement party itself. It was decorated lavishly with helium balloons festooning the place. All the guests here were either wealthy individuals or people of high standing.

Courtney surveyed the place, but she didn’t recognize anyone there. She had never been quite used to situations like this, so she silently walked over to a corner and ate.

In the dressing room on the second floor, a gaggle of people dressed in party finery surrounded the soon-to-be bride Vanessa. They were her classmates from her days at university, all of whom she hadn’t seen in a long while. Currently, they were all flattering Vanessa, envious words and titters tumbling out of their mouths.

“I’ve always thought that you were the prettiest out of all our dorm heads back then, Vanessa. You and Isaac practically look like a match made in heaven.”

“When your wedding comes, you’ve got to let me be a bridesmaid. Perhaps I’ll be able to snag a guy out of the groomsmen.”

“You’re so stunning. I heard that Isaac hired an Italian designer to personally design the dress that you’re wearing, right? Doesn’t it cost over 200,000? Let me touch it.”

Vanessa let out a giggle as she caressed her gown. “I guess it’s pretty alright. What’s 200,000 anyway? No regular person can just hire this designer, though.”

Isaac was neglected in the corner as this went on, growing more irate by the minute as Vanessa continued to talk. With that, he simply left the dressing room and headed out into the corridor, lighting a cigarette as he walked. He glanced over the banisters in boredom to observe the merriment one floor down, looking as though he was an outside observer.

“You’re about to get married. Why do you look so glum?” asked Ezra Arneil, who was Isaac’s best friend. He playfully slipped an arm around his shoulders. “Don’t tell me you’re having last-minute regrets, are you?”
