The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 173

Chapter 173 It’s my fault

For so long, the Maxwell massive mansion had never been so lively as it was that evening.

The enormous ballroom was decorated in a timeless and romantic theme, with a grand staircase leading up to a second–floor balcony, all–white floral decor and table linens, grand chandeliers, and crystal lamps.

All guests wore all neutral colors to blend in with the elegant theme, and even though guests had started arriving an hour ago, more were still coming.

The orchestra was playing soft classical music, and the guests enjoyed the scenery while they waited.

Slowly Peach’s eyelids shut as the makeup artist rubbed on the eyeshadow, and when Peach finally them again, there was still that smile plastered on the artist’s face as she admired her work.

The room door suddenly burst open and Mrs. Maxwell, Miss Grace, and all the ladies from the book club entered the room, their laughter widening Peach’s smile.

“Elijah is a lucky groom… His bride is really pretty.” One of the ladies said as they stood by watching Peach like some fascinating art piece.

“Of course, my son is lucky!” Mrs. Maxwell boastfully said, a look of pride on her face. “He finally learned to have good taste.”

A chuckle escaped Peach’s lips at the praise, and then she blinked back her tears, trying not to break down in front of the others.

For a while, the women stood there entertaining Peach and then Mrs. Maxwell noticed how Miss Grace was staring at her daughter, and she hastily told the other women, “Let go, and let our bride

get dressed!”

Staring after Mrs. Maxwell as she drove the other women away, Miss Grace smiled softly, and when Lisa looked back for a second and their eyes locked, Miss Grace whispered, “Thank you.”

“Let’s get you into your gown,” Miss Grace said when it was just her and Peach in the room.

Taking off the hanger a long white off–the–shoulder embroidery v -neck corset sequin a–line gown, Miss Grace smiled and said, “ Even though it’s my second time putting you in a wedding gown, I can’t believe how excited I am to do it again.”

“And I didn’t expect marrying Elijah for the second time to be just as emotional as the first time.” Peach said, beaming as her emotions bubbled up once more.

A moment later, after slipping the weightless gown on her body, Peach smiled as she curved her stomach, and her mother said, Look who’s finally showing?”

“I can’t believe I have been creating a little human in me for five months now…” Peach whispered. “I never knew a love like this existed until I felt Little Munchkin’s first kick. I can’t explain it-”

“It’s called unconditional love, honey.”

“Right… That sums it.”

After a silent moment, Peach said, “You should head downstairs. I will join you in a second.”
