When There Is Nothing Left But Love

It was getting dark. The banquet took place in the hotel after the ceremony.

It seemed that Emery was the one who gathered the crowd to witness Ashton’s proposal. Actually, I preferred a simple love to a passionate one.

The wedding was very grand and the guests were all prominent figures of the city. All of them were greeting and toasting each other.

It was hard not to attract the other guests’ attention when the Moore family and Ashton Fuller kept focusing on me.

Ashton whispered in my ear. “Are you nervous?”
