Chapter 557 - Wedding day (S&F) (11) (1/2)
Wedding party was in full swing. Guests are enjoying. There is a large variety of food and beverages, music is soothing, and large number of guests are on the dancefloor. Some guests are in the playroom and few are in the swimming pool. There is something for everyone and the atmosphere is celebratory.
Sophia and Felix cut the 8 tier majestic white cake which had edible flowers snaking around each of the layers.
Sophia changed into a more comfortable white dress with tan details and flats, and she was not dancing with Felix only if she was sitting to rest her legs.
As for Sylvie, she got two more rounds of anesthetic.
Bridgette approached Sarah and JoAnna asking if they know something about unusual change in her mother's behavior. Two of them admitted that they kinda-drugged her mother. Bridgette expected something like that, seeing that her mother is not moving for more than three hours, but still when she got a confirmation, she was shocked.
”Bridgette…”, Sarah spoke. ”As my friend, Sophia's sister-in-law, and JoAnna's assistant, you should know that we are not going to tolerate being bullied. How we retaliate depends on how we are attacked. Your mom had every intention to ruin this wedding. She does not care about Felix, Sophia or anyone else who was involved in making this wedding happen. My mom warned her to not cause trouble, and she disobeyed. What do you think we should do to her?”
Bridgette exhaled. ”Maman is not easy to deal with. She will not forget this.” Then she thought for a moment. ”Did you say that she is aware of everything, just can't respond?”
Sarah and JoAnna confirmed.
Bridgette smirked. ”Steve, come… let me introduce you to my mom.”
Bridgette took Steve's arm and walked toward the table where Sylvie was seated.
Sarah looked at JoAnna and mumbled. ”She didn't answer how we should deal with her mother...”
JoAnna shrugged. ”I guess she does not care.”
Sarah and JoAnna wanted to punish Sylvie somehow. It was obvious that woman is not giving up. But what can they do? She is Felix's mother. They can't do anything harsh, while anything soft will probably not give any results. They decided to talk to Stella.
…
”Maman, this is Steve.”, Bridgette sat on the chair few spots away from Sylvie, so that Sylvie can see her (since she can't turn her head).
Steve sat next to Bridgette.
Bridgette continued: ”I know you can't respond, and that is fine. I just need you to listen. Steve is my boyfriend. He is someone very important to me and he takes good care of me. We are living together. I am happy, and I'm doing well.”
Bridgette was silent for some time while observing her non-moving mother. ”I guess that's it. I have nothing else to say.”
Steve gave a small nod to Sylvie before standing up and walking away with Bridgette.
If this is a cartoon, there would be steam coming out of Sylvie's ears how angry she was.
…
Inside villa…
”There you are.”, Stella almost sang while closing the door of the study behind herself. ”I was looking for you.”
Edward didn't respond.
”You don't look happy.”, she noticed his mood.
Edward glanced at Stella and forced a smile.
She sat opposite of him and observed him in silence.
It took a long time before he spoke. ”It's more difficult than I thought it will be.”
