A slap landed on her own cheek, the pain was quite clear.
She wasn’t dreaming.
In the morning, unexpectedly hearing from her parents that the man she has secretly admired for years and hadn’t had the chance to pursue was getting married today, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, regretted immensely, and wore a face of "my crush is getting married and the bride is not me" all the way here.
This turn of events is just too thrilling.
When the makeup team arrived, Audrey Sutton only made one request: "Could you please tighten the dress a bit? I want to look particularly professional."
The wedding dress chosen was off-shoulder style, subtly revealing her shoulders, delicate with a touch of soft sensuality.
When Shane Warner came back again, seeing Audrey Sutton after her meticulous dressing, a touch of amazement quietly passed through his eyes.
"Let’s go," Shane Warner said succinctly.
Audrey Sutton glanced at his crooked arm and, smiling, looped her arm through it.
When appearing in everyone’s sight by his side, excitement, tension, thrill... she didn’t know which mood to describe this craziness.
Her mind was blank, unable to hear the bustling discussions around, dared not to look towards her parents’ direction, only gazed forward following Shane Warner along the path paved with rose petals to the oath platform.
Audrey Sutton didn’t know what kind of consequences such impulsiveness would bring, she only knew when she uttered "I do," she fulfilled her wish of marrying the man she loved.

Dominating the top three topics, suddenly replaced by "#Explosive! Mrs. Warner replaced at the last minute#."
Immediately, the media dug out Audrey Sutton’s background.
The Suttons own ranches and vineyards ranked among the top ten globally, exporting worldwide, considered quite wealthy yet remarkably low-key.
The Sutton family has seven children, with Audrey as the only girl, ranked youngest, could be said to be the treasure held in the palm of the whole family.
Such a hidden heiress marrying Shane Warner, whom countless women adore, no one dares to say a word of mismatch.
While everyone marvels and admires this marriage, the Sutton family is not in agreement, of course, excluding Audrey Sutton from "The Suttons."
After the wedding ceremony, in the backstage lounge.
"This is simply nonsense! How could marriage be toyed with?!" Facing Samuel Sutton’s reproach, Audrey Sutton stood next to Shane Warner, head down, silent.
Samuel Sutton: "Take advantage now that everyone hasn’t left, quickly go out and explain things clearly. Playing around should not be taken this far!"
Audrey Sutton: "Dad, I’m not playing, I’m serious!"
Helen Holloway hurried to smooth things over: "In-laws, I know things are a bit sudden, didn’t have a chance to discuss with you, but I think Shane and Audrey are quite suitable for each other, besides our two families have been partners for so long, it’s perfect to become relatives now."
Audrey Sutton nodded vigorously.
Samuel Sutton worried for his precious daughter: "Audrey is just barely twenty, still has two years before graduating from university!"
Helen Holloway: "It’s okay, our Shane was a top student when he was in school, even gave a lecture at a university some time ago, he could tutor Audrey in her studies, I think it’s great, right, in-law?"
Hazel Yates smiled gently: "I know Shane is a good kid, but our Audrey is still young, we didn’t plan to let her marry this early."
Audrey Sutton quickly said: "Mom, I’m not that young, the legal marriage age is twenty!"
Also realizing her earlier lie about family forcing marriage was revealed, she stealthily peeked at Shane Warner, only to see him calm and collected, with a subtle smile, silent, standing upright.
"In-laws, many media came today, I reckon the news has spread by now, I think this is the decision of these two young people themselves, let’s not interfere, and just give them our blessing."
Audrey Sutton subtly nodded.
Samuel Sutton reached out and pulled her away from Shane Warner: "We’ll deal with you later!"
"Why not let it be for today, tomorrow morning I’ll take Shane to visit you, treat it as a proposal, the betrothal money should still be given, just follow the protocol and let this matter be settled." Helen Holloway laughed heartily, clearly very pleased with Audrey Sutton.
Or more precisely, very pleased with the Suttons.
Compared to the runaway branded heiress, Audrey Sutton marrying Shane Warner, not only a boon in adversity, it’s like picking up a treasure.
