The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488

Teresa finally got it. Jonathan thought she’d go with the bride’s crew to the groom’s place, so he didn’t go. She thought the same thing. After all, it was the Lynn family’s turf.

Teresa awkwardly rubbed her arm and said, “You still got time to head back.”

Jonathan hadn’t seen Teresa in a few days, so he gave her a longer look and said, “I’m not going back. Let’s walk together. It’s not far from where we’ll

have dinner.”

“Okay,” Teresa said.

At the same time, at Donald’s house, they welcomed the bride. Donald and Jennifer got the Parental Blessing, and so did Hayden.

There was nonstop laughter and joy. Bright red decorations stood out in the middle.

Hayden sat in the center, looked at Jennifer, and for some reason, his eyes got watery.

Jennifer turned to Werner and Cathy, who also gave her their blessings.

Jennifer thanked Werner and Cathy warmly.

Werner and Cathy’s eyes got watery too.

They were deeply moved.

After that, Donald and Jennifer gave their vows and speeches.

People nearby teased them, asking if they’d have kids and how many.

“Yeah, eight,” Donald said, excited like he was drunk, hugging Jennifer and kissing her. The crowd cheered even louder.

Meanwhile, Teresa and Jonathan walked to the hotel. A motorcycle/sped past. Jonathan put his arm around Teresa’s shoulder, pulling her close.

He patted her shoulder and said, “You go inside.”

“Oh, thanks.” Teresa tried to calm her sudden flutter and didn’t look at Jonathan.

“The weather’s not great today,” Teresa said.

“Yeah,” Jonathan agreed, “But the temperature’s okay, not too hot or stuffy.”

“Yeah.” Teresa touched her ear.

Maybe because they were going to the wedding together, she felt an awkward, strange feeling she’d never had before.

The walk felt both long and short.

They soon got to Skycrest Grand Hotel. Teresa said in the lobby, “I’m gonna use the restroom. You go in first.”

“Wait,” Jonathan called after her and walked up beside her. He raised his hand and gently wiped her mouth corner. “Lipstick.”

Teresa grabbed his hand and said, “I got this.”

Chapter 488

Jonathan looked down, staring at her delicate fingers holding his hand.

Teresa let go and cleared her throat. “I’m going to the restroom. I can fix it myself.”

Jonathan put his hands in his pockets and watched her walk away.

At noon, the bride and groom’s group arrived at the hotel. The cameramen followed and got out.

The big wedding had “Donald loves Hannah” on a big screen.

To avoid problems, the wedding used the name Hannah.

There were thirty–two tables, with six or seven people each. It was pretty grand.

Sherry took Michael and sat him at a quiet table.

Michael shook his head and swayed, saying, “Sherry, so many people, and so much delicious food.”

Sherry put her finger to her lips and whispered, “Shh.” Michael nodded and whispered back.

Then, with a loud bang and the crackling of fireworks, the lights dimmed all around the venue.

The door slowly opened, and the groom, Donald, appeared at the entrance. In front of everyone, he held a microphone and started singing “Love Is Simple” as he walked toward Jennifer.

[I forgot how it started, maybe it’s just a feeling for you, you’re really so simple…]

Donald picked this song to start the ceremony because it reflected how he felt about Jennifer. Plus, the word “simple” in the title symbolized how Jennifer was to him. He loved her simple, genuine nature.

When Donald reached Jennifer’s side, Evelyn patted his shoulder and told him to take good care of Hannah.

“Mom, I will,” Donald replied.

Jonathan, sitting at the main table, heard Donald call Evelyn “Mom“. She was his former mother–in–law. Jonathan was a little sad.

Evelyn held Donald’s hand tightly, tears streaming down her face, and passed Jennifer’s hand to him.

Jennifer gently wiped Evelyn’s tears just for show.

“What a touching scene. The love between Mr. Lynn and Ms. Johnston is like a simple melody, pure and clear like crystal,” the host said.

The wedding went on.

“Today’s wedding is really packed with guests. The chairman of Horizonlead Group, Jonathan, is here too,” the host announced.

The spotlight hit Jonathan.

He stood up, waved to the guests behind him, gave a slight bow, and sat back down.

“Also here is the bride’s sister, Teresa, owner of Teresouth Group, sitting on my right,” the host continued.

The spotlight shifted to Teresa’s table. Teresa stood, bowed slightly, and took the microphone as planned.

The host said, “As Hannah’s sister, Teresa will sing a song for her. The song is At Least Still Have You.”
