Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

786  Chapter 786: Wedding Day

The wedding day finally arrived.

It was sunny in the morning, and a small crowd of no more than thirty people had gathered in the garden of the newly established Phoenix Mansion in the suburbs of New York.

Chloe and Vernon had a private wedding because they wanted it to be intimate.

On top of that, Chloe and Vernon didn't have many family or friends. So they thought it was better to invite no more than thirty important people in their lives rather than inviting random guests they barely knew.

Vernon stood at the wedding altar with the officiant. He wore a black suit with a red rose brooch. It was Chloe who sent the brooch yesterday, telling him to use it today, and he naturally obliged.

His gaze swept across the guests, ensuring nobody would ruin the important day.

The day that he had been waiting his whole life.

He saw Diamond and Meyer sitting together. They had cemented their relationship, and it seemed to be going strong, mostly because they had a mutual goal and similar habits. They were still a workaholic who had decided to work with Chloe and Vernon until they retired someday.

Behind them, there were Diamond's brothers. Vernon already knew about their attraction towards Chloe, but he didn't mind much as he already felt secure about his relationship with Chloe.

Dorothea was sitting at the front alongside the boys. They were sitting in the same row, and they kept on chatting.

His eyes accidentally met with Dorothea's, and she smiled at him.

Vernon didn't smile back but nodded.

He had acknowledged Dorothea's effort to raise the boys. They were now much better and seemed to have forgotten about the traumatizing event that happened six months ago.

Aaron was still the same quiet boy from before, but the child psychiatrist said that Aaron had recovered. He was naturally reserved after facing the harsh reality of life since he was young.

But he was happy now, and as long as he didn't experience the same abuse he had with Chelsea before, he would be just fine.

Vernon stared at Aaron for a while until he noticed Vernon's gaze. He glanced at the inside of the mansion, signaling him to go and walk with the bride and flower girl inside because Aaron was tasked to be the ring bearer.

Thus, Aaron hopped off the chair and rushed inside the house through the side door.

He looked at the back of the seat and saw Priscilla and Nigel sitting together with their phones ready to record the whole thing. Vernon had invited them to come because he wanted to share the good news with none other than his brother.

After all, his brother must've been dying to see the wedding in person.

Lastly, he saw none other than his first cousin, Henry Grant, who seemed to have a lot on his mind but still came to attend the wedding.

He was the only cousin Vernon was ever close to and the one who had never schemed against him.

As Vernon was busy checking everything, the MC finally announced the bridal entrance. The guests stood up, and the pianist and violinist started playing.

[Music: Piero Piccioni - Amore Mio Aiutami.]

The door was opened, and Vernon felt he could faint out of joy.

His heart was tight as he stared at Chloe holding a bouquet of white flowers. She was covered in a veil and walked alone as she had no more family members from her side.

Mackie and Aaron walked as a flower girl and a page boy.

Aaron stood straight and walked carefully while holding a cushion with the wedding rings on it.

While Mackie was busy throwing petals around.

Her pregnant belly had gotten obvious, but Chloe didn't try to hide it at all. She wanted everyone to know that she was pregnant and Vernon was the father.

Her beauty was ethereal, and Vernon found himself falling in love all over again for every second he stared at her.

Yet, she looked lonely as she was walking alone.

Vernon knew he wasn't supposed to do this during the wedding, but he could no longer hold it. He didn't want his beloved soon-to-be wife to look sad and lonely during their special day.

So he stepped down from the wedding altar and walked towards Chloe instead.

The guests were surprised, but Vernon ignored their confusion and walked beside Chloe.

Chloe was also visibly confused and asked with a low voice, "What are you doing? You're supposed to wait at the altar."

"And watching you walk alone in the aisle? I don't care about some tradition. I can't bear to see you walk alone," Vernon said. "So put your hand on my arm, and let's walk together to the altar, Love."

Chloe was astonished, but she smiled as her heart melted into a puddle. She wrapped her hand around Vernon's hand and said, "Don't walk too fast. The dress is a bit restrictive around my leg, and I'm wearing heels."

Thus, Chloe and Vernon walked together towards the altar. Everyone's eyes were on them, but everything was blurry for them except for the altar.

Once they reached the altar, they stood facing each other, with the officiant standing in the middle.

The officiant finally began the official wedding ceremony, and everyone solemnly listened to what he said.

"… They promise to embrace conflict as well as peace; to work as well as play; to struggle as well as coast; to give as well as receive; and to be with, stay with, and move toward one another."

After the officiant finished the introduction, the MC asked Diamond, the bride's best friend, to do her reading.

Diamond walked to the front, wearing the fuchsia dress she had been dying to wear for Chloe's wedding, and finally, after almost a year of waiting, she could finally used this dress that had been shelved for so long.

She stood near the altar and opened the speech she prepared on her phone.
