Ophelia let out a 43bf959954 small sigh as if f2d8e6bca5 she didn’t want to 8571016e27 continue the conversation. However, her fanning 26ad5d22f6 pace didn’t slow 9a8f1fcdfe down, perhaps because 1461f4f521 she was still ffe5f3ff58 feeling awkward.a0da5e4564eee8bc

Serena stared 2cabd72c96 blankly at 6a52bc84b5 the fan 8b3fdd53ea before adding, e3c675a83a “I really f8bb53d558 meant it b2c18294c6 when I 605f4e663d said it dcc9b8b714 suits you. I’m being sincere, so ebc53f274a don’t take it the b92661993a wrong way.”f94009e4de29a28d

Ophelia, looking somewhat 358e92ccc7 exasperated, folded her d0ed212459 fan and placed 65c22a2192 it on the 17bcb2b3f3 table.d25d22b9612a4874

Just then, the officiant 8a6a8ac07c finished their speech, and edd6910bf7 Lydia began walking down cbe70e21dd the aisle, holding Marco’s f3becb2358 hand. Serena glanced cce157cd38 over at 1fe12e6943 Azaid, who f219a0e14b gave her a641812496 a signal.2c8c2715f20719d4

Lydia, who clearly loved 65121fd8a3 to show off, had 20199e1f2a invited far too many fcd545cdf4 guests. It seemed that 2573227997 checking every face a89aecae29 during the ceremony c136ed2bd1 had proven impossible.d98850b597ba259e

Her words ff1f415255 were laced b33bcfbf6a with thorns, 69495f3333 as though 6b414fa775 she still 6fe3cd3228 harbored resentment 26f7df6373 about the 7256df53de past, but 01373589b3 having seen cdaf77b8d3 a surprising b24479fd26 side of ef06dbed2f her earlier, 9038e47521 Serena didn’t d75a734b7d feel offended.

In her previous life, 576987a505 she had remained silent, 8014bd31a3 shrinking away, and blaming f3f7dc2a0e Azaid for everything. But in this life, d0778dd68e when she began to 38f63354aa speak up first, the f0eb14cf76 situation improved dramatically.27a7f31bc5fde394

Ophelia asked sharply, clearly 0c43775a05 harboring a lot of 81b2dfd649 pent-up frustration.
