Chapter 334 Awkward Wedding Theo stood tall without much expression, but his usual intimidating aura had softened.
Sierra held onto his arm with a radiant smile.
Standing together, they were a striking pair, drawing teases from those around them.
As the guests slowly made their way inside, Sierra lifted her hands to pinch her cheeks, mumbling, "My face is going numb. I never expected a wedding to be this exhausting." Theo turned to her, saying seriously, "You'll walk down the aisle at our wedding toward me, looking absolutely beautiful." She had never been keen on having a wedding, but she wasn't about to let the stress of planning one scare her away either.

In a hotel room, Sophie stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself in her wedding dress while her friends showered her with compliments.
"You look amazing in that dress, just like a fairy." "You and Mr. Benson finally made it! It wasn't easy." "This dress looks expensive. It must've cost a fortune, right?" "I heard sVIP guests are coming. Can you introduce us?" Sophie lifted her chin as she looked at her friends with a sense of superiority. At this moment, her vanity was thoroughly satisfied.
She was finally marrying Benson. From now on, she would be Mrs. Gray.
"Benson personally picked out this dress for me. He wanted to have one custom- made, but there wasn't enough time, so we had to settle.
"As for the guests, they're all wealthy and influential-way out of your league. Even if I introduced you, you wouldn't have anything to talk about." The room fell silent as her friends exchanged awkward glances.
"Let's get your makeup done." One of them tried to ease the tension and quickly changed the topic.
The previous conversation was conveniently forgotten and the room soon buzzed with chatter once more.
As the makeup artist worked on Sophie, a few of the bridesmaids slipped out into the hallway.
"Just because she stole someone else's boyfriend, she's acting so high and mighty." "She used to be nothing compared to us." "Did you notice that Benson hasn't shown up once since this morning? Neither has the folks from the Gray family. They clearly don't take her seriously." "Did you see how she kept holding her waist and touching her stomach? Could this be... a shotgun wedding?" Their whispers grew more excited until they all burst into laughter at Sophie's expense.

"Benson, if you're dressed, can you cand helpchoose a hairstyle?" She waited, but there was no response, causing her impatience to grow.
Ever since the fight between them, things had been tense. Today was their wedding day, though it was crucial to her, and she couldn't afford anything to go wrong. So, she decided to compromise. Meanwhile, upstairs, Benson locked himself in his room, drinking. His suit hung untouched beside him.
"Benson, open the door," Jcalled from outside. "I know it's unfair to marry that om grandfather insisted. It's not like I had a choice either. Just get through the wedding for now. I'll figure something out later." Her words made the people standing nearby exchange startled looks.
All this time, they had thought Benson and Sophie were madly in phie were love and that they were finally having their happy ending. It was clear that this wasn't love, though it was a forced marriage by Edward.
