Novel1Chapter 336 A Happy Day One of the guests commented, "She's not from our circle and more like a Cinderella. Mr. Benson actually dumped his fiancée for her." "Stop talking nonsense. She's Mr. Theo's wife now." Benson's steps faltered as his gaze locked onto Sierra in the crowd, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
The guests followed his line of sight and were instantly stunned, their minds racing with thoughts about the tangled love and resentment between Theo and Benson.
Noticing the subtle glances directed at her, Sierra froze slightly and instinctively reached for Theo's sleeve. Sensing her movement, Theo remained calm, taking her hand in his and giving it a reassuring pat. "It's fine." With just a glance, the emcee immediately caught on. He quickly strode over and pulled Benson toward the stage. "Looks like the groom is eager to meet his bride! Let's not keep him waiting-please welcthe most beautiful woman of the day!" Sophie was already in a bad mood because Benson hadn't responded to her messages or shown up earlier. Now, seeing him staring at Sierra so openly, she felt utterly humiliated and furious.
As the originally planned ceremony was hastily shortened, it was harder for her to maintain her forced smile. The closer she got, the clearer it became-Benson's face lacked the joy.

Gripping the hem of her gown tightly, she struggled to keep her expression in check. Forcing a stiff smile, she ended up looking even more awkward.
The guests weren't fools. They could all tell something was off.
"Looks like Mr. Benson still loves his ex-fiancée... who's now his aunt." "I heard Sophie was the mistress." "They don't look like they're getting married. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were being forced into skind of grudge match." Sierra watched the scene unfold on stage with a flood of emotions washing over her. There was a twhen she had imagined her own wedding with Benson countless times. She never expected that one day, she'd be standing down here, watching him marry someone else.
She didn't feel heartbroken as it was just a deep sense of life's unpredictability. Suddenly, her hand was squeezed firmly, so she turned to look.
Theo, with his perfectly chiseled profile, remained expressionless. She instinctively squeezed back in confusion. And so, they continued-one squeeze, then another-completely lost in their own little game, oblivious to Jand Liam's dark expressions.
Sensing the growing tension between the bride and groom, the emcee made the quick decision to omit the unnecessary parts of the ceremony and push straight through the main events.
Before long, the formalities were completed.
"And now, let's congratulate the newlyweds on their union!" As the emcee's voice rang out, the banquet hall filled with applause.
Everyone was smiling-everyone except the bride and groom.
After the ceremony, Sophie changed into another dress and clung to Benson's arm as they made their way through the hall to toast the guests.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one else was nearby, she lowered her voice, hissing, "It's our wedding day. Could you at least try to smile? Does marryingreally make you that miserable?" Benson didn't even spare her a glance. Simply raising his glass, he answered coldly, "If it weren't for the baby, I wouldn't be here at all."
Sophie hadn't expected him to be so blunt. She quickly scanned the area to make sure no one had overheard isuse her before swallowing her frustration.
and forcing a strained smile.
"Benson, now that we're married, we're the closest to each other.
o'm You're the only oneand my child can rely on. Even if it's just for the child's sake, can't you at least try to be happy?" She had finally accepted the fact that Benson felt absolutely nothing for her. So, she changed tactics, using the child as a means to tie him down.
This time, Benson's gaze finally shifted and fell on her stomach. He didn't say anything, but his expression softened.
