This little girl was such a cutie.
Anyone who saw her was going to fall head over heels for her.
As Hailey stepped out of the villa, she spoted a car parked next door.
She stopped and watched a man sitting in a wheelchair by the car door.
“Garrett…”
Hearing Hailey's shaky voice, Garrett Falsey slowly turned his head.
A smile shew up on his face.
“Hailey, I heard she's getting married today. Thought I'd swing by; you don't mind, do you?”
His polite tone made Hailey feel like crying.
She wanted to say, ‘I don't mind’, but worries Garrett's presence might mess up the wedding.
After all, for Eleanor Schultz, she hadn't seen or mentioned Garrett since their hospital goodbye.
She's sure Eleanor had moved on from Garrett. But Eleanor felt guilty about Garrett.
She feared Eleanor might feel even guiltier if she saw Garrett. But keeping Garrett from Eleanor seemed way too harsh.
Hailey never thought she'd be stuck in the middle between two good buddies, not knowing what to do…
Garrett seemed to catch her drift and gave a small smile.
“Don't sweat it; the wedding will go smoothly.”
He knew that he's no longer in his Eleanor's heart.
The girl who used to follow him around, calling him Garrett, had long moved on from him.
Seeing Garrett, his face pale from the cold wind, sitting in the wheelchair, Hailey felt heartbroken.
“Garrett, let's go see her.”
She stepped forward and took the wheelchair from Colter Clowers. She pushed Garrett slowly into the villa.
Eleanor's makeover was all done. The stylist had helped her into that insanely expensive wedding dress.
She standed in front of the mirror, swishing her long wedding dress train around, checking herself out, when she noticed the reflection in the mirror.
She lifted up her train and stared at the figure in the mirror, taking forever to finally turn around.
“Garrett…”
Hearing her voice made Garrett incredibly happy.
He’s so happy, he's on the verge of tears.
“I'm sorry. I know we agreed not to see each other. But I just couldn't resist coming to see you.”
“Eleanor, why didn't I think of putting diamonds on the wedding dress back then?”
It's a pity you can only have one wedding. Otherwise, he'd give her a diamond-studded wedding dress too.
Hearing this, tears started to stream down Eleanor's face. “Garrett, I'm sorry…”
She promised to marry him when she was young, but she let him down on the wedding day.
Garrett shook his head. To him, that wedding was a memory for the rest of his life. It wasn't perfect, but it's just a bit of regret.
But it's okay; he can witness her wedding with someone else. Even though he's not the groom, it's still a beautiful thing.
Seeing her cry, Garrett reached out to wipe her tears.
But he stopped before his hand can touch her face.
He's no longer entitled to wipe her tears.
Garrett slowly lowered his hand, smiling.
“Eleanor, you need to be the most beautiful bride today. Don't ruin your beautiful makeup by crying.”
“Garrett, I…”
“Dry your tears.”
Garrett interrupted her, gently comforting her.
