Hailey, seeing them bickering over a gift, stepped forward, took the bag, looked at them, and said, "I'll hold this for you guys. Whether you want it or not, we'll talk about it after the wedding. Don't waste time."
Hailey's reminder made Eleanor firm in her decision and eased the tension on the Laurences' faces.
Bernard glanced at Garrett again, seeing the man in the wheelchair unabashedly staring at Eleanor.
He felt a bit uncomfortable and sympathetic. These complex emotions made him feel irritated.
He simply took Eleanor's hand and headed for the backyard.
Eleanor followed behind him and quietly asked, "Are you getting jealous again?"
Bernard, full of pride in his voice, said, "Me, jealous?"
He would never tell her that his heart almost broke when she ignored him and walked toward Garrett.
Eleanor glanced at the hand tightly holding hers, and a happy smile appeared on her lips.
He's afraid of her leaving but wouldn't admit it. He's like a proud peacock who won't acknowledge it.
She looked up at Bernard's handsome side and said, "Peacock, where are we getting married?"
Bernard lowered his head, furrowed his brows, and asked, "What peacock?"
Eleanor dropped the hand that was holding her dress and patted his arm. "It's the nickname I just came up with for you. Do you like it?"
Bernard, who had been annoyed by her twice on their wedding day, pinched her cheek and said, "You wait, you'll regret it tonight."
Eleanor lifted her chin and moved closer to him. "If you don't like it, we can switch to 'jealous king'."
Bernard: ...
Eleanor hugged his arm and shook it. "Quick, tell me, where are we getting married?"
The man looked at her acting cute, and his unsettled heart found comfort in "Ireland."
Ireland is a place where divorce is forbidden.
Choosing such a place was to tell her: In his marriage, there's no divorce; only death do us part.
They both, dressed in white wedding attire, laughed heartily and walked toward the lawn.
Before Colter could finish, Garrett interrupted him, saying, "Just tell me what gift you want."
Colter looked at the pale man and gently shook his head. "I don't need a gift; I just hope you can cheer up."
Let go of the past thirty years' memory and look forward; there is still a long time waiting for him.
As the president of the Clowers Group, he didn't need to stay stuck in one place for a woman who no longer loved him.
Garrett looked up again at the sky. The helicopters were still flying toward the blue sky and white clouds.
"Colter, if you live your life only for one person, you'll find that you can never move on."
"And, look..."
Colter followed his gaze to the sky and said, "Look at what?"
Garrett smiled and said, "Look, the weather wasn't this good on the day of our wedding."
This proved that he was not Eleanor's perfect match; only that guy named Bernard was. Because even the heavens were blessing them.
