Just as Spencer and Erik were thinking about their bright future, Lucia and the others got on the car to West Cape Church. The car was filled with reporters from Prospect Focus Magazine, who were doing live coverage of the unprecedented engagement party, which, of course, was arranged by Spencer.
By this time, Eduard, who had a hangover and a splitting headache, was washing up and heading to West Cape Church alone.
Two hours ago, Kyle woke Arthur, Eduard and Kane.
Kyle arrived at the company today and found the door of the CEO's Office open. He thought it was a burglar, but he didn't expect to find Arthur and his friends lying on the sofa. There were also empty wine bottles scattered around them. In particular, Arthur was extremely drunk and his face suffused with abnormal flush.
Kyle went over to check on Arthur first and was relieved to find out he was just hungover.
Instead of waking all three, Kyle walked out of his office and called Sophie who was in USA. It turned out that Sophie had contacted Kyle alone when Arthur returned home, worried about his son's condition, and let him keep her informed of Arthur's every move.
"Madam, Mr. Davies and his two friends were drunk last night. They are still in the office, but I've seen his condition. He's fine."
"Is anyone with him?" Sophie asked quickly.
"Yes, Mr. Burton of Jibillion and Mr. Fletcher, Miss Webb's subordinate. They were with him last night."
"That's good... I'm just afraid that he'll have to bear all the pain on his own. It's good to have friends around... Can you wake them up and send Arthur back to rest?" Sophie urged.
"Yes, I'll wake them up right away," Kyle said before hung up. It was very difficult to wake up three drunk men, especially Arthur, who had been drinking too much. The first person to come to his senses was Eduard.
After being woken up by Kyle, Eduard sat on the sofa for a long time before coming to his senses. As soon as he came to his senses, he yelled out, "No!" And then he raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was 7:30 in the morning and he was relieved.
"I'm fine. If I don't make it in time, Arthur will blame me..." Eduard had a splitting headache, but he remembered the mission that Arthur had given him. He said to Kyle,
"Kyle, have a few people take Arthur and Kane back to Fragranerde Hall and send a car to take me home. I have something important to do today."
"Okay, I'll get right on it," Kyle said, and immediately arranged for Eduard to be driven back to his apartment before having security help escort Arthur and Kane back to Fragranerde Hall.
As soon as Eduard came home, he saw Daphne sleeping on the couch under a thin blanket. It seemed that she had been waiting all night for him.
Idiot. He had told her that he was with Arthur and Kane.
Eduard walked over to the couch and gently patted Daphne awake.
Daphne opened her eyes in a daze, and before she knew it, she smelled alcohol. She wrinkled her nose and rubbed her eyes,
"Eduard, have you been drinking all night?"
"Well, Kane and I got Arthur drunk, or we wouldn't know how to spend the night..." Eduard whispered, rubbing the top of Daphne's head.
"I thought you were coming back... so..." Daphne murmured.
"Don't wait up for me, you idiot. And don't sleep in the living room in case you catch a cold," Eduard worried about Daphne.
"I see," replied Daphne obediently, and then asked worriedly, "You must not feel well after so much wine. Go take a shower and get some rest."
"I can't do that," Eduard said. "Arthur asked me to go to Lucia's engagement party today. He dared not go himself, but he wanted to know what was going on, so I had to do it."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"But your body..." before she knew it, Daphne was getting used to taking care of Eduard.
"It's all right," Eduard said, smiling sweetly as Daphne worried about him. "I'm hanging in there."
"I'll go with you," Daphne suggested.
"No," Eduard said flatly. "You adore Lucia so much that you wouldn't be able to bear to see her walk into the church with Spencer."
Daphne frowned and thought for a moment, then answered frankly, "Maybe I'll run up and take Lucia away."
"If Arthur knows that your idea is the same as his... you might be able to snatch the bride together," Eduard teased casually, but his words were filled with concern for Arthur.
"So when are you leaving?" Daphne didn't smile, because she knew Eduard wasn't kidding.
"I'll leave right after washing up. The ceremony will be held at 11 o'clock on the dot. I'd like to see how good Spencer looks today," Eduard said as he stood up and told Daphne to take good care of herself. Then he went to wash up and got dressed, then he set off for the West Cape Church.
By the time Eduard arrived at the church, Lucia's motorcade had just arrived, and the limousines were entering the church in an orderly fashion. Spencer was already waiting with his father at the church entrance. When the invited guests arrived, the crowd marveled at Spencer's generosity.
It was just an engagement party, and Spencer planned it better than the wedding.
In addition to the solemn atmosphere of the church, which could not be changed, there was a beautiful path of roses outside, arranged by Spencer to take the morning's roses. The roses were beautiful, and they exuded a refreshing fragrance, adding an extremely romantic atmosphere to the scene. On both sides, there were staff members waiting for setting off fireworks and scattering flowers. As soon as the motorcade arrived, everyone was ready to start. Spencer stepped forward and faced Lucia's car.
Sitting in the car, Lucia turned to look at Spencer, who was walking over with a smile on his face. She glanced at the extravagant decorations around her, feeling nothing but ridicule.
This engagement party from beginning to end was arranged by Spencer. She was just an outsider. There was no sense of participation, only to cooperate with the process.
The door opened, and Spencer's cheerful voice rang out, "My Beautiful Lucia, it's time to get off."
Even though Lucia frowned when she heard Spencer's affectionate words, it didn't stop Spencer from feeling amazed when he saw her.
