the red envelopes."

Phoebe patted Morris on the back. "It's okay. I used to think you'd be a bachelor forever, but thankfully, I was wrong! It's almost time. You should head out now. Don't keep Cherise waiting. And don't be stingy. Give out Morris nodded, glanced at the photo of Cherise on his phone, and smiled brightly. With a spirited shout, he declared, "Let's go!"

At his call, his groomsmen-Truman, Steven, Leo, and Hugh-also got excited. "Let's go fetch the bride!"

The group set off in a grand procession, accompanied by numerous gifts, forming a long line of luxury cars heading towards Carson's lakeside island.

Above the convoy, countless drones hovered, capturing the beautiful moments of their special day.

The impressive procession attracted many onlookers.

Morris had implemented extensive security measures over the past few days, and the crowd was well-

behaved, praising the union of Morris and Cherise.

Phoebe had instructed the servants to distribute red envelopes along the way, adding to the festive atmosphere and demonstrating their appreciation for this marriage and her new granddaughter- in-law, Cherise.

The sound of helicopter rotors filled the air, and someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Wow, it's a helicopter!"

Another shouted, "Look, there's more than one! There are more behind it!"

"Oh my, what a grand gesture! Look at the

banners! They say, 'Congratulations Morris and Cherise on your wedding, may you grow old together!' 'Morris and Cherise, a hundred years of

happiness, and may you have many children!"

"Cherise, my ambitions are great. I want to be with you not just this lifetime, but lifetimes to come!' There are so many banners."

"Wow, there's not just banners, but also flower petals falling from the sky. This is such an extravagant wedding!" As the person exclaimed, everyone looked up to see several helicopters showering the area with flower petals.

The petals, upon closer inspection, were from roses, tulips, violets, and gerberas-all symbols of love.

"This is so romantic. What girl wouldn't be swept off her feet by this? Only Morris could pull this off. You need money to do something like this. I wish I could have a wedding like this. I'm so envious of the bride."

Many people captured the spectacle on their phones and posted it online, sparking a flurry of discussion. Some envied Cherise, others marveled at Morris's romantic gesture, and many praised the luxurious wedding procession. There were no negative comments. Everyor The journey wasn't long, but for Morris, it felt endless. Glancing at the bouquet in his hand, he

called out, "Hugh, speed up. I can't wait any longer."

"Uh, can we?" Hugh asked in disbelief.

"Of course, hurry up. Stop dawdling."

With Morris's command, Hugh spoke into the walkie-

talkie, "Everyone, speed up!" Within ten minutes, they arrived at the dock opposite the lakeside island.

For the wedding, Carson had arranged for a dozen private yachts to ferry the groom's party to the island.

Xenia stood by the window, watching the scene unfold. "They're here, they're here. I see the groom. Cherise, get ready," Xenia had been tense all morning

Hearing that Morris had arrived, Cherise began to feel excited. She stood

up and checked herself in the full-length mirror one last time.

Seeing this, Dora said, 'Cherise, you're already thenoveldrama

most beautiful. Don't worry. Just sit on the bed and wait for Morris to come and get you."

Indeed, with her bright red lips, a simple yet elegant champagne-

colored wedding dress that accentuated her figure, and her flowing hair draped over her shoulders, Cherise looked

stunning,

Reassured by Dora's words, Cherise glanced out the window and then sat back down on the bed.

Meanwhile, Morris had entered Carson's house.

Carson's wheelchair was positioned at the head of the room, with Oliver seated nearby, though not in the main seat. Jacob had not come, feeling too ashamed for his past wrongs towards Cherise. Also present were Dennis and Bella, Marlon, Trent, Liam, Cherise's uncle and

aunt, her cousin Jason, and other relatives of hers.

Seeing Morris leading a group of equally dashing groomsmen, the elders nodded in approval.

After exchanging greetings, Carson laughed heartily, "Go fetch your bride. It's rare to see you so eager!"

With that, everyone burst into laughter. The lakeside island was rarely so lively.

Following Carson's words, Morris, without losing his manners, quickly led his groomsmen towards the small villa where Cherise was waiting.

The villa was beautifully decorated by the bridesmaids, with balloons and streamers everywhere.

Morris walked in, familiar with the place, and went upstairs, finally reaching Cherise's door. Seeing the red double happiness character on the door, he took a deep breath and then exhaled. "Why aren't you knocking? I'm waiting to give them the red envelopes," Truman said

from behind, noticing Morris's hesitation.

For the

first time, Morris felt an overwhelming sense of nervousness. After a moment of steadying his breath, he knocked on the door.

As soon as he knocked, Leo called out, "Ladies, come get the red envelopes! The groom is here to fetch the bride!"

Unexpectedly, the door opened immediately, without any suspense. It was Cherise herself who opened the door.

Seeing each other, the bride and groom stood still, simply gazing at one another, perhaps due to the days they hadn't seen each other.

The groomsmen and bridesmaids behind them were taken aback.

Truman, with a twitching mouth, said, "Xenia, why didn't you hold the door? Why were you so eager? Didn't I tell you to block the door tightly for a while so the red envelopes would be bigger?" Xenia didn't respond, shrinking her neck.

Crow, dressed in a bridesmaid's dress, spoke up, "Boss said she wanted to see her husband quickly. Boss has needles. We were scared and didn't dare block

the door. Just give me the red envelopes directly. It's easier and saves our voices?
