Ariel couldn't be bothered about the consequences anymore. If anything went wrong, Jayson would handle it.
By the time her makeup was finished and she had slipped into her wedding dress, it was already 10:30 am.
She patted her cheeks to wake herself up a little. Meanwhile, Jayson had also changed into his custom-tailored suit.
With his tall, athletic build, Jayson looked stunning. Ariel rarely saw a man who wore suits as well as he did—it was as if suits were made for him.
Jayson walked up to Ariel and cast her a sidelong glance. "Ms. Walker, you might want to hide that lustful look in your eyes. Where's your self-restraint?"
Ariel wasn't flustered in the slightest. Even after years of marriage, she still found Jayson attractive.
Then it hit her—they were running late. She grabbed Jayson's arm and started pulling him toward the door. "You're way too chill. We're already behind schedule."
Jayson held her hand. "We're taking this car."
They climbed into a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Ariel blinked in confusion. "We're not using a wedding car?"
Jayson raised an eyebrow. "Nope."
Ariel didn't understand his reasoning, but she didn't press the issue. She yawned and closed her eyes, trying to rest.
After the past few grueling weeks, she felt like a super soldier. She didn't want to waste a single moment of rest, especially knowing how exhausting the day ahead would be.
The last-minute testing their superiors had requested days ago had pushed her to her limits.
Seeing how tired she was, Jayson teased, "Should we just call off the wedding?"
Ariel shot him a look. "You want to call off the wedding after making all these preparations? Grandma and the others will kill you."
A mischievous glint sparkled in Jayson's eyes. He didn't seem concerned. "The process doesn't matter much when the outcome's the same."
Ariel couldn't deny he had a point. Still, today's wedding was a grand affair. Top media outlets were invited to cover the event. Influential families from across the country had flown to Eldoria to attend.
It was publicly announced that Bluum Corp's owner was getting married—and that his daughter was celebrating her one-month milestone.
