BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1299 - The Most Important Man In Sarah's Life
"Are you OK?", Sophia\'s voice startled Leah.
"Yes. Why?"
"Because you are staring at that plate with cheese for five minutes without moving.", Sophia responded with a knowing look.
Leah sighed. She glanced around to make sure they are out of everyone\'s earshot before responding: "Do you remember asking me if I\'m OK with Isi being here?"
Sophia understood what Leah means. And she expected something like this. "I see… Did Isi approach you?"
"No. Do you think that she wants to approach me?"
"To be honest, I saw that she is looking your way."
Sophia\'s comment made Leah frown. If Sophia noticed, who else did? Did Pam notice!?
Seeing that Leah is not saying anything, Sophia continued: "I don\'t think that she will approach you while her date is next to her, but there is still a long way to go and her date will need to go to the restroom or maybe he goes to play some game without her and she decides to seize that opportunity… what will you do then?"
"What do you mean?"
Sophia rolled her eyes. She is not sure if Leah is pretending or is she really not getting it. But seeing how nervous she is, maybe she just needs a clarification from someone on the outside: "It\'s obvious that she wants to talk to you. What will you do if she wants to… reconnect?"
Leah waved her hands defensively. "No. That is not possible."
Sophia wondered, if Leah does not want to get back with Isi, why is she so nervous? A simple \'no, thank you\' will end this, and there is no need to stress about it. And then she thought of a possibility… "Does Pam know about Isi, and that she is here?"
"No.", Leah admitted.
"You should talk to Pam.", Sophia reminded Leah.
"Why? There is no need to get her worried over nothing."
"Leah, if I noticed that you are off, so did Pam. The difference is that I had a good idea what got you all worked up while Pam probably thinks that she did something to upset you. What will you do if Isi decides to talk to Pam instead of you? Or if Pam overhears your talk with Isi? Regardless if you plan on going back with Isi or not, Pam should get a heads up."
Leah panicked. "Why would Isi talk to Pam?"
Sophia shrugged, indicating that she is not sure. "Maybe Isi wants to find out how you are doing, or to confirm if you are seeing anyone. Since Isi is watching you, she definitely noticed that you and Pam are close and can see her as a good person to ask about you."
Leah showed a weak smile. "It\'s not that I don\'t want to tell her, but I don\'t want to hurt her. No one wants to hear stories about previous lovers of the current partner."
"You told me that you like how Pam is willing to have your relationship public, and now you are the one with secrets. She will be hurt more because you are not talking to her."
"I know. Thanks."
At that time, Sarah and Aiden walked out while holding each other and their appearance made guests erupt in cheers and claps.
Sarah\'s grip on Aiden intensified. She expected the commotion, but this is still overwhelming. Why did the people swarm around them?
In response, Aiden held her closer to him, and gently squeezed her waist, giving her assurance that he is by her side and he hopes that she knows how he will always be there for her.
Sarah looked at her dashing husband who is wearing white pants and a shirt with light green pockets.
Sarah\'s white swing dress is hugging her chest with light green details high on her waist and then the light fabric bells down to her knees.
Their outfits are comfortable, just like Aiden said: dance appropriate. Her white sandals will definitely allow her to dance for a long time without any fatigue.
Both of them are wearing white with few light green details and that makes it couple\'s outfits!
Her green eyes met his dark ones and his calm and confident expression made Sarah\'s anxiousness disappear within a second.
"Give them some space!", JoAnna shouted while making her way through the guests. "Jeez! If you keep on suffocating them, they will escape back into their room."
"Keep the limit of no more than one group at a time!", Bridgette said when she emerged from behind Sarah and Aiden. "If someone is talking to them, stay at least three steps back and wait your turn."
"And watch the outfits!", Ellie exclaimed while stepping next to Bridgette.
"Oh, they get a celebrity treatment!", Emma teased.
"It\'s because you guys are treating them as such." JoAnna responded. "They got married and as much as they want to share this happy occasion with all of you, they want to stay in one piece for their honeymoon."
JoAnna made an unhappy face at Aiden while gesturing with her hand toward the guests: "THIS is why you hire wedding planners!"
Sarah and Aiden laughed.
"It\'s OK.", Sarah responded while trying to defuse the situation. She knows that JoAnna means well, but some of the guests are not so familiar with her mouth with no filter. "Everyone is excited. We are excited as well."
Before JoAnna could protest, Sarah held JoAnna\'s hand in hers. "Thank you, Anna. You are the best."
JoAnna paused for a second and then smiled brightly. "Good that you know it."
On the upper terrace…
"Look, look… they came down…", Stella excitedly waved at Edward to come to the edge so that he can see down.
"Yes.", Edward responded unenthusiastically without moving from his seat.
"What\'s up with you?", Elanor asked, curious why Edward\'s mood dropped suddenly.
Stella looked at Edward and sighed helplessly. She answered instead of him: "Going down means father-daughter dance. That is the last thing he gets to do as the most important man in Sarah\'s life. After that, Aiden takes over."
Elanor burst into laugh. "If you didn\'t notice, my Aiden is THE most important man to Sarah from a long time ago."
"Don\'t remind me.", Edward grumbled.
In the next instant, Edward was shocked that someone is yanking his ear. Who would dare to do such a thing?
"You brat!", James scolded Edward while pulling his ear and making him stand up. "Why are you acting like this is about you? Is she happy? Is the young man of her choosing treating her well?" James narrowed his eyes at his son while waiting for an answer.
"Yes, and yes.", Edward said eventually.
James snorted. "This is Sarah\'s day. You acting like a child will only spoil it for her. Right now I want you to put on a smile. You will have plenty of time later to be a grumpy father who has difficulty accepting that his daughter is a grown up."
Stella and Elanor wanted to laugh, seeing how Edward can\'t retaliate against his father but both of them controlled themselves because there is a danger that James will scold them as well. He is scary.
"If he is not willing, I will do it."
Everyone turned toward the voice to see Owen standing and looking at Edward. "As Sarah\'s Uncle, I can do it, right?"
"Dream on!", Edward scowled. It might be difficult to let go of his baby daughter, but there is no way he will let Owen to take the father-daughter dance from him!
Edward straightened his back and tugged on his jacket lapels. "I\'m going down. If you don\'t want to miss the father-daughter dance, you better not linger."
