Chapter 487
Teresa gave a soft hum.
Yesterday, after Jennifer left, Donald actually called Teresa.
He’d booked a five–star hotel and told Teresa, “Jennifer’s going from the hotel to the wedding.”
“Okay,” Teresa replied calmly.
She hadn’t planned to lend Jennifer the house and have the groom pick her up there.
“Teresa, one more thing. At the wedding, could you sing a song for Jennifer? She really loves an old song called At Least I Still Have You. If you sing it for her, she’d be really happy.
“Please,” Donald begged on the phone.
Teresa’s mind came back and she looked at Jennifer in her white wedding dress.
Jennifer looked back. Their fight and arguments from yesterday, plus Teresa’s sharp words, were still clear in her mind.
Jennifer hadn’t slept all night. She thought Teresa wouldn’t show up today.
But surprisingly, Teresa did. There was a hint of emotion and relief in Jennifer’s eyes.
Teresa’s phone rang. Evelyn said, “I’m with Isabel and can’t come over. Isabel and I are heading straight to the hotel for the meal. You stay and keep your sister company, okay?”
“Oh,” Teresa answered coldly.
“The wedding’s a big deal with so many eyes on us. No matter what, we can’t let people make fun of us. You get what I mean, right, Teresa?” Evelyn said.
Teresa stayed cold, “I’m not a kid. Don’t worry about me.”
After she hung up, another bridesmaid showed up shortly after.
“Jennifer, I’m late. Traffic was bad,” said the newcomer. It was Rebecca, Jennifer’s senior from Everport.
Rebecca took a day off from the hospital just to be Jennifer’s bridesmaid.
After saying hi to Teresa, Rebecca pulled her into a private room.
Rebecca checked Teresa out. She wore a loose beige blouse and a light pink long tulle skirt. Teresa rarely wore skirts that long, down to her ankles. Before pregnancy, she usually wore pleated or pencil skirts.
“Your belly’s not obvious yet. You can’t really tell in that,” Rebecca said.
“Posterior wall pregnancy,” Teresa replied.
Rebecca sighed. “Your sister told me the baby’s dad’s a jerk.”
“She is ” Teresa was speechless. She thought of Evelyn’s words and took a deep breath. “Rebecca, can we not talk about my baby?”
“Alright, fine. You’re going through a lot alone/You should find a good guy and get married again soon,” Rebecca said.
Teresa didn’t say more,
Rebecca didn’t push and went to find Jennifer.

Chapter 487
Miriam asked Teresa in a gossiping tone, “You know this bridesmaid?”
“We knew each other back in Everport,” Teresa said.
Teresa reached out and touched Miriam’s dress. “That purple really suits you.”
Miriam smiled. “It’s oks
but it’s not as nice as that starry blue dress I wore when I were your bridesmaid.”
Teresa stayed quiet. The past was gone. Nothing was left to say.
Miriam leaned in close and whispered to Teresa, “Hey, what about Michael? Who’s watching him today?”
Teresa said, “Sherry got back to me. I told her to take Michael to the hotel to grab some food.”
Miriam was surprised. “Wow, you’re really bold letting Michael go to your sister’s wedding.”
Teresa shrugged. “There were over thirty tables of guests. It’s fine. He really wanted to go, so I told Sherry to have Michael sit on the side.”
Miriam nodded.
Around ten, the groom’s convoy showed up at the hotel, making a big scene.
The hotel entrance was buzzing. Donald, in a black suit, came with the groomsmen to pick up the bride. The bridesmaids started causing trouble. One bridesmaid noticed Edward was good–looking and asked him to take off his shirt and do one–handed push–ups.
Miriam got upset and said, “No way. Let the groom do that, not the groomsmen.”
Everyone was surprised.
Edward said, “I have a girlfriend. No way.” After that, he winked at Miriam.
Then they focused on Donald.
He took off his jacket, kept his shirt on, and started doing push–ups.
The bridesmaids counted twenty. They stopped him, not wanting the groom to get too tired to carry the bride later.
Teresa heard all the noise outside but stayed inside the room.
Jennifer finally said, “Teresa, can you grab the bracelet on my table for me?”
Teresa looked at the turquoise bracelet. Jennifer explained it was a gift from Genevieve.
Teresa asked, “Isn’t Genevieve coming to your wedding?”
Jennifer said, “She didn’t want to come out. When I visited her, she gave me this bracelet. If you like it, it’s yours.”
Teresa said, “I don’t want it.”
Jennifer put it on herself, looking at Teresa with mixed feelings. “Anyway, thanks for coming.”
Teresa didn’t answer and turned away from her..
Outside, the wedding crew finally broke through the bridesmaids‘ challenges and came inside.
Donald held a bouquet and saw Jennifer sitting on the bed, wearing her wedding dress and perfect makeup. He couldn’t look away.
“Honey,” he walked over quickly and half kneeled in front of her, moved. “You look amazing today.”

Jennifer smiled softly.
Qe groomsman joked, “Donald’s lucky to marry the hospital’s beauty.” When he said that, he glanced over at Teresa standing by the curtains, locking
stunning
Donald laughed and told the groomsmen, “Nobody’s allowed to look at my wife. She’s mine. Hands off.”
They all respected that and turned around. Donald kissed Jennifer’s cheek, helped her put on her wedding shoes carefully, then carried her off the bed.
They proudly took the bride to the wedding car. Fireworks went off on both sides. Everyone got in their own cars.
The main car was a Rolls–Royce. It was Jennifer’s first time riding in one. Donald held her hand the whole time.
It felt like they’d just met yesterday, everything still fresh in their minds. And now she was his wife.
The car beaded to Donald’s place. Teresa didn’t go. Like Jonathan, she wanted to avoid suspicion. She figured Jonathan would be there, so she stayed
Axk
She planned to walk slowly to the hotel where dinner was. The weather was nice, not too hot or dry.
Teresa felt a cool breeze and looked up. She saw someone she knew so well. Teresa froze.
Jonathan hadn’t expected to see her either. Their eyes met.
Teresa was the first to speak. “What a coincidence. I thought you’d be at Donald’s.”
Jonathan paused for two seconds, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Rare. We actually think alike.”
