The Bride He Took For Granted novel Chapter 10

< The Bride He Took for Granted

Chapter 10

October 1st. Wedding day.

Because of Victor’s official position, the wedding was closed to all media. No press allowed.

It was said to be a low profile ceremony, but everyone who came was a heavyweight from both political and business circles.

Harold’s father was among them.

The Nash family had a long military background. Harold’s father rarely stayed in Los Angeles, but his rank and influence were higher than Victor’s.

Victor and Ruth personally received the guests.

Old Madam Nash also came. She disliked flattery, so she wandered around the venue on her own.

Looking at Elise’s greeting photo with its faint smile, she muttered regretfully to her daughter in law,

This girl is too proper for her own good. I thought she’d o

break things off with that Carter boy after the banquet

Her daughter in law sneered.

“She’s basically used goods now. What choice does she even have?”

Old Madam Nash shot her a cold glance, thinking to

herself,

“You swooped in to marry into the Nash family while taking advantage of the situation, and you still think you’re better than her. Covered in your own dirt and calling others monsters.”

Of course she did not say it out loud. That would only embarrass everyone.

Her gaze returned to the greeting photo.

“Which studio did this? Why do Elise’s legs look so short? Her waist so thick? And her chest so flat?”

She was actually a fan of Elise’s looks and even used her photo as a phone wallpaper before.

Elise had a slim waist that looked like it could be broken

with

a single hand.

Her daughter in law glanced at it dismissively and thought the old lady was being overly critical.

In the picture, Elise looked like she had the figure of a beauty pageant contestant.

In the dressing room, after Elise finished her makeup and styling, Landon walked in wearing a suit and froze.

Elise in a wedding dress looked like this?

An off shoulder fishtail gown, the white fabric making her skin glow. Her neck line was elegant and alluring.

She was talking to Chloe with her head lowered. The moment she looked up at him, his breath stalled.

For a second, he regretted not taking proper wedding photos with her.

The photos displayed outside were all edited by Elise.

Because he had been guarding Joan constantly, worried his parents might target her, he had not had time to take wedding photos at all.

“Baby, you’re beautiful.” Landon said sincerely.

It was genuine. Not love, just his aesthetic judgment.

Elise curled her lips slightly and said nothing.

Chloe immediately stepped in front of Elise, blocking Landon’s gaze.

“Who are you calling baby? Didn’t your baby get killed off and sent back for reprocessing with that woman? Go call

her in hell.”

Didn’t you lose that baby with that other woman? Go call her “baby” down in hell instead.

Landon had never been someone who tolerated bad

attitude.

Except Joan.

He loved Joan. He thought her temperament was special, different. He was willing to spoil her.

But Chloe was another matter.

“Watch who you’re talking to. If not for Elise, you wouldn’t even have the right to stand in front of me.”17:10

Chloe swallowed the rest of her words, remembering something.

Elise held Chloe’s hand and asked Landon, “Did you bring the ring?”

Landon had come precisely to talk about that.

The custom ring had arrived. It was a pink diamond Elise liked, but Joan liked it too.

Joan never accepted his gifts and never spent his money.

But she truly liked that ring.

She said she knew she could never be his wife, but she wanted something to mark their relationship.

Joan was proud, yet for him she had already crushed her dignity.

How could he refuse something as small as a ring?

Elise had worn countless luxury pieces. She did not lack

one ring.
