Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Heidi was upset by this, and her disdain was reflected in her expression as well.
Meanwhile, Josephine wasn't interested in the food. Instead, she felt that the
wine served here was delicious and sweet, and she liked it a lot.
“Connor, Ellen will be coming over for a toast later, right? I don't think we've
prepared any gifts. What should we do?” It was only then that Olivia remembered
they should prepare gifts when attending a wedding banquet.
“I heard it's not necessary. We're just here for a meal, Connor replied. Olivia
couldn’t help but be amazed at the Presgraves’ generosity. She hoped that she
could grab the chance to be on good terms with Ellen when the latter came over
for a toast.
Soon, Ellen made her appearance at the banquet, and she accompanied Jared
during the front-row toasts. Just as Olivia was wondering when Ellen would come
over, she noticed that Ellen had already finished toasting and was being escorted
away.
“Mom, Ellen isn’t coming here for the toast,” Selena commented in a small voice.
“She's looking down on us,” Olivia said, secretly furious.
However, Jared and his best man were stopping by every table for the toasts. He
treated every guest with proper respect, and the guests also got up and clinked
glasses with the bridegroom as they gave him their best wishes.
Josephine had her head lowered as she looked at work-related matters on her
phone. Suddenly, she felt some pressure on the back of her chair as though
someone was pushing it. At the same time, Heidi gave Josephine’s dress a sharp
tug under the table, signaling for Josephine to get up for the toast.
Josephine hastily pushed her chair back and took her glass as she stood up. Just
then, she realized Ethan was standing right behind her. She couldn't help the
sudden hastening of her heartbeat.
“Uncle Connor, please enjoy yourselves. I sincerely apologize if we overlooked
anything.” Jared singled Connor out by mentioning the latter, so Olivia could only
plaster a smile on her face as she said, “You're so handsome today, Jared! I
hope you'll have a happy marriage and have your own children soon!”
Selena wanted to clink glasses with Ethan, but she realized that Ethan was
standing behind Josephine. Josephine sensed that someone had taken the
initiative to touch their glass against hers, and when she turned to look, Ethan
was raising his glass at her with a captivating smile on his lips.
“Congratulations, Mr. Presgrave.” Heidi gave her best wishes as well. After the
toast was over, Josephine finally let out a sigh of relief. The morning banquet
ended at around 2.00PM, and she heard there would be another banquet at night
accompanied by a dance hall, a show of fireworks, and a cruise.
In the wedding room, Ellen removed her makeup and changed into a comfortable
set of pajamas. With Jared by her side, she took an afternoon nap. She was
easily fatigued these days. Since she was in the early stages of her pregnancy,
she couldn’t get much food down her throat, and her weight didn't increase at all.
After Ellen had fallen asleep, Jared went out and spent time with his friends. He
went to Ethan's villa, and the two sat on the rooftop garden as they chatted.
“Jared, how much do you know about a girl called Josephine Jacobson? She's
one of your guests. Do you know her background?” Ethan took the initiative to
ask Jared for information.
When Jared heard that, he glanced at Ethan with a teasing look. “What's the
matter? Have you fallen for her?”
“No, but after encountering her several times, she seems to be an interesting
person.” Ethan would never admit that he had fallen for Josephine, for his pride
wouldn't allow it.
