Chapter 18
The wedding was held on an auspicious day.
The Bronner family valued Eloise very much, and the wedding was held on a grand scale.
Eloise’s wedding dress was custom-made, with each diamond on it being a collection from Leandro’s youth. The sparkling diamonds were set on the hem of the wedding dress, emitting a dazzling light.
Zackery, on the other hand, wore a neatly tailored black suit, with sharp shoulders that accentuated his tall and straight figure. His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the edges of the velvet box, turning white from the pressure.
He couldn’t help but check himself for any inappropriate details, looking at Eloise who was approaching not far away, Zackery felt happy and nervous at the moment.
Because Eloise had a very poor relationship with her dad, Grayson Claire, they didn’t even invite him to the wedding.
Walking slowly up the stage with Eloise was Leandro, an idea proposed by Laurel.
Leandro seemed to sense Eloise’s unease, and he glanced sideways at Eloise, who was about to become his child. His expression was gentle and kind. “Elle, if that brat Zack bullies you in the future, just tell us and we’ll take care of him.”
Eloise was touched by these words, her eyes slightly red. Her throat felt like it was being blocked by something, and she struggled to speak. “Okay, Dad.”
Leandro’s face lit up with a big smile. He had always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately, his wife suffered serious injuries after giving birth to Zackery, and he couldn’t bear to see her take any more risks.
Eloise walked slowly past the altar, her gloved hands trembling slightly.
Her ten finger wounds were almost healed, but the nails had not grown back yet. There were ten unsightly scars at the site of the finger wounds.
So Zackery found her a breathable mesh glove to help with her wound recovery. Eloise still remembers the heartache Zackery felt when he saw the wound.
Eloise’s hand was placed in Zackery’s hand, and Leandro looked at his son, solemnly saying to him, “Zackery, these words I am telling you as Eloise’s father. I hope you always remember the responsibility on your shoulders, love and respect her. I also hope you hold onto your principles.”
A few words made Eloise burst into tears instantly. She hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, not wanting anyone around to see.
Zackery wiped away her tears and then replied to his father solemnly, “Dad, I know what I should do in the future. I also hope that you and mom can treat Elle as your daughter, love her and care for her.”

Leandro chuckled at his own son’s audacity, teaching him a lesson. But Leandro also understood that it was because Zackery truly liked Eloise. He replied, “Okay.”
Not far away, Yvonne raised her phone and took a picture of the scene, inexplicably with tears in her eyes.
Watching Eloise happy, Yvonne was actually quite pleased. This was the deal she had made with Zackery – she helped Zackery marry Eloise, and Zackery promised her a condition.
She hadn’t figured out this condition yet, but Yvonne knew that Leon was not a good person. However, Eloise at that time was stubborn. As a last resort, she asked her father to help force Eloise to leave.
Zackery was a good person, at least much better than Leon. And Zackery has liked Eloise for many years, he knows better how to take care of Eloise.
But sometimes Yvonne would also wonder if what she was doing was right. Now, seeing the joy on Eloise’s face, all doubts in her heart disappeared.
She quietly said in her heart, “Sister, happy newlywed.”
Let the grudges of the previous generation be left to them. From now on, they all have to live their own lives well.
Eloise seemed to sense something and looked over at Yvonne. In that moment of eye contact, Eloise gave her a big smile.
She mouthed, “Thank you, Vonnie.”
Yvonne saw clearly and tears welled up instantly. She dared not look into Eloise’s eyes anymore, and instead lowered her head to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Eloise and Zackery went around the table toasting, and when it was Yvonne’s turn, Eloise pulled out two gifts from behind her and placed them in front of her. “This is my gift for you, and Zack’s gift card for you.”
Looking at the two gifts, Yvonne choked up a bit. “Sister, brother-in-law.”
Zackery was very happy and he kept toasting her with several glasses of wine, getting Yvonne drunk.
She told him that Yvonne was the only family she had in this world. Even though they had their disagreements and conflicts in the past, Yvonne was not a bad person at heart.
Eloise couldn’t bear to watch anymore and pulled Zackery aside. “What if you get her drunk later? What will we do if she feels unwell?” Zackery had no choice but to give up.
Yvonne, who was a bit confused, heard Eloise expressing concern for her and grinned at Eloise with a toothy smile.
Eloise paused for a moment and rubbed her head.
Just then, there was a commotion at the door. Everyone turned to look.
