Hugh Ronan's reason for not wanting Wendy Wayne to be a bridesmaid was simple. If his fiancée went up on stage at the wedding, who would be his female companion?
Wendy Wayne heard his righteous retort and was caught between laughter and tears, "You've said it all. I've only accompanied you to a few events in the last couple of months. All these years, I've never seen you lacking a female companion."
Hugh Ronan was rendered speechless, glanced sideways at Wendy Wayne, and stopped talking.
...
On April 29th, Hugh Ronan and Wendy Wayne set off for Zenith City.
As one of the bridesmaids, Wendy naturally had to go to the Ronan Family's garden to greet them in advance.
Hugh Ronan, being a junior member of the family, also had to pay a visit.
The Ronan Family's driver drove the two to the garden, and as soon as Wendy Wayne got out of the car, she saw Lucy Ansley coming out from inside to greet them.
"Little Lucy."
"Sister Wendy."
