Although Michael Lees never smiled throughout the ceremony, he still put the ring on Isabella Harrison's finger.
Arabella Vanderbilt sat in the front row, watching Isabella Harrison's hand tremble slightly as she slowly slipped the platinum ring onto Michael Lees's distinctly jointed ring finger.
In that moment, Arabella Vanderbilt saw a tear from Isabella Harrison fall to the ground.
Arabella Vanderbilt was filled with conflicting emotions of joy and sorrow.
Congratulations, Isabella has finally fulfilled her lifelong wish.
Unfortunately, another challenging chapter of her life is just beginning.
Someone beside her took hold of her slightly cool hand, the broad palm offering a warm, continuous touch.
She turned her head to look at the man next to her, feeling a serene tranquility in her heart.
Soon, she would become this man's wife.
The salvation he provided was the direction of her heart for a lifetime.
