This is the third post of the day. This chapter concludes the story.
On 8/20, it ranked 1st in the monthly overall ranking!
It also ranked 1st in the daily overall ranking on the night of 8/18, and 1st in the weekly overall ranking on 8/19 and 8/24. Thank you all so much! m(_ _)m
When I checked again on 9/30, I was surprised to find it had ranked 1st in the quarterly overall ranking. It's all thanks to everyone.
Thank you for reporting the typos; I have made the corrections.
"Wow! Edith, you look just like a princess!"
Archie, her face glowing, ran happily to Edith, who was dressed in a pure white wedding gown.
Bathed in the sunlight streaming through the window, the silk dress, specially ordered by Lionel from the most renowned tailor in the capital, shone brilliantly white, accentuating Edith's delicate beauty. With each step Edith took, the delicate lace at the hem of her dress fluttered gently. On her left ring finger, the diamond ring given to her by Lionel sparkled beautifully.
Edith, her cheeks flushed, gently stroked Archie's lustrous black hair.
"Hehe, Lady Archie, thank you. You look very cute too. The light pink dress suits you so well."
Archie smiled happily and turned around.
"Ah! Brother Craig and Lady Eugenie are here too!"
At the spot where Archie waved, Craig, with a broad smile, and Eugenie, with tears of emotion in her eyes, were holding hands affectionately.
"Edith, you look so beautiful. ...We wouldn't have made it to this day without your support for my brother. Please take good care of him from now on."
"Thank you, Lord Craig. I am grateful to Lord Lionel for bringing me to this happy day."
Edith, exchanging smiles with Craig, had her hand tightly held by Eugenie, whose large eyes were filled with tears.
"Lady Edith! How beautiful you are. Lord Lionel has recovered, and now the two of you are finally together... It's all thanks to your strength and deep love. Congratulations, truly."
"Lady Eugenie, thank you for always supporting my noble education. From now on, as a good friend and future family member, please continue to take care of me."
With a warm smile, Edith's words made Eugenie look up at Craig with a delighted smile. Archie also watched the three of them with a happy smile.
When Archie noticed a figure appearing from behind, she beamed even more widely.
"Lord Lionel!!"
Lionel, who had run up to him and hugged him, gently embraced Archie back. Then, turning his gaze to Edith, he looked at her with a dazzled expression, squinting his eyes.
"Edith. ...Ah, you look like an angel. You're so beautiful, it's hard to believe."
"Lord Lionel, you look truly handsome...!"
Lionel, dressed in a midnight blue tuxedo, was breathtakingly beautiful. As Edith, captivated by the sight of Lionel in his tuxedo, let out a soft breath, Lionel chuckled and kissed her hand lightly.
"Edith, are you a little nervous today?"
"Yes, a little. But talking with Lady Archie, Lord Craig, and Lady Eugenie has helped me relax."
Craig and Eugenie both smiled at Lionel.
"Brother! Congratulations on your marriage!"
"Congratulations on your marriage, Lord Lionel."
"Thank you, Craig, Eugenie. ...Next, it's your turn."
Seeing the cheerful smiles exchanged, Edith felt a warmth in her chest. The once awkward and cold relationship now felt warmly melted.
(Ah, finally, everyone can laugh from the heart. That's good...)
The Marquis Granville, watching from a short distance away, wiped away the tears in his eyes and approached Lionel and Edith.
"Congratulations today, Lionel, Edith. ...Lionel, to see you recover and reach such a joyous day, I am... indescribably happy."
After a moment's hesitation, the Marquis Granville smiled gratefully at Edith.
"Edith, you supported Lionel during his most difficult times and brought light to the Granville family. I don't know how to thank you. Thank you so much."
"I am grateful to the Granville family for warmly welcoming me. Meeting someone as wonderful as Lord Lionel is the greatest fortune of my life."
Lionel, exchanging smiles with Edith, looked at his father.
"Father, I've caused you a lot of worry. But thank you for always believing in me."
"Of course, you are my precious son. ...Now, everyone is waiting for you."
Nodding at his father's words, Lionel gently took Edith's arm and looked up at the clear blue sky outside the window.
"Edith, shall we go? ...Your parents must be watching over you from above."
"Yes, I feel that way too, Lord Lionel. And I'm sure your mother is too."
"Ah, yes."
In the dazzlingly clear sky, Edith could almost see the smiling faces of her parents, who were blessing her from above.
Looking up at the sky, Edith's eyes narrowed with emotion as Lionel whispered in her ear.
"I will definitely make you happy. My beloved Edith."
Lionel, with a radiant smile, gently kissed Edith's forehead.
Edith, her cheeks tinged with a blush, looked up at Lionel with a full smile and, taking his arm, stepped forward into a future filled with hope.
