Chapter 195 Orderly
Because the date was suddenly set, there was extremely limited time to prepare for the wedding, but the process turned out to be exceptionally lively.
Besides the children and Isolde's involvement, Noah also mobilized his strongest connections to quickly finalize the venue and arrangements.
The place he booked was a luxurious hall that required a year's advance booking and was impossible to get even with money, which clearly showed his attitude toward this wedding.
Moreover, Noah bluntly made numerous demands of Killian, "I don't care how you manage to do it, but you absolutely cannot let Lena suffer even the slightest grievance!"
"Her willingness to marry into the Thorne family is our good fortune. If you can't even appreciate a blessing that's handed to you on a silver platter, can you still call yourself my grandson?"
Killian found both these words amusing and exasperating, feeling that Noah was even more invested in the wedding than he was.
But as anxious as Noah was, what he said was absolutely right.
He also wanted to give Lena the very best, so he poured his heart and soul into arranging the wedding.
For the first time, Killian found himself overwhelmed by countless trivial details, from handling paperwork to confirming dates, from seating arrangements to guest favors.
While doing everything himself, he seemed a bit flustered, but this didn't affect his mood at all.
What could be more wonderful than being with Lena? Even if preparing for the wedding was physically and mentally exhausting, he wouldn't complain one bit. Instead, he was filled with anticipation.
He looked forward to seeing Lena in her wedding dress, slowly walking toward him—that moment would surely be breathtakingly beautiful.
Compared to Killian's panic, Lena was much calmer. She handled the wedding details while maintaining the family's rhythm, not letting the wedding affect their work.
As the wedding day approached, she shared the good news with her friends one by one and sent out invitations.
When Robert learned that she and Killian were getting married, he wasn't surprised at all and said with a smile, "Finally decided to get married—congratulations!"
Outsiders might not see Lena and Killian's situation so clearly, but as Lena's friend and colleague, he had been quietly watching all along.
He always felt that Lena and Killian were well-matched, whether in appearance or ability—they were beyond comparison with others.
Moreover, Robert could tell that although Lena used to struggle with whether to be with Killian, her feelings for him were impossible to hide.
People in love are destined to be together, just a little later than expected.
Robert was genuinely happy for them. True love finally finding its way—he had witnessed this moment.
"I didn't expect to make the decision so quickly either," Lena said with a light laugh, brushing her hair aside. "But Killian treats me very well. After all we've been through together, reaching this point is quite natural."
She wanted to share this happiness with her friends, hoping they could feel the joy in her heart too.
"Of course," Robert said with a smile. "You have no idea how much people envy you. You and Mr. Thorne are a perfect match—couldn't be better!"
"How's the wedding preparation going? Is everything going smoothly?"
Hearing Robert's concerned inquiry, Lena nodded gently. "Although it's a bit rushed, it's going pretty smoothly. Everyone's putting their all into it, wanting to make this wedding perfect."
Not only were she and Killian wholeheartedly preparing for the wedding, but the children, her mother, and Killian's grandfather were all contributing their efforts, too.
They all hoped the wedding would be held successfully without any regrets.
"That's good," Robert breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion, "Then I wish you a happy marriage!"
Hearing her friend's sincere blessing, Lena's face beamed with smiles.
The outside world was also paying great attention to this wedding, with discussions running high.
"Mr. Thorne and Lena really are a couple. Who would have thought they'd actually get married—what a surprise!"
"What's so surprising? They had history, and I heard they even have children together. Isn't marriage the natural thing to do?"
"Killian came out on top in the end. Who could have predicted that Alfonso would lose so completely?"
"Killian was always the heir recognized by the Thorne Group. It's not surprising he beat Alfonso."
"I wonder how grand this wedding will be. I heard Noah mobilized his own connections and is actively helping with the preparations!"
Faced with all the chatter from outside, Lena remained quite calm.
She and Killian had been through too many storms and setbacks, so reaching this point no longer felt surprising.
They weren't getting married on impulse, but after careful thought and thorough consideration, and with the approval of their elders and children.
Although holding a wedding wasn't easy and there were many details to attend to in the preparation, they were enjoying every bit of it, without any complaints or dissatisfaction.
Killian even personally accompanied Lena to the bridal shop to have her dress custom-made, refusing to overlook even the smallest detail.
"Lena, what style do you like?"
Hearing Killian's question, Lena replied with a light laugh, "The wedding dress doesn't need to be too fancy, just elegant and appropriate."
But this was their wedding after all, an especially important day in their lives, and Killian didn't want to just brush it off casually.
He personally communicated with the designer, asking her to deliver the most spectacular work in the shortest time possible.
Seeing Killian personally handling even these small matters, Lena smiled.
She had indeed chosen the right person. Someone who truly cares about you and refused to overlook even the smallest details—that was someone who truly cared for and loved her.
"Alright, don't be so particular."
"How is this being particular?" Killian sat down beside her, smiling as he gazed at her. "Anything related to you cannot be taken lightly."
"I know you take this wedding very seriously, but I think more important than a ceremony is having each other in our hearts."
Lena smiled and took his hand, saying earnestly, "Killian, I hope every day from now on can be peaceful and happy."
"Me too."
Killian smiled and embraced her, as if making a promise, "I will definitely treat you and the children well and won't let you suffer even the slightest grievance."
Much less let them be harmed—that was his bottom line and principle.
Lena hugged him back and nodded firmly, "I believe you."
