He pulled Gabrielle to sit on a chair on the terrace and opened the champagne.
With a light “pop,” bubbles happily came out.
Zachary poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Gabrielle.
“For our future.” He raised his glass.
“For our future.”
Gabrielle also raised her glass and clinked it lightly with his.
The crisp sound echoed in the quiet garden.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then finished their champagne in one go.
The sweet wine slid down my throat, bringing a taste of happiness.
Zachary took care of all the wedding preparations.
Gabrielle just needed to say what she liked, and he took care of the
rest.
Considering Gabrielle’s current status, it wasn’t a good idea to draw too much attention.
The two decided not to have a big public wedding.
Just held a simple and private ceremony in the villa’s garden.
The only guests invited were just a few of Zachary’s closest friends he

trusted most, like Roger.
The wedding was set for a week later.
Zachary was incredibly efficient.
Top wedding dress designers worked overnight to make a simple yet elegant wedding dress just for Gabrielle.
Venue setup, food choices, and schedule were all well–organized.
Zachary pretty much used up all his connections and resources.
Just to give her a wedding that was simple but perfect enough.
Gabrielle looked at him as he bustled around, and felt really touched.
This man always showed his love through actions.
The weather was especially sunny on the wedding day.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the carefully arranged garden lawn.
The white roses and lilies gave/off a fresh scent.
The guests had already arrived, all with sincere blessings on their faces.
Roger played the role of best man.
There was no bridesmaid, because Gabrielle didn’t have any friends who could take on that role in this brand new world.
But this didn’t affect the warmth and romance of the wedding.
When Gabrielle showed up at the end of the red carpet in a white wedding dress, holding Zachary’s arm.

Everyone held their breath.
Today, she was as beautiful as an angel fallen to earth.
With a happy and shy smile on the face, and eyes shining with hope for the future.
Zachary was dressed in a white suit, looking handsome and tall, and the way he looked at her was full of affection and love.
The two of them slowly walked toward the wedding altar.
No complicated process, no long speeches.
Only the simplest and most sincere vows.
“Zachary, did you want to marry Irene, no matter…”
“I will.” Zachary almost blurted out, his voice firm and loud.
This brought a burst of friendly laughter from the guests.
The witness smiled too and looked at Gabrielle.
“Irene, did you want to marry Zachary as his wife.”
Gabrielle took a deep breath and looked at the man in front of her, the one who was about to spend the rest of his life with her.
Her eyes were incredibly clear and determined, “I do.”
Exchanged rings, shared a passionate kiss.
With blessings from their friends and family, they finished this simple but meaningful wedding.

That past Gabrielle, and all her misfortunes, were completely history.
Her life turned to a brand new page.
The celebration lunch after the wedding was relaxed and cheerful.
Roger walked over with his wine glass.
“Zachary, little sister and brother, congrats to you.”
“Thanks.” Zachary put his arm around Gabrielle’s waist and felt great.
“Little sis, if Zachary ever picked on you in the future, just tell me, I’d help you deal with him.”
Roger was joking.
Gabrielle smiled, “He wouldn’t.”
She looked at Zachary, her eyes full of trust.
Zachary raised his eyebrows proudly, “Did you hear that? I couldn’t bear to bully my wife.”
A few people joked around for a bit, and then Roger whispered to Zachary again.
“There’s some new situation back home.”
The smile on Zachary’s face faded a bit, “Say it.”
“The one from the Goldstein family, seemed like their mental state wasn’t too good.”
Roger’s tone was a bit complicated.
“Ever since Gabrielle ‘had an accident‘, he just locked himself up, didn’t eat or drink, and wouldn’t see anyone.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein were really anxious and looked everywhere for a doctor.”
“Recently, there was even news that the Goldstein family was getting Timothy to marry that Cecilia.”
Zachary heard that, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
Timothy and Cecilia, these two names, to him, were as tiny as dust.
But he would never forget the hurt they once brought to Gabrielle. He turned his head and glanced at Gabrielle beside him.
