Chapter 509: Let Me Spoil You, Okay?
She held a bouquet in her hands, her arm interlocked with Xander's. Behind her, two adorable children, a boy and a girl, followed along, scattering flower petals.
The two little ones were dressed exquisitely, like a little prince and princess, with that innocent charm unique to children.
But what truly captured everyone's attention was Sophia, gracefully walking down the red carpet in her wedding dress.
A custom-made pure white wedding gown draped over her body, lending an air of purity and beauty to her presence.
The transparent veil added a touch of mystery to her delicate and charming face.
Before Sophia appeared, Benjamin had shown no expression on his face, though only he knew how nervous he was at that moment.
When Sophia's came into view, Benjamin's gaze locked onto her as if glued there, unable to look away.
After today, everyone would know that Sophia was his wife.
This wedding had been held especially for Sophia.
He had even invited many media outlets, certain that before long, news of their wedding would be dominate the headlines and entertainment sections.
Benjamin had never been a showy person, but when it came to marriage, he refused to compromise.
And he certainly didn't want Sophia to feel shortchanged.
He wanted the whole world to know that he could bring Sophia happiness.
Sophia was his, and she would be his wife for life.
While Benjamin gazed at Sophia, she was also looking at him.
Even through the veil, Sophia could clearly see Benjamin's tall, upright figure.
As she stepped closer to Benjamin, Sophia's heartbeat began to quicken uncontrollably.
Because of the drugs injected into her when she was a child, her ability to feel emotions had once been weaker than that of ordinary people.
So for a long time in her childhood, she had no real sense of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
Under Robert's gradual care and treatment, she finally slowly became a normal person.
She felt so fortunate to have met Benjamin in this lifetime.
If she hadn't met Benjamin as a child, she might have died in that cold laboratory.
Later, to cut ties with the Brown family, she voluntarily agreed to marry into the White family in exchange for benefits.
At that time, she had already decided that if her fiancé was ugly, she would just find some excuse and leave.
After all, she had already gotten the document severing her ties with the brown's, she was no longer part of the Brown family.
If the Brown family really wanted those benefits, they could have Isabella marry into the White family instead.
If her fiancé looked decent and had a good temper, she could try to get along with him peacefully.
But all those plans were shattered the moment Benjamin appeared.
She recognized Benjamin at first sight as the boy who had saved her as a child.
Back then, she was barely alive and couldn't speak, so she never asked Benjamin's name.
Fortunately, Benjamin hadn't changed much from childhood, his features had just become more refined, and his personality had grown colder.
Two years ago, when Benjamin had his accident, she really had thought about just dying with him.
But a voice in her heart kept telling her that Benjamin wouldn't die like that, he had promised to stay by her side forever.
Thank goodness she hadn't been impulsive.
Thank goodness she had waited for Benjamin to return.
The red carpet was clearly a short distance, but with each step, scenes of her time with Benjamin flashed through her mind.
Happy moments, sweet ones, bitter ones, painful ones...
Lost in these thoughts, she found herself standing before Benjamin.
Benjamin stepped forward and wrapped her small hand tightly in his large palm.
Xander glared at him fiercely. Was he really that impatient?
This part was supposed to be where he handed the bride's hand to the groom.
But Benjamin had pulled Sophia to his side on his own.
Sophia was wearing very high heels today, and when he suddenly pulled her like that, she wobbled.
Benjamin quickly caught her in his arms, his eyes full of amusement. "I told you not to wear such high heels."
Sophia shot him a playful glare. "You don't understand, the higher the heel, the better it looks."
She didn't usually like wearing high heels either, but for such a formal occasion, it was necessary.
Especially since a wedding might only happen once in a lifetime, of course, she wanted to dress more formally.
Xander, who had been ignored, cleared his throat, interrupting their conversation.
"If you want to whisper sweet nothings, do it later. We need to continue with the ceremony now."
Sophia's cheeks flushed as she quickly collected her thoughts.
Benjamin gazed at Sophia affectionately and said, word by word: "Sophia, fate brought us together a second time, a third time, which means our connection cannot be broken."
"I may not be a perfect person, but I believe no one in this world will love you more than I do."
"Will you give me a chance to become your wife and let me cherish you for the rest of your life?"
Benjamin didn't follow the traditional vows, but every word he spoke came from his heart.
Sophia met his deep eyes, and her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
Her gaze fell on the hand Benjamin extended toward her, and her eyes immediately welled up.
Without hesitation, she placed her hand in his and said loudly, "I do!"
The moment their fingers touched, Benjamin immediately grasped Sophia's hand, interlocking their fingers.
An attendant brought over the diamond rings, and Benjamin immediately placed one on Sophia's finger.
Sophia also took the men's ring and placed it on Benjamin's finger.
Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Benjamin grasped it again.
At that moment, Benjamin suddenly stepped forward, lifted her veil, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her amid everyone's cheers and gazes.
