She felt complete and happy; a few weeks ago she thought her love was unrequited and that Leonard didn't want to have children with her. However, now that she knew he loved her too and that they were going to be parents, she felt like it was a dream she didn't want to wake up from.
The weeks she spent at her in-laws house were wonderful for her, even though Leonard made her angry sometimes. After the attack on Vanessa, she stopped going on the Vanessa, she stopped going to the mansion as often, and with everyone busy preparing for the wedding ceremony, they would ignore her saying they were too busy.
Olivia was the only one who was free, but since Vanessa didn't like her, she made sure vandal was with her at all times. Because Vanessa was afraid of him, she didn't go near Olivia.
Olivia had started feeling nauseous and would sometimes throw up. She hated this part of pregnancy. Olivia knew that the first few months of pregnancy were difficult, but she never imagined they would be this bad.
Every time Leonard saw her pale and nauseous, he would call the doctor. Leonard's mother told him that it was normal for a pregnancy, but every time he saw Olivia looking unwell, he would get nervous and not know what to do, so he would always end up calling the doctor.
The day before the wedding ceremony, Olivia slept in Leonard's mother's room because she said it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.
To Leonard, this seemed absurd since he and Olivia were already married, but he couldn't convince his mother otherwise, so he ended up sleeping alone and waiting until the next day to see her.
To Leonard, this seemed absurd since he and Olivia were already married, but he couldn't convince his mother otherwise, so he ended up sleeping alone and waiting until the next day to see her.
In the morning, Leonard put on his suit and combed his hair to the side. Then he went to the chapel to make sure everything was in order for when Olivia arrived. Leonard wanted to make up for not showing up on their wedding day, knowing he couldn't undo what had already happened, but thought that rewriting it would be a good idea and would make Olivia very happy.
When Leonard arrived at the chapel, he was really satisfied with the decorations, and he hoped Olivia would like them too.
When Olivia finished getting ready, Leonard's mother said to her, "You look truly beautiful; I'm sure Leonard will fall in love with you all over again when he sees you."
"Do I really look good?" Olivia asked.
Leonard's mother took her hands and said, "You look absolutely stunning love."
"Thank you," Olivia replied.
"Now we better hurry or we'll be late, and I suppose you wouldn't want to be late on your wedding day," Leonard's mother said.
Olivia started feeling very nervous and said, "Let's go, I don't want to keep him waiting."
As they left the house, a beautiful white carriage decorated with white lilies was waiting for them outside. Olivia got in with her mother-in-law, who looked extremely happy.
Olivia was thrilled to have the wedding she always dreamed of. Her first wedding ceremony had been horrible, as she didn't even know the face of the man she was marrying. But this time was different; she was marrying the man she loved, surrounded by people who cared about her.
Upon arriving at the chapel, Olivia felt incredibly happy and content. The chapel was decorated with beautiful flowers all around, and everything looked beautiful . Despite it being autumn, seeing all those flowers gave Olivia a sense of spring.
Olivia entered the church with Leonard's father by her side since her own father wasn't there. He had offered to accompany her, and she didn't hesitate to accept.
The church was filled with people, and when she entered, everyone turned to look at her. The inside of the church was decorated with candles and lilies. Everything seemed wonderful to Olivia, but there was one thing that made her forget about everything and everyone present: Leonard standing at the altar, waiting for her.
When she saw him, she felt her heart pounding and desired to run into his arms. That day, Leonard looked incredibly handsome with his neatly combed black hair and elegant black suit.
When Leonard saw Olivia walk in, he was amazed. Olivia looked incredibly beautiful that day, wearing a tight white dress that hugged her body and flowed at the bottom. Her brown hair was loose and adorned with a flower crown, making her look like a flower fairy.
As Olivia approached him, she could see Leonard smiling as he stood next to a priest who would give them their blessing.
When Olivia reached Leonard, she felt her heart beating so strongly as if it were about to jump out of her chest. Leonard took her hand and helped her up the step, saying, "You look beautiful."
Olivia blushed and replied, "You also look very handsome."
Both of them said their marriage vows. Olivia felt joyous to be standing at the altar next to the man she loved. When the priest finished speaking, he told Leonard he could now kiss the bride.
Leonard put his arm around Olivia wait, pulled her close, and kissed her. Everyone applauded, and as they exited the church, guests showered them with flower petals and rice. They both entered the carriage Olivia had arrived in and began to distance themselves from the crowd. Olivia leaned on Leonard's shoulder and said, "The ceremony was beautiful. Thank you so much."
Leonard stroked his hair and said, "I'm sorry for making our wedding ceremony so horrible for you."
"That doesn't matter anymore, we'll take this one as our wedding," Olivia replied.
"I hope you remember this day with happiness," Leonard said.
"I will, I promise. So far, everything has been wonderful. I've loved everything," Olivia replied, smiling.
Olivia lifted her head and kissed Leonard on the cheek. He laughed and said, "I'm your husband, you should kiss me on the lips."
Olivia blushed a little and pressed her soft, full lips against his. "I love you," she whispered.
Leonard sat her on his lap and began showering her with kisses, unable to do anything else since she was pregnant. Olivia's body started to warm up, and she said, "Please stop, we're about to arrive."
"Alright, I'll stop for now," Leonard replied.
When they arrived at the mansion, Olivia still had rosy cheeks. Leonard's mother approached her and asked, "Are you okay, dear? You don't have a fever, do you?"
"No, I'm fine, don't worry," Olivia reassured her.
"Are you sure? Your cheeks are red," Leonard's mother insisted.
"I'm perfectly fine," Olivia replied.
"Well, if you're not feeling well, don't force yourself to be here. You can go rest whenever you want," Leonard's mother suggested.
"Don't worry, mother. If Olivia doesn't feel well, I'll take her to rest," Leonard said.
"Yes, if you notice, you are just as insensitive as your father when it comes to these things," Sarine said, turning away and leaving them alone.
They went to the beautifully decorated living room, filled with thousands of flowers and candles, creating a romantic ambiance. Olivia loved it an wondered where Leonard had found so many flowers in autumn instead of spring. Nonetheless, she was happy that he remembered what she had wanted for that day and found a way to please her.
Olivia and Leonard sat for a while until the rest of the guests arrived. Olivia didn't know any of them, but Leonard's mother had told her they were part of the Forest family. Most of them were distant relatives, and they were invited to showcase that her son had finally gotten married.
Olivia and Leonard opened the dance floor. He tried to go slow so Olivia wouldn't get tired, but she repeatedly stepped on his feet and apologized every time. Leonard had gotten used to Oliva's clumsiness, and in the end, he liked it.
After they finished dancing, Olivia's father asked for a dance with her. Leonard felt a bit sorry for his father as he didn't know what he was getting into.
When her father and Olivia finished dancing, he had to sit down because his feet were killing him from all the times Olivia had stepped on them.
She apologized endlessly, and when she stepped away for a moment, Leonard's father said to him, "Why didn't you tell me she dances terribly?"
"Because you didn't ask," Leonard replied.
"But you seemed fine while you were dancing," his father remarked.
"Yeah, I've become accustomed to being stepped on while we danced," Leonard said.
"You know, there are some things you shouldn't get used to," his father replied.
Olivia returned with a plate full of snacks and sat next to Leonard, devouring everything hungrily.
Her cheeks were puffed up like a chipmunk's, and Leonard said, "Eat slowly or you'll choke."
"But it's so delicious," Olivia replied.
"I noticed, but if you keep eating like that, I'll take away your plate," Leonard warned.
"Alright, I'll eat more slowly," Olivia conceded.
While they were sitting, everyone else gathered on the dance floor. The music was lovely and enjoyable, and everyone seemed happy as they danced with their partners.
Olivia didn't enjoy dancing much because she did it poorly, but the music that night was so cheerful and lively that she wanted to dance until her feet couldn't take it anymore. However, being pregnant, she couldn't do that, so she settled for watching.
While Leonard was talking to one of his relatives, Olivia began to scan the faces of all the guests. They all looked beautiful and well dressed, except for a young girl who appeared to be around fourteen years old. She was sitting in a corner pf the room, trying to go unnoticed and hoping no one would realize she was there.
The dress the girl was wearing was simple and a little too big for her, as if it didn't belong to her. Olivia felt curious about who this young girl was. She seemed pretty, but her light brownish blonde hair was plain and she wasn't wearing any makeup. She also didn't have any jewelry on, and Olivia couldn't help but think that she looked a little worn out.
Since Olivia didn't have anything else to do and everyone she knew was busy, she decided to go and talk to the young girl. As she approached her, the girl was very surprised and clumsily curtsied before saying.
"Good evening, Duchess. Congratulations on your wedding. I wish you much happiness."
"Hello, my name is Olivia. You don't have to be so formal with me. What's your name?" Olivia replied.
The young girl seemed very nervous as she didn't understand why out of all the guests that night, the Duchess had approached her directly. She replied.
"My name is Daphne."
"Nice to meet you, Daphne. You don't have to be so nervous. I approached you because you looked very lonely. I don't really know any of the guests, so you could say I was bored. Would you like some company?"
"Of course, I would like that," Daphne answered.
"That's great. Would you like to get some food? Everything tastes delicious today."
"Yes."
