Bride For Rent novel Chapter 16

Felicity was so happy that she opened the car door and got down, she picked her gown in her hands and started running towards the church. Katherine and Mercy's car just arrived and she saw Felicity running to the church, she jumped down from the car immediately "Felicity!" But she didn't hear her, she looked to see Grace just standing without doing anything "Grace stop her!"

Grace seemed to be called into presence and she shouted to Felicity "wait Felicity, stop running" due to being a little bit closer to her, Felicity heard her and stopped, she turned around and saw Katherine running towards her and she ran to her.

"Aunty Katy" she shouted as she ran to Katherine, her face sparkling with her joy, she looked so angelic running with her wedding gown. Her ankle twisted due to her heels and she wobbled, thankfully, Katherine was already close to her and so she caught her. Even though Felicity almost fell, it didn't change her mood "Aunty Katy look, little Ray made my wish come true" she gingerly pointed at the white carriage, her face beaming in happiness.

Katherine was still trying to catch her breath when she heard her "little Ray?"

Mercy caught up to them while Grace majestically walked up to them "what's wrong with you Felicity, why did you suddenly take of like that?" Grace asked with a frown.

"Yes, that's true" Katherine looked like she has been called back to her senses and looked at Felicity with a frown "why did you suddenly start running? If I hadn't caught you, do you know you would have fallen and scratch your body and on your wedding day!"

"I'm sorry Aunty Katy, I was just so happy about the carriage and I wanted to find Raymond and thank him. You taught me to always say thank you when someone give or do something for me" Felicity said in a docile tone.

"Even if you want to thank him about the carriage, you have plenty of time to do that. Why run now and almost hurt yourself? You just acted foolishly and stupid" Katherine was angry.

Felicity's eyes welled up in tears immediately and they threatened to fall at any minute "you called me stupid, you are mean just like the lady in the café shop" she looked so wronged and her face turned red.

Seeing what she has caused, Katherine heart ached "no my dear, I didn't say you are stupid. I only said your attitude..."

"It's alright my darling. I understand how you feel but now you need to look beautiful like Raymond's bride okay? Now smile for me."

Felicity smiled then and Katherine hugged her "I'm so sorry my darling."

After the little episode, they escorted Felicity to the door before leaving to enter through another door. The big door opened then and the man that opened it smiled at Felicity and shifted aside for her to walk in. The piano started then, playing the traditional tune 'here comes the bride' all head in the church turned to watch her and she got nervous. Her eyes darted around the room and spotted Raymond who was standing at the altar, he was smiling at her and she felt her heart move, remembering the carriage outside again, she recovered her enthusiasm and just like her Aunty Katy taught her, she followed the tune and walked slowly but gracefully to Raymond.

Raymond was stunned to silent when he saw the lady at the door, she looked so beautiful that he felt like shielding her from the eyes of everyone in the room, he wanted only him to look at her. Even he was surprised at his heart longing but unknowingly, he was already smiling to her. He watched her with his heart in his throat as she walked towards him, he knew she doesn't walk well in heels and he fears of her falling down now and not only embarrassing herself but him too.

He reached out his hand to hold her immediately she was closer and only then did his heart rest, they both walked up to the priest while everywhere went dead silent and the priest's voice rang out "dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining into a holy matrimony of Raymond Baldwin and Felicity McCarthy..."
