Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1488

What did he say?

Was that what a normal person would say?

How was she a show-off? What's more, it wasn't wrong for a woman to want to be pretty. They could not go with fewer skincare products. Yet, Olivia did feel a twinge of guilt as she swept her gaze over all the toiletries in the bathroom.

It was packed full of her own items, such as lotions, cleansers, moisturizers, oils, and sunscreen. Not only that, there were also face masks for brightening, hydrating, anti-aging. Sam only had a single cleanser that was pitifully pushed aside to a corner.

Oh, perhaps he didn't know what he should use?

Forget about it. She didn't want to argue with him anymore. She put on a night mask and went to bed.

The wedding was held in Sam's hometown. He booked the best hotel in the vicinity and invited a lot of people whom he was close with.

The wedding bustled with activity. Their parents were all still alive and kicking, and the Jenkins family alone had many extended families, what more to say the Sorrento family. To say that there were many people attending the wedding was an understatement. Entire families showed up, and the single guests brought friends along to participate.

When Mavis saw the tall and handsome Sam in the wedding pictures, and the grandiose ceremony, jealousy overcame her. However, she huffed in a frigid and sarcastic way, "Our Ollie from the Jenkins family is quite pretty too. She should at least get a man who looks good. Why did she choose a guy with scars on his face? What do you guys think Ollie likes about him? Perhaps his money?"

Those words made Eason, her cousin, frown inadvertently. Angrily, he seethed, "Mavis, you've had it out for Ollie since you were a schoolgirl. Today is a day of celebration. Can you control your mean mouth?"

Her expression contorted when she was berated. She began explaining, "Eason, how am I mean? I didn't say anything bad about Ollie. Didn't you hear me praising her good looks? It's just that the scar on her future husband's face is slightly scary."

He interjected, "Enough. What is your last sentence if not mocking? What's more, if you really find Sam so disagreeable, why don't you stop ogling him? You've been staring at his photo ever since you came. Those who aren't in the know would think that you're trying to snatch him away." "Eason, what are you saying? How would I..." She had not anticipated that he would be that unreserved. Her face twisted in an ugly expression. "Eason." Fiona reached out and tugged on her son's arm. "Watch your mouth. No matter what, Mavis is still your younger cousin."

He snorted, evidently not wanting to acknowledge that fact. "With how mean and acrimonious she is, who knows what she'll say about me behind my back."

All three branches of the Jenkins family were there that day. While Mavis was talking, her parents were there at the table too. Her mother, J, could hear her every word. The look on her face wasn't pleasant, but everyone knew that the main branch of the Jenkins family, which Eason was from, earned the most money. The second branch, Mavis' family, was known for being egotistical.

Although J was furious, she did not dare to admonish Eason directly. She could only sputter awkwardly, "Eason, Mavis means no harm. She's just voicing out her actual thoughts. We're all family, so we just want the best for Ollie."

Mavis was already seething because of what Eason had said to her. Her brother, Fabian, curled his lips in displeasure. "Eason, Mavis really didn't mean it in an offensive way. Please don't misunderstand her."

Eason swept his gaze over them and languidly downed a glass of wine. Nonchalantly, he said, "I'm not sure whether she means it that way or not. However, there is one thing I'm sure of. Not giving your blessing to the couple is one thing. It's another thing to mock someone's husband and feign innocence after insulting them."

After he made that clear, he gave them the sideeye and tilted his head, "Since you don't know how to use your words, you should learn to shut up. Wouldn't that be easier to learn?"

As soon as he said that, Mavis' family's expression evidently grew chagrined.

Mavis smoldered right away. "Mom..."

J could only look in the direction of Eason's family.

"Fiona, Mavis really wasn't meaning to offend anyway. She has always been the blunt type. She didn't mean any harm."

Fiona smiled feebly. "Alright, Eason,

be more tactful. Don't ruin the

relationship between our families. However you're right. Today is a day of celebration. Since we're here to attend a wedding, let's keep our words to pleasant ones. No one would want to listen to insults on a day like this. Mavis, you're still young. Take your elders' advice."

Fiona wanted to keep the peace, but she kept that last sentence to pressure Mavis. She was well aware of how arrogant Mavis' family was.

With that altercation, everything became clear to her.

Mavis was quite beautiful, but she bordered on being too individualistic and sharp. Since she was a kid, she would compare herself to Olivia. Not only that, she would always badmouth Olivia in front of their grandma.

Although Fiona wasn't biased towards Olivia, at the same time, she disliked Mavis.

That girl was too insidious. Fiona had disliked Olivia in the past because she wouldn't retaliate even though others were gossiping about her behind her back.

However, Olivia had surprised her at the last birthday celebration.

Since Fiona had had the final say, Mavis' family did not dare to speak again.

Olivia, who was at home, had already changed into her wedding dress and had her makeup done. Her bridesmaids were Tiana and Freya, who had specially rushed to the city to attend her wedding. The two of them were dressed in pastel pink dresses.

Before the wedding car reached the house, the two bridesmaids wanted to hide Olivia's shoes to let Sam and his groomsmen search for them. Tiana a and Freya were both bubbly and energetic people, and they were responsible for making the

atmosphere merry.

However, at that moment, Olivia was so tired that all she wanted to do was flop on the bed in a starfish position.

Tiana and Freya hurried over to prop her up.

"Dear bride, the makeup wasn't an easy feat. Don't lie down. You'll mess up your makeup and hair if you do. The wedding car will be here soon." Exhausted, Olivia shut her eyes. "Weddings are so tiring."

Moreover, she was wearing a heavy floral dress. It was purely custom-made, through an extremely complicated process. Her waist was perfectly outlined in it. The combination of pastel colors on the dress really highlighted her charm and daintiness.

It reflected a maiden of Hidalgo perfectly.

When Olivia first put it on, her first thought was that it was heavy and exhausting to wear.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Nheless, when she looked at

herself in the mirror, she couldn't

believe that it was her. The norm was to dress trendily. Olivia, herself, usually wore oversized T-shirts and shorts. It was comfortable. Occasionally, she would don a long skirt when the occasion called for it.

All her life, she had never worn such a luxurious dress.

With the dress, she was much more beautiful than she had imagined!
