Chapter 0042 +25 BONUS Chapter 0042 The wedding ceremony went just as planned .
I felt cold as David slipped the ring onto my finger and made his vows , but I smiled with tears in my eyes .
Davids possesive words during the ceremony unsettled me , but I couldnt dwell on it .
He hadnt been so forward in the original timeline .
He must have been more unsettled by the public drama between us than I realized.
He obviously wanted my adoring gaze only on him so that no one would think there was still tension between us .
I obliged .
It was better for me if it seemed I was still deeply in love with him .
Afterwards , David and I went around to every table to greet our guests and thank them for attending .
Everyone told us how beautiful the ceremony was .
Many people complimented the table décor , and even more complimented my dress , which I proudly told them had belonged to my grandmother , who had passed away shortly after I was born .
David responded to the compliments by bragging , of course The ring is really something , dont you think ? he said as he grabbed my wrist and held my hand out to show off the diamond .
Its nice , the luna of Briar Rose agreed .
Did you choose it yourself , David ? Its a family heirloom , he said proudly .
It belonged to my grandmother .
Thats such a sweet gesture , the luna said kindly .
I stared down at the small diamond .
It was a simple gold band with a small solitaire diamond .
It couldnt be more than a half carat .
It was nice , b hardly worth bragging about the way that David was After we had gone to every table , it was announced that dinner was ready , and we returned to the head table to eat , There were speeches and toasts , but I found it difficult to focus on them .
There was so much going on around us , and everyone seemed to be having such a good time .
It was a relief , but it also upset me because I knew that none of it was real .
I wasnt a happily married woman celebrating with my friends and family ; this was all just a show , and in a few more hours , it would be exposed .
As much as I knew that this plan had to move forward and I had to show everyone the truth about David , it still hurt to know that all of this happiness was ultimately for nothing .
My mother must have noticed that I seemed off .
She switched seats with my father so that she could sit next to me , then leaned in and softly asked , Why arent you eating ? 1 looked down at my barely touched plate .
I am , I said , and the food is delicious .
I just … Its important that you eat and keep your strength up , she reminded me .
We still have a long night ahead of us .
I nodded .
She had no idea how right she was .
Can I ask you a question ? I said , looking up at her .
Anything you want , she replied .

Why didnt you offer me Grandmas dress in the first place ? Chapter 0042 +25 BONUS She sighed and leaned back slightly in her chair .
I didnt want you to feel obligated to wear it , she explained .
Your style was always so bright and eye catching , and this is such a classic look .
I didnt think that it would suit you , and I didnt want you to be forced to wear something you wouldnt like .
But I love this dress , I said .
It is unique because its so old fashioned .
The lace is beautiful , and it fits me so well She smiled .
I agree , she said .
And if it werent for the fact that your fashion sense seems to have changed so much recently , I never would have thought to offer it to you .
Her explanation made sense , but it made me feel a little sad .
The old me from the original timeline had insisted on a dress that was bold and edgy .
It had gotten me attention in all the wrong ways .
To think that I had missed out on wearing this dress all because my mother had wanted to make sure that I got exactly what I wanted and didnt want me to feel obligated , it was bittersweet .
