Drenched in Love novel Chapter 71

In the bumping, Sophia woke up. She opened her eyes and found Stephen holding her. She was alert and struggled to get up.

Stephen took a loo at her, loosened his hand and sat back on his seat.

In the small space, the atmosphere was awkward. Sophia rubbed her wrist that Stephen caught, lowering her head.

Stephen looked out of the window. Then he felt sleepy, closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep. He had a dream.

By the flower arch, he stood at the edge of the cliff, with his back to the sea in a white suit, smiling at the beautiful, slim woman standing in the flower aisle.

The sun was blinding him, and he could not see the beautiful face. But he knew that it was his bride, the woman he decided to hold hands with all his life.

Smiling, he held out his hand to the woman in a white wedding dress holding flowers.

The woman, with veil covered, walked towards him step by step until she reached him.

The priest asked: Mr. Stephen Berry, do you take this lady as your wife? For better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, you will love her unreservedly and be true to her till the end of time.”

He tilted his head, trying to keep his eyes wide open to see the woman's face. But the thin veil seemed to block all his sight. He could never see her face clearly.

When the priest asked about it, Stephen thought: This was his bride. It was the woman he had loved for three years, and of course he was willing to marry her, even now he couldn't see her face.

"I do." He said.

The priest asked the bride, and she said yes. The voice of the bride made him feel familiar, but, it was different from what he'd heard the last three years?

The vows were read, rings were exchanged, and the priest said, "Mr. Berry, now you can lift your veil and kiss the bride.”

He smiled at the woman in the white wedding dress, held her veil and slowly raised it. He said to himself: Jessie, you are my woman at last.

As the veil lifted, looking at the face with delicate makeup, Stephen became stunned: "Why it is you?!"

Frowning, Sophia looked at Stephen with a painful face in his sleep: what was going on? As She hesitated whether to tell Daniel, Stephen suddenly opened his eyes.

This beautiful face was in his sleep, and it annoyed Stephen.

"Mr. Berry, what's the matter with you? Are you not feeling well?" Sophia whispered.

Stephen's brows wrinkled more and more tightly. He pushed Sophia to the seat: "Stay away from me!" Stephen turned to look out of the window and gradually his mood calmed down.

He was still puzzled. How did that happen? How did that happen? Bali, Banyan Tree Hotels should be the place he had wedding with Jessie, how did it suddenly become Sophia?

Sophia had no idea why Stephen acted like this, but she was no in mood to find it out. Stephen asked her to stay away from him, and she wanted to do so, but now she was on a plane, and she had nowhere to go but in her seat.
