As the sun spilled its warm light over the horizon, Adler''s wedding crew rolled up


    to Jenna''s front door. Dressed in a sharp white suit, Adler stepped into the Dennis family home, catching his breath with each step. Despite the slightly tousled hair, he still carried that typical charming and dashing aura.


    “Jenna! I''m here to whisk you away!" he announced, his face radiating pure joy, as he dropped to one knee, ready to hand Jenna a bouquet of fresh flowers.


    Sophie cleared her throat, interjecting, "Mr. Adler, aren''t you forgetting something?"


    "Forget? What did I forget?" Adler paused, momentarily thrown off. He had meticulously gone over the wedding ns with Colby and couldn''t think of a thing he''d missed.


    "You forgot the gifts," Sophie reminded him.


    Sandy, who had just flown in from overseas with a dyed flight, chimed in. She would have been there earlier to add to the fun as a bridesmaid if not for the dy. Elodie, another bridesmaid, walked in and added, "Even if no one''s blocking the door, Mr. Adler, it''s tradition. We bridesmaids expect our gifts."


    "Red envelopes..." Adler''s face turned a bit sheepish.


    Caught up with ns to switch the venue earlier that day, he hadpletely overlooked the promise of gifts to Sophie. In a moment of silent plea, Adler nced over at Colby for help.


    Colby, ever unppable, calmly fished out a few bank cards from his pocket, handing them to Sophie, Elodie, and Sandy. Seeing this, Adler was genuinely touched, almost to tears. What a true friend!


    But soon, suspicion crept in. With a low, secretive voice, Adler asked, "Where did you get the extra cash?"


    "Who said it was my extra cash?"


    "Oh, getting paid by Sophie now?"


    "I swiped it from your wallet before we left."


    "What!"


    Adler''s eyes widened in surprise. "You!"


    "Is there a problem?"


    "You''re a real pal, taking it so precisely..."


    Since dering his unwavering devotion to Jenna, Adler had handed


    all his finances over to her for safekeeping. The three bank cards in


    nover


    his wallet were now neatly distributed among Jenna''s bridesmaids. What a predicament.


    Adler felt a wave of helplessness wash over him. Sniffling, he turned to Jenna, "Jenna, you''ve got to believe me, my love for you is as real as it gets."


    "Don''t be silly, of course I believe you," Jenna replied, her face glowing with a smile.


    With Jenna safely in the wedding car and off to the ceremony, Sophie and Colby settled into another ride.


    "Why do these wedding cars look so familiar?" Sophie wondered aloud. "Aren''t these the same drivers Lennon hired for our wedding?"


    "The old wedding car wasn''t an option," Colby exined.


    "Why''s that?" Sophie asked, puzzled. Why would a perfectly good wedding car suddenly be out ofmission?


    "Well..." Colby hesitated, almost mentioning something about flight arrivals but opted for, "the wedding carpany had ast-minute hup."


    "And the wedding venue? Is it far?"


    "Not far," Colby assured her. "You know the ce."


    "I do?" Sophie was intrigued.


    Soon, the car pulled up in front of a familiar hotel. Recognizing the sign, Sophie was taken aback.


    Indeed, she knew it well. Massaging her temples, she sighed, "So... why the Four Seasons Hotel for the wedding?"


    "For... various reasons," Colby replied, dodging a more detailed exnation.
