Chapter 25
After returning from San Francisco, Colin fell into a state of despair, locking himself at home and drinking day and night.
When Nancy opened the door, she was overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol in the room, causing her to take a step back before finally pinching her nose and walking in.
Colin sat on the ground, leaning against the couch, and saw someone approaching. A glim- mer of hope lit up in his eyes.
When I saw the person coming was Nancy, I quickly looked down.
“Colin, don’t drink anymore.”
Nancy snatched the bottle of wine from Colin’s hand.
Colin picked up another bottle of wine and took a big sip.
“Why did you come?”
Nancy kicked Colin and impatiently said, “You’re afraid of getting drunk.”
Although she said that, Nancy still felt sorry for her brother and cooked a bowl of sobering soup for him.
Colin looked at the offered hangover soup but did not take it.
Nancy placed the bowl on the coffee table. “This is the recipe Yvonne asked for.”
Upon hearing Yvonne’s name, Colin’s eyes flickered and he picked up the mulled wine on the coffee table and took a sip.
The familiar taste brought tears to Colin’s eyes. Mixed with the saltiness of tears, he drank up this bowl of sobering soup.
“Can you help me plead with Yvonne? I was really wrong; I was really wrong.”

Nancy had told Yvonne that she would no longer interfere in her and Colin’s affairs, just about to refuse.
But when Nancy saw Colin’s pale face and exhausted look in front of her, surrounded by a gloomy aura, she ultimately couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
Nancy sighed, “I will help you find out Yvonne’s attitude.”
Nancy returned home and was about to call Yvonne when she received a call from Yvonne.
“Yvonne, did you call me for something?”
“Nancy, I am getting married and I would like to invite
you to be
a
my bridesmaid.”
When Yvonne was pursuing Colin back then, she told Nancy that when she married Colin, she wanted Nancy to be her bridesmaid.
Even though Colin is no longer the one Nancy married, she still remembers the promises they made back then.
When Nancy heard Yvonne say she was getting married, she was shocked and speechless for a while.
“Nancy, Nancy.”
It wasn’t until Yvonne’s voice calling her came through the phone that Nancy snapped out of
- it.
“Sure, Yvonne, I will definitely be your bridesmaid when you get married.”
Nancy swallowed the words she wanted to ask Colin.
Although Nancy tried her best to conceal it, Yvonne still heard the uneasiness in her tone at that time.
“Nancy, did you have something to say to me?”
Nancy hesitated for a moment before asking, “Nothing, when did you get married?”

Nancy thought Yvonne was getting married, so she must have found someone who truly loves her.
Yvonne had suffered too much injustice at her brother’s place before, but now she has found happiness, so as a good friend, I should bless her.
As for her brother, consider it a lesson in not being able to judge people correctly.
When Nancy came to Colin’s house again, Colin couldn’t wait to ask her, “What did Yvonne say?”
“She was getting married.”
Nancy felt Colin’s straight back in front of her suddenly bend down, as if all his energy had been drained, and he suddenly slumped.
“Colin, Yvonne has already moved on, you should too.”
Colin did not answer, he just remained silent.
The day before Nancy left for San Francisco, Colin found her and handed her a jewelry box.
“This is a comb I made myself, you can give it to her as a wedding gift.”
It was obvious who she was.
“I will pass it on to her.”
“It’s not a delivery, don’t tell her it’s from me,” Colin fell silent for a moment.
“She knew it was from me, so she wouldn’t accept it.”
Nancy didn’t say anything else and took the box.
Before the ceremony began, Nancy handed the jewelry box to Yvonne, saying, “Here is your wedding gift, wishing you a hundred years of happiness together.”
Yvonne took the gift box and opened it, only to find a handmade wooden comb inside. She was stunned for a moment, then handed the box back.
“Was it Colin who asked you to give it to me?”

Nancy didn’t expect that she would find out.

At that time, it was popular to make handmade gifts for loved ones. Yvonne learned to make a sachet like everyone else and gave it to Colin. Yvonne didn’t expect Colin to make her a comb, she just hoped he would buy one to give to her.
The gift that Yvonne had longed for in her dreams back then had somehow ended up in her hands now, and she found it quite amusing.
“I got married, the gift is not suitable, please help me return it to him.”
Nancy sighed and put away the comb.
With Nancy’s help, Yvonne put on her wedding dress and was led by Salvador towards the Marquis.
“Yvonne will be in your care from now on, please always treat her well.”
Marquis held Yvonne’s hand, tears welling up in his eyes. “I will.”
The wedding ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner.
“Please exchange rings, bride and groom.”
When Marquis was kissing Yvonne, he caught a glimpse of Colin in the far corner of the banquet hall.
The two locked eyes, and Marquis gestured towards Colin’s direction while holding Yvon-
ne’s hand.
Colin left the wedding hall with a bitter taste in his mouth.
People always have to pay the price for their mistakes, and he can never be the one to ac- company Yvonne for the rest of her life.
“Marquis, who did you just say hello to?”
“It’s okay, just someone unimportant.”
Yvonne collected her thoughts and looked at the man in front of her. The two of them held hands tightly, as they kissed in front of their family and friends, she embraced her true happi-
