At first, they didn’t recognize me. It wasn’t until my turn that Jason looked at me. “Lydia, when did you get here? Whose clothes are you wearing?”
“The bride’s changed, and I’m still wearing the same dress. Isn’t that ironic?”
“Don’t get me wrong. You had an accident on the way and couldn’t make it, so I asked Selena to handle the formalities.”
“Not only would you have missed the auspicious time, but it wouldn’t look right with so many friends and family waiting.”
I nodded. “I understand.”
Miller’s mother and Jenna Linwood arrived. “Hey, sister-in-law, what are you wearing? Men’s clothes?”
“Lydia, isn’t that what Mom’s saying? Just because Jason didn’t let you ride first, you deliberately skipped the wedding to embarrass him.”
“You’re naive! If Selena hadn’t stepped in, the whole family would have been humiliated. Don’t do that again! Even if Jason dotes on you, I won’t tolerate you!”
“Didn’t you tell Auntie I was in a car accident? The car that hit me was driven by Selena’s best friend. She’s been detained by police for deliberately hitting us and will face criminal charges.”
