Trapped In Her Heart - Chapter 290

Wedding Venue.

“Seb, honey are you okay?” Judith inquired.

“Y-Yes, I am,” Sebastian answered in a very unsure voice.

Scrunching his brows, Harry stated, “Naoh is the one getting married, why are you sweating so much? Are you not feeling well? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”

Vigorously shaking his head, Sebastian took out a handkerchief from his pocket and quickly wiped his forehead. “I am fine, I don’t know why I am feeling so hot.” Pointing towards the dazzling black suit he was wearing, he added, “I think something is wrong with this suit.”

“I think something is wrong with your head, son,” Arthur remarked before walking towards him. “Are you nervous for your brother?”

“I think he is.” Helplessly shaking his head, Harry sighed, “Just look at his face, he looks like he just encountered a ghost or something awful.”

“Guys, I really appreciate that you all are having fun but for now, can we please focus on my wedding? I am getting married but no one seems to give a f.u.c.k about it,” Noah complained.

“How can you say that? Of course everyone cares about your wedding son, in fact that is why we are here.” Glancing at his watch, Arthur added, “We should rush and start the ceremony before your father starts shouting his lungs out.”

…..

Stretching his hand towards Ellie, Sebastian smiled. “You ready?”

She nodded her head before placing her hand over his. “Yes. I didn’t know I was walking in with you.”

“Of course babe, you are the bridesmaid and I am the best man.” Raising his eyebrows at her, he inquired, “Why? Are you nervous?” Before she could say anything, he inched closer. “Don’t worry, it’s not our wedding, you can relax. Let’s save that nervousness for our wedding, okay?”

“Guys, I know you guys are madly in love with each other. Can we please finish this quickly so that you both can take this love to the hotel room?” Calvin, who was standing right behind them, couldn’t help but interrupt them.

…..

An hour later.

After the smooth and lovely wedding which took place without any kind of interruption, Calvin, Owen and Brandon were busy teasing Noah who had started crying so hard after seeing Melissa in the wedding gown that he couldn’t even say his vows properly.

“Will you guys just stop being such an ass?” Looking at Noah who was busy staring at his wife, Charlotte added, “Don’t listen to them, you looked super cute.”

“I know,” Noah boldly agreed.

While everyone was laughing around and having fun, Sebastian was silently standing with his hand pressed against his pocket.

Finding his behavior quite strange and unusual, Ellie quickly approached him. Placing her hand on his shoulder, she inquired, “Is everything okay? You don’t look good.”

Awkwardly clearing his throat, he gave her a weak smile and nodded his head. “Yeah, I am okay.”

“Did you lose something or did something happen?”

“No, everything is good. Why do you ask?”

“Hmm, just like that. I just feel something is bugging you,” she answered before pointing towards his hand which was pressed against his pocket all the while. “Is there something important inside?”

“No,” he quickly answered before wrapping his hand around her waist. “You want to eat anything?”

“Not really.”

“I—” Before Sebastian could say anything, Arthur called him over.

Kissing the back of her hand, he said, “I’ll be right back, stay with them.”

After he left, Ellie couldn’t stop thinking what Sebastian wss upto. Though he had assured her there was nothing, she knew that wasn’t the complete truth.

“What? You both aren’t going for a honeymoon?” Ava’s sudden sharp and shocked voice interrupted Ellie’s thoughts.

“No we are not going anywhere. In fact, we will fly to L.A with you people,” Melissa answered.

“But why? I thought you people are going to take a long break,” Ellie frowned.

Noah nodded his head and explained, “Well, that was the initial plan but we decided to postpone it as we came back from our mini pre-honeymoon not too long ago.”

“Exactly, we have all our lives to go around now. We just want to stay at home and enjoy each other’s company,” Melissa added.

“That sounds much more relaxing.”

“Okay, let’s forget about our honeymoon for now and let’s talk about—” Lifting her flower bouquet up, Melissa exclaimed, “Who is going to catch this when I toss it over my shoulder.”

“Ahh I almost forgot about this,” Ava chuckled.

“Wait, so whoever catches this has to marry next?” Owen inquired.

“Well, that is what the tradition is all about.”

Stroking his chin, Brandon looked at Charlotte. Walking closer, he whispered, “Do you want to catch it?”

Startled by the sudden unexpected question, Charlotte widened her eyes in shock. “Wait, what?”

“I mean, you can catch it if you want to. I—I will be happy if you do,” he stated before awkwardly clearing his throat.

Squeezing his cheeks, she chuckled, “You should seriously look at your face right now, you look like a shy kid.”

“I am just being a good boyfriend,” he exclaimed.

Patting his cheeks, she smiled, “I am impressed with your sincerity but don’t worry, I won’t catch the bouquet.”

Scrunching his brows, he curiously inquired, “And how are you so sure about it?”

“You will see.”

…..

A few  hours later.

Everyone gathered at the entrance after the ceremony for the bouquet toss tradition.

Looking around, Ellie frowned when she could not find Sebastian.

“Whom are you looking for?” Ava inquired.

“I am looking for Seb, did you see him anywhere?”

Shrugging her shoulders, she answered, “No, he might be around. Don’t worry about him.” Hooking her arms around hers, she added, “Let’s focus on the bouquet tossing ceremony.”

“Girls, are you ready?” Melissa excitedly exclaimed before waving the flower bouquet towards them.

“Yes,” All the single ladies who were standing in a distance, shouted unanimously.

“Alright, get ready—” With her back towards the crowd, Melissa exclaimed, “Let’s see who gets married next.”

Swinging her arm twice, Melissa did not toss the bouquet. Instead, she turned around, took a couple of steps towards the crowd and handed the flower bouquet directly to Ellie.
