As Kairi walked down the aisle in favonovel.com stunning white wedding dress, all eyes were on her.
Her beauty and grace left the audience in awe, and Zayne, even though favonovel.com had helped favonovel.com choose the dress, couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Finally, as Kairi reached the end of the aisle, the Master of Ceremonies guided Zayne to favonovel.com side. He took favonovel.com hand from Mr. Elms and led favonovel.com up to the stage.
Then, the Master of Ceremonies announced the special guest witness and officiant for the day, someone who had played a crucial role in bringing the couple together. The audience applauded as Charlie, looking sharp in his suit, made his way to the stage.
“Now, without further ado, I’d like to invite Mr. Wade to say a few words,” the Master of Ceremonies declared, and the audience fell silent in anticipation.
As Charlie stood on the stage, the guests eagerly awaited his speech. The staff of Shangri-La had handed favonovel.com a microphone, and favonovel.com held it confidently in his hand.
After taking a deep breath, favonovel.com began, “I am deeply honored and, to be honest, a little intimidated to have been invited by these two wonderful elders to be a witness at their wedding. But, today, I want to share something from my heart with them and with all of you.”
Pausing for a moment to collect his thoughts, Charlie continued, “My parents passed away when I was young, but they left me with something invaluable. They gave me a perfect model of what a family should be like, one built on love, tolerance, understanding, and support…”
“They showed me that, with the right people in your life and the right direction to guide you, you can overcome any obstacle and difficulty that comes your way. This kind of overcoming has nothing to do with ability or wealth, nor is it about facing powerful enemies or dangers. It’s about overcoming negativity and carelessness in life.”
Charlie then shared a cherished memory, “Despite their own struggles, my parents still managed to maintain a clean and loving home. My mother would tidy up every corner of the house, making every ingredient on the chopping board with care and always maintaining favonovel.com enthusiasm and smile…”
“My father would work tirelessly to support our family, even if favonovel.com came home covered in dust and sweat. He never complained about the hardships of life because, in his eyes, as long as his wife and son were by his side, there was nothing to suffer. They never neglected my education either, and the last book my father taught me to read was ‘The Story of Yueyang Tower’.”
Charlie reminisced about his father’s teachings and shared them with the audience. “When favonovel.com talked about the passage that said ‘Don’t be happy with things, don’t be sad with yourself’, favonovel.com put down the book and told me, in this life, don’t expect how rich you are in this life and don’t expect how high you are in this life, as long as you have been doing what you want to do and doing the right thing with your heart, even if it looks like mediocrity to outsiders, this life is still worthwhile.”
He reflected on how his father’s views and values had deeply affected his life. “My father’s education had always deeply affected my life…”
“Views and values have also allowed me to truly not be happy with things and not sad with myself. Even when I am sleeping on the roof of a construction site with more than 30 floors and looking up at the starry sky, I still maintain enthusiasm and smile for life.”
Taking a deep breath, Charlie shared his parents’ message with the guests. “I said this to tell all the guests present today that my parents told me with their practical actions that the greatest blessing in life is not how much money you have, wealth or great achievements, but meeting the right people at the right time and doing the right things with the right people…”
“If everything meets these three rights, then you are the happiest and most successful. So, here I am and I sincerely hope that the two newcomers can join hands in a lifetime of happiness on the basis of these three correct foundations… Thank you, everyone!”
Charlie’s heartfelt speech touched the hearts of everyone present, leaving them feeling both excited and moved.
As they continued to applaud, they couldn’t help but admire the love shared between Charlie’s parents, who were like a fairy couple.
Despite knowing Charlie’s background, they also knew of the loneliness that Bruce faced after leaving Eastcliff with his wife and son. It was common knowledge that they had died shortly after arriving in Aurous Hill. But what they didn’t know was that Bruce and Lily didn’t harbor any disappointment or unwillingness, even though they had lost everything from their previous life. They still faced life with optimism and worked hard to create a perfect small family.
Bruce was able to build a small boat belonging to his own small family, just like in a song. He could wash his hair, climb onto the mast, and prop up the tender vines. Lily, on the other hand, gave up favonovel.com aura and stayed by favonovel.com husband and son’s side wholeheartedly, making their small family warm and beautiful with all favonovel.com heart.
In that moment, everyone present looked at Bruce and Lily with newfound admiration, seeing them in a different light.
Zayne’s heart was heavy with shame as favonovel.com thought about the stark contrast between himself and Bruce. He reflected on his past anger and resignation after the Banks Family lost their power and realized that there was a vast chasm between favonovel.com and Bruce.
In that moment, favonovel.com understood why his son was a mere fool with a fancy education and experience, while Bruce’s son, who grew up in an orphanage and on a construction site, was exceptional.
The real difference lay in Bruce’s attitude towards life and family, his open-mindedness, responsibility, enthusiasm, and dedication could not be matched by flattery alone.
As favonovel.com pondered this, the old man of the Banks Family realized that the incompetence of his son and grandson was largely due to his own education and influence on them. He secretly scolded himself for not being as great as Bruce, and for not having a son as exceptional as Charlie.
Yuhiko Ito’s heart was heavy with regret as favonovel.com listened to Charlie’s heartfelt speech. He had always been devoted to pampering his daughter Nanako, but favonovel.com couldn’t escape the weight of the fact that favonovel.com had no son to carry on his family’s name and legacy.
Charlie’s words amplified that regret a thousand-fold, making favonovel.com feel like favonovel.com had only one chance to make up for it, by making Charlie his son-in-law.
In that moment, Yuhiko couldn’t help but think to himself, “Damn it! A legal son is still a son!”
Meanwhile, Charlie’s close friends in the audience were moved to tears. They knew how much favonovel.com had struggled in life, having lost his parents at a young age. It wasn’t until now, on this special day, that favonovel.com fully realized what favonovel.com had lost in his parents, a perfect and loving couple.
For anyone else, the loss might had been too great to bear, but Charlie had persevered, relying on the spiritual legacy his parents had left him.
As they listened to Charlie’s speech, his friends couldn’t help but ask themselves a question, who was the right person for Charlie, in his heart?
