Meanwhile, the ceremony went on as scheduled. Maxen was now using Wyatt's back to sign his wedding certificate while Olivia chatted with the cardinal. However, in contrast to the joy and warmth filling the air, one could smell a different mood on the left side of the aisle.
Aerith, who was sitting behind Emily, tapped the latter's shoulder. The little one gestured with her hand as she asked, "Are you okay?"
"Of course, little one," Emily responded, wiping the tears on the corners of her eyes. She then patted Aerith's head. She didn't need to explain to a little girl why she was crying but the frown on Aerith's face told her the latter was just worried about her so she said, "These are tears of joy. See," Emily beamed. "I'm happy."
