It wasn't long before she was fussed over by several women, transforming her look yet again.
Once everyone had left, she sat alone in the Makeup Room, looking at her reflection in the mirror. The events from moments ago made her feel embarrassed.
"Sofia Hamilton, what kind of a pig's brain do you have? You've embarrassed yourself all the way to grandma's house!"
She smacked her face in annoyance and pouted, "Rich people's weddings are such a hassle."
Meanwhile, Aaron Brown, who had reached the door, was about to enter.
But he saw her talking to herself...
The expressions on her face were playfully amusing.
Thinking about her appearance at the wedding just now, a smile crept onto his lips.
What a dazed and confused woman...
Sofia had no idea someone was standing at the door. Something seemed to hit her, and she suddenly stood up, "If I don't leave now, will I still be able to escape later?"
All those annoying formalities, she didn't want to deal with them.
No, she had already been to the wedding...
Staying any longer was definitely not an option.
If not now, then when?
Sofia shook her head, quickly grabbed her purse, and was ready to leave, but...
When she turned around, she saw Aaron Brown standing at the door.
His arms were crossed as he leaned casually against the wall, his gaze fixed on her.
Those piercing eyes seemed like they could see right through her.
Sofia nervously hid her purse behind her back.
"What? Planning to run away now?"
"The wedding... I've already attended, why can't I leave?"
"But the wedding isn't over yet, and there's a crowd of people outside waiting for you."
"..." Sofia felt a headache coming on upon hearing this, "You saw what happened earlier, I can't do it well, let me go."
She had never experienced anything like this before, nor had she seen such a grand event. The slightest carelessness could lead to embarrassment.
Seeing her distress and dejection, Aaron Brown stopped what he was originally going to say.
He softened his tone, walked over, and comforted her, "Actually, you don't have to do anything in particular. You just need to stay by Ryan Gregory's side, and if you aren't sure what to say, don't say anything. Just try to smile, and the bridesmaids will take care of it for you."
His words, like a warm spring, trickled into her heart drop by drop.
They unexpectedly had a calming effect...
She too started to feel that things weren't as serious as she had thought.
Just then, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.
Ryan Gregory pushed the door open and, upon seeing Aaron Brown, frowned and scowled, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm just talking to my sister. Is that not allowed?" Aaron said as he casually put an arm around Sofia's shoulders.
Such an intimate gesture, he did it so naturally.
It made Sofia's heartbeat skip a beat, and her face blush without restraint.
Ryan didn't seem to have the patience to talk to Aaron any further and walked straight up to her, grabbing her wrist, "Come with me."
Saying so, he began to pull her away.
**************************************
However, he wasn't pulling her towards the wedding scene.
Instead, he pulled her out of the hotel, shoved her into a car, and drove off quickly.
"Where... where are you taking me?"
She was confused...
Where was he taking her?
Wasn't the wedding reception still going on?
As Ryan drove, he lazily gave her two words, "Home."
"What?!" She exclaimed, as though she had heard some astoundingly shocking news.
Sofia couldn't digest these two words, "Go... home? What for?"
