Chapter 4 - 4

It was one of the biggest weddings of the century and it will be remembered for years to come.

The aristocratic families were always a class above the rest. They got the best of everything.

Even in today's wedding the food, flowers, and decorations were like no one has ever seen.

The venue had very grand decorations, chandeliers, fairy lights, and blue hydrangeas everywhere. Everybody present was looking forward to seeing the bride and groom.

The bride wore a custom made dress with diamonds and the groom wore a suit from a famous Italian brand.

The ring was a unique solitaire. The couple got up in front of everybody, took their vows, and finished the ceremony.

Today was Anderson's beloved daughter Nina's wedding so how could anything be less than perfect. The bride and groom looked absolutely beautiful together. 

Blake was dreading this day because every time his parents told him to get married he'd use Nina as an excuse, he would tell them that he'd only get married after Nina does.

On one side he was happy for Nina, but on the other side, he was thinking that he did not want to get married and lose his freedom. In their group, Blake was the most carefree and fickle-minded person. And now it's his turn.

After the ceremony now it was time to dance. People went to the dance floor where soothing music was being played by the band.

Ava standing in the corner attracted attention from a lot of men.

Some of them came forward and asked her to dance with them but their stares made her uncomfortable so she politely rejected them.

"May I have this dance?" Aiden asked in a gentlemanly manner.

"Oh no, I am not a good dancer," Ava replied to the handsome man in front of her. She liked his vibe, he seemed friendly.

"I'm a good dancer and I promise I will not let you fall," Aiden tried to convince her.

"Come on, please do not reject me," he said pleadingly, seeing that she did not respond.

"You just have to follow my lead," he said soothingly.

"Well do not blame me if I embarrass you on the dance floor in front of everybody," Ava said.

She had to say yes sooner or later and he looked decent so she gave him her hand.

"Oh believe me everyone will be jealous that I have such a beauty in my arms that no one will notice how we dance," Aiden said proudly and took her hand in his.

"Okay, I am ready as I'll ever be," Ava said with a small smile and went with Aiden.

On the dance floor, Ava put her left hand on his shoulder and joined her right hand with him.

"Relax, you are so stiff," Aiden said.

Ava took a deep breath and followed his feet. He was careful and he made her feel comfortable.

"See, you are enjoying the dance," Aiden said, seeing her smiling face.

"Yes, thanks to you, I used to take dance lessons, I always messed up and my teachers got tired teaching me. So I gave up dancing," Ava said in a dejected tone.

"Well, what can I say, I think your teachers were not as charming as me," Aiden told smugly.

Both of them laughed.

The waiter serving the wine mistakenly stepped on the dance floor where he accidentally bumped into her elbow with the tray and spilled wine on her dress.

The waiter got scared and started sweating.

One cannot make a mistake when you are serving in parties such as these, your name will be banned for all the future parties for that household.

These rich families paid them well and he cannot afford to be banned.

"Did you not know that you are not supposed to come on the dance floor?" Aiden said coldly.

He transformed into a totally different person, he was not the person who was just laughing with her.

"It's okay," Ava said, seeing Aiden was getting so angry. She did not want to make a big issue out of such a small matter.

"Just go," Ava told the waiter. The waiter was shivering and went away quickly.

"Let me clean my dress," Ava said, seeing the wine staining her dress.

"I will come with you," Aiden looked at her tenderly. The thing with Aiden was that he looked like a good guy but when he gets angry you can never predict his actions.

"No, I can manage," Ava said and went to the washroom.

On the other side, Tristan's grandparents were busy searching for a wife for their grandson in today's wedding.

Whenever they went to some social gatherings Tristan's grandmother was always on the lookout for a potential bride.

At today's wedding, many young well-bred socialites' daughters from all over the world were present.

Many brought their daughters in the hope that some big businessmen will take a liking to their daughters and they can all be part of a rich household.

"Grandma, I do not want to get married right now," Tristan said in a fed-up tone.

"Today, there are so many beautiful women at the party, why don't you select someone as your wife," Tristan's grandma said.

"You are already so old, if not now then when are you going to marry? I am okay with any girl that you like," Grandma said.

Dimitri laughed. Tristan stared at him coldly.

Dimitri raised his glass indicating he had nothing to do with this.

The culprit was Blake, he introduced a few young ladies to his grandparents and now they are getting all these ideas.

Their elders were forcing them to get married but the four aristocratic heirs were not in a hurry.

Whenever one of their families forced one of them to get married the other three enjoyed giving them a hard time.

Tristan did not have a good opinion about relationships after seeing his parents' failed marriage.

He never liked anyone and he did not want to marry just so he could have an heir.

"Give him some time," Tristan's Grandpa said, putting his arms around grandma's shoulder.

"I am not asking for something impossible, all I want is for him to get married," Grandma said in a dejected tone.

"Where are you going," Grandma asked, seeing Tristan get up.

"Aiyo, look at him always disrespecting me, we are just asking for a granddaughter-in-law why can he not fulfill it," Grandma said angrily.

Tristan did not want to argue with them so he quietly got up and left.

He heard Dimitri consoling his grandma in the background.
