When I Quit Being A Wicked Mother-in-law, Everyone Became Obsessed With Me

Extra Chapter 5

Time flowed like water.

Before long, Elliot and Liliana were approaching their twentieth birthdays.

During this time, Elliot had firmly established himself as an artist through seven solo exhibitions and two international exhibitions.

Liliana, having learned swordsmanship from Alexei, had become a prominent knight throughout the empire.

And finally.

“I can’t believe we’re preparing for the wedding of Liliana and Elliot,” Anriche said with a nostalgic voice.

The two decided to hold their wedding in the year they both came of age.

Delphina nodded in agreement. “It really doesn’t feel real. Time seems to be flying by.”

Delphina, who had been in the duchy, had recently returned to the capital after hearing the news about her grandson and granddaughter-in-law’s wedding.

Anriche and Delphina, the two mothers-in-law, were passionately engaged in wedding preparations.

They had one thing they agreed on:

“Our children’s wedding must be absolutely perfect!”

“How can you think exactly like me?” Delphina replied, clasping her hands over her heart in response to Anriche’s outburst.

Thus, the Valois townhouse became very bustling.

Numerous people visited the Valois household: tailors, jewelers, wholesalers selling foodstuffs, and merchants dealing in dishware.

Amid all this, the day for Liliana’s wedding dress fitting approached.

“Wow, Lily!”

Clap, clap, clap!

Beatrice clapped her hands enthusiastically, her eyes shining like stars.

“Sister, you look like an angel!”

Anriche thought Beatrice’s praise was entirely justified.

After all,

‘Our Lily is the most beautiful bride-to-be in the world!’

Anriche was internally gushing just as much as Beatrice was.

Liliana, dressed in a pure white wedding dress and a translucent lace veil, smiled shyly.

“Thank you, Bella.”

“It’s nothing! I’m just speaking the truth!”

Beatrice exclaimed, her cheeks flushed.

“Today, you look really beautiful.”

Delphina was also busy complimenting her granddaughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Elliot…

“…”

Was simply fixed on Liliana, as if entranced.

He had no words or reactions at all.

It was as if staring at Liliana was the only task left for him on this earth.

Elliot could not tear his gaze away from his fiancée.

At that moment, as Liliana exchanged a few words with Delphina, she turned to Elliot.

“Elliot?”

“…”

“Elliot!”

Only after Liliana called his name a second time did he snap back to reality.

Liliana carefully asked, “How do I look? Do I seem okay?”

Her voice was filled with anticipation.

Elliot swallowed dryly.

And what he said was,

“Lily.”

“Yes?”
