Stand Me Up? I'll Marry His Billionaire Uncle novel Chapter 160

She liked Tristan, but she didn't want to be a delicate wallflower hidden away at home, longing for sunlight. She wanted people to see her, to see how much she loved.

But her adoptive father's casual dismissal seemed to erase everything she'd ever done.

Annabelle smiled, "Luna, stop staring at your phone. Come on, let's go try on some wedding dresses together."

"Still reading all those online rumors? Honestly, why put yourself through this? Wouldn't it be better just to settle down as the Lawsons' daughter-in-law?"

Because of all the gossip swirling online, they'd managed to keep it from Luna's grandfather for now—otherwise, he'd be lecturing her again.

Annabelle felt helpless. No matter what Luna did, her father-in-law always found fault with her, never showing her the same warmth he gave Sunny.

But Luna was her beloved daughter—if Grandpa wouldn't dote on her, Annabelle would just have to make up for it herself.

"I'm not looking anymore. Mom, let's go." Luna's eyes flickered with a new idea.

Three days later, the internet was flooded with Luna's wedding photos once again.

Most people assumed this was SkyVault's latest PR move to clean up Luna's image, but only Sunny recognized the truth—those were the very gowns from Luna and Tristan's wedding day.

Sunny had worn that exact same dress too. The design was nearly identical, every detail the same.

Luna was showing off to her, even from afar.

Sunny let out a faintly mocking smile, then drove toward Memorial Gardens.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of her grandmother's memorial.

Holding a bouquet of white and yellow chrysanthemums, Sunny scattered the petals gently across the headstone.

"Grandma, rest in peace. I promise, I'll take good care of myself."

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

As tradition dictated, Sean came as well. Grace Quinn and Chloe arrived with him.

Chloe glanced at the woman kneeling before the grave, a smirk tugging at her lips.

Who was she kidding, acting so devoted?

She went through the motions of paying her respects, then complained about the chill on the hillside and insisted on heading back down.

"Dad, you all go ahead. I'd like to stay with Grandma a little longer."

She smiled. "I'm at Memorial Gardens. Today's Grandma's memorial."

"I see." He didn't sound surprised. "You're still there?"

"Yeah, I am."

"Which section? I'll come find you."

That simple line sent a shiver through her heart.

"You—you're here too?"

"I'm at the entrance. Sunny, just tell me where, okay? As your fiancé, I should pay my respects to your grandma too. No need to sound so shocked."

In that moment, it was as if the whole dim world suddenly lit up.

She replied in a whisper, "Blessing Bay, Section Three."

He let out a low, indulgent chuckle. "Got it. Wait for me—I'll be there in ten minutes."
