Chapter 1441: The Deleon family didn't host the wedding at a fancy place, but that didn't stop the wedding from being lavish and spectacular.
Bright streamers stretched across the mansion, and every inch of the mansion brimmed with festive decorations. A steady stream of guests filled the venue.
Eileen had been told to stay inside the car and not step out, leaving her to gaze wistfully through the car window at the lively crowd outside.

Bryan had turned the car around to give Eileen a better view, though all he could see from his side was a cluster of trees.
After a while, Eileen watched a car pull up to the Deleon family's mansion's entrance. The driver stepped out, opened the back door, and helped Colby out of the car.
Colby wore dark sunglasses, and he looked thinner than before. His suit sagged awkwardly as if it no longer fit him. The moment he stepped out, the driver and a groomsman had to support him by the arms to keep him upright as he stumbled toward the mansion.
"Is he already drunk at this hour or something?" Eileen frowned. "He can't even stand up straight." Before she could say more, a familiar warmth settled next to her.
Bryan leaned in close, his presence wrapping around her. Glancing toward the mansion, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Honestly, it's amazing he's still breathing. Expecting him to stand straight is asking too much." Eileen gave Bryan a puzzled look. "What do you mean by that?" Bryan unlocked the car and said, “Con, get out and mingle with the crowd. Follow me." Eileen stepped out of the car.
A voice from the crowd called out, "Mr. Dawson, Mrs. Dawson! Wait... Are you expecting, Mrs. Dawson?" Dressed in a long black gown and a beige cardigan, Eileen couldn't conceal her growing baby bump.
Even so, she managed to maintain her slim figure. The crowd kept their distance from Eileen, offering warm greetings and congratulations to Bryan.
Bryan kept his cool, though this wasn't his first tbecoming a father. Still, the well wishes brought a small smile to his face.
Soon, all attention turned toward Eileen and her pregnancy. The guests surrounded Eileen until a man who seemed to be a butler rushed out of the Deleon family's mansion, offering hasty apologies. ""My deepest apologies, everyone. Mr. Deleon is not feeling well, so the wedding will be delayed for a short while. Please head to the venue and make yourselves comfortable while we sort things out." Following Bryan's lead, the group made their way inside the Deleon family's mansion, with the butler guiding them to the back garden, where they found their seats.
Amoura and Javier welcomed the arriving guests, pausing briefly to chat with Bryan.
Eileen noticed a flicker of anxiety cross Javier's face, prompting her to glance toward the second-floor window of the mansion.
She caught a faint glimpse of a tall figure lingering by the window. But soon, the figure slipped out of sight behind the curtains.
