Anything For Her

Wedding Photo Shoot

The venue of the wedding photo shoot that day was a film and television base in Jipsdale. Ordinary people could

never gain entry into that place.

The few cars arrived one after another. Since William was also joining them, the order of the photo shoot was

rearranged on the spur of the moment.

Tristan had the photographer snap their family portrait first so William could go home and rest after that had been

settled.

“Dad, we’ll take a family portrait first later. Then, I’ll have someone drive you back.”

Needless to say, Sarah would remain there throughout the day.

“It’s okay. I’m in perfect health! Since I’m here, I’ll stay and have fun as well!”

What’s the point of me going home alone? It’d be far better for me to keep them company here!

“Anyway, that’s the arrangement. If you’re tired, you can go back first without having to sit here waiting.

Sarah then approached with some cosmetics in her hands.

William eyed his daughter warily. “What are you doing? I’m telling you, I don’t want to apply makeup! Fi already up

in years!”

I look dashing enough now, so I don’t need any makeup!

“We’re all wearing makeup, Dad. If I make an exception for you, you won’t look good in the photo. Look, aren’t

Lincoln and Tristan cooperating? It’s rare for us to take a photo together as a family. Just compromise this once,

okay?”

“1…” Seeing as Sarah had said as much, William had no choice but to relent. “I’m already up in years. If my friends

were to see me applying makeup here, they’d laugh me out of the room!”

Never have I worn makeup in my entire life!

“They’d never do that. You’re being stylish here!”

Done with her makeup, Ysabelle came over to help.

“You look incredibly handsome today, Grandpa!”

“I’m handsome every single day, okay?” Which day am I not handsome? I’m astounded by my good looks on a daily

basis!

Sophie had already changed into a wedding gown. Right then, the makeup artist was doing her makeup. She had a

great complexion in the first place, so it did not have to be overly complicated.

“Your skin is as smooth as silk, Ms. Tanner! What’s your skincare routine?“

“I don’t have a skincare routine.”

Would I spend time keeping up a skincare routine when I’m such a lazy bum?

When Sophie’s makeup was done, the hairstylist did her hair before draping the veil over her head

The entire makeover took half an hour. By the time she was ready, everyone else was also set to go. After all,

makeup artists and stylists alone amounted to twelve people that day.

The instant Sophie turned around, she was greeted by the sight of Tristan standing behind her with his eyes fixed on

her. A hint of embarrassment swept over her.

“Are all of you ready?”

“Yeah, all of us are ready. Let’s go! We’ll take a family portrait first.”

From now on, she’s also a member of the Lombard family! The Lombard family has always been protective of its

own. As such, no one can pick on her anymore henceforth. Nobody will be allowed to do so!

In the Lombard family’s family portrait, William stood in the center in high spirits, with Tristan on his left and Sophie

on his right.

Sarah and Lincoln stood in the second row in the gaps between those in the front row, while Ysabelle half- squatted

in front of William in a challenging pose.

By then, the photographer had already set up the camera.

“Great! Perfect, even! Just act natural. Say cheese on the count of three.” The photographer was well- known in

Jipsdale. He was very much amicable.

“One, two, three!”

“Cheese!”

Mark, Sunny, Arius, Charles, Georgina, Cecelia, and Sean watched from the side. The sight of the happy family had

them all going green with envy.

“Great! Good job! This photo is perfect. It’s really superb. All of you are very photogenic!”

The entire family possesses top-notch looks, so this photo is already stellar without any edits needed.

William went over to have a look at the photo. Immediately, a gratified smile bloomed on his face.

“Come over and take a look, Ysabelle. Am I not the most handsome of them all?” While I’m already advanced in

years, I’m still exceedingly photogenic!

Hastening over, Ysabelle studied the family portrait with her grandfather, beaming proudly from ear to

car.

“Yeah, my grandpa is the most handsome man in this world!” That’s the veritable truth, and this photo is truly

perfect!

Even Lincoln walked over for a look.

“You’re still as handsome as when you were young, Dad. I have something else to do today, so I won’t be able to

stay here with you all. I’ll be leaving first.”

Such was the nature of his work. He was never free for a day of his life, and he had to leave right then.

“Okay, go ahead.” William did not even bother to spare him a single glance.

“Why don’t you leave with me, Dad? I’ll drop you off at home first.”

They’ll likely spend the entire day here for the wedding photo shoot. He’s already old, so he doesn’t need to involve

himself here.

“It’s okay. I want to stay here and have fun for a bit. The driver will send me back when I’m tired.”

William did not want to leave yet.

He was happier to be in the company of that group of young people.

“Just leave first if you’re busy, Lincoln. I’ll keep an eye on Dad here and leave with him later.”

“All right. I’ll entrust him to you, then. Dad is already up in years, so don’t let him stay out for too long.”

At that precise moment, Tristan strode over.

“Come, Dad! Take a photo with us alone!”

“Sure!”

William readily went with the man. He stood in the center while Sophie and Tristan flanked him on both sides. In that

instant, a great sense of melancholy washed over him..

I’ve finally raised my three children to adulthood in this lifetime and have done right by my late wife! Do you see

this, Darling? Our youngest son is getting married. He has grown up to be an incredibly outstanding man, and his

soon- to-be wife is likewise a remarkable woman. You have to watch over our family in heaven. Right now, Sarah is

the only one left without a life partner among the three of them, Darling. Intercede for her in heaven so she’ll soon

find someone who truly loves her and live happily ever after!

Truth be told, that daughter of his was currently his greatest worry.

In the brief time of snapping a photo, his mind wandered miles away. It was only when the photographer started

counting that he jolted out of his thoughts. A blissful smile adorned his face.

“The bride and groom should stand closer to Old Mr. Lombard. Act more intimate.”

“Hold my grandpa’s arm, Sophie! Act more intimate!” Ysabelle hollered as she watched from the side.

Sophie took William’s arm. In actual fact, the latter was not an unapproachable person at all. Once he

acknowledged someone, he would be truly affable to them.

Having found a satisfactory angle, the photographer promptly captured that moment.

“Okay, great! This photo is also perfect!” I reckon they will undoubtedly be in a dilemma when it’s time to choose

the photos since every single one is terrific!

During the interlude amidst the photo shoot, Georgina brought Sophie a thermos filled with warm water at just the

right temperature.

“Have some water. You’ll probably be bone-weary today.” That was a common occurrence during a wedding photo

shoot. By the end of it, one’s face would have already gone stiff from the perpetual smiling.
