SWNOVELS Chapter 1882
Karina let out a small sigh of relief as she thought about Yvette. "Good thing she softened up and caught the bouquet in the end. Otherwise, all my planning would've been for nothing.'
She had carefully arranged everything, ensuring that the people standing near Yvette were prepped and ready to move out of the way when the bouquet was thrown. The goal was to leave Yvette no choice but to catch it.
Who knew Yvette would almost dodge it anyway, nearly ruining her plan?
"Speaking of that," Karina suddenly remembered something and glanced at Wilfred. "Who was the guy who caught her when she fell? Is he single? If he's a good match, maybe we should introduce him to Yvette."
Wilfred frowned slightly. "It's our wedding, and you're busy checking out other men?"
Karina rolled her eyes at his obvious teasing, about to snap back when Wilfred straightened and replied seriously, "He's a friend of mine. Solid guy, no doubt about his character. He's been focused on research in biotechnology for years, which is why he's still single."
He paused before adding, can introduce them, but whether Yvette's interested or not is a different story."
Karina thought about Yvette's earlier remarks about relationships. Love wasn't something you could solve by sheer effort-it needed the right timing, the right connection.
"We can do our part, toss her the bouquet and introduce the guy. After that, it's up to her and fate," Karina said with a smile.

Wilfred stayed with Karina in the dressing room for a long time while she got ready. When she finally stepped out in her new look, she found several people waiting outside, glasses of wine in hand, clearly ready to challenge Wilfred.
Their intention was obvious-they weren't going to stop until he was drunk.
Wilfred didn't shy away. Having taken some anti-hangover pills earlier, he played along, drinking and chatting with the crowd.
Seeing him start to get a bit too far into it, Karina stepped forward, her smile polite but her tone sharp. "What exactly are you all trying to do here?"
The group laughed and joked, "It's a happy occasion! Of course, we're just celebrating and having fun!" Karina's gaze swept over them, her tone playful but firm. "Is that so?"
The moment she fixed her eyes on them, they faltered, mumbling some excuses before dispersing.
But even with that group gone, Karina could feel other eyes
watching them. She quickly caught on. "Looks like they're not planning to get you drunk all at once. They're going to do it gradually since the night is still young."
An idea suddenly struck her, and she turned to Wilfred. "While you're still sober, why don't you find your friend and see if you can help set him up with Yvette?"
Wilfred gave her a playful pinch on the waist and corrected her with a smirk. "What do you mean while I'm still sober? I'll be clear-headed all night."
Karina's cheeks flushed, her face
heating up as she realized how her words sounded. To distract herself, she quickly changed the subject. "Let's focus on the importanttask, then."
Wilfred chuckled. "Of course, it's all important."
He scanned the crowd with sharp eyes before his lips curled into a smile. "Though, I don't think we'll need to do much after all."
Following his gaze, Karina looked over to the dessert table and spotted a familiar figure-Yvette.
Standing beside her was the very man who had caught her earlier. The two were chatting casually, their bodies leaning closely toward each other.
In Yvette's hands was the bouquet she had caught earlier, still held tightly. She hadn't let go of it all evening.
