Jerlina shrugged and turned to look at Jeremy with a burst of miffed laughter.
"Isn't that your sister?" Alexander asked Jeremy. "I wanted to ask you why she was wearing the bride's color. I heard that it is not allowed?" he looked at Portia and Portia nodded.
"…I noticed that too. But it was a different shade of white so I let it pass. And she…" Portia hesitated for a moment. But Samuel placed his hand on her back.
"There are shades of white?" he asked with a clueless look. "It's white."
Jerlina hid her smile seeing Portia trying hard not to roll her eyes as everyone's eyes were on them.
"No, what Jerlina is wearing is pure white and what she wore is champagne white," she explained.
"And," Samuel looked at her and she took in a deep breath. "She didn't look too happy either."
"She's my half-sister," Jeremy corrected Alexander.
