Aaron's eyes darkened even more at her words, a dangerous glint flickering. "You want kids?" he asked quietly.Selena blinked her large eyes innocently. "Don’t you? Aveline's having two at once! She’s amazing. We could just take one, right?"Suddenly, she felt his arm tighten around her waist, and she gasped, instinctively straightening her back. "Aaron, what are you doing?"His hand gripped her waist, and though his lips curved in a faint smile, there was a trace of menace in his gaze. "Why would we need someone else’s child? Can’t we have our own?"It took a moment for Selena to realize something was off with Aaron today. Hesitantly, she asked, "What’s gotten into you?"Aaron gave a cold laugh, his eyes narrowing. "I heard you’ve been telling others I’m not… capable.""I never said that!" Selena shot back immediately. "I know perfectly well that you are. Why would I ever say such a thing?"But Aaron didn’t seem convinced. Without warning, he stood up and scooped her into his arms,

Selena's face immediately fell, her lips pouting. "What kind of feast are we talking about?"While loosening the ties at the back of her dress, Maria said, "Whatever feast it was, you’re not eating it. Hold out for a few days, and I’ll make it up to you."Selena looked even more dejected. "Fine."Aveline continued snacking on fruit and said, "Join me with some fruit instead."After much effort, Selena finally managed to get out of the wedding dress. She then opened another box with a smile. "This is the traditional outfit I’ll wear when Aaron comes to pick me up."Aveline stood up and walked over for a closer look, her eyes lighting up immediately. "It’s beautiful!"The vibrant white gown was adorned with intricate embroidery, each stitch exquisitely crafted with great attention to detail.Even Maria couldn’t help but be impressed. She quickly pulled out her phone and snapped a picture. "I’m posting this on social media."Selena glanced at her with a playful look. "What, seeing the wed

"Say what?" Aveline blinked, clearly confused as she looked at Selena.Selena sighed and rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit exasperated. But maybe it wasn’t the right moment to push the subject too far?Before she could decide, Maria spoke up. "There’s really nothing much to say. Sidney used to have feelings for Aveline, but she’s always been in love with Lucas. Now, he’s interested in me, although I suspect there might be other factors at play. But that’s all in the past now."Hearing this, Selena paused for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I guess I was reading too much into it."She knew Maria wasn’t the type to hold grudges. Besides, Maria was Lucas’ subordinate, and if she had any ill will toward Aveline, she wouldn’t have been so dedicated to helping her. Plus, Aveline really wasn’t involved in any of it—it was Sidney who couldn’t seem to make up his mind.Aveline, realizing what Selena had been hinting at, smiled wryly. "You really are overthinking things. Sidney and I never

The cold tension in the air began to spread, but Selena acted as if she didn’t notice a thing. "You should head home," she said casually. "I’m about to go to bed myself.""Move," Lucas said suddenly, his voice low and commanding.Selena let out a mocking laugh. "And who do you think you are? You tell me to move, and I’m supposed to just step aside?"Lucas’ expression darkened, his gaze cold as it locked onto her. But Selena wasn’t intimidated in the slightest—in fact, she boldly stared right back at him.Lucas stayed quiet, his frustration evident. This was the kind of boldness that only family could get away with, pushing boundaries just because they could.Exhaling a heavy breath, he said, "I just want to see her for a moment. After that, I’ll leave.""Nope," Selena replied briskly, shutting the door in his face without hesitation.Lucas closed his eyes for a brief moment, and when he reopened them, they were filled with icy resolve. Yet after standing there for a few seconds, he si

"Uh... yeah, that's true." Selena nodded, agreeing with Maria's reasoning.Maria continued, "And you'll need to find the right moment to bring it up, to minimize the risk as much as possible."Selena, now visibly nervous, stammered, "I-is it really that serious?"Maria, looking completely serious, said, "Trust me, take this seriously.""Got it," Selena muttered, running a hand through her hair in frustration.Maria smiled slightly. "Get some sleep. You need to take care of yourself these next few days, so you’ll be at your best for the wedding. You want to be the most stunning bride, don’t you?"At the mention of the wedding, Selena’s excitement dimmed. Her mind kept spinning with thoughts of how Aaron would react if he found out she’d been pretending to be Snow this whole time.What should she do? Would he be furious? Would he lose his temper?This was such a mess!If she’d known it would be this complicated, she would’ve confessed much sooner....The night before the wedding.After

Maria stepped aside, allowing Gernard to enter first, followed by Gavin. Gavin, hands casually in his pockets, glanced at Selena and asked, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"Selena grinned. "I’m too excited! I’m getting married tomorrow, and I can’t sleep."Gavin snorted softly. "Ridiculous."Selena pouted in response. "You’ll eat those words, brother. When it’s your turn to get married, you’ll be too excited to sleep, too!"Gavin scoffed at the idea, dismissing her words entirely. The thought of being too excited to sleep before a wedding? Impossible.Selena, not wanting to argue further, turned away and brought two glasses of water over to them. "Where’s Mr. Cooper?" she asked Gernard."Dad’s abroad at an important meeting," Gernard explained. "He’ll probably only make it back tomorrow."Selena nodded understandingly. "If it’s too rushed, he doesn’t need to come. I don’t want him to overexert himself."Gernard smiled softly. "I’ll let him know."Selena was genuinely happy—her family had

Gernard casually pulled out one of the slips and said, "Let’s see what tasks we’ve got here."Unfolding the paper, he saw the words "sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy." Looking puzzled, Gernard asked, "What does that mean?"Maria explained, "As the name suggests, the groom has to experience all the flavors of life—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy. No skipping any."With that, she headed into the kitchen and returned a few moments later with a collection of ingredients. "I’ve got lemon juice for sour, sugar for sweet, bitter melon for bitter, and mustard for spicy.""This is great!" Gernard chuckled, clearly enjoying the idea."But I suggest swapping the vinegar for lemon juice—it’ll be even more fun," he added.Maria nodded in agreement. "That works."Turning to Gavin, Gernard said, "There’s one more task. Go ahead, open yours and see what it is."Gavin, clearly less enthusiastic about the whole thing, reluctantly took the other slip of paper and opened it. It read: "Love toast."Gernard p

Aaron entered the room, holding a bouquet in his hands, followed closely by Lance and Lucas."Sweetheart, I’m here to get you!" Aaron shouted as soon as he stepped through the door, his handsome face full of excitement."Hold on a second." Gernard raised his hand, stopping him in his tracks.Aaron paused and looked at him. "I know the drill. What do you have for me? Bring it on!"Gernard chuckled and stepped aside, revealing a table behind him covered with a red cloth. Four red strings dangled from the edge. Maria, standing nearby, explained, "Mr. Fletcher, if you pass the first challenge, you can move forward."Aaron raised an eyebrow. "And what’s the first challenge?"Maria pointed to the red strings. "Pick one and eat whatever it’s attached to. No reactions allowed—if you stay stone-faced, you pass."Aaron grinned and immediately turned to Lance, pulling him forward. "Buddy, it’s your time to shine."Lance remained calm and casually pulled one of the strings. At the end of it was a

Jolie stirred, her eyes fluttering open in the dimly lit cabin. The sharp, handsome features of the man before her were so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath. His lips, carrying his familiar scent, gently traced hers, as if torn between waking her and letting her sleep. Her breath hitched, a brief moment of confusion washing over her. Gavin noticed and, in response, pressed a firm kiss to her lips. "Did I wake you?" "You did that on purpose," Jolie replied, her voice soft and husky from sleep. "Mm." Gavin didn’t deny it, his tone unapologetic as he leaned down to kiss her again. Still groggy, Jolie found herself caught off guard, his lips capturing hers with a growing intensity. By the time she realized what was happening, he had deepened the kiss, his tongue teasing and tangling with hers in an intoxicating rhythm. Her breath quickened, and she instinctively pushed against him. Gavin pulled back, only to trail kisses along her cheek and down her neck, his

The night air was cool, a gentle breeze slipping through the car window and lifting the strands of hair framing her face. They fluttered across her vision, briefly distracting her, yet she could still clearly see his eyes. At that moment, the unease and uncertainty stirring in her chest melted away, replaced by an inexplicable sense of calm. It felt as though there was nothing he couldn’t handle. As long as he wanted to. Jolie smiled softly and said, "Alright." When they arrived at the private airstrip, the captain came forward to exchange a few words with Gavin. Standing nearby, Jolie watched and couldn’t resist asking, "How long will you be staying?" Gavin glanced at her. "How long do you want me to stay?" The overly intimate tone of his words, spoken with such casual ease, caught her off guard. Her cheeks flushed immediately—especially since there were others around to hear it. Lowering her gaze shyly, she murmured, "You can stay as long as you want." She turned he

Gavin looked at her, his gaze steady, and replied in a calm voice, "You’ve got the leverage to do it." Oh... Jolie’s heart skipped a beat, her pulse momentarily thrown off rhythm. What was this feeling? It was as if someone was spoiling her, cherishing her unconditionally. Even though it was just a simple conversation, it carried a warmth she couldn’t ignore. For a moment, she realized that what she once thought was affection and care had been nothing but an illusion. A smile unconsciously curved on her lips as her eyes lit up. "Does this mean I can walk around Larbor City like I own the place?" Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Are you a crab?" Jolie burst into laughter, her mood instantly lifted by his quick-witted remark. Her earlier irritation dissipated, replaced by lightheartedness. Whether or not he meant it, the fact that he sided with her made her happy. "I’m full. Should we head out?" she asked, her appetite long gone after everything that had happened earlier.

The girl stared in disbelief, her hands clutching her face. "You hit me?" Jolie blinked innocently at her. "Weren’t you the one insisting I hit you earlier? I just gave you another slap to match your story. You should be used to it by now." "Jolie Quin!" Ian had reached his limit, his voice full of anger as he glared at her. "Apologize to her!" Jolie glanced at him, her expression calm but icy. "Get lost." She had thought he might be reasonable, but clearly, he was blinded by infatuation. She had no patience to deal with him any longer and turned to leave. Before she could take a step, Ian grabbed her arm roughly. "Jolie, you’re not leaving without apologizing! I don’t think I’ve ever wronged you, have I? We used to get along just fine, didn’t we?" "Let go," Jolie said, her brows knitting in disgust. She hated being touched, especially by someone she considered beneath her. Ian tightened his grip, his hand digging into her arm hard enough to cause pain. "Jolie, yo

Jolie was completely baffled, a string of question marks running through her mind. But when the girl suddenly dropped to her knees, it genuinely startled her.She quickly reached out to help her up. "Get up first. We can talk properly."Before Jolie could react, the girl grabbed her hand and slapped herself hard across the face with it.Smack!The crisp sound echoed in the quiet hallway, leaving Jolie frozen in shock."Why did you hit me?" The girl, who had just been crying like an innocent damsel in distress, now clutched her face and loudly accused her. "Ian and I are the real couple! You’re the one coming between us. How could you hit me?"Jolie blinked, completely dumbfounded, as the girl’s voice rang out.A few passersby paused, glancing over to witness the commotion.Meanwhile, Ian, who had been waiting and wondering why his girlfriend hadn’t returned, came looking for her. The scene he walked into—his girlfriend on the ground, crying and accusing Jolie—made him stride forward,

The person in the hallway glanced at her briefly but quickly looked away, as though she were a stranger. Jolie’s hand, lifted halfway to wave, stalled in mid-air.What... was that? Gavin noticed her reaction and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?" "Nothing," Jolie replied, shaking her head and brushing it off. The man outside was Ian. Pretending not to know her was probably his way of avoiding unnecessary trouble—after all, they had already "broken up." The door to their private room shut completely, and Gavin hadn’t seen Ian or his group. He turned back to her and asked, "Do you come here often?" "Yeah," Jolie nodded. "I come here a lot with friends." So, this was one of her favorite hidden gems. The fact that she was willing to share it with him felt significant somehow. Gavin caught himself lingering on that thought and was momentarily taken aback by his own reaction. He kept his expression neutral, not letting on what had crossed his mind. The food arrived qui

The reason it wasn’t the same was simple—her plan would fall apart if she got caught.Of course, that wasn’t something she could admit.Jolie simply said, "I just don’t want any unnecessary complications. Since you’ve already arranged the flight, let’s just leave directly."Gavin’s dark eyes fixed on her for a moment, but he didn’t press the issue.It was clear she didn’t want to talk about it any further, so he let it drop.When the elevator doors opened, the two of them walked out together. A car was already waiting at the entrance. Gavin, ever the gentleman, opened the door for her.The car pulled away from Cooper Enterprises, and Gavin asked, "What do you want to eat?"Jolie, busy typing on her phone, replied, "I know a good restaurant."It was a cozy place she loved, one she often visited with her friends."Alright," Gavin replied, pulling out his phone to respond to some emails. With his work condensed into such a tight schedule, he seized every spare moment to handle it.Jolie p

Gavin suddenly recalled Wilfried's words, "That girl doesn’t even like you."Lowering his gaze slightly, Gavin pushed the thought aside without explanation, his expression remaining cool and indifferent as he watched her. After Jolie finished looking through the photos, she turned to him and asked, "Why do you have pictures of all these women?" "My father brought them over," Gavin replied. "Oh." Jolie nodded knowingly and didn’t press further. It was easy enough to figure out—the Cooper family obviously wanted him to consider an arranged marriage, so they sent over these photos for him to choose from. She could understand that. In fact, she even helped him look through them, just in case one of these women turned out to be a good match for him. After all, their relationship wasn’t meant to last forever. When he grew tired of her and she had her fun, they’d part ways, and everything would return to normal. As she neatly organized the photos and placed them back on the ta

It was Jolie’s first time visiting Cooper Enterprises, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity about the place.No, to be precise, it was her first time stepping into any corporate office. The Quin family also had company, but she had never visited, nor had Daisy or Terence ever asked her to.The private elevator for the CEO was stunningly opulent, its polished surface gleaming like a mirror, perfectly reflecting their images. Jolie’s heart began to race with an inexplicable excitement.The assistant glanced at her and said with a warm smile, "Miss Quin, there’s no need to be nervous. Mr. Cooper will definitely be delighted to see you."Jolie nodded and replied, "I’m not nervous."The elevator moved swiftly, and as they neared the executive office, Jolie adjusted her cap and mask, pulling them snugly to hide her face as much as possible.Meanwhile, near the adjacent employee elevator, Rosalie was holding a stack of files, ready to head downstairs.She froze the moment she s
