Chris entered his room after saying good night to his dad. Mia was about to go in too when Zenith drew her back.

"Mia," he called.

"What is it?" she asked him.

"Did you mean it? I thought you said you cannot be separated from Chris."

He really didn't know what to do if Mia really left. How was he supposed to win her heart then? He needed her by his side. All he wants right now is Mia Quinn.

"I meant it. I don't think I'm supposed to stay here. I don't belong here. What if your family thinks of me as a gold digger? Chris is related to you by blood, so I'm sure you will treat him well. You don't need to worry about that," Mia told him.

She didn't want to leave Chris too, but she knew it's for the best. She is going to stay for a few more days here and observe everyone. If she finds everything okay, she will leave. She can always see Chris anytime she wants though. She will make sure she clarifies that before she leaves.

She searched her tiny closet and finally put on a simple gown."You look so good in a gown," he told her."I know," she replied."Hope you haven't booked any restaurant?" Dora asked him."I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in eating in a five or seven-star restaurant. Street food will always be the best. Let's try as many street foods as we can today," she told him, her face sparkling."What?" Yanis didn't know if he heard it

    "Rosa, let's get married," he told her. Rosa's eyes widened. Is she having an ear problem now? What is it that she just heard? "What?" she asked."I know I've not been really good to you. I know I'm not really worthy of you. After all, you are the princess of the Baxtar clan. But still, I hope you could give me a chance to take responsibility for you all my life," he paused and brought out a small box from his inner pocket."Marry me, Rosalind," he told her as he opened the box. In the box was a diamond ring.The diamond on the ring was big. Rosa couldn't explain her feelings at the moment. She thought he wanted to break up with her. She thought everything was ending today. Who knew it was just starting? She was simply short of words. She didn't know what to say."Say something, Rosa," Ethan urged her. He looked anxious. He looked as if her response matters a lot to him. Has she been really thinking too much? Could it be that Ethan really cared for her? "

"Is today going to count as our first date?" she asked him."Whatever you say," he replied."Let's go on a date next Sunday too. You are always busy on weekdays," she told him."Actually, we are going abroad to shoot our movie. We are leaving on Tuesday," he told her.Scarlett mouthed 'oh.'"How long will the shooting take?" she asked."We are just shooting some few scenes, so it should take us three weeks at most," he replied.Scarlett sighed. Three weeks is a lot."Oh... OK," she said.Zander stopped. "Why? Will you miss me? Is that why you are sad?"Scarlett huffed. "Who said I'm sad? Can I come with you?" she asked him."I wish, but the crew will be so busy over the

However, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being an outsider in this world of high society."Jerry, this is Mr. Smith, one of our old family friends," his father said, introducing him to an older gentleman dressed in an expensive suit."Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith," Jerry said, offering a handshake."Ah, you must be Jerry Gordon, the young doctor. Your father talks very highly of you," Mr. Smith replied with a smile.Jerry nodded and forced a smile.

    "They watched as everybody discussed without involving them. After a while, Mr. Gordon finally said, 'What do you think, Joyce? You're not getting younger. Let's hold the wedding this year? What do you say?' Finally, someone is seeking their opinion."I think there is a misunderstanding here. Jerry and I are not what you think," Joyce told them. "What? This jerk refused to take responsibility?" Jerry's father asked."Responsibility for what?" Joyce wondered. "While the luncheon is on, the both of you sneaked out of the party. Do not be ashamed; it's youthful hormones," Grandpa Lloyd said. "Or are you trying to get pregnant before the wedding? That's a nice idea too," he said."No one's getting married. I don't even know Jerry until today. I have been hearing of the Gordons and that their heir is remarkable, but I don't know him. He had too much to drink, so I offered my bed to him. He only slept while I browsed through my phone.Really, that's what happen

    Rosa hailed a cab after walking around for a while without any destination in mind. Everything seemed like a nightmare to her. She wished she could wake up from this terrible nightmare and find that it is all a dream. Rosa was brought up as an elite, a young lady of the upper class. No matter what happens, she is not to resort to drinking. If not, she would have looked for a bar and drank all her sorrow away.

    Rosa dropped hints, and she knew Zenith would catch on. "That guy is not a straight guy? Does this mean he is gay?" Zenith asked carefully. Rosa kept quiet, and Zenith took it as a positive answer. Everyone at the table was shocked."What are you saying, Zenith?" Reina just couldn't believe it. "Rosa, what are you implying? This is the man you are about to get married to. Don't say nonsense," she said. To her, Ethan is already a perfect son. She finds it hard to believe that he is into homosexuality. "There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.""I saw him with his gay partner. I witnessed that jerk cheating on me with a man!" Rosa almost yelled but controlled herself. She would only yell if she still cared about him. She wouldn't care about him again. She is going to forget about him."If he knows he is into guys, why did he date you? He even proposed to you. How can he... Your marriage is even near..." Frank couldn't think of the possibility that Ethan is usin
