Sarah frowned after reading a message from the wedding organizer handling her wedding, which was only two weeks away."[Good morning, Ms. Johnson. Could you come to our place today for a dress fitting after lunch?]"'Why didn't Troy inform me? Does he not know?' Sarah muttered as she continued getting ready for work.Since the incident at the Carla Hotel a few days ago, Troy hadn't come to see her. Sarah was still upset and reluctant to reach out to her fiancé. But there was an unusual feeling that had been nagging at her. Troy seemed distant in recent days. There were no messages from him, no regular morning pickups."What's going on with him?" Sarah wondered."Heading out, Sarah? Let Alex drive you!" Celine greeted her as she stepped out of her room."No need. Thanks. I need to take the car. I have a dress fitting at the wedding planner's after lunch.""Are you going with Joshua?"Sarah nodded as she ate her breakfast."Not with Troy?" Celine asked eagerly.Once again, Sara
"As a man, you must take responsibility for your negligence. We could easily take this to court. You deliberately left Grace alone, didn't you? You wanted her to get hurt, didn't you?" Roy's anger reached a boiling point, and he slammed the table. His fury only intensified after Troy refused.Troy could only remain silent. But after a few seconds, he gathered the courage to speak."But I love Sarah. And Grace... I've always considered her my sister. How could I possibly marry her?" Troy spoke cautiously, still seeing the rage in Roy's eyes."But this is different. You just need to make her happy. Give her the will to recover! The doctor said Grace has lost all hope. She has no will to live. Please, Troy." This time, Lucy pleaded.Troy's face grew tense. His thoughts immediately shifted to Sarah. The overwhelming longing for her seemed to take over his heart. It had been almost a week since he last saw his fiancée."Please consider my request!" Roy insisted.Troy took a deep breat
"Why are you silent, Troy?" Sarah turned to the man beside her, gazing at her fiancé with a sharp look.Troy tried to smile. "I haven't been going to the office. My other business had some issues, but everything's under control now. I'm sorry I haven't been in touch much these past few days. I just wanted to resolve everything before our wedding. I want to take you and the kids somewhere for a vacation after we get married. We'll have a peaceful honeymoon, knowing the kids are safe with us," Troy explained at length, breathing a sigh of relief when Sarah smiled, though his heart was still uneasy because he was hiding something."Are we really going to take the kids on our honeymoon?" Sarah glanced at Troy with a teasing look.Troy chuckled, amused by Sarah's newfound boldness in teasing him."I've already booked a hotel with two bedrooms. That way, you can still nurse Prince whenever you need to, even during our honeymoon. Though, I might ask Prince to share a bit. Hehehe..."Sa
"Troy. Quickly, go to Grace's room! She's been waiting for you," Levin approached Troy, who had just arrived in the hospital lobby."What happened? What's wrong with Grace?" Troy looked panicked, seeing Levin's pale face."Grace tried to hurt herself by pulling out her IV and the medical devices attached to her body. She kept screaming for you." Levin spoke breathlessly while walking quickly beside Troy.Troy let out a heavy sigh. What he had been worrying about for a while now filled his mind even more. Troy repeatedly rubbed his face. Again, the image of Sarah's face flashed through his mind.'Sarah, what should I do? Roy and Lucy will definitely ask me to marry Grace,' Troy thought to himself.Sarah's face continued to haunt Troy with every step he took through the hospital corridor. The beautiful face and smile of the woman he loved so much lingered in his mind. The woman he had fought for over the years. And now, he was just a step away from officially becoming her rightful h
"Good morning, Elena. Is Mr. Peterson in the office?" For some reason, Sarah felt uneasy this morning. Troy's phone had been off since dawn. Finally, she decided to contact Troy's secretary once office hours began."He sent a message last night that he wouldn't be coming to the office today because a family member is sick."'What? A family member is sick? Why didn't Troy tell me?' Sarah thought anxiously."Good morning, Ms. Johnson! The meeting with the Battermans this morning has been postponed. Their secretary said Roy Batterman's child had an accident." Suddenly, Bradley entered her office."Which child? Grace?" Sarah asked, startled by the news."I don't know.""Bradley, please find out which hospital Roy's child is being treated at!""Yes, ma'am." Bradley quickly returned to his office and immediately contacted Roy's secretary. However, it turned out that Roy's secretary didn't know which hospital his child was being treated at, because the accident had happened over a week
"We should reconsider our wedding plans. I'm leaving now!"Troy was shocked by Sarah's words. He quickly grabbed her again, pulling her back into his embrace from behind."Sarah... please don't say that. Please believe me. You're the only one in my heart.""What are you doing? This is embarrassing! Look, everyone is staring at us! Let go, will you?" Sarah's face turned red as people passing by in the hallway started to notice them, especially since many recognized Troy's well-known face."I won't let go unless we talk in my car right now!" Troy whispered in Sarah's ear."Fine. But let go of me first!" Sarah replied in frustration, her voice low. She struggled to remove Troy's hands, which were encircling her chest. She wanted to be angry, but she was already the center of attention, forcing her to hold back the emotions boiling inside her.Troy didn't want Sarah to leave. This time, he walked with his arm around her waist."Let go of me, Troy!""No! I don't want you to leave. Y
"So, what do you want to ask, darling?"Troy led Sarah to sit on a lounge chair by the pool. The evening air was quite cool. In her heart, Sarah couldn't stop marveling at the decor and interior design of the large house.Troy, wearing only shorts and a fitted T-shirt, reclined on the long lounge chair. It seemed the chair was designed for him, given his above-average height.Sarah sat on the chair right next to Troy. The chairs were so close together that she felt a bit uncomfortable."Relax, darling. Lie down here!" Troy patted the chair Sarah was sitting on."I'll just sit," Sarah replied, shaking her head.Troy smiled. He understood that Sarah was refusing because she wasn't comfortable. One of the qualities Troy had always admired about Sarah was her ability to maintain her dignity, unlike many women he had known before. Even when he was in America, women would throw themselves at him.Troy then sat up, facing Sarah. He looked intently at the woman who had long been imprint
The day they had been eagerly waiting for was finally about to arrive. Tonight, Sarah moved both of her children, along with two nannies and a housekeeper, to the hotel where the wedding ceremony and reception would take place the next day.Troy wanted to ensure tight security for Sarah and her children leading up to the wedding ceremony. Having everyone stay in one hotel made Troy feel more at ease. Especially since Prince was still nursing, Troy didn't want Sarah to become overly tired, which could negatively impact Prince."Make sure Prince doesn't run out of milk. Even though he has started solids, our little champion needs to stay healthy!" Troy murmured, teasing Prince, who was nestled in Sarah's arms."Okay..." Sarah responded briefly.Troy glanced at Sarah. He noticed her beautiful face had been gloomy since they entered the spacious hotel room. Sarah had allowed Troy to enter because Gillian, the two nannies, and the housekeeper were also in the room.Troy, who had been s
