This was a lowkey yet luxurious banquet wedding.

There were no reporters and media. Security was tight outside the banquet hall, with multiple checkpoints verifying guests' identification information.

The invited guests were either wealthy or influential, but they were mostly officials.

After entering the banquet hall, Phoebe and Cole remained close to Mila's side.

As the wealthiest man in the country, Zach's presence drew attention from both business and political circles, attracting many who sought to curry favor with him.

He was surrounded on all sides. Amid a chorus of flattery and ingratiating remarks, he obligingly engaged with each one in turn.

Mila walked around the lively crowd but didn't see Nathan, so she walked toward the adjacent VIP seat and sat down.

Phoebe brought over a cup of fruit tea for her. She then sat in the chair beside her while Cole sat next to Phoebe.

"Why don't you go look for General Morrison?" Phoebe asked Cole.

Cole smiled as he lowered his hea

    "They might play Truth or Dare, or play a game of passing the floral wreath… Wow, I'm really excited. It's making me not even want to watch the bride and groom interact. I just want to skip ahead to the best man's part."Feeling down, Mila slowly stood up and left her seat.She couldn't bear to listen any longer. If she did, she would probably feel extremely uncomfortable.She wasn't very familiar with the Norvanian's customs. She believed registering for marriage had already made it a formal marital relationship.Little did she know, registering for marriage was just like getting engaged, providing a guarantee that neither party would easily back out.While the law recognized the registration, the people only acknowledged it after the wedding ceremony.She and Nathan didn't have a wedding, so in everyone's eyes, he wasn't married.In everyone's view, the best man and maid of honor must be single. They were expected to participate in many flirtatious interactive games to liven u

    Mila had barely walked a few steps when Yale suddenly grabbed her arm. Stopped in her tracks, she turned back to look at his hand with a frown. She then looked into his eyes.They exchanged glances, but he didn't let go. Mila's expression turned gloomy. "Mr. Xander, whatever it is, please let go of my hand first. Don't hold my hand like this."Not only did Yale not release her hand, but he also held on tighter. He slowly walked up to her and asked softly, "Ms. Hoffis, can we be friends?""I'm sorry, we can't."Yale smiled bitterly, and a sense of loneliness exuded from him. He continued, "If you were friends with me, you'd find me very helpful.""How so?" Mila countered.Yale responded, "Well, I'm the next President candidate."Mila forced a smile as she didn't want to offend him. She politely replied, "I hope you achieve your wish to become the next President. But I don't think we can be friends."Just as Mila was about to push his hand away, a shout came from nearby.

    Mila stomped her foot as she turned her back to Fenna.Fenna boasted, "Nate is going to be paired up with me."Mila scoffed. He was just the best man at a wedding. What was there to boast about? What was there to be happy about?Fenna continued, "In Norvania, there are no married men willing to be the best man, not even men with girlfriends. You can imagine how little you mean to him."Mila's heart ached, but she still maintained her smile. She turned to face Fenna and calmly said, "He has his reason if he wants to be the best man. He's my husband, and I respect his choices."As for you, don't delude yourself. He won't do anything with you."Fenna sneered. "You're just deceiving yourself. I've seen the wedding itinerary. We'll be having an absolute ball during the wedding entertainment part. You just wait to be embarrassed."Mila had no certainty, but she still chose to believe in Nathan. He wouldn't make the same mistake again.She smiled gently and said, "Okay. I'll be watchi

    Mila was already anxious. She felt nervous and uneasy in the bustling crowd where all eyes were on her.People were drinking, enjoying delicious food, and watching the interactions on stage, making the atmosphere lively.But hardly anyone in the crowd knew Nathan and Mila were husband and wife.Zach and Donald were excited as they smiled.Albert was quite good at his job."Now, it's time for some games. Let's invite two pairs of married couples on stage. It's okay if it's just a normal couple."Phoebe immediately pulled Cole along to raise their hands. Cole was surprised and flattered.Albert pointed at Phoebe and Cole, saying, "Let's welcome the enthusiastic couple who raised their hands."Phoebe was very outgoing. She happily dragged Cole to the stage.Blushing, Cole felt embarrassed.As soon as they got on stage, Phoebe told Albert, "We're not a married couple. We're dating."Albert liked her cheerful attitude. He laughed as he continued, "Alright, even better. Let me fin

    Phoebe and Cole were already sure of their victory.The married couple was still struggling.Mila nervously asked, "What's the punishment?"Albert replied, "For the couple in the last place, they have to kiss."Mila panicked. She had to kiss Nathan in front of so many people?It was unacceptable!Wanting to try again, she quickly placed her hands on Nathan's neck."Hurry, let me try. I can do it."How was this a punishment? It was clearly a reward.Nathan shook his head and said seriously, "I give up. I'll accept the punishment."Mila frowned as she puffed her cheeks. She shyly said, "Don't, there are so many people here."Nathan leaned close to her. His intense gaze was fixed on her, and he said, "You have to get used to it. So you won't be nervous at our wedding in the future."Mila pretended to be angry as she murmured, "When did I promise to hold a wedding ceremony with you?"Nathan was stunned. He was a bit nervous as he responded, "You're already my wife. If I wasn't

    "Everyone else, please step back," Albert said.What kind of messed-up order was this?Cole and Phoebe accompanied Mila off the stage.Then, the music started. Yale went up from one end of the corridor while Fenna walked up to the stage. There was no sense of ritual at all.Lillian was furious as she watched the chaotic entrance ceremony on the stage. She was embarrassed. She didn't know whether to start over or wait on stage.Ever since she stepped onto the stage and scolded Albert, her wedding had turned into a joke.With a forced smile, Yale walked onto the stage. He took Lillian's hand and comforted her, "Lillian, it's okay. As long as we're together, it doesn't matter who's the best man or maid of honor."The wedding is not important either. What's more important is you." Hearing his words, Lillian calmed down. She finally smiled.Nathan stood behind the groom, while Fenna stood behind the bride.Fenna was still expecting some other interaction with Nathan, but Albert

    This was the most annoying maid of honor in Norvania's history, without a doubt.Nathan couldn't wait to step off the stage. Instead of returning to his seat, he left the banquet hall alone. No one knew where he was going or why he left in such a hurry.Just as everyone was curious, the wedding resumed its original order.The wedding reception followed. The bride and groom shared their love story, cutting the cake and making toast.Yale absentmindedly stared at the white handkerchief in his hand. He took off his ring and removed the needle then tossed it to the ground.He stared at the white handkerchief with a sinister look on his face. After a while, he finally returned to his senses and began to feel nervous. He took out his phone and urgently dialed a number while walking backstage."Yale, where are you going?" Lillian asked.

    Mila entered Cole's car and arrived at the scene of the accident, located on the overpass just over ten minutes away from the wedding venue.Below them flowed a river, its depths concealed from view.The recovery vessel had already hoisted the car from the water. Meanwhile, the divers continued their search for Nathan beneath the surface.Traffic police were busy with their duties, questioning witnesses and examining surveillance footage.Mila stood silently beside the railing, clutching it tightly, her hands sweaty. The pain in her heart dulled her senses, leaving her feeling hollow.It felt as if she had forgotten the very rhythm of her breath, as though time itself had halted in its tracks.Amidst the eerie silence, with no signs of life in sight, her mind echoed with emptiness, her legs quivering and feeble, sustained solely by sheer determination.Despite the turmoil in her heart and the tears welling in her eyes, Mila resisted the urge to cry.As long as Nathan's body had

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything.

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
