A look of grievance appeared on Ian's face as he turned around. He observed his mother giving him a sideways glance while she was speaking.“Okay, take care. You can count on me to accompany you tomorrow,” Carolina said to Angela and hung up the call.The conversation that Ian's mother was having puzzled him. In the belief that he was misinterpreting something, he approached her."When did you come?" Carolina inquired with a grin on her face.He frowned at her. "When you were talking on the phone. By the way, why do you look so happy today?"A look of surprise appeared on her face. “Why are you speaking like this? Are you not happy?"The question that she asked caught Ian off guard. "Do I need to be happy? What's the matter, Mom? I overheard you discussing marriage with Ava's mother.”His mother nodded her head and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I am thrilled that Ava and Stephen are mature enough to accept the proposal.""Proposal?" Ian asked while narrowing his eyes in concentrat

Ava's POVIt had been two days since we had dinner with Stephen and his father. I really liked Uncle Harper. He was a kind and gentle man. In particular, he was kind and considerate toward my mother. It was the first time that I witnessed my mother appearing to be content with another person. I was very glad for her.I got up a little bit later than usual today. Last night, my mother went shopping with Luna Carolina. So when she got back to her house, she showed me all of the dresses, including the one she said she would wear to her wedding. After that, we engaged in a conversation for a span of time. I failed to keep track of time and ended up sleeping in the morning.It was my mother's suggestion that I should remain at home today if I was feeling sleepy. I refused and decided to go to my university.When it came to my studies, I could not make any concessions. Perhaps that was the reason why people perceived me as a nerd.Was I really a bookworm? These books were not even novels; r

Ian narrowed his eyes while looking at me. It was clear from the look on his face that he did not like the way I had just spoken to him.I should not stay here any longer. I attempted to leave by turning my body to the left, but a hand stopped me from doing so.Ian placed his hand beside my head on the bookshelf to stop me from leaving, and he moved closer to me.I stopped, but did not turn my body toward him. I felt his breath in my left ear. I clenched my dress to control my disloyal heart, which was beating for this man.Everything he had done to me came back to mind.“I see what you are thinking,” he whispered in my ear.I felt a chill run down my spine as I listened to his whisper. I tried my best not to react in any way.After taking a few deep breaths, I quickly regained my composure. Once more, he uttered a hushed whisper."Do not think yourself superior just because I felt guilty for an incident and said sorry."Upon hearing him, I was unable to suppress the urge to sneer at

After leaving the library, I made my way to the cafeteria in order to meet up with my friends.While heading there, I saw boys glancing at me. I tried my best to avoid their gazes. Why did they not just focus on their own business?I entered the cafe and noticed my friends sitting at a table. I smiled at them while striding toward them."Hey!""Ava, where were you?" Luke asked while sipping on his coffee.I sat down on a chair next to Abigail. She moved a cup of coffee toward me, indicating that it was for me."I was in the library," I replied to Luke."How is everything going at home?" Abigail asked me."Very good. Mom bought a wedding dress for her last night.""Wow! Show us the picture of the wedding dress," Debra said with excitement in her voice.I unlocked my phone and showed them the picture of my mother's bridal gown. They said it was a really beautiful dress."Will we not get the invitation?" Luke asked as he rested his chin on his palm."Of course we will. I can't wait to se

Ava spent the whole week planning everything for her mother's wedding.She made a promise to her friends that she would purchase her dress with them together, so today she went shopping with them. In fact, they would also buy dresses for themselves."I can't believe tomorrow is my mom's wedding. It's like a dream," Ava said to her friends.She had just gotten into the car after Luke arrived with his car to pick her up from her house. Abigail and Debra were in the car as well."I want to scream with joy. We will have fun tomorrow," Abigail screamed in a happy tone.Ava chuckled at her and turned her head toward the backseat since Abigail and Debra were both sitting in the backseat, and she was sitting in the passenger seat beside Luke, who was driving the car."Hope we will," she muttered."Babe, please stop acting like a nerd and try to buy a sexy dress for you," Debra said, wiggling her brows with a smirk.Abigail hit her head lightly and said,"It's her mother's wedding, not a bache
