She had always been perceptive. It didn’t take her long to realize something had changed between us. Her gaze dimmed involuntarily, and she couldn’t stop herself from feeling envious,

Grace didn’t understand. No matter how hard she tried, she couldnt fathom how life could be so unfair. After all the hardships she had endured, she still hadn’t gotten even the tiniest sliver of genuine affection.

Yet, without needing to do a thing, I had.

Before, I had Irvin, who had gone white–haired overnight because he believed he had been unchaste toward me. He loved me as though his life depended on it. Now, I had William–the elite circle’s most sought–after man–humbling himself just for me.

Why? Why was it always me?

Grace just couldn’t figure out why I kept getting what she wanted most. And the more she couldn’t make sense of this, the more uncontrollably mad she became.

She knew it wasn’t right of her to feel this way, nor should she.

However, jealousy was the hardest emotion to control. It was also the emotion that was most likely to make people do things they shouldn’t.

People couldn’t help being jealous of the success of those around them, especially when the successful ones were either equal to

or inferior to them.

Hence, despite knowing it was pointless and detrimental for her to be envious of me, Grace couldn’t help herself.

That was why she suddenly turned to William and asked, “Mr. Ashford, are you and Ms. Quill…”

William smiled devilishly and pulled me closer. “She’s my fiancée recently proposed, and she said yes. Our engagement party will take place at the end of this month. I hope you and Mr. Hardwell can attend the celebration.”

Both Irvin and Grace were stunned by his words. Their expressions morphed into something indescribable, especially Irvin’s.

In all the years I had known him, I had never seen him make such an expression. I couldn’t even begin to put it into words, so I simply didn’t look his way again.

No matter how beautiful our memories had been, the past was still the past. We should look toward the future.

As for Grace, she looked as though she couldn’t believe what she had heard.

Everyone in this social circle knew William had no interest in marriage. And because he had sworn off marriage and children, everyone had assumed Noah would be the heir to the Ashford family.

And now, what did William just say? He had proposed to me, and I had accepted it?

‘Wasn’t I the woman his nephew, Noah, liked? How could William suddenly have feelings for me and even successfully propose?

Grace wasn’t the only one who couldn’t believe her ears–all the banquet guests couldn’t, either. Like she had said, everyone knew William was a staunch bachelor.

Even the president’s daughter had once proposed to him, but he had turned her down. And now, not only was William engaged, but he had been the one who proposed?

All eyes in the room instantly turned to me.

had attended my fair share of lavish events. Even so, I couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable when so many people were suddenly staring at me.

Sensing my discomfort, William turned toward the crowd and smiled. “Don’t stare at my fiancée like that. She gets shy.”
