Listening to her words, Lucas furrowed his brows. “But this way, you’ll feel wronged.”
After all, they were getting married for the second time.
He had wanted to give her a grand and romantic wedding, where everyone would witness their happiness and love.
Aveline, however, responded, “As long as I’m happy and I like it, that’s all that matters.”
Lucas pulled her into his arms, inhaling the faint scent that lingered on her. He tightened his embrace but was careful not to press against her belly, cautiously adjusting his strength.
“Alright, whatever you want.”
Aveline smiled softly and hugged him back.
What she didn’t expect was that while the wedding would be understated and elegant, the proposal turned out to be grand and extravagant.
It was a sunny morning.
Selena came by the Tudor family home, inviting her for a walk. The weather was warming up, making it the perfect time to go out and enjoy the fresh air. Throughout the drive, Selena was unusually excited.
Aveline looked at her, puzzled. “What’s going on with you?”
Selena drove carefully, smiling. “It’s been so long since we went shopping together. I’m just excited!”
Aveline raised a brow. “But we went out just last week.”
“That’s different.” Selena shook her head, growing even more nervous inside.
“How is it different?” Aveline asked, her suspicion rising.
“Trust me, it just is. Don’t ask me any more questions. I need to focus on driving.”
Oh.
Alright then.
Aveline didn’t show much emotion on her face, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Selena was acting strangely—very strangely.
They arrived at Moonlight Bay Forest Park, a place surrounded by lush trees and natural beauty. After parking, Selena linked arms with her and led her to a small sightseeing cart. The cart offered a clear view of the serene surroundings as they traveled.
After about ten minutes, the cart came to a stop.
A familiar voice suddenly rang out.
Aveline turned to see Maria approaching, with Sidney by her side.
Maria’s face was lit with her usual confident, radiant smile. She opened her arms wide as she came closer. "It’s been so long, Aveline!"
Aveline’s gaze grew a bit complicated, remembering the words she had said to Maria back then.
For some reason, she now felt a little embarrassed.
Still, she returned the hug.
Maria immediately joked, "Oh no, someone bumped into me! I might need to file a claim!"
Her eyes fell dramatically on Aveline’s slightly rounded belly.
Aveline burst out laughing. "It’s still too young to compensate you. You’ll have to seek out the compensation with the father.”
Maria nodded, turning straight to Lucas and extending her hand. "Your little one bumped into me—what are you going to do about it?"
