"Julian Jude! You!"
It took her a long time to find her words, utterly defeated by his antics.
"Alright, alright," Julian said as he sat up, gently taking her hand. His eyes were filled with absolute sincerity.
"I know I've always been in your heart, and you should know that I've never stopped loving you. I promise I'll figure things out with my mother and make her change her ways completely. I won't let her affect us ever again."
Chloe looked at him. After a long pause, she finally sighed.
"I don't want to hear empty promises. I won't truly relax until I see actual results."
Julian nodded emphatically. "I promise! It will never happen again!"
The fact that they would reconcile was entirely within Lyra's expectations.
Because of that, she made sure not to bother them for a long while.
The weekend arrived.
Lyra woke up early to go shopping with Eleanor Lennox.
Since it was their first time formally meeting Cecilia Chambers, they naturally needed to be careful in selecting a gift to show their sincerity.
They spent a long time browsing before finally settling on two sets of jewelry.
Even if Miles Lennox and CeCe didn't end up together, building a connection with the Chambers family wouldn't be a bad thing for the Lennox family.
By the time they returned home, the chef had already prepared the meal, and everything was exquisitely arranged on the dining table.
CeCe and her parents arrived shortly after.
When Lyra saw CeCe, she paused for a moment, feeling a sense of familiarity but unable to place where they had met.
CeCe, on the other hand, beamed the moment she saw her and walked right over.
"Lyra, it's so nice to meet you."
She politely extended a hand, and Lyra immediately shook it.
"Nice to meet you, CeCe."
