The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 107

Alaina frowned, glancing at the polished plaques on the altar. Sure enough, most of them featured married couples etched side by side.

"Thanks for the offer," she said, flashing a sarcastic, tight-lipped smile. "But I plan on living a very long time."

As she lit the fresh candles, she added casually, "So don't you worry your pretty head about me. Who knows? Maybe I'll get married a third time or have a kid."

Silas's gaze darkened significantly at her words.

Amidst the flickering candlelight, their silhouettes standing shoulder-to-shoulder looked remarkably solemn and united.

...

As night fell.

The Summers Country Estate, situated not far from the memorial site, was ablaze with brilliant lights.

In stark contrast to the somber atmosphere of the cemetery, the estate radiated warmth. Crystal chandeliers fractured the light, illuminating the grand hall as brightly as day.

A lavish private banquet to conclude the memorial day and entertain close friends and family was officially underway.

Alaina had changed into an evening gown, her hair and makeup flawlessly executed by a styling team.

Her long hair was pinned back into an elegant, voluminous updo.

Her moonlight-white gown shimmered under the chandeliers as if kissed by the stars, accentuating her radiant complexion and sophisticated aura.

Looping her arm through Silas's, she glided slowly toward the banquet hall.

Out of the corner of his eye, Silas noticed the faint blush on the tips of her ears. A subtle smile flickered in his eyes before he quickly concealed it. Deliberately slowing his pace, he murmured, "I'm right here."

As they made their entrance together, every eye in the room turned in their direction.

The grave scrutiny of the memorial service was gone, replaced by undeniable approval and sheer envy.

Alaina took a deep breath, rallying her poise as she matched Silas's stride, fully prepared to greet the guests.
