The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 264

"But this is the very first thing I've realized I desperately want to do."

Seeing the utter certainty in his eyes, Alaina found herself completely unable to say no.

"A grand, unforgettable wedding... Doesn't that mean I'm going to be exposed to the public?" she asked.

Silas smiled. "You have a stunning figure, so you won't need to diet. Plus, you're gorgeous. The cameras will love you."

Alaina laughed, unable to suppress an eye roll.

"Silas, you've never been someone who likes the spotlight," she said honestly. "In all these years, not a single media outlet has ever managed to score an interview with you. For you to suddenly want this... it's incredibly bizarre."

"It's not bizarre at all," Silas replied, his gaze unwavering in its absolute devotion. "It's simply because you deserve to be seen by the world."

"I want to proudly show everyone that you are my wife."

Alaina's eyelashes fluttered slightly. "And then what? Let the whole world know when we inevitably get a divorce?"

"We aren't getting divorced," Silas countered.

Alaina was rendered speechless.

Silas continued, "Between us, it's very clear now. The only way this ends is if one of us is widowed."

Alaina let out a quiet, exasperated laugh.

She never expected such a morbid statement to actually sound romantic coming from him.

"Forget the old contract." Silas cupped her face in his hands. "Marry me... for real this time, and let's accept everyone's blessings."

Tears shimmered in her eyes, though she stubbornly tried to keep up her tough exterior. "Well, you'll have to ask Stella if she agrees to be the flower girl, and Michelle if she wants to be a bridesmaid. And—you'll have to consider whether my dad will broadcast the news to the entire planet, and if that's going to bring you a ton of unnecessary headaches."

The corners of Silas's eyes crinkled in genuine warmth. "Don't worry. I've already thought it all through."

Alaina made one last attempt to stall. "I need more time to think about it. We can talk about it tomorrow morning."
