"Isn't it Bianca Whitlock?" I was surprised and blurted it out without thinking. "Isn't Leon engaged to the eldest daughter of The Whitlock Family?"
Bianca and Yara. The names were somewhat similar, but the last names were completely different. I heard it clearly—Julian said Yara Monroe, not Bianca Whitlock.
Besides, Bianca had been in Port Capital for the past few years; she hadn't gone abroad. Naturally, the person returning from overseas wasn't her.
Yara Monroe and Bianca Whitlock were two different people.
But Leon's fiancée was clearly Bianca. So who was this Yara?
"What? He's getting engaged to Bianca? This is turning into a total mess. No wonder the guy couldn't even bother to type a few extra words when he replied. His life must be on fire right now." Julian was equally stunned by my words before breaking into a mischievous smirk. "It's good for him to have a little chaos. It might finally force him to cut off that toxic ex."
The toxic ex Julian mentioned had to be the relationship between Leon and Yara.
I was a bit surprised, but then again, not entirely shocked.
However, Julian didn't dwell on the topic and raised his glass of juice. "Come on, a toast to our triumphant return!"
"Yes, to a fruitful trip," Grant, who had been quiet, raised his glass as well.
"Cheers. To our heroes!" I chimed in, lifting my own glass.
Dinner ended in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Afterward, Julian offered to drop Grant off first.
Perhaps because Julian was present, Grant didn't bring up Ferris again. He wasn't very talkative anyway, only chiming in occasionally.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride
Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
