The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 815

Desperate to shatter the awkward tension, I turned back to Bianca. "When did you guys get engaged? I hadn't heard a thing about it."

I then shot Leon a look. "You kept that quiet, Dr. Lennox. Not telling Ferris and me about such happy news? Do you not consider us friends?"

"No, of course not, Dr. Hayes. Please don't misunderstand," Leon rushed to explain.

Ultimately, it was Bianca who provided the real answer. "Don't blame Leon, Dr. Hayes! It's not that he didn't want to tell you. We didn't throw a big party or make a public announcement. It was just an intimate dinner between our families. Plus..."

She paused, an impish grin spreading across her face. "Plus, there was no way Leon could have told you in advance, because he didn't even know it was happening! He only found out when he showed up at the restaurant. I totally tricked him into going."

So there was a plot twist.

Leon had actually been tricked into his own engagement.

But I quickly realized that while he might have been tricked into showing up, given Leon's stubborn personality, he never would have agreed if he didn't genuinely want to, no matter how hard Bianca pushed.

This was perfect. Two people who loved each other were finally together.

I smiled and nodded, offering my congratulations. "Well then, we'll celebrate properly at the wedding. Just make sure you give us plenty of notice."

"Ms. Hayes, aren't you and Ferris having a wedding soon too? I heard Mrs. Sterling call my mom about it. She even hired Master Hawthorne to pick an auspicious date! I wonder whose wedding we'll be attending first," Bianca asked with a beaming smile.

Her question caught me entirely off guard.

I actually had no idea when our wedding was supposed to happen.
