Sebastian pressed his lips into a thin line, his jaw clenched tight, a clear sign that he was struggling to keep his temper in check.

In a low, gravelly voice, he said, “Then I’ll go speak to them myself tomorrow.”

Seeing that he was on the verge of burning bridges, Riley quickly intervened.

“What exactly does this so-called trial usually involve?

“Honestly, I’m okay with it. If it’s just a formality to put the elders’ minds at ease, I’m not totally against the idea.”

“No way.”

Before Riley could even finish her sentence, Sebastian cut her off sharply.

“As long as I’m around, you don’t need to consider putting yourself through that kind of ordeal.”

Miranda looked at the couple, shook her head slowly, and admitted with equal confusion, “To be honest, I don’t know the specifics either. When I married into the Torres family, I never heard of anything like this. That rule has probably been dormant for decades.”

Realizing this, Miranda and Wayne took the hint.

They had only come tonight to deliver the message.

Once their son made up his mind, they knew better than to interfere.

“Alright,” Miranda said as she stood up, offering one last piece of advice. “When you talk to Sander and the others tomorrow, choose your words carefully. Don’t be too harsh. After all, the day after tomorrow is Sander’s centennial celebration. Causing a scene wouldn’t be good for anyone.”

Sebastian gave a low, noncommittal hum in response. “Yeah, I’ll try.”

After seeing his parents out, Riley looked at the man beside her, whose handsome profile still carried a lingering shadow of anger, and suddenly found it amusing.

She reached out and gently poked his tense arm, a mischievous grin curling the corner of her mouth as she teased him on purpose, “What’s wrong, Mr. Torres? Already feeling upset that I might have a rough time with them?”

A wave of gentle calm washed over Sebastian.

He lowered his eyes to look at the fingers still playfully prodding his arm.

In reality, Riley knew perfectly well that if the old guard in the Torres family really wanted to make things difficult for her, there were endless ways to do so.

Not to mention, her past history with Lucas alone-once the topic of adding her name to the registry came up, someone was bound to dig it up and use it as ammunition against her.

He immediately understood what she meant and said, almost without thinking, “Then let’s have a wedding.”

He lowered his head, his intense gaze locking onto hers as he enunciated each word deliberately, “A wedding… grand enough to capture the whole world’s attention. I want everyone to know that you, Riley, are the only wife I will ever have in this lifetime.”

Riley looked up in surprise, completely stunned.
