Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 621

She bit her lower lip, a delicate blush spreading across her cheeks as she confessed her fears. "It's like they say, meeting the in-laws for the first time is always terrifying. I just desperately want them to like me. I don't want to mess this up."

Silas chuckled, the sound deep and rich. He pressed a tender kiss to the corner of her mouth, his eyes overflowing with adoration. "You're being ridiculous. You are stunning, brilliant, and the kindest woman I know. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

"You don't need to try so hard, and you definitely don't need to stress. Just be yourself. I'll take care of the rest."

His words were a heavy anchor, grounding her spiraling thoughts.

Leaning against his chest, listening to the strong, steady rhythm of his heartbeat, Willow felt her panic melt away. As long as he was by her side, she felt invincible.

The very next day, the Thorne family arrived.

Silas had initially scheduled the flight for later in the week, but the family was too thrilled to wait. If they hadn't needed a day to assemble an extravagant array of betrothal gifts, Jocelyn would have dragged the entire family to New York the moment she heard the news.

The following afternoon, the weather over the private runway in New York was crisp and clear.

Willow and Silas waited by the tarmac. Soon, The Gulfstream G650ER touched down smoothly.

The cabin doors opened, and Jocelyn Thorne stepped out first. Dressed in a flawless, elegant silk suit, she exuded the grace of a matriarch, but her eyes were shining with unfiltered joy. The second she spotted Willow, she practically sprinted down the stairs.

Before Willow could even offer a formal greeting, Jocelyn grabbed both of her hands, squeezing them tightly. "My sweet girl! I knew you and Silas were meant to be. I've been waiting for this day for so long! Hearing that you two finally figured it out and got engaged... you have no idea how happy this makes me!"

By the end of her sentence, Jocelyn’s eyes were glistening with tears. Willow froze, utterly overwhelmed by the raw emotion.
