First, there was the matter with Alaric, and now Violeta had discovered something about Ava.
Evelina, it seems that every turning point in your life comes with a sacrifice.
Is it just a coincidence?
Violeta let out a knowing smile.
The last thing she believed was coincidence.
The next day, she followed her usual schedule.
Hayden messaged her, letting her know he had already arranged for someone to help him move.
Violeta responded, "Got it, Hade. From now on, you'll be in charge of keeping the bed warm."
Hayden replied slowly, "As long as you cooperate, we won't need to warm the bed to stay cozy."
Violeta was in the car when she received his message, and she almost spat out the water she was drinking.
Who would've thought that the usually serious Hayden could be this witty?
Violeta had noticed that the last time they kissed, his ears had turned red.
In her previous life, Violeta hadn't experienced love or its intoxicating sweetness.
In this life, she found herself enjoying the thrill of making someone as reserved as Hayden blush.
It felt a little awkward, but also kind of exhilarating.
Aside from that, they had already met each other's parents. Hayden was her man now, so why hold back?
Violeta chuckled to herself.
Sitting next to her, Aster wiped the water off her face.
Then she saw Violeta staring at the screen with a mischievous smile. Nervously, she asked, "Ms. White? Are you okay? Why are you suddenly smiling like that?"
"Aster, there are things you just wouldn't understand," Violeta replied, putting away her phone.
Aster finished wiping her face and asked, "Is it good news?"
Violeta nodded and said, "Indeed, it is. My brother is getting married."
Aster's eyes widened in surprise and delight. "Oh! Really?"
Niall had recently met with Elaine's parents, and the families had been discussing the wedding. Irene had been busy selecting an auspicious date to plan their wedding.
