During this period, Teagan hadn't called her once. Nora refused to take the initiative and apologize. She planned to wait for Teagan to come and appease her before giving him a way out.
Malaya immediately scolded her, questioning her intelligence. "Who do you think you are? And what power does the Lawrence family hold? Does Mr. Parry, a handsome and wealthy man like him, lack women? Are you cold-shouldering him at a time like this? Aren't you just digging your own grave? What if Mr. Parry turns his attention to someone else? Where will you cry then?"
Nora listened to her mother's words and felt a tinge of panic creeping into her heart. Ever since she had been with Teagan, he had gradually cut off contact with other women. She was still reveling in the achievement of taming a playboy like him. But her mother's words served as a wake-up call, jolting her out of her complacency.
As long as they hadn't got married, it was still possible that Teagan would be stolen by other women.
"What should I do now?" she asked.
Malaya crossed her arms and huffed coldly. "What are you standing there foolishly for? Hurry up and call Mr. Parry to make amends. Men are the same. As long as you know how to be coquettish and give them a little sweetness, they will obediently listen to you."
In the past, she had captivated George with such tactics.
Nora hesitated for a second, feeling anxious under her mother's watchful gaze. She took out her phone and dialed Teagan's number.
The phone rang for a while, but no one answered. Mother and daughter exchanged a glance. Malaya shifted her position, sitting on the couch with one leg crossed, supporting her cheek with her hand, deep in thought.
They reluctantly ended the call. Nora replied softly, "He might be... in a meeting."
As the reason left her lips, even Teagan himself would find it hard to believe.
"Why don't you try calling his assistant?"
Nora dialed Teagan's secretary's number.
...
As the focus returned to Cheyenne, each scene before her eyes felt like an illusion, as if a prince were confessing his love to a princess. But such romantic scenarios were never meant for her and him.
The past wounds had been inflicted, and while time might fade the scars, the searing pain could never be forgotten.
She had exerted all her strength to choose forgiveness.
But if she were expected to act as if nothing had ever happened and return to how things were, she couldn't do it.
In the years, she had exchanged her genuine heart for lessons learned through bloodshed.
In countless nights, she had grown unafraid of loneliness. Even her laughter had become somewhat muted compared to before.
So, even if he presented a city full of roses before her, she couldn't accept them.
Kelvin's anxiety grew as Cheyenne hesitated to accept the ring. Especially with a love rival standing beside him, eager to seize the opportunity, the pressure intensified, prompting him to muster all his courage.
"Cheyenne, I know that I have let you down and hurt you deeply."
"Every time I feel lonely and defeated, I can't help but think of you, but I also arrogantly believe it's not a big deal."
"It wasn't until I lost you that I realized you are someone I can't live without. Without you, my life lacks joy."
This heartfelt confession silenced everyone, and some women burst into tears right on the spot.
Oh my goodness!
