Landon's casual compliment immediately wiped away any unease Terry felt.
Landon was right. Yelena was taking such good care of Terry, and he was lucky to have her.
After a brief moment of self-affirmation, Terry suddenly felt a little lost. "That's right, being with Yelena is my good fortune."
Yelena lowered her head, looking shy, but her gaze never left Kieran.
"Terry just loves to say things like that."
Landon sensed something was off and nudged Kieran with his shoulder again. "Kieran, you and Lila are about to get your marriage license.
"Don't waste any time here. Hurry up and check everything—make sure all the documents are ready.
"I've heard of people who've never been married before, and when they went to get their license, they forgot some documents and couldn't get it done.
"You two have planned everything so carefully—don't let something like that mess up this important day."
Yelena looked surprised. "Are you two getting your marriage license already?"
Terry slapped his forehead. "Almost forgot about that! You two should hurry back and double-check. That's the real priority."
Lila nodded slightly. It was indeed time to leave.
She gently tugged on Kieran's sleeve. "Shall we go back now?"
Kieran's expression softened as he focused on her. "Alright."
He took her hand, waiting for her to say goodbye to Terry and the others.
Yelena watched the harmonious atmosphere between the two, her gaze shifting. After everyone had left, her eyes lingered on the door.
Terry noticed her spacing out and called her name twice, snapping her back.
She immediately put on a soft, gentle smile. She leaned against the bed, holding his hand and playfully shaking it. "Who exactly is your friend? Why do they seem so mysterious?"
Terry didn't want to discuss the topic for some reason, so he responded vaguely.
"I'm actually more familiar with Ms. Hart. I've met her fiance a few times, but we haven't really talked much, so I don't know him well."
That wasn't a lie, after all.
Yelena tried asking again, but Terry steered the conversation elsewhere.
