“No“” Reba asked again, her brows furrowed in confusion.


    Lynn also looked perplexed as she replied, “Yeah, I can’t see it either.”


    A mysterious smile yed on Charlie’s lips as he suddenly produced a magnifying ss and handed it to Reba. “Take a look at this,” he suggested.


    Reba was taken aback but epted the magnifying ss anyway.


    Could it really be so precise that she needed a magnifying ss to see it?


    “Quick! Take a look,” Courtney urged, unable to contain her curiosity.


    Reba carefully scanned the earrings with the magnifying ss and finally spotted her name engraved at the


    very bottom.


    It was true!


    “It is engraved with such precision,” Lynn marveled in amazement.


    What was even more impressive was that despite the precise engraving, there was no visible w on the outside. The engraved area seemed to meld with the earring’s design seamlessly.


    “Put it on for the ribbon–cutting ceremony we’ll be going togetherter,” Charlie coaxed with a smile.


    Reba snapped back to reality andplied with Charlie’s suggestion. Meanwhile, Lynn took the magnifying ss from Reba’s hand and watched as Reba put on the earrings and bracelet again.


    “What about you?” Courtney inquired, directing her gaze at Charlie.


    Charlie chuckled and settled onto a stool, stating, “You’re still as <b>sharp </b>as ever, Courtney.”


    Reba couldn’t help but chuckle; Charlie was forever the life of the


    party.


    When it came to makeup, guys had it easy. Courtney only needed half an hour to work her magic on Charlie before


    she <b>was </b>done.


    “Okay, let’s all go to the store together,” Charlie dered cheerfully, pping his hands with excitement.


    “Charlie,” <b>Lynn </b>interjected anxiously, “You…are youing too?”


    Charlie raised an eyebrow, turning to look at Lynn before shing a smile at Reba. “Of course!

    “It’s Becky’s first endorsement gig: I’ve got to be there to watch her back!” Charlie asserted confidently.


    Watching Charlie, Reba couldn’t help but feel theforting presence beneath his lively, boyish exterior.


    “Do you have the invitation?” Lynn asked curiously.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Charlie chuckled, “Of course I do! Getting it is a piece of cakel”


    With that, Charlie pulled out a red invitation card from his pocket.


    04701


    Lynn examined the invitation and confirmed its authenticity, her gaze flickering between Charlie and Reba.


    “There’s something I’m not sure if I should ask.” Lynn tentatively began.


    “Becky and I aren’t dating. We don’t have romantic feelings for each other, and we will never be together in our lives. Is that answer satisfactory for you?” Charlie exined.


    Lynn chuckled, exining, “It’s just a professional inquiry.”


    “I understand,” Charlie nodded.


    Lynn simply suspected that Charlie was treating Reba well because they were dating.


    Charlie looked at Reba, affectionately ruffling her hair, and said with a smile, “Lynn, I think of Becky as my little sister, and I just want to protect her well for the rest of my life!


    Lynn froze because the phrase “rest of my life” slipped from Charlie’s mouth naturally. Though simple, it carried a profound weight that would span a lifetime.


    “Okay,” Lynn nodded in agreement after some thought.


    Inside J’s dressing room at Evergrande Entertainment.


    Today, it was the ribbon–cutting ceremony for Carter’s Jewel branch opening, followed by the much–anticipated grand opening banquet.


    J slipped into her meticulously prepared ck gown and adorned her neck with thetest gold ne from Carter’s Jewel, which she had bought at the Hivalis store a couple of days ago. While gazing at herself in the mirror for a while, she marveled at her beauty.


    The ne around her neck was particrly stunning, making J stare at her reflection, repeatedlyparing her makeup and the ne to see if they matched.

    J, that ne from the Carter family suits you perfectly, Lisa praised from the side.


    J chuckled and replied as she sat down, “That’s for sure.


    “When does the banquet start?” J inquired again.


    ncing at the time, Lisa replied, “It’s still an hour away. We’ll wait a bit longer before heading out.”


    J nodded slightly. “Sure.”

    J nced over at Mary and Arthur standing nearby. She had recently given birth and was allowed to bring her son to work by thepany, so usually, Mary would take care of Arthur while J was busy with work.


    Mary became a bit nervous when she saw J approaching.


    Sitting down beside them, J picked up one of Arthur’s toys and yed with him.


    While absent–mindedly watching Arthur’s face, J’s mind wandered off, hoping to find his features resembling either hers or Theodore’s on the child’s face.


    Knowing Arthur was hers and Theodore’s son made her heart swell with anticipation for the future.


    But after she stared at him for a while, her brows furrowed gradually. Why did it feel like… Arthur didn’t have any features that resembled Theodore’s?


    They said sons took after their mothers, while daughters took after their fathers. Could it be that because Arthur was a boy, so he resembled J more than Theodore?


    J pondered for a moment before she rxed. Perhaps it was normal for her son not to resemble Theodore so much?


    Carter’s Jewel was adorned withrge banners from inside out, while arge group of staff dressed in suits celebrated the asion joyfully.


    At the entrance of the jewelry store, two rows of flowers lined the path, and a red carpet covered the ground. Many citizens gathered around, wearing smiles as they curiously observed the ribbon–cutting ceremony.


    When Reba and Charlie’s car arrived, it was actually still early, but the ce was already bustling with an


    excited crowd.


    As Charlie stepped out of the car, many passersby recognized him and eximed, “Is that Charlie?”

    Passersby were initially shocked, but soon their expressions turned to excitement. This was especially true for


    Charlie’s fans, who quickly realized the situation and hurried over.


    Thankfully, the Carter family had already arranged for security guards to intercept these emotionally charged fans, preventing any chaos.


    Charlie also noticed his fans and turned to greet them with a happy wave as they approached.


    Some fans who had seen Reba with Charlie on a variety show quickly recognized her and eximed in delight, “That’s Becky, right?”


    “Is it Becky?”


    “I’m going crazy! Charlie and Becky are still together, and they’re even attending events together!”


    The fans shouted excitedly, hastily taking out their phones to take pictures of them.


    Reba nced sideways at Charlie, then followed his lead, raising her hand and greeting everyone graciously, “Hello, everyone, I’m Becky.”


    Hearing Reba’s greeting, the fans who were eagerly taking photos became even more excited, shouting, “Becky is talking to us! Her voice sounds even nicer than during the livestreams!”
