    Chapter 1896


    Having settled the matter of his proposal at the end of their wedding, Byran scampered off gleefully to


    make his ns.


    Ellinor, watching her half-brother disappear into the distance, nudged the man beside her with her


    elbow. “Theo, did you hear that? The guy is preparing a diamond the size of a pigeon’s egg for his


    proposal! What did you prepare for me?”


    Lowering his gaze to his beloved, Theo replied, “Why don’t you check your assets?”


    Ellinor, who wasn’t particrly fond of diamonds, was only teasing him. She hadn’t expected he’d


    actually prepared something!


    So, she immediately checked her assets and found that that very morning, she’d be the owner of


    thergest diamond mine on Zahariya teau!


    Ellinor half-smirked, “Theo, you…”


    With a loving scratch to her cheek, Theo replied, “I know you don’t like wearing such things, so I


    thought you could have a mine instead. You could dig around for fun? I bought it for you as a wedding


    gift with my own money. Besides that, I’m broke. Didn’t I give it all to you?”


    Ellinor pouted, “Wait, you had a secret stash of money?”


    “Well..not anymore!”


    On the wedding day, all of Greenhaven was buzzing. The nchet family’s Theo was marrying a


    lesser-known Miss. The two pledged their eternal love before the pastor, vowing to never part till death.


    The entire nation’s business and social elites attended the wedding to offer their blessings.


    What the guests didn’t expect was the surprise at the end of the ceremony: the young heir of the


    Howard family, Byran, proposed to the President of the Crescent Society, Ida.


    Ida wished she could sink into the ground – no, she wished she could shove Byran into the ground!


    Amid the apuse and well-wishes from the audience, Ida, albeit reluctantly, epted Byran’s


    proposal and put on the massive diamond ring he knelt to present, quickly pulling him off the stage.


    She did love Byran, but she didn’t appreciate such a public disy of affection. The excessive attention


    made her ufortable.

    That boy was too much!


    Moreover, proposing to her at her boss’s wedding? He knew she wouldn’t embarrass her boss and


    would have to ept!


    Sly, cunning little boy! He’d definitely be craftier, not at all like the innocent boy who used to be


    easy to tease!


    Off the stage, Byran cheerfully followed Ida to a quieter spot. He hugged his future bride like a dog that


    had received the best gift in the world. “Ida, it’s great! You finally agreed to marry me!”


    Ida was about to retort, “You…umm…”


    Before she could even get the words out, she was smothered with an intense kiss.


    After what felt like an eternity, the kiss ended.


    Byran, still not sated, whispered, “Ida, my sister and Theo will go on their honeymoon with the kids,


    touring the world. Let’s join them, shall we?” Ida, still gasping for breath and feeling a bit suffocated


    from the kiss, retorted with a flushed face. “Haven’t you yed the third wheel enough? I’m not going. I


    don’t have the time!”


    Byran whined, hugging her tighter. “Even without us, there’s nock of third wheels between my sister


    and Theo! Those four kids are even more attention-grabbing than us! If we go, we can help take care of


    the kids! Let’s go! You can leave thepany to Chase. You guys are close. You’re not afraid he’s


    going to usurp your position, are you?”


    “No…umm…”


    Before she could even finish her sentence, Byran was at it again, leaving no room for argument.
