Chapter 425


    Finally, her wish was about toe true. ra’s heart felt like it was enveloped in honey, each


    throb sending out ripples of sweetness.


    Ian could no longer control his emotions. He dipped his head to capture the tender, sweet lips


    before him. His hand gently wove through her hair, cradling the back of her head, as he deepened


    the kiss with each passing moment.


    The couple, having weathered many storms and separations, hade back together atst. Their


    excitement was palpable and impossible to conceal.


    It was only after an eternity that Ian could bring himself to pull away. He peppered ra’s face with


    featherlight kisses, his voice husky with desire. “Honey,st night was so hectic. We missed our


    wedding night. Tonight, I’m going to make it up to you.”


    ra’s cheeks flushed as she stared at him. “Isn’t the wedding night supposed to be the day of the


    ceremony?”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “Getting our marriage license counts too. By the time we have the ceremony, it’ll be safer for you,


    and I can make love with you properly.”


    He emphasized a particr phrase, making ra’s cheeks burn even hotter. She pushed him away.


    Her eyes reddened with mock anger. “You’re being so cheeky. I could use you of harassment.”


    “Flirting with my own wife is just marital fun, not harassment. Attorney ra, have you forgotten all


    thews and regtions after a few days off?”


    Their yful banter was interrupted by a low chuckle from behind. ra instantly pushed Ian away


    and turned to see Greta standing in the doorway, arms crossed, a mischievous grin on her face.


    Greta clicked her tongue in amusement. “Tsk, tsk, tsk, can’t you two get a room for your public


    disys of affection? It’s broad daylight, you know.”


    Ian wrapped ra back into his embrace, unfazed. “It’s your own fault for being single. You can’t


    me us.”


    “Look at you, all smug. Is getting hitched really something to grin about until your smile reach your


    ears?”


    “Of course, it is. The joy between us is something you, perpetually single, would never understand.”


    “Alright, alright, I know my favorite brother is the happiest man in the world right now. No one can


    top you. I’m here to remind you that if you don’t go try on the wedding dress soon, the designer is


    going to close shop.”


    Ian smiled and ruffled ra’s hair, his gaze affectionate. “Mrs. Hayes, shall we go try on your


    wedding dress?”


    They drove to the bridal shop where the designer greeted them personally. “Mr. Hayes, Mrs. Hayes,


    the wedding dress is ready. I’ll have someone take her to try it on.”


    Ian nodded. “Please be careful with my wife. She’s pregnant.”


    “Of course, we will take good care of Mrs. Hayes.”


    Ian was eager to see ra in her wedding dress, imagining how stunning she would look. He


    whispered into her blushing face, “Mrs. Hayes, don’t be too breathtaking, or I might lose control.”


    With a huff and a blush, ra turned and entered the fitting room.


    As the minutes ticked by, Ian’s gaze never left the fitting room door. His anticipation was building.


    He couldn’t quite picture it, but he was sure it would be an ethereal beauty.


    Suddenly, his phone rang. Seeing Edwin’s number, he answered urgently.


    “Ian, where’s ra?” Edwin’s voice was anxious.


    Ian, sensing something amiss, replied quickly, “Trying on her wedding dress. What’s wrong?”


    “Heidi attempted suicide in jail and was abducted on the way to the hospital. I’m worried she’ll go


    after ra.”


    Chills ran down Ian’s spine. He stared at the fitting room door for a few seconds, then bolted toward


    it. When he kicked the door open, the sight that greeted him left him frozen in shock.
