Chapter 463


    ra chuckled, her nose twitching as she tried to sniff out the truth. "Really? My hubby''s kisses are


    sweet as pie, not a hint of funk. Besides, the smooch we shared when we parted ways yesterday


    should''ve worn off by now."


    Sasha stomped her foot in mock frustration. "Ugh, Ian, you bastard! Give me back my innocent,


    sweet ra. You''ve totally corrupted her!"


    The two friends were causing a ruckus in the room when ra''s phone began to ring. She saw


    Ian''s number and quickly answered. Her voice was teasing as she spoke, "Honey, someone''s


    talking smack about you behind your back."


    Ian''s lips curled into a smile at the sight of ra''s beaming face. "So chipper? Hanging out with


    Sasha?"


    ra''s eyes widened in surprise. "How did you know?"


    "Who else but she would dare bad-mouth me behind my back?"


    Sasha leaned in, her voiceced with irritation as she addressed Ian on the video call. "Ian, give me


    back my little ra. She''s totally led astray now because of you."


    Ian raised an eyebrow, unfazed. "It''s a case of ''like husband, like wife.'' Haven''t you heard of that?


    Oh, I forgot, you''ve never even been in love, so obviously, you wouldn''t understand the happiness


    involved."


    At his words, Sasha clenched her teeth in anger. "Ian, do you realize I''m ra''s maid of honor?


    Better watch out tomorrow when youe to fetch the bride; I might just block your way!"


    Not daring to push her further, Ian pulled out a small, elegant box from beside him. Inside was a set


    of the season''stest jewelry, something Sasha had long coveted but never splurged on. "This set''s


    for you. It''ll match ra''s jewels perfectly, and I''ve also prepared several bridesmaid dresses for


    you. You''ll have plenty to wear."


    Sasha''s lips twitched into a smile. "That''s more like it. But you better prepare a hefty gift for me, or


    else you won''t be crossing the threshold. You''ll have to plead with me to marry your bride."


    ra pouted at her friend. "Don''t you dare make it tough for him. Otherwise, our future son won''t be


    calling you ''godmother.''"


    Sasha poked ra''s forehead with a chuckle. "You''re already turning on your own. Ungrateful little


    thing. You two chat. I''m off to brainstorm some challenges with Elle downstairs."


    Ian watched ra, his eyes dancing with mirth. "Mrs. Hayes, do you have so little faith in your


    husband?"


    ra pursed her lips and sighed. "Good luck to you. My brother and cousins have been plotting


    how to give you a hard time all day. All fourteen of them. You''ll see what''s waiting for you."


    Ian chuckled with a knowing look. "Don''t worry, darling. Your hubby''s got the stamina to spare. No


    matter how they try to wear me down, I''ll still make sure you end the night with a smile."


    ra''s cheeks med at his brazen words. "I''ll hang up on you."

    "Don''t! I''ve missed you. Let me have a good look at you."


    The next morning, ra was roused from sleep by her father, Casey. "My precious girl, it''s time to


    get up and get beautified. We don''t want to miss the auspicious hour."


    Casey was beaming with joy, yet a hint of worry lingered in his heart. He couldn''t shake off the


    unease Heiman''s words had nted in his mind.
