Chapter 207


    "Mom, it''s not that I''m being picky about you guys, I just want to n my own wedding, the only one


    in my life, as a token of my love for Izzy. If you guys handle it, what''s left for me to do?" Ethan


    exined helplessly. Erica''s face softened slightly upon hearing this, but she was still uneasy,


    speaking in a low voice, "Ethan, you should have told us about this earlier, didn''t you know I''ve


    already nned out the details of your wedding?"


    Ethan kept silent, fearing exactly this reaction, which was why he hadn''t told them. But the issue


    had been brought up by Ashley now, and he suspected she did it on purpose.


    "When is the wedding?" Phillip asked heavily.


    "It''s still a while away, in October, which is why I haven''t mentioned it to you yet," Ethan exined.


    Lauren chuckled, "Sister, dad, let Ethan handle this. We should give him this chance to express his


    love for Izzy."


    Trenton, typically a man of few words, cast a nce at Ethan, "If you''re orchestrating this yourself,


    ensure you deliberate meticulously. Let no crucial detail slip through the cracks."


    "I got it, dad," Ethan grinned.


    Erica shot a dissatisfied look at her husband but didn''t say anything else, apparently giving her tacit


    consent. Phillip didn''t object either.


    Ashley pouted, "Bro, expressing your love is one thing, but don''t forget to make me a bridesmaid or


    something. Hurry up and get me hitched, or I''ll just keep bullying you here."


    "Ashley!" Ethan red at Ashley.


    Unfazed, Ashley continued, "Bro, here''s a suggestion, you don''t just need one bridesmaid, you


    need a team. Izzy''s best friends are a must, and I should be considered too. Maybe we can invite


    Silvia, she should be free, right?"


    Mentioned out of the blue, Silvia felt ufortable but suppressed her feelings and seemed lost for


    a moment.


    "Silvia?" Ashley called again.


    Silvia clenched her fist under the table, her face beaming with a smile, "Of course I''d be happy to be


    Izzy''s bridesmaid."


    At this point, Ashley was fully convinced of Ines'' suspicion. To avoid raising Silvia''s suspicion, she


    dropped the subject.


    But, the topic Ashley brought up wouldn''t just end like this, the family started discussing it.


    Ines nced at Silvia, feeling uneasy. Without Ashley''s help, she might have been fooled by her


    innocent facade and mistaken Ethan as just a brother to her.


    Ines couldn''t focus on what the Meyer family was saying, her mind was upied with this issue.


    Ethan noticed Ines seemed upset, he gently stroked her hair, nervously asked, "Are you tired?"


    Ines replied, "I am, I can barely keep my eyes open."


    "That''s normal, Ethan, you should take Izzy upstairs to rest," Erica suggested sympathetically.


    "Sure, I''ll apany Izzy upstairs, you guys continue discussing the wedding, it''s important too,"


    Ashley volunteered.


    Once secluded in their bedroom, Ashley bubbled with excitement, "Ines, your ploy unfolded


    beautifully. Silvia''s emotions for my brother extend beyond friendship. Her countenance hardened at


    your wedding news, and she appeared disoriented when named as a bridesmaid."


    "I owe it all to your inspiration, you''ve always been good at hiding, until Noel identally revealed


    it," Inesughed.


    Ashley protested, "Ines, I can''t believe I unwittingly became your teaching material."


    Ines just smiled and didn''t say anything. As a woman, she knew very well that women often have a


    hard time concealing their true emotions when ites to love.


    "Ines, what''s your n? Silvia is very good at hiding. Without this test today, we wouldn''t have


    known about her feelings, or how capable she is of having such an idea. If she''s been in love with


    my brother all this time, then women are trulyplicated."


    Ines grinned at Ashley, "Look who''s talking, haven''t you been hiding for years too? I just realized


    how deep you young girls can be."

    Ashley huffed, "Ines, I''m different, I never deliberately hid it, they just didn''t notice. I''ve always been


    sticking to Aaron, can''t believe they never caught on, can I be med for that? Plus, I''m younger, I


    couldn''t confess at such a young age, I would have been scolded by dad."


    "Alright, I got it," Ines chuckled, nudging Ashley''s shoulder.


    "So, Ines, what''s your n? I''ll fully support you."


    "Right now, I''m not sure what her feelings for your brother are. If it''s just a crush, I don''t want to


    make your brother feel awkward."


    Ashley shook her head, "Ines, howe pregnancy makes you dumb? Hear me out. Based on my


    experience, I think Silvia came back because of my brother. The timing is too coincidental. As far as


    I know, she never came back during her years studying abroad, but she returned right after your


    interview video with my brother was released. Isn''t that obvious? Think about it, if she just likes my


    brother, without any ulterior motives, she wouldn''t need toe back. She could just keep her love


    hidden. So, I believe her return is not a good sign," Ashley spoke earnestly.


    "Your analysis makes sense," Ines thought Ashley had a point.
