Chapter 346: Omari's Fiancee, Elsa With the objective achieved, Glenn elegantly rose. Just as he reached the door, he spotted a flash of red rushing towards the entrance.
A young man, donned in a dark red robe embroidered with orchids, sported a pair of white-bottomed black canvas shoes. His short hair was tousled by the wind, sticking to his ears. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose almost fell off as he hurriedly ran.
Reaching out in time, he pushed the glasses back into place.
"Kate, I heard you suddenly took leave. Are you okay?" Reece, not yet in the room, shouted Kate's nwith concern evident in his raised voice. His gaze immediately locked onto the green figure on the couch.
In response to his conspicuous concern, Emily chuckled and turned to Iker in the wheelchair, inquiring, "Master Iker, who is this?" Reece, panting, arrived by Kate's side and reached for her soft hand, flashing a smile at the three people. His white teeth nearly blinded onlookers.
"I'm Kate's childhood friend and boyfriend. Hello, beautiful lady." Childhood friends turned lovers? Glenn calmly observed the two. The contrasting red and green colors were a bit harsh on the eyes, yet Reece and Kate, both attractive people, managed to turn what might seem “tacky" on others into a vivid display of colors.

Observing this, Reece took advantage and tightened his grip, using his pinky to gently hook hers, creating a tingling sensation in her palm.
The woman warned him discreetly not to go too far with her eyes.
Emily quickly glanced at her friend Elsa, and both of their expressions becsubtle.
Not long ago, Elsa had warned Kate not to entertain thoughts about her brother. Yet, less than ten minutes later, that warning was publicly contradicted.
A childhood friend turning into a boyfriend; this was what love looked like.
Reece put on a forced smile, his eyes meeting Glenn's gaze directly. He thought, 'Was he the man who slept with Kate that night?" Reece's heart felt bitter, but outwardly, he gracefully extended a hand to Glenn and said, "Master Glenn, thanks for your help. I'll take care of Kate for the rest of her life." Though Kate knew he was only speaking on her behalf to help her, her heart still skipped a beat.
She lowered her head, gazing at the tip of her shoe. When did he becso good? Glenn nodded, elegantly retracting his hand into the pocket of his black suit. He turned to the two women behind him and said, "Let's go." The gifts on the table, from ginseng and deer antlers to high-end foreign wines and expensive perfumes, would have tempted most people. Yet, this group didn't even spare them a glance.
Before leaving, Emily, with a radiant smile, approached Iker in the wheelchair, stepping delicately in high-heeled shoes.
She stopped.
From her luxurious handbag, she took out a red and gold-stamped invitation and handed it to him.
"Master Iker, on the 28th of next month, at Fiddler Hotel, an engagement banquet forand Hayden will be held. We hope you can attend.” As she spoke, as if remembering something, she lowered her gaze. A misty shimmer appeared in her eyes, and she apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Iker... I forgot about your legs. But Hayden said he and you are fellow soldiers, so please make sure to come." Iker's face darkened momentarily. Before he could respond, Elsa gracefully approached.
"Master Iker, the journey to Onistead may pose sdifficulties for your legs. Coincidentally, we're heading back to Onistead. How about joining us? It'll be convenient for us to take care of you on the way." Their sarcastic remarks sounded so harsh to Iker.
Elsa harbored considerable hostility towards Cheyenne. When she looked at her, there was a strong sense of disdain and mockery in her eyes.
"I believe you must be Miss Lawrence, Mr. Foley's ex-wife. I heard that Omari is temporarily staying with you. It must be quite a disturbance for you,” Elsa said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"After all, Miss Lawrence, you haven't fully moved on from your previous marriage. Juggling care for two men must be overwhelming, isn't it?" "The Chanel perfon the table is a gift fromto you, Miss Lawrence. Remember to use it. Omari says he really likes it when I wear this perfume; it brightens his mood every time." "Men, before marriage, tend to play around a bit. We've been engaged for five years, and I allow him to have sfun outside. But once married, the men of the Weaver family must focus on their domestic roles!" Elsa's last sentence was delivered with a resounding tone, and her pride and dominance were evident in her voice.
Cheyenne smirked, her sweet dimples appearing.
So, that was the true thought of Omari's future wife? Cheyenne couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Despite being a refined scoundrel, he wasn't all that bad. After marriage, would he beca “homemaker”? It seemed unlikely.
Cheyenne, unapologetically, faced Elsa's sharp attack with a light and fearless shrug.
"Miss Weaver, your love is indeed generous. Then, I wish you and Mr. Lara a smooth marriage. My place is small and can't accommodate three big shots like you, so please feel free to leave." "Oh, and take your perfwith you. I'm allergic to these common scents, really!" What did she mean? Did she think Omari would ruin the alliance because of a divorced woman like her? Absolutely impossible! Not only would the Weaver family not agree, but even the Lara family would not let this woman off the hook.
As their eyes locked, they both saw the flames of anger in each other's eyes, creating a sense of intense confrontation.
Elsa was infuriated. As the future head of the Weaver family, she had grown up with a silver spoon and had been trained in foreign military academies for eight years, specializing in forensic medicine. She possessed an aura that intimidated half of the men, making them reluctant to challenge her.
Cheyenne, this seemingly soft and weak girl, surprised her a bit. Before coming, she thought the woman Omari would be interested was seductive and playful. Now, it seemed that while Cheyenne was alluring she wasn't as easily dealt with as Elsa had imagined. X
