However, Uncle Lance seems quite determined to have Bella as his future daughter-in-law.” “Hmph, that old man is living in a fantasy! My sister is like a goddess, and marrying her off to those brutes from the Iverson family is like throwing pearls into the mud!

“I'm just upset about my limited edition La Voiture Noire. It's probably wrecked.” “The car doesn’t matter. Your safety is what's important.” Christopher couldn’t help but grasp her hand firmly in his warm palm. “Whatever car you want, | will get it for you, even if there’s only one in the whole world.” He was willing to give Bella everything.

As the night progressed, Drew and Amelia sat together on a long bench in the corridor. Having tended to her sister all day, Amelia was exhausted. Her head gradually drooped, and her eyelids were weighed down by sleepiness. In her fatigued state, she looked innocent and endearing.
Eventually, Amelia couldn't fight off sleep any longer. Her head tilted, coming to rest on Drew’s shoulder.
Drew was momentarily surprised, his gaze softening as he looked at Amelia. He didn’t dare to move, struck by the unexpected closeness.
