Chapter 1626:
“What did you...”
Eric captured her hand in his, their fingers intertwining naturally as they navigated the moonlit paths.
“The wedding, primarily,” Hadley replied, a flush of self-consciousness tinting her voice. She was still
unaccustomed to such focused attention on her happiness.
Questions that once seemed insurmountable now dissolved like morning mist under Nyla’s decisive authority.
“Grandma has decreed Ironspire as our wedding location,” she revealed, wonder still coloring her words.
Ironspire—a destination renowned for its ancient marriage traditions and remarkably low divorce rates. Nyla’s
selection was both sentimental and strategic, typical of her meticulous planning.
“Perfect choice,” Eric affirmed, genuine pleasure warming his features. No protest crossed his mind. “What else
did you talk about?”
“Well...” Hadley’s voice carried a hint of carefully contained excitement. “Grandma mentioned her preferred
wedding planners—an exclusive team she’s worked with before. They'll present comprehensive proposals by
next week,” she explained, still marveling at the machine now set in motion on her behalf.

orchestrated Ernest's wedding to perfection—though it didn’t happen in the end. Anyways, with her guiding
hand, our celebration is sure to be flawlessly executed.”
“Indeed.” Hadley nodded, concern pressing her lips into a thin line. “I worry about the strain on her, especially at
her age, despite her formidable energy.”
Eric shared her sentiment, his gratitude for Nyla swelling alongside a prick of conscience. Traditionally, these
arrangements would fall squarely on his shoulders as the groom. But reality offered little alternative—Milly
struggled with basic self-care these days, while Eric's female relatives possessed neither the inclination nor the
competence to assist. Nyla’s intervention was nothing short of providential.
“But Grandma insisted,” Hadley said, her expression softening into a smile. “That far from tiring her, these
preparations bring her profound joy.”
Eric’s fingers tightened around hers, his smile mirroring hers. “We'll ensure she receives our attentive care going
forward—a small repayment for everything she’s given us.”

“Mm-hmm.”
The persistent tightness that had gripped her heart for years finally unraveled, leaving Hadley awash in
unfamiliar but welcserenity.
The sanctuary of Olisvale Bay welcomed them home. Eric couldn't resist, and the two shared an intimate, loving
moment.
In the aftermath, Eric cradled her against him, his fingers tracing soothing circles along the curve of her waist,
her skin glowing in the amber lamplight. The jarring electronic chof Hadley’s phone fractured their peaceful
cocoon. Languishing in the rare luxury of complete relaxation, Hadley refused to surrender to reality, her eyes
remaining closed as she murmured, “Would you answer that, please?”
“Of course.” Eric stretched toward the nightstand, retrieving the vibrating device. The screen illuminated his face
as he noted, “Ernest is calling.” With a practiced motion, he accepted the call and gently pressed the warm
device against her ear.
“Hello, Ernest?” Her voice carried the lingering softness of contentment.
“Hadley,” Ernest's voice traveled through the connection, uncharacteristic hesitation coloring his typically
confident tone. “I find myself in need of your assistance with a rather delicate matter.”
