Sasha leaned in, her voice laced with irritation as she addressed lan on the video call. "lan, giveback my little Clara. She's totally led astray now because of you." lan 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. "lan, do you realize I'm Clara's maid of honor? Better watch out tomorrow when you cto fetch the bride; I might just block your way!"

All fourteen of them. You'll see what's waiting for you." lan chuckled with a knowing look. "Don't worry, darling. Your hubby's got the stamina to spare. No matter how they try to weardown, I'll still make sure you end the night with a smile." Clara's cheeks flamed at his brazen words. "I'll hang up on you."
