Upon hearing Jorge's words, Mikayla frowned and put down her fork
"Carlos was really impressive back in Nosa. | didn't have much interaction with him, but even from a few
meetings, | could tell he was not an ordinary guy. | thought he'd take over the Ludwig family business, but
instead, he suddenly joins the military" Jorge reminisced, his face growing serious.
"Dad, are you saying that his move to the military base is not that simple? Mikayla knew little about these
things. After all. she only cared about Jaxon before.
Jorge nodded
"Dad, if Carlos is so excellent, marrying him would be a win for us. Mikayla served Jorge sfood and
continued. "If you have any doubts, you can check them out when both families meet in the evening after
tomorrow."
Jorge gave in as usual. He wondered now if it had been wise to use her so independently.

Mikayla held the phone away from her ear, frowning
"Go read today's paper! My gosh, Mikayla! You're grabbing the headlines!" Juliet continued without pausing
"What's going on Mikayla asked, now fully awake.
Just check it yourself," Juliet replied.
Then Mikayla heard someone calling Juliet in the Background before the call ended
After washing up, Mikayla went downstairs and picked up the newspaper. She had expected smention of her
and Carlos, but she was shocked to see that two-thirds of the newspapers in Xosa were covering it, while the
Lindstrom family's wedding only got a small section.
One wrote: The son of the Ludwig family is back and proposed in public to the daughter of the Salvatore family!
Our printed [Mikayla and Carlos showing their love"]
Another wrote: [Match made in heaven the Ludwig and Salvatore families formed marriage alliance!]
There were all kinds of praises and flattery for their union. Mikayla knew only Carlos could do such things.
The next second, her phone rang. It was an unknown number. Although she deleted the name, she knew the
caller, perhaps
her good memory, or she remembered the number too Hell. She amwered, "Hello"
You dad thas, night. Mikayla! To get back atJaxon's voice was as gentle as usual, but it only made Mikayla
frown. Sure enough, it was about the newspapers this morning The Lindstron family must be furious right now.

"Jaxon, | finally understand why you hooked up with Winona, Mikayla mocked. She couldn't believe she had said
something so cutting. "You're both so full of yourselves! Then she hung up.
Hearing the beeping. Jaxon stared at the picture of Carlos' proposal in the newspaper. His expression turned
slightly ferocious, as if he was a venomous snake, ready to strike.
In the next room, Winona's eyes widened as she saw the news showcasing the couple's intimacy. There was even
a scene where Jaxon looked at Mikayla affectionately. Winona thought she was the protagonist yesterday, but

Your gift has really tickedoff! Winona fumed inwardly. Today was Mikayla's first day at work. She wore a
black-and-white business suit that stood out against her tanned skin. Her curly hair was tied into a high ponytail,
making her look more lively and elegant. "Dad" Mikayla-called out to Jorge, who was waiting in the living room.
"It's your first day at work today. Letgive you a ride," Jorge offered.
"I don't want people to think I'm relying on family connections, she insisted.
Jorge smiled and went out ahead of her.
Josiah had been waiting since early morning. When he saw Mikayla, he was momentarily taken aback before
regaining his focus. He opened the car door for her and then got into the driver's seat. The black car drove down
the road against the cold wind.
Josiah, how long have you been with Carlos Mikayla asked.
"Ten years!" Josiah replied straightforwardly.
"How did you meet Carlos?" Mikayla asked. She didn't know Josiah well, and he didn't seem like the chatty type,
so she tried to find something to talk about to break the ice in the car. Unexpectedly, Josiah didn't respond.
The winter sun was shining bright, and the streets of Xosa were bustling. Mikayla pursed her lips and looked out
of the window. The advertisements on the street were replaced with banners like: [Carlos will only marry
Mikaylal]
