Chapter 207

"Mom, it's not that I'm being picky about you guys, I just want to plan my own wedding, the only one in my life, as a token of my love for Izzy. If you guys handle it, what's left for me to do?" Ethan explained helplessly. Erica's face softened slightly upon hearing this, but she was still uneasy, speaking in a low voice, "Ethan, you should have told us about this earlier, didn't you know I've already planned out the details of your wedding?"

Ethan kept silent, fearing exactly this reaction, which was why he hadn't told them. But the issue had been brought up by Ashley now, and he suspected she did it on purpose.

"When is the wedding?" Phillip asked heavily.

"It's still a while away, in October, which is why I haven't mentioned it to you yet," Ethan explained.

Lauren chuckled, "Sister, dad, let Ethan handle this. We should give him this chance to express his love for Izzy."

Trenton, typically a man of few words, cast a glance at Ethan, "If you're orchestrating this yourself, ensure you deliberate meticulously. Let no crucial detail slip through the cracks."

"I got it, dad," Ethan grinned.

Erica shot a dissatisfied look at her husband but didn't say anything else, apparently giving her tacit consent. Phillip didn't object either.

Ashley pouted, "Bro, expressing your love is one thing, but don't forget to make me a bridesmaid or something. Hurry up and get me hitched, or I'll just keep bullying you here."

"Ashley!" Ethan glared at Ashley.

Unfazed, Ashley continued, "Bro, here's a suggestion, you don't just need one bridesmaid, you need a team. Izzy's best friends are a must, and I should be considered too. Maybe we can invite Silvia, she should be free, right?"

Mentioned out of the blue, Silvia felt uncomfortable but suppressed her feelings and seemed lost for a moment.

"Silvia?" Ashley called again.

Silvia clenched her fist under the table, her face beaming with a smile, "Of course I'd be happy to be Izzy's bridesmaid."

At this point, Ashley was fully convinced of Ines' suspicion. To avoid raising Silvia's suspicion, she dropped the subject.

But, the topic Ashley brought up wouldn't just end like this, the family started discussing it.

Ines glanced at Silvia, feeling uneasy. Without Ashley's help, she might have been fooled by her innocent facade and mistaken Ethan as just a brother to her.

Ines couldn't focus on what the Meyer family was saying, her mind was occupied with this issue. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Ethan noticed Ines seemed upset, he gently stroked her hair, nervously asked, "Are you tired?"

Ines replied, "I am, I can barely keep my eyes open."

"That's normal, Ethan, you should take Izzy upstairs to rest," Erica suggested sympathetically.

"Sure, I'll accompany Izzy upstairs, you guys continue discussing the wedding, it's important too," Ashley volunteered.

Once secluded in their bedroom, Ashley bubbled with excitement, "Ines, your ploy unfolded beautifully. Silvia's emotions for my brother extend beyond friendship. Her countenance hardened at your wedding news, and she appeared disoriented when named as a bridesmaid."

"I owe it all to your inspiration, you've always been good at hiding, until Noel accidentally revealed it," Ines laughed.

Ashley protested, "Ines, I can't believe I unwittingly became your teaching material."

Ines just smiled and didn't say anything. As a woman, she knew very well that women often have a hard time concealing their true emotions when it comes to love.

"Ines, what's your plan? Silvia is very good at hiding. Without this test today, we wouldn't have known about her feelings, or how capable she is of having such an idea. If she's been in love with my brother all this time, then women are truly complicated."

Ines grinned at Ashley, "Look who's talking, haven't you been hiding for years too? I just realized how deep you young girls can be."

Ashley huffed, "Ines, I'm different, I never deliberately hid it, they just didn't notice. I've always been sticking to Aaron, can't believe they never caught on, can I be blamed for that? Plus, I'm younger, I couldn't confess at such a young age, I would have been scolded by dad."

"Alright, I got it," Ines chuckled, nudging Ashley's shoulder.

"So, Ines, what's your plan? I'll fully support you."

"Right now, I'm not sure what her feelings for your brother are. If it's just a crush, I don't want to make your brother feel awkward."

Ashley shook her head, "Ines, how come pregnancy makes you dumb? Hear me out. Based on my experience, I think Silvia came back because of my brother. The timing is too coincidental. As far as I know, she never came back during her years studying abroad, but she returned right after your interview video with my brother was released. Isn't that obvious? Think about it, if she just likes my brother, without any ulterior motives, she wouldn't need to come back. She could just keep her love hidden. So, I believe her return is not a good sign," Ashley spoke earnestly.

"Your analysis makes sense," Ines thought Ashley had a point.
