"Sorry, Dad," Asher said with a furrowed brow and a wry smile.
"Ash, Arnold, when are you holding the wedding?" Axel asked, prompting everyone to chime in excitedly. The atmosphere became lively again.
"I don't need a wedding. The proposal Ash gave me was already perfect." Arnold's narrow eyes sparkled like stars as he gazed lovingly at his partner. "I feel happy, and that's enough."
The union of Asher and Arnold was truly a match made in heaven.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Joyful times passed quickly.
Except for the newlyweds, who stayed at the estate to enjoy a long and sweet honeymoon, everyone else gradually returned to Savrow and Hatchbay.
Princess Annabeth also sensibly returned to Sentania with Camilla after bidding farewell to everyone. She did not look at Declan even once from the time she left the estate.
The news from that night had been earth-shattering for her, like a bolt of lightning.
The mere thought that Declan's mother's misfortune might be connected to her family left her too terrified to face the man she loved. She left with her head hanging low, like a wilted flower.
Bella silently observed this, then glanced at her sorrowful third brother, feeling a deep discomfort in her heart.
Love could make people foolish, intoxicated, and painfully heartbroken.
Though she had only spent a few days with Annabeth, Bella had already accepted her as a beloved little sister. She even thought about visiting Sentania once the troubles in Savrow were settled.
Perhaps with the help of Camilla and her brother-in-law, she could see Annabeth again.
More importantly, she wanted to step into her mother's homeland and search for any clues about her mother.
After returning to Savrow, Bella and Justin rested for two days before diving back into their busy work, ready for action at any moment.
Even while they were in Botvia, they had kept a close watch on the situation back home, not letting down their guard for a second.
Today, Bella led the company's executives in a day-long meeting. In the evening, as she reviewed documents in her office, Steven knocked on the door and entered.
"How's the situation?" Bella asked immediately.
"Ms. Bella, you truly have foresight. Ever since Mr. Salvador privately met with Deputy Chief Hopkins, his entire lifestyle has undergone a dramatic change!" Steven's eyes shone with excitement as he spoke rapidly.
Bella sighed lightly, raising her beautiful eyes to look at him as if he were a fool.
"Who asked you about that? I was asking about Amelia and the baby. How are they?"
Steven froze, his face turning red as he stammered, "Ah... Y-Yesterday, I accompanied Amelia to the hospital for a check-up. The fetus is now two months old and very healthy."
"You really are clueless. Amelia has been pregnant for two months, and you only just found out." Bella could not help but roll her eyes at him. "If I had not noticed Amelia secretly having morning sickness and figured out she was pregnant, you would probably have thought she was just gaining weight as her belly grew bigger every day!"
"It's all my fault. I deserve to be punished," Steven said, feeling guilty enough to want to slap himself. Never mind, when he got home, he would let his wife do it.
"Even though she's two months along, you still need to be extra careful. Don't let Amelia fall or get hurt, and be especially mindful of her diet. Understand?" Bella warned him earnestly.
"Absolutely, absolutely! Please don't worry, Ms. Bella. Amelia and the baby are my everything!" Steven vowed, barely able to contain his joy.
Bella's long lashes trembled slightly as she lowered her gaze, lost in thought.
Two months...
Back then, the child she had lost had also been in her womb for two months before leaving her forever.
As this thought crossed her mind, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
Pulling herself together, Bella refocused her gaze and said steadily, "You mentioned Deputy Chief Hopkins earlier. Continue."
