Lena’s heart raced as she nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, troubled and uncertain. She had never
worn a dress like the off-shoulder one before. Her usual attire consisted of all-black outfits, fully covering her arms,
and she felt that this style was her destiny from birth. In her mind, such a beautiful dress belonged to girls like her
sister.
Seeing Lena freeze like a startled deer, Chris felt a sudden clench in his heart. He chuckled softly and suggested,
“Hmm… Maybe you shouldn’t wear that one.”
Lena looked at him, and he continued. “I think this one suits your style better.” He pointed to a classic long dress
with an elegant and conservative design, the hem falling below the knees. It carried a unique charm without

Lina’s eyes lit up, and she agreed. “That’s right! Lenny, you do seem more suitable for this kind of long dress. Chris
has a good eye!”
Chris smirked and asked Lena to try it on. She took it and quickly entered the fitting room.
The result of the fitting pleased everyone—the bridesmaid looked elegant and delicate, and the best man appeared
tall and handsome. They looked perfectly matched, standing together.
Lina discreetly took a photo of them side by side and sent it to Zuko. She then stepped aside and called him, asking,
“What do you think?”
Zuko’s soft voice came through on the other end. “Looks great.”
Lina smiled and declared, “Lenny will be staying at my house from now on. If Mr. Special Forces wants to date her,
he’ll have to go through me first!”
“Staying at your house?” Zuko sounded surprised. “But didn’t my grandmother—”
“Yeah, my dad asked the same thing just now. He said Grandma Janine wanted to thank her properly and asked if
she’d be willing to stay with her. The environment there is nice, better than her rented place, and she could take
care of Grandma Janine.”
“She refused?” Zuko asked.
“Yeah.” Lina paused for a moment and then chuckled softly. “She said she’d rather stay with me. But she’ll still go
over to Grandma Janine’s place to look after her.”
“Oh…”
Zuko furrowed his brow, trying to understand Lena’s behavior. Was she really that dependent on Lina?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe reminded himself not to dwell on such thoughts. Lena was just a young girl who acted distant, but…
He breathed deeply and massaged his temples, sensing something unique about Lena. Perhaps if Chris could
engage her in other activities, she wouldn’t always cling to Lina.
Moreover, with Chris’ special forces background, he could easily uncover Lena’s past if given the chance.
Zuko smirked, finding the previously disapproved document now much more appealing.

As the wedding day neared, Nicholas and Zephyr spent less time on fishing and hot spring trips, dedicating more
time to wedding preparations. They discussed tasks that still needed attention and occasionally ran errands for
their wives in exchange for pocket money.
Jesse and Melissa were equally enthusiastic, offering their help whenever necessary.
