"I have something else to attend to, so | won't keep you," Carlos and coldly, clearly dismissing Hugo without a

second thought.

The next moment. Mikayla felt a sudden warmth in her cold palm, and before she could react, Carlos had gently

but firmly. taken her hand and led her away.

Standing on the lush green lawn, Carlos turned to Mikayla and held her hand, looking concerned. "Why are your

hands so cold

"It's like this every winter. It'll be tin spring." Mikayla replied. She was used to it after years of seeing doctors

and trying treatments that didn't help. But feeling Carlos's intense eyes on her in such a public setting, she

Carlos tightened his grip on her delicate hand, looking deeply into her eyes. "From now on, I'll be by your side

every winter. When you're with me, you don't have to worry about what others think." Mikayla's heart swelled

with satisfaction. She never thought she'd find herself drawn to another man so quickly after her last

relationship. But Carlos's charm was impossible to resist.

Unbeknownst to them, multiple cameras were discreetly capturing their every move, while a pair of malevolent

As Garrett departed, only Hugo and Jaxon remained.

Jaxon asked, "Dad, is that really Carlos His memory of Carlos was mostly from their childhood, and it had almost

faded since Carlos disappeared a few years ago, Jaxon did remember Carlos's arrogant attitude when they first

met, though.

"Yeah!" Hugo sighed.

Jaxon had always paid close attention to Hugo's opinion-especially toward those few people he truly respected.

"He went to a military base for years and hasn't been back to Xosa. Why now! Hugo smiled meaningfully at

Jaxon. "Do you think the Ludwig family would send their only son to a military base just for training? Carlos could

be a serious rival for Brantley in the future

He gazed in the direction Carlos had gone. "I thought you could marry Jorge's daughter, and Salvatore Group

would have been yours sooner or later! But | didn't expect you to...

"Dad. I'm sorry!" Jaxon said, bowing his head. He knew he had let her father down-made mistakes at such a

critical

moment.

Looking at Jaxon, who was closest to him and always listened to him, Hugo didn't feel any resentment. He waved

his hand. and said, "Whatever, things are how they are. Winona is also a good option. But annexing Salvatore

Group will be a challenging task."

"Yeah," Jaxon replied, his eyes still fixed on the other side. The sight made him jealous, and a fierce look flashed

in his eyes.

"Carlos might have feelings for Mikayla. Hugo noticed the scene too. He could see the complications that could

arise if Carlos and Mikayla got together.

"The previous plan failed because of Carlos," said Jaxon.

"What? It's him!" Hugo clenched the wine glass, pondered for a while, and said, “Jaxon, listen to me. Stay away

from Mikayla"

"Why Is Carlos that big of a deal?" Jaxon asked, puzzled. Carlos bad been gone for years, and now he was back

Twent by and the wedding went off without a hitch. Near the end, Carlos got a phone call and said he

needed to leave early. Mikayla suddenly felt a bit lost. "Why the look? Don't want him to go?" Juliet teased

Mikayla tried to swat Juliet's forehead, but Juliet dodged with a laugh.

"See? You're blushing! I've never seen you blush in front of Jaxon Juliet said, grinning like she'd uncovered a big

secret.

"If you keep it up, I'll call Brantley over here," Mikayla blurt out. But instantly, she regretted the words but

couldn't take them back now

I've decided. I'm going to find a man!" exclaimed Juliet.

Seeing Juliet's still-red eyes, Mikayla understood. "You're acting on impulse!"

"Didn't you go to Carlos impulsively? Even though he seems distant, | can tell he cares about you," said Juliet.

"That's different," Mikayla replied. She had acted quickly to find Carlos, but she knew what she wanted. She

never believed marriage had to be all about feelings.

"Mikayla, I'm tired of loving someone. | want someone to love me, Juliet confessed, leaning on Mikayla's

shoulder. Mikayla just sat there, offering silent support. After a while, Mikayla spoke softly. "Yeah, find someone

who truly loves you.
