Shouldn’t she be saying, “There’s no point in holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you?”

Seeing that she wasn’t going to dwell on the matter anymore, I acted as though I didn’t hear her and did

nothing about it.

In the end, I went along with Emery and bought a red gown, paired with some jade pieces as my

accessories. It was my dream wedding outfit.

I also chose a normal-looking phoenix coronet. It didn’t cost much, but it was still pleasing to the eye.

However, the previous phoenix coronet had left a great impression on me. The current one lacked

meaning to it no matter what.

Emery finally agreed to return home with me after we placed our orders.

The streets were bustling with energy. The pedestrians all around wore traditional clothing, but they still

looked lively. It wasn’t like how the television had depicted at all.

As we passed by a small eatery, a wave of pedestrians blocked the streets, and there was no way to get

past them. All we could do was wait for them to move along.

A moment later, eight men carrying a sedan chair passed by, with a group of security escorts beside

them. The sedan was so intricately decorated that more and more people were stopping to take pictures

and videos of it.

“If only I could get married on that sedan chair. I’d have no regrets then.”

“You sure ask for a lot. Do you even know how special that sedan is? There are already seven to eight

types of wood used to build it, not to mention the carving skills on it. I’ve only seen a picture of it in a

magazine previously. This particular sedan chair is especially complicated. It took eleven professionals

three years to complete it. It even has intricate designs on it. One can only imagine how much it costs.

There’s no way you can have this. But Fuller Corporation really is generous with their spending. It’s like

money is nothing to them when it comes to this cultural festival.”

“My sedan… Oh, when is the man of my dreams going to come to me in his white horse?”

Young women are always obsessed with romance.

To decrease exposure, the eight men quickened their paces. They disappeared into the corner in just

minutes. Countless pedestrians followed along, and the street became quiet in an instant.

“You should really learn how to spend your money from Ashton,” Emery said suddenly.

“What does this have to do with him? Summer’s the one leading this project.” I had a confused

expression but helplessly smiled when I realized that she was probably talking about what happened

back in the shop.

“Please. You were the director of Fuller Corporation. Did you forget that every fund spent would need the

president’s approval? How would there be such a majestic sedan chair here if it wasn’t for Ashton?”

“True. But it’s still thanks to Summer for having such a good eye for things,” I said stubbornly.

Dimples showed on Emery’s cheeks as she replied, “Yes, yes. You have such a great daughter. She

spent so much time and energy on this cultural festival. I’m sure she must be tired after this.”

At her words, I turned to look at the walls of the city. Summer looked thin and vulnerable in her green

outfit. It must have been hard on her to take on such an important project.

But she would never agree to accept help since she always wanted to be strong.

Why don’t I cook something as a reward for her?

“Let’s go.” Blood ran hot in me when I decided what I was going to do. I hooked my arm around Emery’s

and dragged her outside. “Let’s go wipe out the supermarket!”

I was a bit rusty as it had been a long time since I last cooked. Originally, I planned to cook alone but

could barely manage even with Mrs. Kingsley helping.

“Please hand me the garlic, Mrs. Kingsley. I’ve already plated the prawns. Summer can have them right

when she comes home if we steam them now.”

Without turning to look, I reached out my hand and felt something on it. But right when I pulled back my

hand, I realized someone had followed my action and had leaned over.

“Ashton!” Annoyed, I pushed him away and added, “Don’t mess around here. Summer hasn’t been

eating well lately. I want to make sure everything is done before she comes home.”
