It took me a while to snap back to reality.

I reached out and wrapped my arms around his waist, feeling his muscles tense instantly. I nestled my head against his chest affectionately.
The camera captured that exact moment.
Our two families immediately confirmed the engagement between Alexander and me.
That very evening, the photo made headlines.
Our engagement ceremony followed shortly after.
As it ended, I spotted Gabriel and Micah again.
Both looked absolutely livid.
The moment they saw me emerge, they rushed over like they were demanding an explanation.
[What kind of spell did Theodore cast on these two men? They keep pestering her.]
[Chloe didn’t invite them. They couldn’t get in, so they’ve been waiting outside this whole time.]

Gabriel frowned and confronted me: “Chloe, Theodore just passed away not long ago, and you’re already this eager to find your next man?”
I found his words ridiculous: “Since he’s already dead, am I supposed to stay unmarried for the rest of my life because of him?”
“Actually, he’s not…” Micah desperately wanted to reveal the truth.
But Gabriel grabbed his arm. Gabriel said: “But you’re moving
the way too fast. How can you face him? Besides, just now, police sent word that Theodore might still be alive, and he might be right…”
“Hold on,” I interrupted him, “if you two feel so guilty about him, then when he comes back alive, why don’t one of you be his wife and the other his mistress?”
Gabriel was instantly speechless: “You…”
Footsteps approached from behind as Alexander walked over with several burly bodyguards.
“What’s going on here?” Alexander asked.
Micah immediately tried to placate him: “Nothing at all. We just came to offer our congratulations. Gabriel, let’s go.”

“I get the feeling she knows something,” Gabriel said. “We need to call Theodore and tell him to get back here fast. Otherwise, once they have their wedding, it’ll be too late for everything.”
Micah replied: “Forget it. You call him if you want. I can’t afford to mess with the Thompson family. When you were talking just now, I saw Mr. Thompson watching us from nearby. His eyes looked murderous. If you’re not scared, fine, but I am.”
