Glad I Found You

Two weeks later, it was time for my engagement party with Edmond Hardy. Edmond is the sole heir to Maltimum Enterprise. In the brief time we'd spent together over these past two weeks, I realized he wasn't as cold and distant as the rumors had suggested. Instead, he was humble, gentle, and genuinely attentive to me. I didn't want an extravagant event for the engagement, and Edmond respected my wishes, so we decided to keep it simple and host it at our family's villa. Even though it was a modest affair, my parents still invited some of the city's most prominent figures. "After all, this is the engagement of our only daughter and the heir to Maltimum Enterprise. We need to have the proper display, or people will think I don't value this son-in-law! I'm so happy you and Edmond are getting together! Honestly, Edmond's much more presentable than those two fellas. Once you two marry, the company will be yours to manage, and your father and I will be waiting for grandchildren!" Afte

"I'll be a married woman soon, so let's just stop seeing each other, okay?" With that, I gestured for them to leave and pulled Payton with me, heading to my room. But to my surprise, the three of them followed right behind us. Zeke's voice was full of disbelief. "Trish, seriously? It's not the time for you to be throwing a tantrum.

Vivian hesitated, her voice cautious. "Is it okay for us to just walk into Trish's room like this?" Zeke shrugged, unconcerned. "It's fine. She's just throwing a little fit. No big deal." Vivian finally lifted her gaze, but when she saw my room, her eyes went wide. My bedroom was eas

"Edmond, in here!" I heard Payton's voice.The bedroom door suddenly slammed open."Trish!" Edmond rushed in, followed by a few people.The three people already in the bedroom froze at the sound, staring at Edmond in shock.Zeke and Hendrick were both deeply confused, wondering why Edmond was here and whether I was really going to marry him.Edmond quickly swept me off the sofa in his arms and signaled for the family doctor to come forward and check on me.Ever since I collapsed from an allergic reaction during a previous incident, Edmond had made it a habit to bring a doctor with him whenever he visited, just in case something went wrong.Today was supposed to be our engagement party. Edmond had gone to the airport to pick up a piece of jewelry he'd purchased at an auction, which had delayed him. But he certainly hadn't expected to find me in this state when he arrived.The family doctor gave me some medication and then rushed me to the bathroom to induce vomiting. After a whi
