The invited guests gradually left the venue, taking with them their amazement at the dramatic surprise that had just unfolded. Outside the building, the night air of Manhattan blew gently, bringing a sense of calm after the emotional storm that had swept through the event.In the hotel’s dimly lit backyard garden, illuminated by decorative hanging lights, the atmosphere was quiet and private. On a white wooden bench surrounded by bushes of lilies, Daven and Joye sat side by side. Their fingers were tightly intertwined, as though they were unwilling to let go for even a second after being separated for so long by the walls of fate.Daven gazed at Joye’s face beneath the garden lights. A soft glimmer reflected in the girl’s eyes. There was no longer any anxiety or fearful tears, only relief and a love so pure.Joye looked up, starin
The white spotlights in the main hall of the Grand Plaza Hotel suddenly focused entirely on the main stage. The orchestral music that had previously flowed softly now changed into a grand and solemn melody, signaling that the most anticipated moment of the evening had arrived: the engagement ring exchange ceremony.The groom-to-be’s family stood on the right side of the stage with wide smiles, while the invited guests closed ranks, preparing to give a thunderous round of applause. On the stage, Joye stood with her breath held. Her face looked extremely pale, the smile on her lips seemed painfully forced, and her eyes reflected overwhelming resignation as the man standing before her began lifting a small box containing a diamond ring.The emcee, or MC, held a microphone with the enthusiastic style typical of an upper-class party host. His voice echoed throughout the entire room through the loudspeakers.“All right, distinguished guests! We have now arrived at the highlight of this joyo
The main crystal chandelier in the hall of the Grand Plaza Hotel suddenly dimmed, signaling that the highlight of the evening was about to begin. The invited guests began closing ranks, filling the area around the main stage where a table decorated with white lilies had been arranged neatly. Up there, the emcee, with his melodious voice, was preparing to announce the ring exchange ceremony.In the corner row of seats, Calvin and Camelia stood side by side. Their eyes were not focused on the stage but instead remained fixed on Daven, who stood alone near a marble pillar. The young man’s face looked extremely stiff, his jaw clenched, and his eyes reflected an indescribably deep pain as he watched Joye and her fiancé begin facing each other on the stage.As parents who had once experienced the bitterness of separation and suffered through the uncertainty of love, Calvin recognized that expression all too well. He knew exactly what kind of wound was tearing through his eldest son’s heart
Giant crystal chandeliers cast a shimmering golden glow across the main hall of the Grand Plaza Manhattan Hotel. Tonight, a magnificent engagement celebration was being held amid a gathering of the city’s elite. The melodies of a classical orchestra blended with the whispers and laughter of guests dressed in their finest attire.In one corner of the room, Camelia stood gracefully in a pastel purple evening gown that complemented the gleam of the platinum ring on her ring finger. Beside her, Calvin looked remarkably handsome in a perfectly tailored formal black suit. An aura of nobility and serenity surrounded the couple, signifying that the storms of the past had completely faded from their lives.However, some people’s attention tonight was not focused solely on the grandeur of the party, but also on the figure of a simple girl standing on a small stage with her fiancé.Joye wore a loose-fitting champagne-colored evening gown adorned with delicate embroidery around the chest. Her cur
The morning sunlight crept through the gaps in the curtains of the guest room, casting a soft glow across the clean wooden floor. The morning atmosphere at the Ashford residence was peaceful, leaving behind traces of exhaustion from the overeating drama Revaline had caused the previous night.Revaline woke with her head still slightly dizzy and her stomach feeling a little cramped. She blinked slowly, shifting her sleeping position until she was leaning against the headboard. Her nightgown was still neatly in place, and the sweet scent of vanilla suddenly wafted faintly into her senses.Knock... knock...The bedroom door was gently knocked from outside before it was pushed open.Daven stepped inside wearing casual home clothes. In his right hand, the tall young man carried a small tray containing a glass of warm vanilla-flavored milk and several slices of toasted whole-wheat bread spread with strawberry jam.Revaline’s eyes widened in surprise as she watched Daven approach her bed cal
The atmosphere inside the guest room of the Ashford residence suddenly became busy and filled with panic in the middle of the night. Revaline lay weakly on the bed, her face deathly pale. Her stomach cramped terribly from extreme overeating that had ended in disaster. She curled up, enduring the pain while occasionally hissing softly and cursing her own foolishness for recklessly eating so much in an attempt to change her body shape.The bedroom door swung wide open. Calvin hurried inside, accompanied by the family doctor, who was carrying a medical case filled with equipment. Behind them, Aurora followed with her arms crossed over her chest, staring at Revaline with an expression of bewilderment mixed with amusement.The doctor immediately approached the bed, checking Revaline’s temperature and gently pressing the tense, distended area of her abdomen.“How is she, Doctor?” Calvin asked, his baritone voice filled with concern.The doctor let out a soft breath as he adjusted his stetho
