Semua Bab Notice Me, Darling!: Bab 541 - Bab 550

Lavender had been so excited and happy just a moment ago. But now, she couldn't help but feel a little down."I-Is this the only one you've got?" She tried her luck and asked."Yes, all our wedding dresses are handmade, so there's only one of them," the sales associate said regrettably."I see. Let me change out of it then." Lavender wanted to make things easy for the sales associate too."Would you like to try other dresses, miss? We have some other nice new designs." The sales associate tried to interest her in other dresses.But Lavender wasn't in the mood for dresses anymore now. "No thanks, maybe next time," she answered.Sometimes, when we had our minds set on something the moment we laid eyes on it, it would be impossible to find a substitute for it.Hence, Lavender knew that no other dress would catch her eyes now.Meanwhile, Jonah had been sitting there quietly. When Lavender went back to the dressing room, he lowered his head and squeezed his hands, as though he was

There was a raging flame burning in Cesar's heart as he felt a strong pain on his cheek.As much as he wanted to return the favor, he suppressed his rage and calmed himself down.Instead of showing his anger, he smiled lightly. "This is the first time that anyone has ever slapped me. Since you're the one who slapped me, I might never forget this slap.""Enough with the bullshit, Cesar Yoder! Don't tell me you're not the one behind all this." Lavender furiously questioned him.Cesar raised his hand and slightly touched his aching cheek.Then, instead of answering Lavender's questions, he said, "Can't you see, Lavender? After what happened today, can't you see how difficult it'll be if you really choose to be with Jonah?"You'll never know what kind of mess you'd need to clean up for him! Why don't you save yourself some trouble and find someone who can protect you, someone who can solve everything for you? Why must you be the one protecting others?" Cesar found it incomprehensible

If Celine had to pick the one thing she regretted most, it would be the fact she bet her entire life on a man like Shane. "Look at the state Jonah is in! Yet you still want to report him as a thief? Do you want him to live in shame forever?" she exclaimed.Shane had just heard about this from his assistant. After all, he would definitely be the first to hear about his private safe being broken in. But he didn't expect the thief to be Jonah.However, Shane couldn't bring himself to care.Even though he had been Jonah's dad for over 20 years, Jonah wasn't his biological son. So, why should he care?Shane huffed. "Celine, don't cause trouble here. What? Am I supposed to forgive your son even if he burns down my company? "If I let him go today, people will think I'm a pushover and might come to cause trouble in the future. And if that happens, what should I do then?"But Celine didn't want to hear Shane's lame excuses."I'll agree to any condition as long as you let Jonah go.

Natalie was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her emotions. So, she quickly lifted her head and blinked hard, fearing that her tears would fall."How did you find out about this?" Natalie tried to steady her voice."When Celine donated her blood to you, I found it too coincidental that you both had the same blood type. Later on, when news of Celine abandoning her daughter for her selfish dream came out, I felt that something was off."So, I immediately had someone look into Celine's background. But what surprised me was the picture of Celine when she was young," Henry began.Upon hearing this, Natalie slowly turned toward him.Henry continued, "You really look so much like her younger self. Combined with various clues later on, and Celine's strange reactions every time she saw you... I could almost guess your relationship."After hearing this, Natalie fell silent again.Henry then gently took her hand. It was as cold as ice, but Henry knew that her heart felt even cold

Upon learning of Jonah's release, Lavender felt a mix of surprise and relief and wasted no time in heading to the police station to pick him up.The ordeal seemed to have taken its toll on Jonah when she arrived to fetch him—his head hung low, and he appeared depressed.Lavender's sadness only deepened upon witnessing the state he was in. Even upon returning home, Jonah's condition remained bleak."Jonah... It's all behind us now. We're home now, so please don't dwell on this anymore. Let's move forward, okay?" she gently comforted him.But then, Jonah suddenly mumbled, "I'm sorry…"Lavender thought that Jonah was apologizing for being sent to the police station, so she quickly shook her head. "Everyone makes mistakes. This..."But before she could finish speaking, Jonah's next words left her speechless."I never got you that beautiful wedding dress..." Jonah quickly glanced at her, his tone tinged with guilt.Lavender froze, at a loss for words. Was that the reason for his
