He nodded and said, “By the way, Sienna might stay with us in a few days. She just came back and hasn’t found a place yet.”
He made it sound casually natural.
“Got it.” I indifferently pulled my suitcase toward the door. “I don’t mind. Let the butler take care of it. She can stay wherever she likes.”
He was briefly stunned before grabbing my arm. “You… When will you be back?”
“I’m not sure. I’ll let you know when I know.”
Feeling relieved, he let go of my arm and turned to text Sienna Lynch. He did not even ask where I was going on my business trip.
I moved back into my own house. The next day, I saw a photo of Zach picking up Sienna at the airport in the entertainment news.
In the photo, Zach was holding an umbrella for Sienna. He did not even notice his shoulders getting soaked as he tried to keep her dry.
The bold headline read [Mr. Jefferson’s Journey to Love Ends in Happiness], and the comments were full of praise.
[Wow! This is like a fairy tale!]
[I’m swooning! This is so romantic!]
[Love that Spans Through Childhood！They make such a perfect couple.]
There were a few questions as well.
[I thought Zach was getting engaged?]
[What will his future fiancee think about this?]
But those comments got buried by the others.
I scoffed, turned off my phone, and answered a call from Joel.
“The engagement dresses and jewelry are ready. Do you have time to try them today?”
I was surprised. “Already?”
Only yesterday,we had only decided to get engaged and this morning,the outfits were already here. I was at a loss for words and was touched by his efficiency.
In contrast,during my engagement preparations with Zach,I handled everything on my own.
All he’d ever contributed were a few impatient remarks. He had never thought about how exhausted I might feel.
Yet now,Joel has shown me how a true fiancéshould act.
When he picked me up and we arrived, I found out he had hired the whole design team!
“Oh my, so you’re the bride-to-be?”
A blonde senior designer looked me over with a smile and teased, “No wonder Mr. Howard was in such a hurry. You’re so beautiful.”
Before I could feel embarrassed, they had me try on several dresses.
“These were made based on the measurements Mr. Howard gave us. Let’s see if they fit.”
I twirled around in the dress and was shocked to see it fit perfectly.
My ears turned red from embarrassment. I softly asked Joel, “How did you know?”
He smiled innocently. “Well, I just asked your mom.”
