“What? Aren’t you going to go?” Ron seemed to catch on to what was on her mind and offered her an indifferent smile as he leaned against the dresser. “Or you can announce that the party is off.”

Leah immediately rejected the idea. “No.”

Ian hasn’t shown up. How could it just be canceled? This engagement party was not only a chance to fulfill Ian’s wish, but also a chance for her to start over.

Seeing this, Ron chased after Leah without hesitation.
