“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.

“Tch, just call it off.” Ron’s smile began to fall away.

He had come here today to congratulate Ian and Leah. He may have been uncomfortable with Ian getting what he wanted, but if Ian could offer Leah the happy life she deserved, Ron had no choice but to accept it.

“Deliver a message to Mrs. Sanders. Have her dismiss the guests.” With that, she sped out through the door.

Seeing this, Ron chased after Leah without hesitation.
