Chapter 263

Hugh's casual remark, paired with his intimate yet familiar touch, instantly silenced the entire venue.

"Wife?" A sharp, disbelieving cry pierced through the air.

Then, the ballroom erupted in hushed murmurs.

"Mr. Larson is already married?"

"But we never saw a wedding! Did he just apply for the marriage certificate without holding a ceremony?"

"No wonder the Larson family hinted at a big announcement tonight-turns out they were preparing everyone in advance. Mr. Larson is already taken!"

"Is this really the same cold and distant Mr. Larson? Why does he look so gentle when he looks at Ms. Jansen?"

"Besides, tonight is an important occasion. Tell me, who else but Serena is worthy of standing by my side?"
