Several minutes earlier…..

As soon as she passed the entrance, Ava’s face changed. Her breathing was heavy, her steps slowed.

“How could he say we were going to get married? When did he

propose to me? No-let alone proposing, he never even confessed his love.”

With pursed lips, Ava looked back. Jeremy looked like he was being lectured by his mother. The two toddlers there also looked

patronizing.

“But is he really that stupid?” Her speech now sounded pitiful. “He must have made the decision without thinking twice. Marrying me would be the same as destroying his reputation and future. Didn’t he think about that?”

Then, with her head bowed, Ava continued walking. “He should learn from the incident at the boutique earlier. He should look for a partner who is comparable to him, not a girl like me.”

After a long sigh, Ava straightened her head. “Reality is not as beautiful as a fairy tale. Princes and commoners will not be able to live happily. Their peace will definitely be disturbed by people’s sarcasm.”

Clenching her fists, Ava walked quickly towards her mother’s room. She wanted to forget the sweet promise that Jeremy offered. She didn’t want to be lulled even for a moment.

But who would have thought, when she entered the room, her wish immediately came true. The presence of a man had captured all his attention.

Ava blinked confusedly. “You….”

“Have you forgotten me?” The man smiled sweetly and extended his hand. “Bryan Thompson.”

“Oh!” Ava shook his hand excitedly. “Senior Bryan. Sorry, I didn’t mean

to forget you. I just had a lot on my mind, so it’s a bit difficult to remember names.”

The man laughed warmly. “Don’t be formal when talking to me. Just relax. Besides, I’m not your senior anymore.”
