Chapter 2083

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you!” Emmanuel chuckled, quickly backing

away from Ashton, fully aware that her temper was as fiery as it was

unpredictable. They’d scrapped in the past, but now that she was like a sister

to him, he figured it wouldn’t be fair to bully her.

Ashton huffed and turned her face away, not saying a word.

Emmanuel continued, “If you want to get in, I’ll take you. But what are you

“Mr. Lowe, welcome! It’s great to have you here to witness Nath’s big day!”

Audrey, Nathan’s sixth sister, greeted Emmanuel with a warm smile.

Apart from the eldest, the Chapman sisters had gathered to oversee the

event to ensure the party was nothing short of spectacular.

“Thank you. Where’s Nath?” Emmanuel asked directly. He wanted to catch up
