After the engagement, Rick stayed to see off the guests while Anne took Charlotte home. He was afraid if they stayed longer something might happen due to the threat. He would feel much better if they were both at home.

After the last person left, Rick stared at the empty church hall. He didn't feel as happy as he had imagined.

Everyone had witnessed him fulfil his wish and realised his dreams. He shouldn't be in such a low mood.

His phone vibrated in his pocket. He quickly collected his thoughts and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"It's done," It was Shane.

Rick smiled. "Yes, it's done."

Shane was standing in a tall building in the capital of another country. He looked out at the skyscrapers and said, "I mean I'm done with my business. You can have your shares back." "Do I look like someone who makes vain promises?"

"True gold fears no flame."

What he meant was someone of integrity would not be afraid of any accusation.

Rick looked at the white rose in his hand. He felt Shane was really very interesting.

If Shane did not accept his offer and announced the truth about Sheryl at the ceremony, he would be deemed a hypocrite. So, he had no choice but to accept his situation.

However, if Shane took all of his shares because of this, he would no longer be a man of honour.

So the gentleman thing to do was take the shares and complete his goal, then offer to return Rick the shares.

"I also don't want to be the bad guy. Just think of it as helping me manage my finances."

"Are we that close?"

"In the future, I will be taking care of your daughter for you."

Shane kept quiet for some time before saying, "Take good care of them."

Rick was about to answer "I will", but Shane had already ended the call. He ended it so quickly it was as if he was afraid of hearing the answer.

Rick was stunned for a moment, then put his phone back in his pocket. He should go home.

A home where she's at.
