Chapter 158: Surprise!

Stefan went silent, weighing everything.

Elizabeth continued, her tone softening. "Besides, she deserves this, Stefan. After all she’s been through—being dragged into this mess, the pregnancy, the media frenzy... give her the fairytale, please."

"Let’s do it, then. Let’s plan it in three weeks. But I want this one bigger. Better. Grand. I want her to feel like the most loved woman on earth."

Elizabeth chuckled softly. "Now that, I can make happen."

Ruby tilted her head. "Was it about the video?"

"Some of it," he admitted. "But also... we’ve got a party to attend. A business anniversary."

Stefan smiled, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "And after that..."

"After that?" she echoed.

He grinned. "You’ll see."
