hapter 51

After several days of continuous autumn rain, the sky finally cleared on the day of the engagement party.

At the Winters estate, everyone had risen early for Thalia’s big day. Even Laicy, who typically loved sleeping in, had gotten up and donned a festive pastel blue dress for the occasion.

In Thalia’s bedroom, a professional styling team was at work. She wore an elegant cream–colored gown with delicate embroidery and pearl detailing. Her hair was elegantly arranged in a sophisticated updo adorned with subtle diamond pins.

Lucy leaned against the dressing table, tilting her head as she watched Thalia with bright eyes. “You look like a princess today, Thalia,” she said in her sweet, childish voice.

Thalia smiled softly, reaching out to affectionately touch Lucy’s cheek.

Lucy’s round little face suddenly clouded with worry. She furrowed her brow and asked, “After you get married, will you still come home often?”

Thalia paused, surprised by the question.

-She hadn’t expected Lucy to ask something like that.

Her lips curved into a gentle smile, eyes twinkling. “Of course I will. The Blackwood estate is so close to ours–I can visit whenever I like.”

“Hmph, you’re fibbing,” Lucy pouted. “You don’t come home every day now. How can you possibly come back regularly after you marry Asher?”

Thalia laughed. “I have to work, sweetheart. That’s why I can’t always be home now.”

Lucy held out her little finger. “Pinky promise you’ll come home to see me.”

Thalia smiled–clearly children weren’t so easily fooled.

She extended her own pinky finger. “I can’t promise every day, but I promise to visit whenever I can. I’ll come home often, all right?”

Lucy nodded happily. “All right.”

Thalia linked her pinky with Lucy’s, smiling warmly at her half–sister.

The engagement ceremony was set to take place at the Blackwoods‘ private estate in the northern countryside.

Early that morning, Asher personally drove to pick up Thalia.

Randolph and Victoria had dressed formally for the occasion and were waiting in the downstairs sitting

room.

Randolph’s face lit up when he saw Asher arrive. He rose eagerly to greet him: “Asher, welcome! Thalia will be down in just a moment.”

Victoria stood beside him, her smile warm and genuine.

She was truly happy today. Though Thalia wasn’t her biological daughter, in her heart, she loved her just the same.
