“Cameron, I couldn’t fall asleep after meeting Miss Wilson today.” Julieta’s timid voice came through the phone. “I know you’re getting engaged in two days, and calling you now isn’t very appropriate.
“But… Ever since I met her today, every time I close my eyes, I can’t help but think of that poor child who was destined to be without a chance with me.
“Cameron, I know I’m not worthy of you, and I never wanted to put you in a tough spot with your family because of me. Just tonight… can you talk to me for a while?”
When he heard Julieta’s voice, both wronged and trying to be strong, Cameron’s heart. softened. “Julieta, you’ve been through a lot.
“Don’t worry; even if I get engaged to Laura, it doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven her. Since she refuses to admit her mistakes, it shows the previous lessons weren’t enough.
“One day, I’ll make Grandpa and Mom see her true colors!”
The next day, while Desmond went to the company, Lynn invited Cameron’s mother to the hotel to go over the engagement process again. And while Brielle was out, Laural found her passport and called Bowen.
So, thanks to a special connection arranged by Marco, when Laura and Bowen met up and arrived at the marriage registry office, a staff member was already waiting for
them.
The signing process was super quick, taking just a couple of minutes. But when it came to taking the wedding photos, things got a bit tricky.
Watching Laura and Bowen standing in front of the curtain, the photographer, burdened with his heavy camera, was sweating profusely in his haste.
He’d taken many photos before, and these two were definitely the best–looking models he’d ever worked with. The handsome guy and beautiful girl were a perfect match.
But here was the thing–they needed to smile for their wedding photos.
Now, the girl had a smile, but her body was all tense. Her fists were clenched tight- clearly nervous.
And as for the guy, he had no expression at all–looking pretty cold.
Not only that, but there was so much space between them that you could fit another person in between.
If they took this photo as their w successfully unlocked! In’t be festive at all. No one would believe they weren’t forced manage.
“Uh, we’re taking wedding photos here. You two shouldn’t stand so far apart.” The photographer wiped his sweat and gave an awkward smile. “And, both of you, smile a

Just as Laura was lost in thought, a hand suddenly landed on her slender waist. Bowen pulled her close with a sudden tug.
The memory of that wild night, even after two days, still burned hot. Feeling the scorching heat of his hand on her waist and the familiar scent of cedar filling her nose, Laura let her thoughts drift, recalling the shivers that coursed through her as his hands caressed her body.
Noticing Laura’s slight stiffening in his embrace, Bowen tilted his head to look at her. Don’t be nervous.”
“Mmm…” When she came to her senses, Laura noticed that Bowen had no intention of removing his hand from her waist.
And not wanting to push him away in front of the photographer, Laura could only nod. shyly.
“Yes, just like that!” The photographer was grinning from ear to ear. “Look at the camera, Mr. Weaver, Ms. Wilson. Get a bit closer. Perfect, hold it!”
