Yrian’s house was enormous, with classic and picturesque structures that gave the feel of a garden. It was so expansive that it was easy to lose your way inside.
Yrian’s mother embodied the image of a classic lady of high society.
She wore a brocade dress and had a soft, welcoming smile. Despite being close to 50, she still looked striking.
It was obvious that she had been a beauty in her younger days, and Yrian had inherited her graceful nature and appearance.
“Are you Stephie? Yrian mentions you every day, and it’s such a pleasure to finally meet you in person.” Yrian’s mother, Melanie Lynch, greeted me warmly, holding my hand as she chatted with me for a while.
“By the way, Stephie, when are you and Yrian planning to get married?”
The topic of marriage caught me off guard, and I almost spilled my tea.
Meeting the parents was fast enough, and now they were already talking about marriage?
“Yrian’s grandfather is not doing well and is still in the hospital. His biggest wish is to see Yrian get married.”
“Mom, you’re scaring Stephie,” Yrian responded.
He held my hand gently and tried to comfort me, “Don’t worry, Grandpa will live a long time.”
“The doctors have said he likely won’t make it past next month. You…
wiping away tears as she sobbed softly.
” Melanie paused, then turned away,
I bit my lip, as if making up my mind, and softly murmured, “If Yrian wants to, I am also willing to marry
him.”
“Stephie, are you serious?”
Yrian was overjoyed, even more than when I agreed to meet his parents. around on the spot.
The wedding was planned in a hurry, yet despite the rush, everything,
He picked me up and spun me
done magnificently.
I felt deeply thankful that the Lynches accepted my past, especially my divorce. They not only picked the most extravagant wedding dress for me but also invited nearly everyone in Arrowmond to the celebration.
Among the guests, of course, was the Stones.
But for some reason, as the wedding day drew nearer, I couldn’t stop thinking about Maverick.
He must have already known about my marriage to Yrian. What’s going through his mind right now? Is he waiting for death or doing something else?
Mabel was my bridesmaid. On the wedding day, she stayed by my side the entire time.
“Stephie, I never imagined that I’d get to be your bridesmaid twice!”
She teased while fiddling with my veil.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake and quickly apologized.
“I’m so sorry, Stephie! I didn’t mean it that way, I’m truly happy for you. Yrian is a wonderful person. He’ll treat you well, and you’ll definitely be happy!”
“Thanks, Mabel.”
I looked at Mabel’s excited reflection in the mirror, and forced a smile.
Noticing that I seemed upset, Mabel sat down next to me.
“Stephie, don’t tell me you’re still thinking about Maverick.”
She really was my best friend. There was no hiding anything from her.
But honestly, I couldn’t help but wonder. Is Maverick really going to die?
W
Was what Eva said true, that Maverick didn’t cause the fire? Who could have been responsible for it? Was it truly an accident?
“That day, Maverick’s secretary came to me and said that Maverick was dying.”
Mabel fell silent, her gaze avoiding mine.
I knew she was hiding something, so I quickly grabbed her hand and asked, “Do you know something you’re not telling me?”
“Stephie, you’re about to get married, and Maverick’s situation doesn’t concern you anymore. Even if … if he really is dying, it has nothing to do with you.”
“Do you know if he’s really dying?”
Mabel was never good at hiding things. I could tell she had known about this for quite a while.
“Yes, it’s been reported in the news. I think everyone here for your wedding today is aware of it.”
Mabel held my hand tightly and said with determination, “Since you already knew and didn’t plan on seeing him, it means Maverick no longer matters to you, right? Yrian is the one who matters most to you!”
I stared at Mabel, my mind racing with thoughts.
So, Eva wasn’t lying to me. Maverick really is dying?
