After having barbecue, Ethan and I slowly walked home against the biting cold wind.
A gust of cold wind blew past, and my body shivered slightly.
Ethan tightened his arm, pulling me into his warm embrace.
Ethan carried me through the front door. The heating inside was strong, dispelling the chill from our bodies.
My parents were already waiting in the living room.
“Aria, Ive already given orders,”
Dad’s voice was steady and firm, with a hint of unquestionable authority.
“Blake Sullivan and Olivia are not allowed to step foot in our house again. If they dare to come and harass us, the bodyguards will drive them away immediately
I forced a smile. After I got together with Ethan, the James family had cut all ties with the Sullivan family.
in the days that followed, Ethan continued to care for me attentively, almost becoming my shadow.
He would wait outside my house early every morning, rain or shine.
Even if I slept in due to insomnia the night before, he never complained, just quietly waiting nearby, his eyes full of tenderness and patience.
At night, no matter how busy or tired he was from work, he would always make time to tell me a bedtime story.
He even thoughtfully bought a massage device and would personally massage me overy night before bed, relieving the tension from my day.
A cup of hot milk was always a must, warm and sweet.
My bedroom was already full of gifts from Ethan.
Bags jewelry, accessories… a dazzling array worth a fortune.
But my favorite was still the clumsy stuffed toy he made himself.
ok, doesnt this little rabbit look like me?”
He childishly stuffed a pink rabbit into my arms, his face bearing an expectant smile.

During afternoon tea, my girlfriends surrounded me, enviously discussing my happiness.
“Aria, you’re so lucky. Not only are you beautiful and from a good family, but your boyfriend is also one in a million!”,
“That’s right, he’s practically treating you like a princess. When will we ever have such good fortune!”
Two weeks later, Ethan formally invited me to visit his family, saying it was to meet the parents and discuss our marriage.
My heart suddenly became nervous. I anxiously twisted my fingers, my palms slightly sweaty.
Ethan seemed to sense my nervousness. He held my hand, enveloping it in his w

“Don’t worry. You’re perfect in every way – gentle, kind, beautiful, and graceful. Marrying you is the greatest blessing of my life. My parents definitely like you.”
When we arrived at Ethan’s home, his parents warmly welcomed me, constantly asking about my well–being and telling me many interesting stories from Ethan’s childhood.
His mother held my hand.
“Aria, we’re so happy you’ve come to our home. Eth
for our Grant family”
His father also smiled and chimed in,
has liked you since he was little. Marrying a good girl like you is truly a great blessing
“Yes, yes, Aria is clearly a good girl, sensible and graceful. We all like you very much. Just treat this place as your own home, don’t be formal.”
I was surprised to find a photo of Ethan and me from kindergarten on his desk,
Under my questioning, he finally admitted that he had been secretly in love with me for years.
it’s just that before, I was so focused on Blake that he could only silently hide his love for me in his heart.
After meeting the parents, Ethan and I began to officially prepare for the wedding.
We went to bridal shops together to choose wedding dresses and to jewelry stores to select wedding rings.
We discussed our life after marriage.
“Does this wedding dress look good?”
I turned around, asking Ethan who was standing behind me.
He suddenly picked me up and spun me around.
Finally, he placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.
