Ch-121. One chance to marriage
Noah couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Eliana was saying everything he had always dreamt of saying to her, everything he had longed to ask for, but had never dared to utter. The fear of offending her, pushing her away and scaring her off had always held him back and stopped him from opening his mouth where he felt like already, he was barely being tolerated.But now, here she was, speaking the very words he had kept locked in his heart, words he had wanted to shout from the rooftops, in the hope of hearing a "yes" from Eliana, in return.And yet, he stood there, speechless, struggling to believe whether this was his reality or the most beautiful dream of his life.Eliana’s hesitant voice cut through his thoughts, as she spoke up after he had been silent for almost two minutes straight. “It’s totally okay, Noah, if you don’t want the same. I can understand if you don’t. After all, it won't be easy to accept my proposal. You might have the doubt that I’m only saying all this becau

Ch-122. New morning
The next morning, Noah stirred awake at his usual. Except for one thing that definitely wasn't per usual: as soon as he opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Eliana, sleeping peacefully in his arms.If he had been capable of stopping the flow of time, he would have captured the seconds in the palm of his hand and stopped it, right there and then.But unfortunately, he did not have this power… nor had he forgotten what his grandpa had told him yesterday about the changes he wanted around the house.It was a good thing that he had already told the chef about what they wanted for breakfast, so that he could have a few more minutes with Eliana.But he noticed the clock placed on her beside, and it was already eight. He knew he had to wake Eliana up, otherwise, they were going to be late._________An hour and a half later, they were just finishing up their breakfast of a colorful platter of freshly sliced seasonal fruits, including watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, berries, and kiwi, garnish

Ch-123. My boss
All the eyes turned to Eliana, and she started to speak in a cheerful tone to cover up her discomfort;“I just wanted to say, how thankful I am that you both could come here today. I have admired your work for a long time, and I can’t wait to see what you have in mind for us. So thank you for taking out time from your busy schedules, it is such an honor…”Eliana stopped speaking abruptly; feeling like she was just rambling on. She then smiled, trying to mask her self- consciousness, which was rising rapidly because of the tense silence. Finally, Eva turned to Eliana, giving her a polite, if somewhat distracted, smile."Thank you, Miss Frost." Her sharp eyes quickly darted back to Noah before she added, "It is no problem at all, in fact, I'm quite excited to be here…”Eliana felt herself getting awkward due to how bold and straightforward Eva was. Meanwhile, Edward didn't remove his eyes from Noah for even a second and said with a crooked smile,“You’re so lucky, Mr. Turner. Eliana is

Ch-124. Classy
Ed stood in the middle of Eliana's closet, hands on his hips, surveying the rows of clothes with a critical eye. He scrunched his nose as if her clothes had done something to offend him on a personal level, while he muttered under his breath. “Darling, no, no, no… this won’t do at all.”He grabbed a plain, long white linen dress off the rack, holding it up as if it was something infectious that might contaminate him next. “This? Really?" Eliana cringed as he tossed the dress aside as he stood by the door, wringing her hands. The dress landed onto the growing pile of clothes on the floor, where nearly ninety percent of her wardrobe now lay discarded. "And this? Please, tell me this was a gift…" He sighed, chucking another plain, shapeless brown dress without waiting for a response.Eliana’s face flushed with embarrassment. She crossed her arms, trying to shield herself from his ruthless critique, but each garment he rejected felt like a personal insult. And yet, she couldn't sa

Ch-125. Paying attention
Noah lifted his eyes, and in that instant, Eliana quickly looked away, unable to face the intensity in his gaze. Her heart raced as she tried to compose herself, forcing herself to focus on anything else to distract her mind. Her eyes finally landed on the striped silk tie he was wearing. It was a little lopsided, feeling the urge to fix it for him, she took a step forward. In the meantime, Eva, who was standing beside Noah, turned towards him after finishing a conversation with her assistant. She noticed the crooked tie too and, with a confident stride, stepped in front of him. Eliana stopped in her tracks, as if she had frozen in time, watching the scene in front of her. Eva reached up, her long fingers expertly adjusting the fabric. She brought face close to Noah's, seemingly absorbed in her task. Noah, noticing her proximity, assumed that she was simply focused on making sure he looked presentable. He tilted his chin up slightly, giving her more space. Eliana's gaze snapped

Ch-126. My wife
No sooner had Eliana heard this question, it seemed to break the dam of her patience and she began to spill everything. “I– I was paying attention, Noah! But I’ve been feeling... strange. Jealous, almost. I mean, since the moment they both started to roam around you and the way they were smiling and staring while talking to you, I felt this... this jealousy. And then, when Eva stepped in to fix your tie, I felt this strange, burning sensation in my chest, like... like acidity… but it wasn’t that! It was like something—”She stopped mid -sentence when she noticed Noah’s expression. His lips were twitching, like he was clearly trying to hold in his laughter but failing miserably. The moment she saw him pressing his lips together, his shoulders shaking slightly, he also burst out laughing, unable to contain it any longer.Feeling offended and embarrassed, she glared at him, crossing her arms over her chest. “What are you laughing about? Is this funny to you?” Noah, still chuckling, p

Ch-127. One step back
Viola wasn't expecting this reply from Noah at all. She was perfectly sure that now… when Noah is already getting everything from his inheritance in his own hands, just like they had told him, he would take no time to divorce his wife. Or at least, make her stay back at her parents'; in Viola’s eyes, there was no reason for him to stick to that Frost family anymore. After all, they didn't even lie in the top ten percent of the elites of the country, and his wife… Viola had already done a background check on her, and she wasn't particularly wealthy, either.Apart from this, Viola already had a plan in her mind regarding this, so how could she just let Noah fulfill all his wishes over the graves of her own desires?He had already done enough to trouble them, and had been making them follow his words, knowing very well that they didn't have any other option apart from obeying him right now. But Viola wasn't a naive player either, who would just lose from a noob like Noah!After all, i

Ch-128. I love you!
As soon as the staff left, Noah turned towards Eliana, taking a deep breath. This was it, his opportunity to come clean about his life. There would be no better time than this, and even if there was supposed to be a more perfect window of time, Noah didn't have the luxury to wait for it to arrive.He had to tell her about the other members of his family apart from his grandfather, whom she had already met, as well as the history of his family.After that, they also needed to go to the market to buy something for this welcome quest… otherwise he knew his aunt very well.Because even though she was saying that it was his own house where he was returning and he can bring anyone there, at any time, but the moment he would step through the door empty handed, Viola would be the first one to taunt him and the person accompanying him there.But it wasn't the major problem on his mind, because he also knew no matter whatever the person is going to bring for her, she was going to taunt them an

Ch-129. Lotus Jewels
Noah heard Stuart's voice and he realized the blunders he had made, one by one, in great detail.“If the sky falling off can be considered as a situation, then consider I am stuck in one of those–”“What happened now?” Stuart asked, getting curious and slightly worried. But before he could have asked anything or prodded him further, Noah spoke up. “I somehow told Eliana the truth, and at the same time, I realized that I haven't gifted her any jewelry or any gift for that matter till now–”“You told her about the family?”Stuart spoke, getting stuck at the first sentence about telling Eliana the truth. As soon as he completed the his question, Noah answered immediately. “Not about the family… I told her that I love her–”“What do you mean?”Stuart asked, getting more confused than ever. Noah didn't realize his confusion and added;“Yes, I have somehow slipped up about the matter and told her that I love her–”“Noah, wait a minute, isn't she your wife already?”Finally, Stuart had ca

Ch-130. Your fault
The three assistants retreated to their respective counters with unspoken complaints in their eyes while the woman stepped forward with a professional smile, her eyes now on Stuart and Noah. She was clearly the kind of person used to dealing with high-end clients.The woman gave Stuart a professional smile, her gaze sweeping over Noah with a hint of approval.“It’s a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Langdon. I am assuming this young gentleman is a guest of yours?”Before Stuart could reply, Noah answered,“Yes, I’m his nephew.”Stuart quickly followed suit, “Mrs. Corvette, I assured my nephew you would help him find the perfect piece for his wife.”Mrs. Corvette’s eyes sparkled with pleasure at the compliment. “Of course! Please, follow me to that counter.”She led them to a more secluded area of the showroom, where they could browse in peace; Noah and Stuart took their seats at the counter.“I’ll get you started with some refreshments,” she said, then turned to a nearby assistant. “L
