"Hm ..." Claudia thought for a moment, watching Faye bowed in regret. She smiled gently watching her daughter's attitude changed slightly in response to their fight, but turned mischievous when her eyes fixed on Denis, "if you insist, Mama will forgive you on the condition you have to give Mama cute grandchildren~"
Faye straightened up, her lips were silent.
Don't imagine.
Don't imagine.
Baby boy with wavy brown hair ...
"Ugh."
Claudia laughed as if she knew what Faye was thinking.
"Hm ... grandchildren are too fast for me, Claudia," Aiden said, "especially when Denis looks younger for my daughter's taste," he continued staring at Denis.
This is bad.
Her father realized that Faye's taste was not a younger man, of course, Aiden knew about that, every time she got a new boyfriend, she always asked her father's opinion, whether it was suitable or not.
"Isn't that great? It shows that love is unconditional, Mr. Grace," said Denis.
"You're right Denis, love does not look at age or anything," Aiden agreed, then turned around, and said, "Thank you for coming this special evening, I know some of you already know this news that my only daughter Faye Grace has given up her bachelorette. I also welcome my new family, Denis."
All the guests applauded.
So far the show hasn't been bad. Maybe Faye is thinking too far?
Everyone came to the Faye family to congratulate them, including Denis.
Faye smiled sweetly in response to the people who were chatting with him, until finally, her eyes caught a familiar figure, James.
'What's James doing here?'
James didn't approach her, preferring to drink in the corner of the room alone, even though his eyes were on Faye looking ... mocking?
Why did she feel that there was something wrong with the look in James's eyes ...?
Faye chose to get rid of this strange feeling, then continued to welcome her father's business partner again.
***
This is far from what Faye imagined.
It's annoying that she has to hear everyone congratulate her on her fake marriage, she has to pretend to be the happiest woman in the world by putting on her fake smile. She was only able to get freedom when it was getting late.
Faye immediately chose to drink alone while watching the guests enjoying their conversation. She found it strange that there was no extended family.
Maybe they can't come?
Faye decided to drink on the second floor which was a little quiet while holding a glass of champagne. She glanced down and found Denis talking to some of Aiden's business partners.
Her father and mother also participated there.
They are very close.
With this view, it is clear that Denis has managed to win Aiden's heart with his charisma.
Previously, Faye also joined in the conversation and was surprised to find out that Denis was very knowledgeable about business, too understanding in fact like he had done business before.
Faye took a sip of her drink desperately. With this also, the contract marriage continues according to the end of the agreement she made.
Faye thought Aiden would not like Denis considering he was unemployed, and if she was lucky, her father would ask them to divorce like most dramas, in fact, it was beyond her expectations.
"Ugh ..." Faye groaned annoyed that her drink had run out. She walked down the stairs about to get another drink, but her intention stopped after seeing an unusual sight in her eyes.
James with Mia? Did they walk out of the back building? What happened? Why is she with James? Was there something between them that he didn't know?
'I need to know.'
Faye took a glass from the tray the waiter brought, drank it in one sip, then followed Mia's direction earlier. The cold air suddenly touched her skin and made her shiver a little because of it.
Unexpectedly behind the building, there is a small garden with green grass, but it is quiet here, maybe because it is cold and there is no food and drink so no one wants to be outside even though the view of the night sky is very beautiful with a full moon.
Faye looks for Mia and James's whereabouts. She walked slowly deeper into the garden, but there was nothing, just a large courtyard with a fountain in the middle.
'Maybe Mia is back ...?'
Faye was about to return to the building when she turned around, her eyes accidentally caught two related shadows from the side of the building. Curious, she walked over and was surprised at the erotic scene before her.
