Chapter 2
The overwhelming trending topic dominated the screen.
“Childhood sweethearts‘ love.”
“A talented man and a beautiful woman.”
“They made us believe in love.”
I was watching when a phone call came in. I looked and it was Caleb. He asked me gently and calmly on the other end of the phone, “Do I need to deal with the trending topic?”
I laughed and said, “No need, anyway it’s no longer my concern. There’s no need to spend our
money on someone else.”
He also laughed, “Yes, we can’t waste our money. Let’s go together today to try on wedding dresses. The dresses that were air–shipped yesterday have arrived.”
I decided to get engaged with him just yesterday, and the wedding dress was air–freighted this morning. I was speechless, but also touched. Since Ethan and I decided to get engaged, I have been taking care of everything. He never considers whether I will be tired, except for impatiently saying a few words to me.
But now, Caleb has been actively demonstrating what a groom–to–be should look like.
The dress that Caleb quickly shipped back from abroad was actually exactly my size. The designer who followed said with a smile, “Mr. Cooper let me come over for sure. If it doesn’t fit well, I will make adjustments on the spot for you. I am also under a lot of pressure, and seeing you makes me understand why Mr. Cooper is so nervous. He really loves you, doesn’t he?”
“Mr. Cooper said that I would also design the wedding dress. I had to take the measurements of the bride, and I had designed a few options. You can take a look and see which one you like.”
I blushed, while Caleb laughed mysteriously beside me.
After trying on dresses and jewelry all day, I returned home exhausted. Just as I sat down, I received a call from Ethan, “Where are you? Why haven’t you come yet? Do you want everyone to wait for you to be happy?”
I was completely confused, “Where to?”
Ethan sneered on the other end, “Sure, Evelyn, have you learned to play dumb now? I messaged you earlier, informing you that Ava is returning to the country today. I organized a welcome dinner for her, and she said she wants you to come along. Hurry up and come over, I sent you the location.”
I opened my phone and indeed there was a message from Ethan in the afternoon, but I didn’t look at
it at all.
Chapter 2
Ethan sent a location and a voice message, it was Ava’s voice, “Evelyn, we haven’t seen each other for several years, let’s hang out together, you don’t mind my relationship with Ethan, do you?”
Ethan snatched the phone and sent a voice message, saying, “Evelyn, if you don’t come over, I won’t give you the painting I promised.”
I hesitated. Ethan had once painted an oil painting, which I had always wanted. He had promised to give it to me, but he never delivered it to me. He used this painting to blackmail me. I stood up and said, “Go ahead, anyway, it will be over in a few more disgusting days.”
When I arrived at the restaurant, they had already started drinking. Ava and Ethan were sitting at the main table, perfectly matched like a perfect couple.
Seeing me come in, Ava pretended to stand up and said, “Evelyn is here, come, sit here.” Then she moved to a nearby seat.
Ethan grabbed her arm and said, “She can sit anywhere, but you sit here. Today, you are the protagonist.”
Ava looked at me apologetically, “I’m sorry, Evelyn, Ethan had a few drinks and got a little drunk.”
I randomly found a seat and sat down. “It doesn’t matter,” Ethan said, “Today, you are the protagonist.‘

Ethan’s friend started to make a fuss on the side, saying, “Alright, it’s true that Ethan went to pick up someone today. You two are really a perfect match. I was stunned when I saw those trending photos.”
“You two really should have been together, it was such a pity that you separated before. Now that Ava has returned to her home country for development, you can completely start over.”
