EARLIER, the church was full of noise as the guests chit-chatted among themselves, creating a lively buzz. But as soon as August spoke, an eerie silence swept across the room. Tension crackled in the air, thick and oppressive.
“Who is he?”
“How can he ask someone’s fiance to marry him?”
“Is he crazy?”
The visitors' whispers and inquiries about August were like daggers, stabbing into him. However, August found it ridiculous that nobody had recognized him until now.

As the door to the middle was opened, August assisted Daphne to get in the car first, and he followed afterward.“To the Remington mansion,” August commanded Nicollo, the driver of the limousine for tonight.“Yes, young master,” Nicollo answered.

He had just taken a spoonful of soup, which was August’s cooking, and it seemed to have gone down the wrong way.“Father!” Bruce and Samantha called in unison as they tried to make Jake stop from coughing.Samantha lightly caressed and hit Jake’s back, while Bruce took the water from the side and immediately gave it to Jake, which the latter drank in three gulps.It looked like Jake wanted to say something, but he was saving his energy to calm himself down first.
