Ethan had cooked a few dishes, just enough for the two of them."Have a taste of this," Ethan said, handing Madelyn a piece of honey-flavored pork rib.Madelyn took a bite and exclaimed, "Yummy!""Yeah, I made all your favorites," he replied with a smile.Madelyn thought, 'His cooking is always delicious.'After dinner, Madelyn went to Ethan's study. He was working on important stuff for his company, and she quietly focused on her practice papers. Even though she wasn't going to regular classes, she had her own study plan. The current class progress didn't matter much to Madelyn. She had a goal to boost her grades in just two months, and it was proving to be a bit tough.But because she already had a good foundation in her subjects, it wouldn't be too hard, just a little challenging.Ethan had his headphones on, listening to Leyton's report. "Mr. Arnold, about the dress for the engagement, should we arrange for the designer to meet with Miss Jent this weekend for her to choose?

"I say I'll always be by your side forever. If you don't like him, you shouldn't force yourself."Madelyn sat up, "I think I do like him, but it's just taking me some time to get used to it. I... I don't know. What about you? Do you like him?""It's your choice. As long as you like him, I will accept him.""I don't even know if this is the right thing to do. What about you... did you like Father? How did you get together in the first place?"In an instant, the figure by the bed didn't answer and disappeared.The next morning, the first rays of light broke through.These past few days had been calm, without a single ripple. However, the calmer it was, the harder it was for Madelyn to find peace of mind.This weekend, Madelyn had hoped to sleep in, but the commotion of a servant knocking at her door disturbed her."Miss Jent, it's time to wake up. Mr. Arnold is waiting for you downstairs.""Alright," Madelyn mumbled groggily, then quickly turned over and went back to sleep.The

"Am I still your father? For something as big as your engagement, you didn't even bother to call me?" Hayson asked.Madelyn mumbled her response.Hayson rarely talked to her, and lately, he had only called a few times. Usually, Zach handled things when there were issues. 'He must be calling just to look like a good father in front of Ethan.'She said quickly, "I'm sorry, Father. I was gonna tell everyone in a few days. How are you and Jasmine?""We're good. But you should have hid your engagement from me. We'll talk more when I'm back.""I..." Madelyn's heart raced, and she looked at Ethan for help.Ethan reached for her phone and smiled, "I've got this. You go freshen up."Madelyn nodded without saying anything and handed her phone to Ethan. Then, she rushed into the bathroom and splashed her face with cold water to wake herself up completely. She splashed her face with cold water to wake herself up completely. At first, she thought Ethan was just making a casual remark about

The makeup artist asked, "Miss Jent, do you have any specific makeup you want?""Specific makeup?""Yeah, it's for your engagement. We're trying out your makeup look.""I see." Madelyn looked down, lost in thought.The makeup artist explained, "We're going to try out your whole look, including your hairstyle, for your engagement. If you don't like something, we can change it.""Okay."Madelyn's skin was already flawless, so she didn't need much foundation. Her soft features and creamy skin had a special charm. She had a natural beauty that could wow anyone, like a beautiful rose, both attractive and elegant. Her body, style, and clothes made her stand out easily. It was clear that as she got older, she would make a lot of guys go wild.It took two whole hours for styling and makeup, and by the end, Madelyn was almost falling asleep."Miss Jent, you can take a look now. Do you like it?""It's alright. What do you all think?"Both the stylists and makeup artists were in awe of

"Don't you think it's too early for wedding dress shopping, Ethan? We're not even engaged yet," Madelyn asked.Ethan replied gently, "Nah, it's never too early for that. Getting engaged and married is just a matter of time."The manager noticed something was up between them and gave a friendly smile. "Miss Jent has a point. She's still growing, and if we order the dress now, it might not fit properly even after fitting sessions later. That wouldn't be ideal for the big day. How about we wait until you've set a wedding date?"Ethan ran his thumb along the back of Madelyn's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "That sounds like a plan. Let's wait for your father to get here today, finalize the wedding details, and then we can go find that perfect dress."Madelyn beamed, "Sounds good to me!"Meanwhile, Kevin knocked on the door and walked into Zach's office at Azure Corporation. "Mr. Jardin, there are some papers that need your signature for the construction costs."Zach glanced at

Wincy Burton came over and slammed her hands on Zach's desk. She was really bold. "Zach Jardin, twenty-six years old, godson adopted by Hayson Jent. "You sponsored a pretty student from a music academy, and she somehow died at a ski resort last year after an argument with you. "Two months ago, you handed over Alma's development rights to my brother. You also made a deal with Regal Corporation for Alma's development, but it's only supposed to last three months. Oddly enough, my brother ended up in jail, and the day before you visited him, he died mysteriously in there."Kevin didn't look happy. "Miss Burton, please mind your words. This is a workplace. If you keep causing a scene, we can call the police."Wincy grinned. "Sure, call them! Let the cops investigate my brother's case properly. He was perfectly fine, so why was he arrested and then suddenly died?"Zach put down his papers and told Kevin, "Please leave."Kevin nodded and left, closing the door behind him.Zach stood

To Wincy's surprise, Zach appeared to discern something with just a single glance. She had undergone plastic surgery. She hadn't anticipated that there was someone who resembled her new appearance. Recently, she had some work done on her eyes, so they were slightly swollen, but one would have to scrutinize closely to notice.Trying not to look too nervous, Wincy crossed her arms and acted cool. "Do we know each other?" She spotted some papers with her pictures on his desk and couldn't help but ask, "How much do you know about me?"But before Zach could say anything, she grabbed the file folder and spilled the rest of the pictures and documents out.When she saw those photos, Wincy froze. They were all pictures of her from way back, dating back to before she had undergone plastic surgery, from her elementary school years to her college days.Her hands were shaking. "Wh-Where did you get these? How did you find my old pictures?""I told you, when you're checking out someone like me,

Leaving his office, Zach and Kevin headed to the meeting room.Around six-thirty in the evening, Madelyn didn't purposely dress up for the occasion. She wore a matching outfit with Ethan, which he had picked out.When Hayson and Jasmine arrived, Jasmine kindly held Madelyn's hand and they walked into the hall, saying, "I can't believe you're getting engaged so soon. I don't have anything special to give you. If you don't mind, take this bracelet. I bought it just for you.""Thank you, Jasmine," Madelyn didn't refuse the gift, though she felt a bit uneasy about it.Jasmine placed the bracelet around Madelyn's wrist. Its exquisite translucence shimmered in the light, and every intricate facet captured the gleam, hinting at its significant value.Madelyn thought, 'Father must've paid for it. Now that she's carrying the Jent family heir, Father's spoiling her, and she can buy anything she wants.'Jasmine was dressed in a sleek, form-fitting dark green dress today, exuding an air of e
