Chapter 614: Chapter 614



“Wow, it’s so beautiful! Mom and Dad are so romantic!”

Inside the car, Dunn’s attention was briefly caught by Aurora’s voice. He turned to look back, but their car had already rounded the corner, and he could see nothing. A pang of something—curiosity, perhaps regret—flitted through him.

“Dunn, what’s wrong?” Fred inquired, noticing his son’s distant look via the rearview mirror.

“Nothing,” Dunn replied, though his voice betrayed a hint of distraction. He then changed the subject.

“Dad, how’s Auntie doing?”

Fred’s response came with a hint of concern.

“She hasn’t been discharged yet.”

Gracie sighed deeply, her frustration evident.

“I don’t know what’s going on with Mila. Ever since she married Niko, it seems like accidents happen almost every other day.”

Fred nodded affirmatively “Yes. Luckily, Niko has been steadfast by her side.”

Dunn looked out the window, his features settling into a calmness that rivaled the tranquil night.

Meanwhile, Adrian’s grand gesture wasn’t just limited to televised declarations. He had also organized a spectacular fireworks display.

As Fannie watched it unfold on the television, Dulce leaned forward, resting her chin in her hand, completely entranced.

“So romantic! Hey, who was that guy who gave Adrian the ring? He’s incredibly handsome!”

Fannie paused, trying to recall. “I think his name is Michael. Joelle usually calls him that.”

Dulce asked quickly, “Does he have a girlfriend?”

As Fannie pondered this, Jett emerged from the study with a timely interruption.

“Dulce, it’s time to switch off the TV and come to dinner.”

“Okay!” Dulce responded with a hint of reluctance.

Jett then addressed Fannie.

“Fifi, go wash your hands.”

“Okay.”

In the privacy of the bathroom, Fannie leaned in and whispered to Dulce, “Do you know why your parents invited me over tonight?”

Dulce shrugged slightly. “Not sure; maybe they just wanted to see you.”

When Fannie emerged from the bathroom, she was greeted by an unexpected sight.

“Dad, Mom, you’re here too?”

It was a rare occurrence for Fannie’s parents to be present without prior arrangements. She typically had to book time through their secretary to even share a meal with them. Given their hectic schedules and her desire not to impose, such moments were few and far between.
