Evan nodded and joined Caroline as they walked into the living room.

Meanwhile, the three children descended the stairs, and Kenny ended his call.

He told Caroline, “G, Evan was supposed to do this, yet I’m the one doing it now. Both of you are getting engaged, but I seem like the main character of this event.”

Caroline distributed forks to the children. “Who mentioned that the higher the quality of the wine, the better?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Kenny sniggered. “That was me!”

“Who suggested that I change the wine then?”

“That was me too.”

“Why bother with the snide comments if that’s the case?”

Kenny said, “I don’t fancy the wine arranged by the hotel. Evan, can you put a bit of effort into this?”

Evan darted him a look. “You’re still here, helping yourself to the work, right?”

Kenny said, “Fine then. I can never win an argument with you and your spouse.”

“Spouse…” Caroline blushed and grabbed a piece of apple, stuffing it into Kenny’s mouth. “Keep quiet, will you!”

Evan told Caroline, “I hope you’re not upset that I didn’t help out much.”

Caroline passed him a sliced orange. “Not really. The engagement is rushed, and you still have a bunch of work to do. Don’t let the menial tasks distract you.”

“This is not a menial task. This is the only engagement party in our lives,” Evan reminded.

Caroline relented. “Alright, you have the say.”

While munching on a strawberry, Liora asked, “Mommy, are you sure you don’t want to sleep early tonight, Mommy?”

“Why?” Caroline asked in astonishment.

“You should get some rest earlier, or you won’t be energetic tomorrow. Don’t you want to be a beautiful bride, Mommy?” said Tyler.

Caroline blushed from the children’s remarks. “I’m not a bride yet…”

“You’ll be a fiancee after the engagement tomorrow. That makes you half a bride,” Axel reminded her.

Kenny burst out in laughter. “Who taught you to say that? You kids know a lot, huh?”

Liora sniggered. “We learn about it online! Rest early tonight so you feel energetic and refreshed tomorrow, Mommy!”

Caroline said smilingly, “Alright. I’ll sleep early.”

At 10:00 p.m., Evan took the children to wash up while Caroline went to freshen up herself.

Ever since Evan’s identity as a father was revealed, he would always take over the task of taking care of the children, and Caroline was pleased about that.

After washing up, Caroline lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.

Evan entered the room and found Caroline asleep. He stared at her for a while before backing out of the room to call Reuben.

Reuben picked up soon. “Sir.”

Evan looked out the window and said, “Have you got everything ready as I requested?”

“Yes, sir! I’ve already notified the major media channels to release the good news about you and Ms.

Shenton! On the other hand, the bodyguards have also prepared accordingly. We’re just waiting for the right time!”

Evan said, “Alright.”

After ending the call, Evan entered the room to wash up and got into bed. He pulled Caroline into his arms with gentle movements.

He smiled at the sight of her calm face.

Evan thought, ‘I’ll be content in the days to come as long as Caroline is here.’

At 12:00a.m., Caroline was sleeping soundly when she heard an explosion.

She opened her eyes abruptly and looked at Evan, who opened his eyes simultaneously. “Evan…”

Before she could finish the sentence, the noise echoed again.

She looked toward the window and saw the colorful fireworks blooming outside.
