Afterward, she turned to Edwin and said, “Your sister and | will return to Czanch soon.
Once you've finished your tasks there, bring Laura back to join us.
You mustn't tire her out anymore.
Edwin smiled and turned to Olivia.
“Not busy lately?”
Olivia shrugged.
“The workload isn’t heavy, and | might even need to halt one of the comics I'm working on.
Edwin took a sip of black coffee and asked casually, “Is there an issue with funding? If you really like this job, |
will buy that magazine.
Olivia quickly replied, “No, there’s no need! It seems like someone has already shown interest.

Edwin raised an eyebrow.
“Then who is that fool?”
Cecilia patted his hand gently.
“You've always teased your sister and Laura... You should consider changing that habit.
Edwin turned to his sister.
“Have | ever mistreated you?”
Olivia pondered her annual dividends, enough to sustain her for ten lifetimes, and reluctantly said, “No, you've
always been so good to me.
Cecilia felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, though deep down, she was happy.
Her children and daughter-in-law lived harmoniously, and her grandchildren were adorable and beautiful.
After decades of marriage, her husband still adored her.
So, as she shopped with Olivia for Alexis” wedding, she couldn’t help but smile throughout the trip.
Olivia pointed to a necklace in the jewelry shop.
“This one is perfect as part of the dowry.
Cecilia glanced over, delighted.
“The craftsmanship is exquisite, and it looks elegant and generous.
Let’s peruse other items and assemble a complete set of wedding jewelry, which is auspicious.
Olivia held her hand and carefully selected the items.
The shop assistant, discerning their affluence, warmly introduced, “The jewelry in our store is highly collectible.
Olivia smiled lightly.
“I'd like to see this one.
It'll definitely bring out the wedding dress.
Suddenly, a cold voice cut in from behind, asking, “Are you going to get married?”

Startled, Olivia tensed and turned to face the source of the voice.
It was Raphael.
Raphael stood alongside Sharon, who held a shopping bag containing a replacement outfit: a men’s shirt,
trousers, and a tie.
Earlier, Raphael had suffered an unfortunate coffee mishap at the business meeting, prompting a swift wardrobe
change.
However, the circumstances surrounding the clothes’ custody were peculiar.
Even more so, Raphael's demeanor was tense, with a noticeable patch of redness on his neck, resembling a
hickey.
Olivia watched the scene unfold with interest, trying to understand what was going on.
She and Raphael had ended their relationship years ago, but his recent appearances with Sharon, accompanied
by claims of engagement, left her confused.
Now, why was he questioning her in a tone that sounded almost accusatory, and in front of his fiancee no less?
Olivia broke the silence, her voice calm and composed.
“Isn't it natural for people to get married when the time's right?”
