Finished

Mia felt the weight of everyone’s gaze on her. The air caught in her throat as James's words rang out, leaving her

momentarily speechless. Future wife? Not in a million years!

She lifted her head, her eyes shooting daggers at James, who had the audacity to flash her a smug smile. Before

she could set the record straight, Lily’s voice chimed in. “Sister Mia, why didn’t you tellabout this?” she

asked, her tone accusatory.

“Yeah, Mia! When did this happen? I'm your boss. Shouldn't | have been the first to know?” Parker pouted,

crossing his arms for tic effect.

Lily wasn’t about to back down. “Brother Parker, I'm her little sister. If anyone deserves to know first, it's me!

Isn't that right, Sister Mia?”

“No way! As her boss, | have more authority here,” Parker argued. “Mia, how could you hide something so big

from us? When were you planning to tell us about your relationship?”

Mia wanted to cry but found herself too overwhelmed to shed a single tear. Relationship? What relationship?

There has to be a relationship forto announce one!

Her glare snapped back to James, her frustration clear. This is all his fault! He was the one who started this mess

with his absurd claims. James, catching her deadly look, merely smiled and even had the audacity to wink at her.

Just as she opened her mouth to clear the air, she was cut off. “Sister-in-law, my baby’s just a little shy. That's

why she hasn't told you anything,” James interjected smoothly, pinching her cheek with an affectionate grin.

“Baby, now that everyone's here, don’t you think it's twe announce our relationship officially?”

Mia stared at him, utterly flabbergasted. “What relationship are you even talking about? James, stop spouting

nonsense!” she snapped, finally finding her voice. Turning to the others, she clarified, “Lily, Boss, you've got it all

wrong. There's nothing-absolutely nothing-betweenand this lunatic!” She jabbed a finger in James's

direction.

“Baby, don’t be so harsh,” James pouted, pointing at himself. “This ‘lunatic’ happens to be your future

husband.”

“Shut up, James!” she barked, her patience hanging by a thread.

Ignoring her protests, James turned to Lily. “Sister-in-law, don’t you think Mia and | make the perfect couple?

Doesn't it seem like she was handcrafted by God just for me?”

Mia couldn't stop herself from nodding, though her expression was anything but agreeable. “For once, James, |

actually agree with you. God really did make someone for everyone.”

James's eyes sparkled. “Baby, you agree with me? Finally!” His excitement was short-lived as Mia delivered the

punchline.

“But the person God made for you is a psychiatrist. Trust me, James, you desperately need one. Get your empty

head checked and stop building these ridiculous fantasies!”

James froze. “..."” His future wife's sharp tongue had struck again.

James refused to give up, his persistence unshaken. “Con, baby. Don’t be like that. We're among family

here. You don’t need to make excuses. No one’s going to tease you.” He boldly reached for her hand and

kissed it

Mia yanked her hand back, her glare intensifying. “You...!” she fumed before sighing in exasperation. “Forget it.

Talking to you is pointless.”

Lily and Parker were thoroughly entertained as they watched the lively exchange between Mia and James.

Initially, Lily had been caught off guard when James introduced Mia in such a bold manner, but the more she

observed their playful banter, the more endearing it seemed.

James and Mia actually made a surprisingly good match, she mused. Smiling softly, she tugged at Ethan's sleeve

and asked, “Ethan, don’t you think they'd make a great couple?”

Ethan turned to her, his eyes warm as he leaned down to kiss her cheek. “They do, but no one can beat us.

We're the best-looking couple,” he teased.

Lily grinned and returned his kiss. “Of course, we are!” she said with a playful sparkle in her eyes.

While the two shared their tender moment, Parker looked on, feeling increasingly left out. Surrounded by couples

and their unintentional displays of affection, he sighed inwardly. Why am | the only single one here? He resolved

right then and there that he would find himself a partner soon-someone to end his lonely streak and save him

from constantly being fed this “dog food” by his friends.

Dinner that evening was a delightful affair. The food was excellent, and the ongoing banter between James and

Mia added a lighthearted charm to the atmosphere. Amidst the laughter, Lily also learned more about James and

his efforts to uncover the truth behind her mysterious birth. Unfortunately, there hadn't been much progress on

the investigation, leaving her feeling a bit disheartened.

Sensing her disappointment, everyone quickly rallied to cheer her up, showering her with encouragement and

support. By the end of the meal, her spirits had lifted again, and the evening concluded on a high note.

As the group prepared to leave, Parker climbed into his car, heading off into the night. James, ever the persistent

one, insisted on driving Mia home. Naturally, Mia flatly refused, but with everyone else urging her to accept, she

eventually gave in, albeit reluctantly.

Watching the pair walk toward James's car, Lily couldn't hide her happiness. It was clear to her that James

genuinely liked Mia, and she felt deep down that her sister deserved someone like him—someone who could

match her fiery personality with unwavering devotion.

Determined to help the two get closer, Lily silently vowed to create more opportunities for them. Who knows?

With a little push, they might someday beca couple as harmonious as she and Ethan.

As the night wore on, Ethan noticed her growing tired. “Feeling sleepy?” he asked softly.

Lily nodded, leaning her head against his shoulder. “A little,” she admitted, her voice tinged with

contentment.

Ethan smiled, scooping her up effortlessly into his arms. “Let’s get you home,” he said, carrying her toward their

car.

As they left, the evening's joyful moments lingered in her mind, a perfect end to a warm and memorable

gathering.
