"I'm confessing to the woman I love today. If you sit next to me, she might get the wrong idea."
"Why come back now?"
I glanced down at the invitation in my hand, about to answer, but before I could speak, a reporter beside me cut in.
"Mr. Dumont, there are rumors that you're proposing to Miss Bellucci today! Is it true? Can you confirm?"
A swarm of reporters surrounded us, their cameras flashing relentlessly. Nicholas’s voice carried a teasing edge.
"That’s a secret."
His ambiguous response instantly sent the press into a frenzy.
Amidst the commotion, a few sharp-eyed reporters turned their focus to me.
A young woman in a red hat blurted out, "Isn't this the Vasquez Family’s daughter who used to chase after Nicholas Dumont? I heard she insisted on debuting alongside him in pursuit of love and even spent a fortune to be his co-star. Then she vanished without a trace. Why is she suddenly back now?"
"Could it be that she heard Mr. Dumont is confessing today and refuses to give up? Is she here to chase after him again?"
The moment she finished speaking, every camera lens and pair of eyes zeroed in on me.
Under the harsh glare of the cameras, I simply smiled and waved.
