kind.
After all, any other bride would probably feel uncomfortable if they were put in a similar situation. | could
completely understand if she didn't wantto appear by Pete's side. Taking the gift box, | said, "Why don't you
cin and have a seat?"
| poured her a cup of tea. | knew she didn't wantto be her bridesmaid, she just wanted to do a power play
and showwho was in control.
"In our country, married women aren't able to be bridesmaids.
| wanted to tell her that, no matter if she chere today or not, there would never be anything between Pete
andas | was already "married", Annie's smile tensed as she said, "I heard from Mr. Hawk's sister that you're
just his booty call."
Booty call.

| couldn't gauge what she was trying
to do as | looked at her calm expression, "Your wedding with Peter will be held tomorrow. Please don't make such
jokes with me. I'm starting to feel a little insulted."

She continued, "Pete and | are only getting married because it is required by our families. In truth, the feelings |

"Not to mention, no secret lasts forever. Once wind gets out, your family, the Shelman family, Nicholas, and
