Chapter 1

Grandma was on her deathbed, barely able to speak, but she managed to whisper that her only wish was to see me get married.

I sobbed uncontrollably, and my entire family's eyes turned to Fudge standing behind me.

Fudge sighed, gently wiped away my tears, and led me out to the hallway.

But the moment the door closed behind us, his expression turned cold.

"Yolanda, we've been together seven years. You know I hate being forced into things more than anything."

"Relationships should develop naturally. They shouldn't be swayed by anyone else's opinions."

His hand brushed through my hair, still somewhat soothing.

"There's no rush to get married. Let's wait until my company goes public and things stabilize, okay?"

"I have a meeting tonight. Just handle your family for now. I'll bring you a gift when I get back."

Before I could respond, he turned and left, walking side by side with his female secretary.

The moment their figures disappeared behind the elevator doors, I saw the secretary rise on her tiptoes and naturally adjust his tie.

And he didn't push her away.

I dried my tears and returned to the hospital room, smiling as I took Grandma's hand.

"Grandma, don't worry. I'm getting married in three days."

"Before I walk down the aisle, I'll be waiting for you to brush my hair yourself."
