“The weather in Pasteria is stupidly hot, darling,” A woman in shorts and suspenders

carrying a suitcase exclaimed aloud in the airport.

Her voice naturally attracted the attention of many in the airport. And what drew them

even more was her stunning looks and her hot, seductive body. Both men and women

alike would stop to stare at her.

They were brooding on how the sensuous woman was already a human masterpiece when

another woman strode out of the arrival hall.

She wore an aqua-blue bohemian dress. Her long and straight hair framed her face. Her

skin was fair and delicate, and her features were beautiful and charming.

She instantly drew attention the moment she appeared.

Leah helplessly smiled when she heard her friend’s words.

The weather in Pasteria was sweltering, but she was in suspenders and shorts. She almost

felt embarrassed for her friend.

“And you, Cindy. You’re dressed so conservatively. Why are these men still staring at you?”

The woman looked at Leah with great envy. “Yup, a pretty face is all you need after all.”

Leah shook her head. “Let’s go. Ian has been waiting for us.”

“Tsk tsk. And now you’re in such a hurry the moment your fiance is brought up. I see you

can’t keep it in your pants.”

“Keep it in my pants? You’re one to talk.” Leah looked askance at her.

The woman stuck out her tongue and smiled embarrassedly at her words.

The moment the two walked out of the airport, they caught sight of Ian, who was waiting

outside to pick them up.

Ian was standing in the middle of a crowd in a white shirt. His sturdy body and handsome

features made him stand out from the crowd of passers-by.

What made him most conspicuous was the gorgeous bouquet of roses in his hands.

Ian met Leah’s gaze as awe and delight surfaced in his eyes.

He took brisk steps toward her with a fond expression. He handed her the roses when he

got close. “It’s been a while.”

Two years was enough for the man before her to grow up.

Ian’s temperament was far calmer and restrained compared to the way he had been two

years ago. What had remained the same was the gentle and loving gaze he wore when he

looked at Leah.

Leah was likewise elated to be meeting with Ian after two years. She smiled as she

accepted the bouquet. “Thank you.”

Leah’s friend, who was shoved to the sidelines, interjected after taking in the cloying

atmosphere between the two. “Hey, are you guys done? This is killing me. Can we get

some food? The in-flight meal was horrible.”

Leah helplessly rolled her eyes.

Ian looked at her and asked in confusion, “And, this is?”

Leah introduced her, “She’s Serena Coleman, a friend I met in Melville. She’s also

Grandpa’s right-hand man. You should have heard of her?”

Ian was taken aback.

How could he have not heard of her? Serena was the most promising jewelry designer in

Melville. Someone had previously estimated that her net worth was in the billions.

Her designs may be eccentric and incomprehensible, but it was praised and exalted by

artists.

“Ms. Coleman, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Ian held out a hand.

Serena and Ian shook hands in greeting, with the former speaking with disinterest. “That’s

all a sham. What’s important right now is that we get food.”

Ian smiled bemusedly. “Let’s go. I’ve made reservations for us.”

Whilst in the car, they spoke of Linkville’s Fashion Week.

Leah had returned to Pasteria for Fashion Week after having made a name for herself

abroad under Mr. Ryan’s guidance.

Few were unaware of a rookie jewelry designer named Cindy.

She could be considered the best in the industry.

Leah was also invited as a jewelry guru for Linkville’s Fashion Week.

“It’s been two years. Nothing seems to have changed,” Leah said as she took in the sights

beyond the car window.

Ian glanced her way.

Linkville had indeed stayed the same on the outside, but there had been significant

changes.

The Sanders and Whites had merged their companies and were now one of the top ten

largest enterprises in Pasteria.

The one in the lead was the Howard Group.

The trio entered the private booth and waited for the food to be served. Serena then got

up. “I’m gonna go to the restroom.”

After she left, Ian sat beside Leah and reached out to hold her hand.

Although the two hadn’t seen each other for two years, they often spoke on the phone.

Even so, the tension she felt never went away.

Leah resisted the urge to shake him off and looked at him, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

Ian stared affectionately at Leah. “Stay in Linkville. Let’s get married.”

She subconsciously tried to retract her hand the moment she heard the words ‘wedding’.

In the past two years abroad, she joined her father in his social functions, designed

jewelry, and experienced many things.

It broadened her horizons. She no longer wanted to tie herself down with marriage and

stay stuck in the affairs of love.

“You know I can’t stay in Linkville for long.” Leah looked down.

“It’s been two years. Han hasn’t made any moves. He and Molly might not be married but

everyone knows they share a good relationship. They also have a kid. He won’t come after

you again,” Ian assured.

Leah trembled when she heard the name ‘Han’.

She was about to answer when Serena yanked open the door to the compartment and

stomped in with a huff.

“What’s wrong?” Leah retracted her hand as she focused her attention on Serena and

tried to ignore the defeated look in Ian’s eyes.

Serena sat exasperated. “These people are so rude. I met this unruly brat who poured

water on me. I made him apologize for it but his mother is even worst.”

“That’s horrible. Are you alright?” Leah asked with concern.

“I’m alright. I’ve cleaned up. I’m gonna teach that kid a lesson if I ever meet them again,”

Serena finished, exasperated. Then she suddenly winked and smiled wryly. “But Cindy,

that kid’s father is quite the looker.”

Leah looked helpless. “The man’s married.”

“Who cares if he’s married? I’m a breeze that comes and goes. A one-night stand is all I

need. I have no intention of breaking up his family,” Serena said smugly. “Besides, his

wife’s figure is nothing compared to mine.”

Leah could only smile helplessly at Ian in response to Serena’s uncouth words. “This is just

how she speaks. She’s not a bad person.”
