Winter suddenly remembered that the had indeed lamped into a college classmated the impair office
In her prelome life, she conddn’t reset bragging about it, and by the next day, news of their mering bad d like wildfire, Fausing Aurelia to throw a massive tantrum
This time, she hadn’t bragged or told anyone why she was there, yet she was still deinderänna
Winter also wanted to clear things up, so she agreed.
The car sped toward the club Dominic led her to the private room’s entrance and emphasized on MAN
“When you go in, just tell everyone you were at the register office delivering your cousin’s passport fort say anything else, or you’ll face the consequences.”
Seeing the warning in his eyes, Winter nodded silently.
“Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything clearly. No one will think we got married”
After all, he truly hadn’t married her. She would simply tell the truth
Only then did Dominic relax, lifting his chin slightly to indicate she should enter alone,
Watching him turn and head downstairs, Winter let out a small sigh of relief and prished open the door
Hearing the noise, everyone in the room turned around. Seeing her, they all crowded around.
“Winter How’d you find time for a class reunion? Got some big news to share? We’ve heard the buzz–s spotted you at the register office! They even saw Dominic’s name on the marriage registry. Did you two tie the knot? Are you here to hand out invitations?
Faced with three gossipy stares, Winter shook her head and repeated what Dominic had just told her, debunking the
But her former classmates didn’t buy it, their eyes widening in disbelief
Delivering your cousin’s passport? What kind of lame excuse is that? Stop playing us! Everyone knows you’ve beats crushing on Dominic for years! You’ve been chasing him like crazy–bringing him breakfast at his dorm every morning getting a concussion from Idocking a basketball for him, even giving up your education opportunity t ENSAD
Hearing them mention these things, Winter became a bit dared. She felt as if she were still 29. with her student days a distant past.

But now she was only 22, just half a year out of college, with her future wide open.
Since heaven had given her a second chance, she didn’t want to get entangled with Dominic anymore.
So she took out the affidavit of single status she’d brought along and showed everyone.
Seeing this, everyone finally believed she was single, marveling at the coincidence.
“So you really were just delivering a passport! Then who did Dominic marry that day? Did you see?”
“No, I didn’t. I have no idea.”
Hearing this response, the group was disappointed but didn’t give up discussing.
“If it wasn’t Winter, could it be Aurelia? But Aurelia comes from a poor family–alcoholic father, bedridden mother. The Thorne family always cares about equal social status. Would they allow her to marry in?”
“Why not? You all know how much Dominic adores Aurelia! Three years ago, he accepted family punishment for her sake, willing to break with his family to be with her, forcing them to stop interfering. It’s just a marriage–even if the family disagrees, with his all–powerful position in the city now, getting married is a piece of cake. He can do it first and tell them after. By then, it’s too late for them to object!”
“No, no. Dominic loves Aurelia so much–if they were getting married, there’d definitely be a grand proposal ceremony. With nothing like that, how could they just get a certificate? It doesn’t fit his style. Someone must have seen wrong that day. Maybe it was just someone with the same name!”
Everyone seemed to agree with this theory. Just then, the door opened again.
Dominic walked in holding Aurelia’s hand. Aurelia looked at everyone in confusion.
“Proposal? What proposal?”
Seeming to realize something, her heart skipped slightly, and she looked at Dominic with a blush.
“Dominic, are you… planning to propose to me soon?”
The word “no” had already reached Dominic’s lips, but seeing her expectant face, he swallowed it back.
He knew she had been waiting for his proposal, but he had already gotten the certificate with Winter and could
never marry Aurelia now.
He wanted her to live, but he couldn’t bear to see her disappointed.
Influenced by multiple factors, he glanced at Winter, then nodded.
“Yes, Aurelia. I do plan to propose to you.”
