Should I trust Kenton?
I lowered my head, unable to face the cameras staring at me.
“Sister–in–law.””
I heard Kenton’s voice, gentle as always.
“I’m here for you. Just trust me.”
He tightened his grip on my hand, warmth flowing steadily from his palm.
“I apologize for calling you all here so late.”
“But I really couldn’t wait until tomorrow.”
Kenton turned to face me, dropped to one

knee, and in his hand appeared a pink ring.
“Phaith, will you give me the chance to pursue you?”
I froze. This wasn’t part of the script we’d rehearsed this morning.
Suddenly, a reporter shouted.
“That’s the Argyle pink diamond!”
“Hey, are you just randomly shouting?”
The reporter ignored the murmurs from around him and zoomed in on the diamond ring in Kenton’s hand.
“I’m sure of it. This is the one that Nightfall bought at the grand auction three years ago. Even after being cut into a ring, its color is still so unique…”

Feryal immediately lost her composure. She grabbed the reporter’s sleeve, yelling.
“Look closely! He’s a fake! An imposter!”
She hated that the man by my side was better than her.
It had always been this way, and it never changed.
Her reason for hating Kenton was simple: because he was an illegitimate child with no standing.
And she didn’t really like Shayden. What she wanted was the heir of the revived Holmes Family.
That’s why when Shayden’s company was in crisis, she heartlessly abandoned him and

“He hasn’t even divorced Phaith yet, and he’s already hooking up with her sister! Shayden is such a jerk! Ugh!”
“Did his wife mention divorce as soon as she arrived tonight? Was she already in the know?”
Looking at Shayden, who was protecting Feryal from the reporters, I felt nothing but disgust.
I removed the plain silver ring from my ring finger and held it tightly in my hand.
On our second wedding anniversary, Shayden had told me that I was becoming more important to him.
He apologized for the simple engagement

How did we end up here?
I think I no longer need Shayden in my life.
I reached out to Kenton, who had been waiting for my answer, and smiled..
“I accept your pursuit.”
The tightly locked back door suddenly
swung open.
Confetti and fireworks fell faster than the reporters‘ cameras.
A group of handsome men cheered as they ran out the back door.
“Congratulations to the forever–single Kenton for finding someone!”

“Kenton, I want to drink wedding wine!”
“Kenton, I want wedding candy!”
“Hey hey hey, why are you calling out to Kenton? This is all up to the sister–in–law!”
My gaze lingered on the handsome men when suddenly, my face was grabbed by a pair of large hands.
“Though I don’t have bad taste like some people, always looking for ugly sidekicks, don’t you think they’ve been at it for a bit too long?”
Kenton held my face firmly, and I had no choice but to pout as I talked to him.
“When did they… use the back door?”
“When you were running away with me.”

That mischievous guy, he didn’t tell me in advance, and I was just unnecessarily
nervous.
We were all laughing, but then Shayden’s voice interrupted.
“Phaith, I didn’t agree to divorce you.”
