Chapter 2391 “Frankly, you're incredibly rude. I wouldn't dream of selling the wedding dress I design to someone like you.” The woman's eyes widened in disbelief.

Undeterred, Laura, realizing she was no match for the woman's physical prowess, swiftly gathered her belongings and made a hasty exit, not even catching sight of Edwin in her rush.

Edwin felt a twinge of sadness.

He knew Laura like the back of his hand.

She'd get flustered even at the hint of a raised voice.

Angela's Library But now she confronted malice head-on, courageously asserting herself in a way she never had before.

Edwin emerged from the shadows, a deliberate presence.

As the affluent woman finished her coffee, preparing to depart, she glanced up to find Edwin observing her with a stern expression. She mustered a forced smile and stuttered, “Mr. Evans...” Edwin calmly picked up the coffee cup that had been Laura's.

In the next instant, he showered the woman's face with the remaining coffee.

The cafe buzzed with onlookers, and the woman, flustered but unable to retaliate against Edwin, anxiously whispered, “What is the meaning of this? Mr. Evans, have you forgotten that my husband has business dealings with you?” Edwin chuckled with a cold edge.

“Public humiliation doesn't feel great, does it? But I'll make amends.” With a casual demeanor, he pulled out his checkbook, wrote a check for 280, 00, and remarked as he tore it out, “I may have a packed schedule, but I've still got the energy to handle a small-timer!” The woman stood there, utterly stunned.

Edwin smoothly stowed away the checkbook and made his exit with grace.

As he reached the door, he paused dramatically and added, “Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Laura happens to be my wife!” His words reverberated through the cafe, sparking a round of applause, particularly from the younger onlookers who had witnessed the entire spectacle.

Right or wrong, they relished seeing the haughty woman put in her place.

EF 5 EC 4 Ti Lr i ee ee mare Koos Her eyes were tinged with red, giving her the appearance of a delicate, adorable rabbit in distress.

He observed her from a distance, contemplating.

Soon, Edwin's eyes fell on a nearby cotton candy stand. He approached and purchased a cotton candy, the vendor eyeing him with curiosity.

Chapter 2392 Edwin flashed a hundred dollar bill, explaining with a smile, “My wife's feeling a bit down, so I thought I'd bring her some cheer.” The cotton candy seller chuckled, his initial skepticism melting away.

Edwin gestured for him to keep the change, prompting the seller to craft a cute, fluffy rabbit-shaped cotton candy as Edwin requested.

Carrying the sweet confection, Edwin approached Laura and extended it toward her, a gesture of solace.

Laura took a moment, her red, teary eyes lifting to meet Edwin's gaze.

Edwin crouched down, delicately placing the stick of cotton candy in her hand.

His voice, remarkably tender, asked, “Want me to carry you?” Laura looked at him and managed a smile.

Without further words, Edwin affectionately patted her head and dusted off her shoulders.

“Let's go. We're having dinner at my parents’.

Laura obediently trailed behind him.

His hand exuded warmth, and his presence became strangely comforting.

ANGELA'SLIBRARY In that moment, the earlier unpleasantness seemed to fade into insignificance.

Once inside the car, she couldn't help but admire the rabbit-shaped cotton candy, hesitating to eat it.

Edwin buckled up, glancing at her with a smile.

“If you like it, I can arrange to have them specially made for you every day.” “No way! It'll make me fat!” Edwin started the car, playing along with mock seriousness, “The little rabbit can afford to be a bit fluffier.” Laura shot him a playful glare.

Her timid facade had always been a mere veneer.

Edwin felt an unexpected tranquility wash over him, soothing the day's fatigue and anxiety. He tenderly squeezed her hand and called her by her H & Her nose was red, whether from the cold or her recent tears, he couldn't discern.

As they paused at a red light, he retrieved something from the glove compartment and passed it to her.

Chapter 2393 Unfolding it revealed their marriage certificate, a document that told the tale of their shared journey.

Laura was entranced, her gaze lingering on the intricate details of their commitment.

Everything was just so perfectly beautiful.

Laura found herself captivated, momentarily forgetting the cotton candy in her grasp. Edwin observed her with tender eyes, radiating an indescribable warmth.

In the past, Edwin had harbored impure motives, but the moment he became serious and committed to her, an unbreakable bond formed.

He refused to surrender, and he wouldn't allow Laura to relinquish their connection either.

Acknowledging his own domineering nature, Edwin realized that Laura, his endearing girl, held onto only memories of his kindness while letting go of past wounds.

He believed such an innocent little thing was more suited to be his cherished companion, a notion reflected in the endearing term, “Mrs. Evans.” As Laura concluded her contemplation of the document, she raised her eyes to meet Edwin's gaze, shyly sitting upright and avoiding direct eye contact.

Edwin chuckled softly, the sound carrying an affectionate undertone.

Thirty minutes later, they pulled into the villa that Mark had acquired years ago.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Early spring had cast its spell on the yard, coaxing tender, green leaves from the trees.

Laura stepped out of the car, drawn to the budding leaves, unable to resist touching them. Edwin, ever playful, teased her about potential tiny worms, and she instinctively retreated into his embrace.

Lowering his head, he affectionately nuzzled her nose, jesting, “Afraid of little worms but not the big one-always eager to see it” Having spent some time with him, Laura was gradually unraveling the complexities of relationships.

Edwin's banter took her by surprise, and her face flushed red, leaving her momentarily speechless.
