Chapter 404 - Daughter dance

"Leon," Voren called out, the corners of his lips curving up into this faint, amused grin while pure excitement lit up his eyes like fireworks. "I gotta admit, I never really liked you much before, but damn, you’re starting to grow on me. At the end of the day, nothing matters more to me than my wife’s happiness. The second this wedding wraps up, I’m transferring the deed to this yacht straight into your name."

He dropped those words so casually that for a hot second, everybody around them froze, wondering if the guy was just messing with them.

Voren just lifted his wineglass with total calm, took a smooth sip, and looked dead serious the whole time.

Right beside him, Seraphine slowly turned to stare at the man who had become her husband only moments ago. Her mouth fell open in total shock.

She scanned every inch of his face, desperately hunting for any sign that he was joking, but there wasn’t a trace. He meant every single word.

Her heart did a wild flip inside her chest.

She couldn’t hold back as she reached out toward the wineglass in his hand, but before her fingers could even brush it, Voren easily lifted it way out of reach. His deep, warm chuckle brushed right against her ear as he leaned in close.

Heat flooded Seraphine’s cheeks in an instant, turning her face bright red. It wasn’t just how close his lips were to her ears but the way he openly called her Mrs. Ashkael like it was the most natural thing in the world, the deep warmth pouring out of his voice, and that incredible possibility hidden in his words that sent her heart racing like crazy.

She cleared her throat, trying her best to sound confident even as the blush kept spreading across her face. "I’m a doctor. If I were pregnant, I’d know. Besides, I wasn’t close to ovulation when he got intimate."
