Ash sat beside him. After he hung up the phone, his face became gloomy, so she asked. “Something happened?
He raised his chin and tapped slightly in response. “After the wedding, I’ll go back first.”
Vania was spoiled from childhood to adulthood. The Snider family had few girls. Vania was adorable, and her sweet words matched her looks. The whole Snider family doted on her.
It was because of this love that Vania was too innocent and too easy to trust the words of others.
“Leaving tonight?” Ash didn’t know what had happened, but it wasn’t hard to see from Calvert’s face that it should be something serious.
He hummed, his cold expression a little sullen.
“Stick to the original plan with Grandma. It’s fine.” A trace of impatience flickered through Calvert’s expression as he pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling almost imperceptibly. “You’ll attend the party with her. I’m heading straight to the airport after the ceremony.”
Ash pursed her lips and thought for a long time. She felt that at least some care was needed. “May I ask what happened?”
“Something happened to Vania” Calvert paused, “She was deceived and then molested. I don’t know who the person is.”
She frowned instantly and immediately understood where Calvert’s emotion came from. “When did this happen? Forget the wedding for now, you go back first and go directly to the airport.
Ash knew clearly which was more important.
It was a big deal for Vania. This was the time when she needed someone, especially Calvert. After all, they had grown up together.
For Vania, Calvert was her most solid support.
Calvert’s eyes drooped slightly, and his low voice was a little firm, ‘I’ll leave after the wedding. It has already happened to Vania. If we fail to fulfill Sofia’s last wish now, the meaning of this trip will be in vain. Let the master of ceremonies simplify the ceremony as much as possible. It will be over in about half an hour, and the helicopter will go to the nearest parking lot.”
Ash was silent for a moment, but she still shook her head. “This is the time when she needs someone to accompany her. We can’t predict what might happen if we delay. If she is emotionally unstable, she may do something to hurt herself. You’ve done too much for Sofia. It’s okay*
After Ash spoke, she shouted at the driver, ‘Please stop
The driver was ordered to stop the car. Sofia and the makeup artist were sitting in a car behind them. Seeing the front car stop, the rear car braked.
Ash looked at him. “Actually, the ceremony can be held anywhere. Get off the bus. It can be over in three or five minutes
The highway here skirted the suburbs, with vast grasslands stretching along one side. h was a good choice to stop here.
‘Get out of the car. Don’t hesitate Ash hugged her skirt and got out of the car first. Her head leaned out of the window. ‘Aren’t you ready to get out of the car? Don’t waste time.
At this moment, the sun was at its brightest in the afternoon. The sun shone on Ash, as if it were plated with a falon layer of golden light. The comers of her lips had just the right curvature, and everything was just right

“Jewel, what do you mean? Why are you suddenly not leaving?” Sofia also got out of the car.
“Sofia, he has something urgent to do. Let’s just take a simple oath here. Look at this perfect weather, the breeze feels divine, and the scenery’s gorgeous. This spot works, yeah?”
True to her free–spirited nature, Sofia agreed without hesitation. “Okay, right here.”
“Come on,” Ash said.
Calvert was still standing by the car. Ash smiled and waved at him. “Hurry up. Get this done and you’re free to go.”
Under the blue sky and green ground, the two stood side by side, and Sofia stood in front of them.
“Calvert, would you like to spend the rest of your life with me, whether I am beautiful or rich?”
He held Ash’s hand lightly, looked at her bright face with a smile, and said slowly, “I do, whether you are beautiful or rich. I do.”
“Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me, whether…”
“Rich or richer.” Ash took the lead and spoke for him, her eyes curved with a smile. “I do, whether you are rich or richer, I do.
Ash raised her head on tiptoe and kissed him on the side of the face. “Okay! Done!”
Calvert’s eyes were full of tenderness. He reached out and held her face, bent over, and kissed her pink lips.
He thought that if they really got married, it would seem fine.
‘Calvert, you’re overcommitting; you don’t need to.” Ash was a little overwhelmed by the kiss, and slowly spoke to his deep and dark eyes.
Calvert’s long eyes narrowed. “Don’t you want me to be overcommitting?”
I’m leaving. Call if you need me and give me a heads–up before returning to Riverstone.” Calvert rubbed her head lightly with his big hand, said hello to Sofia, and got in the car and left.
Ash waved her hand and saw the shadow of the car disappear from sight before putting down her hand. Looking back at Sofia, she saw that Sofa looked like she was shipping.
Sofia had a smile on her face, and her eyes were even more moved. “Jewel, I have no regrets in this life, really. Thank you, and thank Calvert.
“And that’s all it takes to fulfill your lifer Sofia, you’re way too easy to please ‘Ash took her hand and said, “Didn’t you say you want to take pictures? It’s so beautiful here, don’t you hurry up and take pictures!
Sofia just remembered this and patted her legs “Yes, yes, yes, you are so beautiful today. I must take more pictures o want to call your father now?
Her smile froze slightly, and she shook her head. ‘No need, let’s take pictures, Soha, we don’t have to mention him today okay? I’ll take you to the real venue later. It’s just a pity that Calvert is indeed in a hurry tulay, so Sofa, don’t blame ha He
has no choice!
Although Sofia and Calven didn’t spend much time together, she understood Calverts staracter 1 know Calvers. You don’t need to explain too much. Jewel, let’s go back tomorrow. Whatever’s happened must be urgent. He needs you to are peripany him at this time. Partnership means weathering storms together. Don’t let him face this alone

Ash had already considered it, but Sofia’s well–being remained her priority. Now that Sofia had voiced it, hesitation vanished “Alright, we’ll return tomorrow.”
