Ava paused for a moment before saying, “Maybe we should just ask Mr. Mett to drop the dress off at Asnio’s place. That way, we won’t drag him into any unnecessary trouble.”

“Yeah, that works,” Jane replied. “I’m not tagging along on the day you officially try on the dress. The timing is not suitable. If someone spots my face, they’ll connect the dots and immediately think of you. And besides, your husbands are basically waiting on standby. If I show up with you, I’d just be an awkward third wheel.”

Ava let out a helpless sigh. “Jane, they and me are just ‘married‘ on paper for now.”

Jane chuckled, a note of certainty in her voice. “You guys will end up married for real sooner or later. I don’t buy the idea that any man could resist you–unless he’s not really a man.”

After hanging up, Ava’s eyes drifted to the names on her screen. The latest messages were medical checkup reports from each of them, sent last night and today.

Seeing those names gave her a headache.

The last time Ethan asked if he could come with her to try the dress, she agreed without thinking. And now it hit her—she didn’t just have one husband. She had five.

If she invited only one, the others were bound to feel left out.

Her brow furrowed deeply. After failing to undo the marriage matches with all five, she had already suspected that her future life wasn’t going to be smooth.

Her mind wrestled endlessly.

The ingrained beliefs from her past life clashed with the reality of her present life. Finally, Ava let out a long sigh, admitting to herself that one day she’d be forced to be the ultimate player and somehow balance everyone perfectly.

Ava picked up her Holoband and sent out a group message. ‘I already decided on my gown. Want to come along for the fitting?‘

The moment she read it again, a wave of goosebumps ran over her arms. She earnestly hoped at least one of them was swamped with work and had not seen it yet

She glanced at the time and realized it was already close to eleven at night.

Just as Ava was about to hit recall, replies started popping up one after another.

Keith replied, ‘I just got out of the lab. Avie, when are you going for the fitting? I am really looking forward to going with you.‘

Mason asked, ‘You are still awake? When is the fitting? Do you want me to pick you up?”

Ethan replied, ‘I was tied up with work just now. When are you going?”

Laurent replied, ‘Okay. You are not asleep yet?‘

Ryan replied, ‘Yeah, got it.’

Ava blinked, then immediately pulled everyone into a group chat.

Chapter 91 The Group Chat Incident

༥. 43%–

Finished

At first, seeing Ava message them privately had put them in a decent mood. Then, in the next second, they realized she had dragged all of them into one group chat, and the feeling turned a little complicated.

‘I have not locked down the exact time yet. I will let you know once it is confirmed. That is it for now. I am going to sleep. You should get some rest too. Good night! The moment she finished typing, she tossed the Holoband aside and got out of bed to wash up.

Ava slept peacefully through the night. When she woke up the next day, it was already 8:20 a.m.

After getting herself ready, she headed downstairs. She had just reached the turn by the staircase when she noticed several people sitting in the living room. The distraction cost her–her foot slipped, and she dropped two steps at once.

Her balance went off immediately.

She staggered, and for a split second it looked like she was about to tumble all the way down. The next thing she knew, the group rushed over in a blur.

Ava grabbed the railing, but her body reacted faster than her brain. She flipped over it and landed lightly on the floor, almost weightless.

She lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her mouth with a sharp, pained grimace.

I nearly went down hard first thing this morning.

Several hands that had been reaching out quietly pulled back. They peered through the railing at Ava, who had landed on her feet below.

The looks on their expressions were something else.

Mason braced one hand on the railing and leaned forward. “Are you okay?”

“I am. What could possibly be wrong?” Ava straightened up as she spoke, lifting her chin and rolling her shoulders back. She walked toward the dining table, steady and composed.

Once she sat down, the android stepped in and set her breakfast in front of her. Her expression settled almost instantly.

She picked up the napkin and wiped her hands, calm as ever.

“You look like you’ve had some training. Did you train before?” Laurent asked, his footsteps following as he headed for the table.

Ava took a sip of milk first. “I learned a bit of self–defense when I was a kid. Nothing impressive.” Then, she frowned slightly, genuinely puzzled. “Aren’t you all supposed to be at work today? Why are you all at my place?”

“Didn’t you ask us last night to go try on dresses?” Keith said with a grin. “Did you forget that?”

Ava paused. “But I never set a time with Asnio.”

“You fell asleep last night, so I asked for you,” he explained. “Asnio said anytime today works. Once you finish breakfast, we can head out together. Is that okay? hope you don’t mind that I took the liberty of
