Clara was surprised. "W-Why do you suddenly ask?" She sounded panicked by the idea. "Is it sudden?" Wilson mock whispered. "It's not sudden at all. I've thought about the question a thousand times, thinking about the answers you may give me. I just thought it's finally time to ask you tonight."After a short pause, he continued, "Clara, I want to know what you think. Nothing else. Just ask your own heart. Do you want to stay with me for the rest of your life?"Wilson asked again, a little nervous as he anticipated her answer. Yes, he was nervous. Clara remained silent. She lowered her head as if pondering the question.Wilson stood by the bed, patiently waiting for her answer. Time had flown by, minutes passing quickly. Wilson waited for a long time, but she never gave him an answer. Clara's silence made him bitter and slightly resentful toward her. He should have never asked. The question definitely threw their relationship off balance."Forget it. Pretend I said nothing.

Coco drank the sobering-up tea and tried to recall last night's events. Although she had gotten pretty drunk, she remembered most of what happened last night. The memory of Lucas dancing remained in her mind. It was the first time he had danced for her, and she wondered when she would see him dance for her again.Coco felt a tinge of regret thinking about this. She should have filmed Lucas dancing with her phone yesterday! What a precious memory!After lunch, Coco went to the hospital for rehabilitation. It was difficult for her leg to recover and function like a normal person's, but rehabilitation could help minimize the pain and troubles she faced in daily life. It would decrease the chances of her tripping while walking, and she could walk like a normal person with the aid of some special shoes.Rehabilitation was something she could do within her power. Coco wanted to do her best in this, even if it was difficult. Having come back from the brink of death, this kind of hard wor

"Yes, she's my fiancée, Coco. Coco, this is Aunt Esther," Lucas introduced."Hello, Aunt Esther," Coco greeted Esther Turner with a polite smile.Before Esther could speak, a young woman standing beside her spoke up, "Lucas, I thought your fiancée would be stunning, but she looks like any average girl. Your taste is..."The woman suddenly stopped mid-sentence because Lucas was glaring at her coldly. His gaze was so icy that it gave her chills. “Try saying that again, Naomi,” Lucas said expressionlessly.Upon hearing that, Naomi Lloyd turned pale and remained silent. Esther quickly interjected, “Alright, Naomi knows her mistake. Lucas, please don't take it to heart.""Coco is my fiancée, and I don't want to hear comments like that again. If I do, don't blame me for taking action despite us being relatives," Lucas said, taking Coco's hand and leading her inside.Lucas made it clear that he was on Coco’s side. Esther's expression turned grim, and her daughter, Naomi, glared at

"Coco, that's not fair. I'm just praising you for saving a child's life and changing your destiny. Why are you acting like I've said something wrong? Do you know how deeply Lucas loves Serenity? If you hadn't saved Serenity's child, how could Lucas...""How could he what?" A cold voice suddenly interrupted, startling Naomi, who turned to see Lucas standing nearby.Coco looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lucas’s cold expression. She knew that he was angry and upset. Coco hurried over to Lucas, trying to prevent him from starting a fight at the family gathering. "Don't worry, I didn't take her words to heart," she said softly.But Lucas tightly held Coco's hand and told Naomi, "Get out!"His words shocked everyone. Naomi stared at Lucas in disbelief. “What?”"I said get out. And don't ever set foot here again!" Lucas coldly ordered.Naomi's face turned bright red in embarrassment. Esther quickly came over. "What's going on? What happened?""Mom, I was just chatting w

Coco was about to go with Carmen, but Lucas stopped her by grabbing her hand. Before Coco could say anything, Carmen spoke up, "What? Are you afraid I'll eat Coco? I just want to chat with my future daughter-in-law. I promise I'll return her to you in good shape.""Mom," Lucas frowned slightly, worried his mother might say something unpleasant to Coco."Don't worry. I cherish Coco more than you do," Carmen reassured him. "Now, let go unless you want me and Coco to stand here with you all day?"Lucas released Coco reluctantly.Coco followed Carmen to the backyard where Carmen looked at her with a gentle expression. "I'm sorry if their words upset you earlier.""It's fine," Coco quickly replied."Coco, Lucas chose you, and so did the Gomez family. If you ever feel wronged, you can talk to us," Carmen paused and continued, "Lucas loves you very much. At first, I didn't realize how deeply he cared, but during the year you were missing, I saw how much he loved you. I believe he migh
