“What the hell? They already have a daughter together?"

“And there's another child on the way? What's happening here?"

“And what about the wedding? Was it all just a big mistake?"

“Could that really be Holden? He seems a bit Like Zayden, too."

Sadie didn't waste a moment to address the comment about Zayden.

"That's my beloved fiancé Holden right there. The kids are both ours, and we're very happy. Thanks for caring, everyone!"

Right when the whispers about their wedding hadn't quieted, this dramatic development threw the rumor mill into chaos once more.

Waves of congratulations started rolling in from users all around.

Ariana could only manage to read a couple of comments before she had to exit the app, feeling a painful throb in her heart.

Jealousy coursed through her, a feeling so intense that it felt unnatural. The sight of the man she loved building a life with someone else was a bitter pill to swallow. Had it not been for that fateful accident five years ago, it would have been her and Holden in those pictures, basking in everyone's well-wishes.

Their relationship's nature stayed unclear and hard to define now. At any moment, she might be labeled as the homewrecker.

Ariana's chest tightened, making it hard for her to breathe. She was drowning in a pool of grievances, yet she found no way to express them.

Right then, Marge sent her a message. “Made up your mind yet, beautiful?"

Filled with anger, Ariana managed to send a response, her fingers pressing hard on the phone. “I'll do it," she replied.

Why was Holden allowed to show off his love life so freely? She was now single and could find someone, too. She saw no reason to be miserable by herself.

Holden, on the other hand, was oblivious to the drama. As soon as the dinner was over, he hurried to Ariana's place.

When he got to her door and called her, she didn't answer.

He knocked many times but got no response. In desperation, he tried typing in the password, only to be met by the detached voice of the security system.

“Incorrect password."

Holden frowned and tried the gate password once more, thinking maybe he had gotten it wrong the first time. Yet, the screen again showed it was incorrect.
