“Jonah!”
Julien got out of the car quickly and bolted over. Like a swallow returning to its nest, he ran straight into Jonah’s arms.
Jonah wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him into a warm embrace. He chuckled softly, “Did you sneak out for some fun, Foxy?”
“I had no time for fun. I went to get something yummy for you.”
Julien pouted and said in a disappointed voice, “I went out to buy desserts from that famous shop. I wanted to give you a sma surprise at breakfast tomorrow morning. But, I guess it’s no longer a surprise now.”
“My bad.”
Jonah placed his hand on Julien’s neck and gently massaged him. His eyes filled with affection as he continued, “With you by my side, it’s a surprise every day. I’m content enough.” Julien narrowed his eyes. “As far as I remember, you were never such a smooth talker. Have you turned bad?”
“It all clicked after I met the love of my life.” Jonah looked at him with a gaze full of passion.
Their moist breaths intertwined tenderly with one another’s.
Their happiness was a tangible thing that night. Two souls perfectly matched, reveling in a dreamlike state under the soft snowfall.
Their sports car drove steadily through the gates to the estate.
A moment later, a car, with its headlights off, drove out from the darkness quietly. It stopped at the front of the entrance, where Jonah and Julien stood a moment ago.
The man in the car looked in the direction of where Jonah and Julien had gone. Then, he took out his phone and examined the couple’s intimate photo that he had secretly snapped.
If he hadn’t verified it previously, he would have been certain that they were Jonah and Blake, whom he knew.
He gritted his teeth and floored it.
When they arrived at the door to the fortress, Julien thought of sharing his encounter at the dessert shop with Jonah. But he noticed the three luxurious cars that were stopped in the courtyard. He didn’t recognize those vehicles.
There were also bodyguards dressed in suits and standing guard outside. In a flash, he was distracted.
“Oh? Didn’t Landon say that only the Taylors’ and Walsh’s’ friends and family were invited for the wedding? Who else is here?”
“It’s Miley. She brought someone else with her too. Or to be more specific, it’s someone who insisted on coming along with her.”
Jonah had his arms around Julien. He had a secretive look on his face. “She’s someone with quite an impressive background.” Thoughtlessly, Julien asked, “How impressive could it be? More impressive than the First Lady in our family?”
“She’s a princess.”
“Is she that proud? Back in Mosgravia, people used to call me the ‘Prince of Neurology,” Julien boasted as he tilted his chin upward.
Jonah burst out laughing. “She’s a real princess. The only princess in Kontina’s royal family.”
Julien’s jaw dropped. He was floored.
At the same time, almost everyone had gathered in the living room. A distinguished woman in an aqua-colored, long silk dress and a white coat over her shoulders was standing next to Miley. Everyone surrounded her with shocked expressions on their faces.
“Please allow me to introduce our guest.”
Awkwardly, Miley put her hands on top of one another and posed them before her. A stiff but courteous smile came across her face. “This is the king of Kontina’s only daughter, Princess Yuliana Stewart.” Everyone was flabbergasted. Not a sound could be heard.
Alyssa and Jeremy looked at one another. Even Alyssa, who had witnessed many major aspects of life, gaped in surprise.
“What the… a princess? Royalty?”
Landon exclaimed in amazement, “All my life, I’ve only heard of princesses from fairy tales. I’ve never met one in real life!”
Upon saying that, he turned around to leave. Jeremy grabbed him.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to get Lauren to come and meet the princess. This is an occasion not to be missed!” Landon was a curious person by nature, and now he wanted his wife to join in his curiosity. “You’re already the chairman of a company. Why are you still being so untamed?”
Jeremy shook his head helplessly. “It has been a tiring journey for Lauren, traveling here from Solana City. She’s physically weak in the first place and she’s even jetlagged now. Don’t bother her and just let her have a good rest.”
“So… Why is this princess suddenly here together with Miley?”
Alyssa linked arms with Jeremy. She raised her brow slightly and whispered to him, “Out of all the
Walsh’s and Taylors, not to mention the Harpers, Miley is the only one who is acquainted with her
“There’s no way that she came all the way to attend a stranger’s wedding. How fascinating.”
“I’ve seen from the news that royal princesses’ movements are always the focus of people’s attention. They’re also always escorted wherever they go.”
Alyssa could feel Jeremy’s warm breath by her ear. He continued, “But look at this princess. She’s traveling light… Even the bodyguards are Miley’s It just seems too… casual. Isn’t the royal family worried about her traveling out alone?”
Just as everyone was trying to wrap their heads around the situation, Yuliana stepped forward gracefully.
She smiled elegantly and greeted everyone, “I am a friend of Madam President. Please pardon me for showing up uninvited.”
As she spoke, she looked around at everyone with a twinkle of hope in her bright eyes.
Amidst the awkward atmosphere, Winston walked into the room with Liam.
Winston and Liam had smart and striking appearances. Their bearings were no less noble than that of royalty.
“Dad! Liam!” Alyssa rushed over to them immediately.
Winston forced a smile. Then, he directed a conflicted gaze toward Yuliana.
Liam stared at Yuliana. There was a flicker in his eyes as he tightened his fists subconsciously.
The moment Yuliana spotted Liam, her glistening eyes lit up and filled with eagerness. However, due to her noble identity, she could only restrain her emotions as she approached Liam step by step. Women were best at understanding other women. Alyssa could clearly sense that…
The relationship between Yuliana and Liam wasn’t that simple.
They had a story.
“Colonel.” Yuliana looked up smugly and gazed at Liam with a deep look in her eyes. “Aren’t you going to greet me?”
Everyone’s gazes were focused on this eye-catching pair in front of them.
Liam gulped before taking a step forward.
He lowered himself slowly and knelt on one knee. Then, he picked her hand up and kissed the back of her fair hand.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Upon seeing that, Colene was the first one to get annoyed. She nudged Mandy with her elbow.
“A man should have dignity and not grovel. I understand if he bows down to God, his parents, or his wife. But how could he kneel before a young lady? When were any of the men in the Taylor family so humble?”
Lyla tugged at the hem of her shirt. “Lower your voice, Colene. She’s a princess. Liam is just doing that out of formality…” “What formality? Which century are we living in now? So what if she’s a princess?
Colene was still dissatisfied. “This is not Kontina, and Liam isn’t Kontinian. Is it necessary for him to abide by their rules?” Mandy seized an opportunity to pull Miley aside. In a low voice, she asked, “Miley, how did Liam and this princess meet?”
“There were two occasions when Liam escorted our country’s political leaders to visit Kontina. He ended up staying with the royal family for a few days.”
Miley laughed awkwardly. “I guess that was when they met.”
“So, this princess came along with you so she could see Liam?” Mandy widened her eyes.
Looking at the proposal-like scene in front of her, Miley put her forehead to her palm out of helplessness.
The moment Liam got back up to his feet, Yuliana leaned forward without warning. She rested her hands on his shoulders and tiptoed.
The white coat over her shoulders fell to the floor as she gave him a peck on his lips.
Liam’s heart pounded. He felt a surge of electricity run through his entire body, and his palms started sweating.
The people in the room exclaimed, “Wow!”
