Chapter 12
Just as the wedding was about to begin, a young boy holding a cup of grape juice suddenly ran into the hall and bumped straight into Kimberly. The deep purple grape juice instantly stained her pristine white dress.
Kimberly cried, “My dress! Whose brat is this? Who let him in? Take him out right now!”

Hearing the commotion, Vincent quickly came over. The moment he noticed the impatience on Kimberly’s face, he was
In his mind, she had always been the gentle and quiet type. Even when faced with trouble, she never lost her composure. So, seeing her like this now caught him off guard.
en see you,” she said sweetly
“Vincent? When did you get here? I didn’t even see
When Vincent looked at her pain, he saw the same gentle expression on her face. It was completely different from the one she had shown just moments.
“I heard you cry out, so I came to check. Are you alright?” Vincent asked.
“I’m fine. It’s just that I’ve got grape fiice all over me now. I’ll change into another dress. Wait here for me, okay? Kimberly replied demurely.
“Dior” Vincent nodded.
However, he couldn’t shake his strenge unfamiliarity when looking at Kimberly. It wasn’t a fleeting feeling that came and went. It felt as if something about her now dich’t quite match the person he used to know.
sometimes, when he least expected in, the face that flashed in his mind wasn’t Kimberly’s. It was
Keira’s.
A trace of doubt stirred in his heart, but he couldn’t voice it. After all, Kimberly was his wife, and he was Keira’s brother–in–law.
“Brother–in–law, huh?” Vincent repeated in his mind

He hadn’t even had time to respond to her.
Upon remembering the box, Vincent decided to take a look at it. He took the elevator to the parking lot and began searching through the car. When he couldn’t find it, he called for his assistant, Danny Orval, to come ovRE.
“Where the box I handed to you this morning?” Vincent asked
“you mean the box Ms. York’s younger sister gave you?” Danny asked hesitantly, sensing the shift in his tone.
Vincent frowned in frustration. “What’s this? You couldn’t even hold onto something I handed you?”
“Mr. Suter. Ms. York said that the gift wasn’t anything valuable and told me to just throw it away,” Danny answered timidly.
“What?” Vincent’s voice rose, hinting at his irritation. “Do you remember where you threw it? Go find it now!”

Ten minutes Later, Danny rushed backstage holding the box. Just as he was about to hand iter, Kimberly came over. He discreetly stepped aside with
“Vincent, why are you here? I couldn’t find you after I changed. What do you think of this dress?” Kimberly asked expectantly, twirling to show it off.
The long, purple mermaid gown with a train sparkled under the lights.
But Vincent’s expression dimmed. He remembered very clearly that Kild had once said that she didn’t like the color purple. So, why would she choose it as her wedding dress now?
The doubts in has mand piled up, and his thoughts spiraled into chaos.
