Julia Bluen regained her composure from the dazzling scene and found herself the object of everyone's envy. Whether it was people dining at the hotel or passersby, they all cast envious glances at her. Those who recognized them whispered, "Isn't that the prince of the Horne Family? That looks like his wife; she's the second daughter from the Bluen Family. How fortunate, such a loving couple, I'm so envious…"
Even those who didn't recognize them whispered non-stop with envy.
Such a romantic spectacle would have just drawn a crowd had it been ordinary people, but with the prince of the Horne Family as the male protagonist, it also attracted the media's attention. Right after Hansen Ruiz left, the media, having heard the news, arrived.
Glades Horne handed the large bunch of roses to Julia Bluen and gazed deeply at her without saying a word. Although the media had arrived, the "strangers keep away" aura emanating from him kept them at a careful distance as they took pictures from afar.
"What are you up to?" Julia Bluen muttered softly as she took the large bunch of roses, her heart brimming with joy.
This kind of astounding and grand scene could only have been conceived by Glades Horne.
"Come, let me take you upstairs for a better view. On the ground, you see people. From high above, you'll see my true feelings," Glades Horne said gently as he took her hand. She cradled the large bunch of roses, which almost covered her astonished face. Someone like Glades Horne thinking up such a romantic scene was truly eye-opening for her.
Following Glades Horne's steps, Julia Bluen hurried along, yet with grace. The regal aura emanating from her blended seamlessly with his. They looked like the perfect golden couple, their stunning looks and elegant demeanor leaving others in awe.
"They truly are a noble couple, the prince and his wife. Such grace, such splendid charm, elegance in every aspect, dignity everywhere. They're like gods and goddesses," whispered the diners at the hotel who had lost their appetite to this scene. Of course, nobody dared to discuss loudly—after all, this was Glades Horne, the helmsman of the Valence Group. Angering him could lead to ruin.
Glades Horne took Julia Bluen up to the third floor of the hotel's restaurant. He didn't want to go too high, fearing it would obstruct their view and make the letters appear smaller from a distance. Standing on the third floor, not too high but not too low, they could clearly see the words he had taken great pains to arrange.
Telling her he loved her ten thousand times wasn't enough for him; he always wanted to create an unforgettable image that would engrave his love into her heart.
Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows of a luxurious private room on the third floor of the hotel, illuminated by the twilight sky and the bright streetlights that turned night into day, Julia Bluen clearly saw the six words formed by roses. These were the same words of love he had told her countless times, but now they entered her heart in a new way, stirring her emotions like a tidal wave. Her heart pounded like the turbulent sea during a tsunami, leaving her speechless and deeply moved for a long time. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
The media also headed upstairs, naturally not daring to crowd into the same room as them. They captured the scene, and by tomorrow, it would headline the entertainment section. Even without Glades Horne's name, the sight of that Flower Sea and those six unforgettable words alone would be enough to capture the public's attention.
"Julia?" he called out softly when she didn't react.
Was it still not explosive enough?
His deep eyes flickered, pondering how to make it even more sensational.
"Is there more to come?" To his slight surprise, Julia's next statement made him pause, and then he indulged in a low chuckle, turned around, and clapped his hands. Waiters, who had been standing by outside the door, filed in. In just a moment, a romantic candlelight dinner was set. The table was laden with delicacies from land and sea, each dish a feast for the senses, making one's mouth water at the mere sight.
The room lights were dimmed to their lowest, and all the candles were lit, plunging the luxurious room into a dreamy, surreal atmosphere.
The couple took their seats one after the other and slowly savored their first candlelit dinner, composing a new chapter in their romantic story.
「Meanwhile, a luxurious sedan set off from A City and made its way relentlessly toward T City...」
The dark night always seems fitting for romance between lovers.
Inside the Emperor Hotel, Young Master Glades Horne and his wife were having a romantic candlelit dinner. After arranging the romantic affair for his boss, Hansen Ruiz also drove off, ready for some romance of his own.
His Range Rover drove steadily down the highway, heading slowly towards the Stylish Attire clothing store.
On his passenger seat lay a bunch of roses. TEEHEE, he had mischievously kept one bouquet for himself while running errands for his boss.
If the boss could bring flowers to pamper his wife, couldn't he do the same, using them to charm that money-making maniac?
Calling Rachel Bailey a money-making maniac was no exaggeration. She worked from dawn till dusk and dusk till dawn, never even bothering to call him. Had she just used him up and cast him aside?
And yet, his mature and steady heart only beat fiercely for her.
At thirty-five, having wandered for years, he sometimes felt like settling down too, having someone to look after and being able to care for someone in return. Wasn't his best friend and boss a prime example? Ever since Glades got together with Julia, his heart had revolved around her. He gathered her favorite snacks and went to great lengths with creative gestures to make her feel cherished. When Glades had been with Ruby, Hansen had seen Glades's affection for her, but it always felt like a habit, lacking the genuine, heartfelt care he now showed for Julia.
In fact, he had long sensed something unusual about Glades's feelings for Julia. But at the time, Julia was still Glades's sister-in-law, so he hadn't dared to say anything, fearing he'd be seen as a malicious gossip.
Fortunately, Glades had realized he'd "boarded the wrong ship" just in time.
Hansen Ruiz suddenly shuddered. It had been a long time since he'd witnessed Glades's violent and sinister side.
