Chapter 227
227:
Thiago’s expression turned genuinely happy as he lifted his glass, saying, “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”
Brenna also raised her glass, clinking it against his, and they both sipped their drinks with satisfied smiles.
Rosie captured this celebratory moment and quickly forwarded the photos to Ethan.
Atop the financial district’s tallest skyscraper, Ethan had just returned to his office from a meeting. He checked his phone, frowning in frustration. Despite repeated attempts over two days, Brenna had not responded to his friend request.
He noticed Rosie’s messages but dismissed them, assuming she was merely pestering him.
As he was about to put his phone down, Rosie sent him another message.
“Ethan, Brenna is on a date with another man.”
That prompted Ethan to finally look at Rosie’s messages. The photos she had sent showed Brenna happily drinking with a man, but the shots were taken from behind, showing only the man’s back.
Ethan’s expression darkened, and he clenched his phone tightly, his knuckles whitening from the strain. Brenna was seeing someone else.
He quickly replied, “Where are they? Send me the address, and I’ll head there immediately.”
Rosie, still watching Brenna, felt a flicker of displeasure. It seemed Ethan hadn’t completely given up on Brenna yet, and that bothered her.
Nevertheless, she savored the thought of Ethan catching Brenna with another man, hoping it would finally put an end to any feelings he still had for her.

So she promptly sent Ethan the location, eagerly anticipating the drama that would unfold when he confronted Brenna.
Anticipating Ethan’s arrival, Rosie removed her sun hat and began taking photos as she approached Brenna.
Noticing something was off, Brenna frowned at Rosie’s unusual attire. “Why are you taking pictures of us?” she asked.
Ignoring Brenna’s question, Rosie continued snapping shots of their dishes and quickly sent them to Ethan.
She then held up her phone with a confident grin and said, “Brenna, didn’t you just agree to marry Ethan? And yet here you are, dining with another man. I saw you clinking glasses with him. Do you think Ethan would be okay knowing you’re out with someone else?”
Brenna rolled her eyes, finding Rosie childish. “Seriously? Your opinions are so outdated. Is it really inappropriate for me to interact with others normally?” she replied.
Rosie stood firm, arms crossed, wearing a broad smile. “I’m not saying you can’t. Just remember you’re engaged. What if a couple of drinks make you do something you’ll regret later? Since you’re having drinks with him, that must mean your relationship is special, right?”
