Laura, distressed yet hopeful, addressed Kaiden with a hint of desperation. “I apologize on behalf of my mother. I’m sorry. She did it for me. I… I genuinely like you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you at Araceli’s banquet. Kaiden, I love you p>
Ellie found it challenging to comprehend a woman who professed love so freely.

Kaiden appeared to find Laura’s claim amusing.
Without uttering a word, the irony in his expression was so unmistakable that it landed on Laura like a stinging slap, leaving her with a searing sensation.
So what if Laura came from a prestigious family?
In Kaiden’s eyes, it was pointless to even bring up her family background around him.
“You two… Are you his girlfriend? When did this happen?” Laura was struggling to wrap her head around it. She looked flustered, directing her questions only at Ellie. Kaiden’s presence seemed to intimidate her.
