Chapter 920
Chapter 925:
Catherine vigorously nodded and responded, “Absolutely. I will excel as a director. I will not disappoint Mr. Lopez’s expectations.”
She got up and declared, “Miss Blake, I have completed the task. Although time is somewhat limited, please rest assured. By Tuesday afternoon, I will have the dress prepared for you to try on. I plan to incorporate classic elements with a touch of the Middle Ages to match your temperament. You will be the epitome of beauty on that day.”
“Thank you,” Candice replied with a warm smile. “I eagerly anticipate it.”
After Catherine departed, Candice scrutinized her reflection in the mirror.
To be honest, she still found it difficult to believe what had transpired.
Her past life seemed like a distant reverie. Nevertheless, she was determined to exert herself to the fullest. She wanted to showcase her very best to him.
Milton had been immersed in his work throughout the week. Nevertheless, he managed to carve out some time to visit the Lopez family’s mansion. Normally, he seldom returned to the mansion, finding it too vast and quiet. To reach the main building, he had to pass through a long avenue and three magnificent marble fountains. The entire mansion exuded resplendence and antiquity.
Upon arriving home, Milton made his way directly to the study. With a sense of urgency, he opened the safe, but after fumbling for a while, he couldn’t locate what he was searching for. Feeling perplexed, he decided to approach the hall and inquire of the butler, “Where can I find my mother?”
“Mr. Lopez, your mother is in the back garden,” the butler responded with utmost respect.
Just as the butler finished speaking, Erica stepped into the living room, holding a few freshly cut chrysanthemums from the garden, ready to arrange them in a vase for admiration. Her surprise was evident when she spotted Milton returning home. She questioned, “Milton, how come you have time to get home? Well, I am glad. I have wanted to see you. I want to talk to you.”
However, Milton seemed to disregard her inquiries and got straight to the point. “I don’t have time to talk to you now. Where did you put the household register? Give it to me.”

“The household register? What do you need it for?” Erica inquired, knitting her brows in confusion. Ever since Arlo’s fainting incident, Erica had hidden the household register to avoid any potential troubles it might bring.
As she pondered the situation, a sudden realization crossed her mind, and she asked, her brows slightly twitching, “Are you planning to marry Candice?”
“That’s right,” Milton admitted. “We’re getting engaged this Wednesday. The formal wedding will be held at the end of next month.”
“What?” Erica widened her eyes, clearly taken aback by the news.
“I have made up my mind. I am just informing you,” Milton stated arrogantly, crossing his arms over his chest. Without hesitation, he added, “I need to update the household register next month and transfer her details to it. Therefore, you should provide me with the household register in advance.”
Milton couldn’t contain his eagerness to possess everything belonging to Candice. His intention was to include her identity in the household registration records of his own family.
