?Chapter 1124:


    Lucas’ new apartment was conveniently located between his workce and Molly’s school. Not long after settling in, Rafael and Allie returned to Illerith, purchasing both the apartment and a nearby vi. This marked their full resettlement in the city.


    A friend told Adrian that Rafael’s decision to move back to Illerith wasn’t entirely straightforward. Since then, Adrian had always been cautious, suspecting Rafael still harbored feelings for Joelle.


    He would follow Joelle during her shopping trips. He attended every performance Joelle was in. He monitored her visits to the studio.


    One spontaneous day, they decided to check on Lucas, knowing the rigors of medical life. They wanted to see how he was managing. To their surprise, upon entering Lucas’ apartment, they discovered Molly napping in his bed. Lucas was luckily at the hospital, which saved Adrian from a potential outburst.


    That moment rified for Adrian that his suspicions were misced.


    Back at home, they confronted Molly, who denied any romantic involvement with Lucas, confessing only to a longstanding secret crush. Adrian’s patience wore thin,menting his daughters’ fanciful notions of love.


    Joelle tried to soothe him. “Calm down, Aurora’s wedding is near.”


    The uing wedding only heightened Adrian’s exasperation. If Molly had not been present, he might have broken down in Joelle’s arms.


    Indeed, heter cried privately, embraced by Joelle.


    He was dismayed that his daughters seemed so eager to get married.


    “It’s okay. I’m still here,” Joelle reassured him, holding him close. Adrian, filled with a mix of emotions, blurted out, “Let’s have another daughter, one who will never marry.”


    Joelle rolled her eyes. “Really, Adrian? Are you even serious?”

    In response, Adrian switched off the lights and, with a yful challenge, replied, “Let’s have that daughter!”


    Aurora had initially nned her wedding to Dunn for the third year following her university graduation.


    As circumstances unfolded, Dunn established a research institute while Auroramitted to a significant national pharmaceutical project, leading to an indefinite postponement of their wedding.


    By the fifth year post-graduation, Gracie’s patience had worn thin, and she incessantly pressed them to tie the knot, fearing their prolonged engagement might lead to a breakup.


    The Millers, on the other hand, were not as eager. The thought of Aurora marrying still brought them difort.


    To ease potential financial concerns for Adrian, Fred went ahead and purchased a new home for the couple, situating it close to the Miller family’s residence, preserving the proximity the families had always enjoyed.


    Their parents were engaged in endless negotiations, while the wedding guests grumbled in frustration.


    Molly ran up to Aurora. “So, are we celebrating your wedding this year or what? Lucas has rescheduled his hospital shifts multiple times already!”


    “Isn’t Dunn having second thoughts?” Rnd interjected, rubbing his forehead.


    Meanwhile, Kalel, an investor in Finch Group, eagerly awaited the wedding day, hoping for a surge in stock values.
