“What a party! Can’t believe I almost missed it.”
Everyone instinctively turned their heads.

The heavy banquet hall doors opened to reveal a tall, broad–shouldered man entering slowly.
He wore a classic three–piece black pinstripe suit, the matte fabric paired with a gray shirt buttoned all the way to the collar.
His jacket hung open, each stride revealing the vest that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
Handsome beyond compare, noble in bearing, his presence was commanding.
It was Jonathan.
Anneliese froze where she stood, and around her came the sound of gasps and murmured whispers.
“That’s Jonathan Fullbuster of Aerolux Airways–the Fullbuster family’s heir!”
“Jonathan! That’s him, alright!”
“What’s he doing here? Mr. Golding must have incredible connections.”
Some recognized him and cried out in surprise.
The Fullbuster family’s roots were in the capital, but Jonathan had made his base in Oceaton ever since taking over as Aerolux Airways‘ president.
He even laid out a major development plan for expanding the Oceaton airport.
During his time here, he had kept a low profile, rarely attending private gatherings.
The only time he had appeared was at the White family banquet.
Even then, when he saved Anneliese from drowning, it had been only a brief appearance—not a formal one.
Few people truly knew him, and no one expected him to show up tonight.
As hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Golding were both surprised and delighted.

Derek had indeed sent him an invitation, but Jonathan’s secretary had replied with a polite decline.
Realizing what was happening, Derek quickly took Marlowe’s hand, ready to step forward in welcome.
But before they could do so, Jonathan strode across the hall and headed straight toward Anneliese.
Her heart skipped a beat as she watched him approach, drawing the attention of the entire room as if a spotlight followed his every step.
Then, without hesitation, he slipped an arm around her waist.
Anneliese’s mind went blank.
She could only look up at him in shock, her thoughts scattering.
Jonathan lowered his gaze, smiling gently as he said, “Sorry for being late. The traffic was crazy.”
Anneliese’s ears slowly turned red, her mind a haze.
He made it sound like they’d planned on coming together all along.
“Gosh! Didn’t Selina just say Anneliese remarried into the Fullbuster family? Could it actually be true?”
A startled voice rang out, too loud to be ignored.
“Nonsense! According to Selina, Anneliese married some high–ranking official in Oceaton!”
The person’s friend hurriedly shot them down, lowering their voice in a frantic reminder.
But the banquet hall was so quiet that their words carried just as clearly–leaving both women red–faced as they slapped hands over their mouths and ducked their heads.
This was about the Fullbuster family’s heir and his wife, and it wasn’t something anyone could afford to joke about.
Marlowe masked her surprise and looped her arm through her husband’s as they stepped
forward.
Mr. Golding beamed.

“We’re honored to have you here, Mr. Fullbuster.”
Marlowe’s eyes flickered to the man’s hand resting firmly on Anneliese’s slim waist.
With a smile, she voiced the question on everyone’s mind.
“You’re right on time, Mr. Fullbuster. Though, we were wondering…”
Jonathan nodded politely to the couple but gave no answer.

His grip on Anneliese’s waist tightened slightly as he looked at her and asked, “Well, aren’t going to introduce me?”
He handed the reins to her, showing both his respect for Anneliese and his stance to the crowd.

Anneliese pressed a hand against her racing heart before she smiled at Derek and Marlowe.
“This is my husband, Jonathan.”
Hearing her words, the collective gasp this time was louder than when he first entered.
Anneliese swore she could almost hear eyes popping from their sockets.
What a shocker!
Flustered, her cheeks flushed red as she shot Jonathan a half–annoyed glare before adding, “Jonathan, Mr. and Mrs. Golding have always treated me kindly and helped me a great deal.”
It was the first time she’d addressed him so intimately in public, and Jonathan was clearly enjoying it.
The hand at her waist grew warmer, his touch searing through the thin layers of her dress until her skin tingled beneath it.
“Why don’t I just call you Derek and Marlowe, then? Thank you for taking such good care of my wife.”
Jonathan looked at her once more with a gentle smile on his face,
The Goldings, overwhelmed and flattered, broke into broad grins, showering Anneliese with praise before eagerly inviting Jonathan to talk in private.
