Since neither Ste nor Joshua had ever had a proper wedding, Joshua was cing immense importance on this one.


    He wasn''t an especially romantic person, but he was determined to have the proper ceremony.


    Besides, Ste had never worn a wedding dress.


    He wanted to give her a wedding she would never forget.


    Joshua drafted a simple n. To achieve his ideal wedding, it would take at least six months.


    Although Joshua desperately wanted to marry Ste as quickly as possible, he refused to let her feel like she was settling for less.


    If other brides had it, Ste would have it too—and if they didn''t, he''d make sure she did.


    Joshua still stayed by Ste''s side every day, but his focus had clearly shifted from watching her every move to nning the wedding.


    Ste had nned a wedding before and knew what a tedious process it was.


    Although hiring a team would save time and effort, Joshua insisted on being hands- on with everything to give Ste the most perfect experience.


    In addition to his work, he also nned to design her wedding dress himself. Six months might not even be enough time.


    Ste could clearly feel that Joshua''s condition had improved significantly.


    At the very least, when she had meetings, Joshua was now willing to stay in the


    office to n the wedding instead of following her.


    To put Joshuapletely at ease, Ste had a miniature tracking chip embedded in her ring.


    Joshua could use it to pinpoint her location and movements at any time.


    When Abby called, she was extremely surprised to hear that Ste had changed her mind so quickly.


    "Star, didn''t you say you never wanted to get married again? What made you change your mind so fast? It couldn''t be..."


    Abby couldn''t resist joking with her, "Don''t tell me he talked you into it in bed."


    Ste blushed. "Don''t be ridiculous. I just feel that Joshua has done so much for me, and I want to repay him in some way."


    Abby said, "That''s good. Maybe now Joshua won''t be so insecure. By the way, does Keen know?"


    Ste''s voice paused for a moment. "I haven''t told him yet."


    "So when do you n on telling everyone?" Abby asked.


    Ste thought for a moment. "The wedding is still in the nning stages. Let''s wait until the date is set to announce it.


    As for Keen... I''ll tell him beforehand."


    Ste had once considered Keen more important than her own life, but now, she


    had learned to love herself before loving others.


    Abby asked again, "What about the Williams family?"


    Whether the Williams family


    approved or not wouldn''t likely affect


    Ste''s decision. But since she


    hadn''t had aplete falling out with them yet, she couldn''t just not inform them.


    Ste said "After I formally take over Leonard''s shares, I''ll be able to strip Jonathan Williams of his powe That should happen before the wedding.


    By then, I doubt they''ll be in any mood to attend my wedding."


    Seeing that Ste had everything nned out, Abby felt relieved.


    "In any case, you still need to be careful during this time. The Williams family


    definitely won''t let you get your way so easily."


    "Yeah, I know," Ste said.


    After chatting for a few more minutes, they hung up.


    Keen was on vacation, so he could stay in Solmaris for a while longer.


    In her free time, Ste would take Keen out to have fun, and asionally she would bring him her and Joshua''s ce to night. .


    ay the


    When Keen stayed over, Haynes usually knew better than to tag along and would<pe to pick Keen up the next day when Ste went to work.
