Jude asked him, "Your ce? No way the garage could flood—it''s the most upscale neighborhood in all of Rivercrest City."


    Seth replied coolly, "I stayed at my family''s housest night."


    "Oh, that exins why you didn''t show up with Bianca this morning."


    Once Seth had taken his seat, the press conference officially began.


    Bianca and Aetheria''s founder, Ethan Laurent, took the stage one after the other, showcasing the game from every angle-its unique features, the ster numbers from the closed beta, and glowing reviews.


    During the Q&A, the reporters started with questions about the game. But as things went on, someone veered off topic and brought up Bianca''s personal life.


    "Director Lowell, I just spotted Mr. Harcourt from Aurelion Group out in the audience. You two seem very close-rumor has it a wedding is on the horizon. Is that true?"


    Bianca looked every bit the picture of a woman in love, her eyes crinkling with happiness as she replied, "Let me rify: it''s not just a rumor. It''s true."


    A wave of delighted murmurs swept through the room.


    The reporter pressed on, "So, Director Lowell, after you and Mr. Harcourt are engaged, do you n to step back and be a full-time wife?"


    Bianca smiled and smoothly passed the question to Seth. "You''ll have to ask Mr. Harcourt himself does he want me as his partner at work, or a wife at home?”


    All eyes, and every camera, turned to Seth-even Jude looked curious about how he''d answer.


    Seth''s gaze softened as he looked at Bianca before replying, his expression tender.<fneeae> The source of th?s content is FιndNovel</fneeae>


    "She''s so remarkable. How could I bear to keep her trapped at home? Even after we''re married, she''ll always have her own wings her own world to soar in."


    The room erupted in a chorus of admiration, everyone moved by Seth''s sincerity.


    After the interview wrapped up, Bianca headed to the dressing room to touch up her makeup. Her phone buzzed-it was Yvonne calling.


    Yvonne asked, "How''d it go? Did my reporter do alright?" "Perfect. Our rtionship is out in the open now, finally."


    Bianca had always hoped Seth would make a public announcement about their engagement, to make things official. But he''d nevertaken that step


    She''d tried dropping hints. Seth''s exnation was always the same: Wade hadn''t given his blessing yet If Seth made big show. of things, it would only provoke his father further and make their already strained rtionship worse.


    Bianca understood, but a small part of her still felt slighted. What woman doesn''t want her love to be acknowledged?


    Yvonne promised she''d find a way. So she''d arranged for a reporter to ask the question, making sure everyone got the message.


    "It''s obvious-Seth really loves you," Yvonne said, clearly happy with her soon-to- be son-inw.


    "He does. He really cares about me."


    "Once you''re engaged, try to get pregnant soon. A baby will stabilize things, and you''ll be able to move the wedding forward."


    Bianca replied, "I know."


    Noreen had just finished a meeting when she got a message from Scott.


    He wrote, just watched the Aetheria faunch. The gamey and features are exactly what I

    "That''s why the beta feedback''s so good."


    "I left before it was done, so I have no idea what the final story or structure turned out like."


    Noreen knew how bittersweet he must feel-he''d poured his heart into that project.


    "If you''ve decided to let go, don''t look back," she replied.


    A momentter, Scott answered, "Yeah. You''re right."
