After greeting everyone, Ethan held Dawn’s hand and led her to sit on the inner side of the table. One hand rested on the table, the other on her back. The way he held her made it look like he had herpletely tucked against his chest.
“See if there’s anything else you want to cat. I’ll have the chef make it for you.”
Dawn nced at the table. There was already more than enough food.
She tugged on him lightly. “It’s enough. Sit down.”
The three people not far away stared in shock. Arms crossed, all three had the same look of disbelief.
“Where do you think that proud, untouchable Ethan from before went?”
“No idea. But he’s clearly not here.”
“At this rate, he’ll turn into a totally devoted husband any day now.”
“Agreed.”
As soon as the words fell, a throw pillow flew over. Ethan didn’t even change his expression. “Are you eating or not? If not, get out.”
Alex pointed at himself. “Me?”
This dinner was his idea and this ce was his, too.
If he left, wouldn’t he just be clearing space for this couple to enjoy themselves?
No way. He had to eat.
The other two followed him over. Alice, ignoring the warning look from Ethan, plopped down right next to Dawn. “Sweetheart, want a drink?”
Dawn’s heart skipped a beat. She lifted her orange juice and clinked Alice’s ss. “Can I use juice instead? My stomach hasn’t been feeling greattely.”
Of course, Alice didn’t push her. She took a big sip and let out a satisfied sigh.
“Wow, that was fast. You’re getting married again already.”

“Yeah. I hope there won’t be a third time.”

The two women looked at each other and smiled. Alice shifted her gaze to the side, watching the man who kept putting food onto Dawn’s te. “With Ethan acting like this now, if you say there’s no third time, he’d put you on a pedestal.”
Alex chimed in, “Seriously. Who would’ve thought Ethan would ever turn into this kind of man?”
As soon as he said that, he got kicked under the table. “Can’t you eat without running your mouth?” Ethan said coldly.
Jokes andughter rose one after another. Dawn smiled softly, her delicate face looking as if a thin veil covered it.
When she was almost done eating and saw everyone else drinking, she stood up and said quietly, “I’m going to the restroom.”
“Do you want me to go with you?” someone asked.
“No need. You guys keep drinking.”
Dawn walked out of the private dining room and let out a quiet breath.
Maybe because of the pregnancy, she didn’t feelfortable in ces like this anymore.
After using the restroom, she didn’t go back right away. Instead, she asked which way the balcony was, nning to get some fresh air.
She walked through a few hallways. When she turned a corner, she identally bumped into a solid wall of muscle.
“Sorry, I…”
She looked up, and the rest of her words got stuck in her throat. She couldn’t say another word.
It was Austin.
Austin clearly didn’t expect to see her here either. He froze for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. “Not again. Can you stop running into me all the time?”
He had had a little too much to drink. The area around his eyes was red, and he looked much

thinner. His face, already sharp and serious, now looked even more chiseled.
Dawn steadied herself and greeted him calmly.
“Uncle Austin, long time no see.”
Austin froze.

He rubbed his fingers together and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s been a while.”

But really, it hadn’t been that long. It was just that for them, some things felt like stories from a past life.
Seeing that he didn’t seem ready to leave, Dawn hesitated for a moment, then spoke. “Do you want to go out to the balcony and get some air?”
“Okay.”
How could he say no to her?
Austin followed half a step behind Dawn. She was wearing t shoes. From his angle, he could see the top of her head clearly. For a moment, it felt like years ago, as if time had turned back, and nothing had ever changed.
The wind on the balcony was strong. The fresh air made people feel lighter.
Dawn took a deep breath and asked, “Uncle Austin, have you been doing welltely?”
“Pretty well.”
Austin’s deep gaze stayed on her, filled with words he never said.
He continued, “I have a business project here. I just arrivedst night. I’ll probably stay a few days.” He was exining why he had appeared here.
Dawn nodded. “Seeing that you’re doing well puts my mind at ease.”
Austin asked, “What about you? Are you doing well?”
“Me?”
Dawn smiled softly. Her gaze drifted into the night. Her slim body looked like the wind could blow her away at any moment, and even her voice seemed unreal.

“I’m doing pretty well.”
Austin frowned. The haze of alcohol in his eyes could barely hold back his feelings.

He looked at her face. From such a close distance, the person he had thought about day and night was right within reach.
But there was nothing he could do anymore.
Austin looked away. His hoarse voice was firm. “You’re not.
“I heard you’re having another wedding. But Dawn, if being with him makes you ufortable, you can leave him at any time.”
Dawn shook her head. Her eyes drifted somewhere far away, lost in thought.
