Sean instantly looked up, not missing a single word Jessica said. But what he heard next nearly broke his heart.
“She’s married.” With that, Jessica coolly walked away in her high heels.
Sean was stunned for a long moment. He slumped down where he stood, muttering to himself, “Married? How is that possible? Nina said she would only ever marry me.”
But no one answered him. Everyone had left.
After some time, a waiter walked in. “Sir, we’re closing now.”
Looking at the waiter’s sympathetic expression, Sean felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He struggled to his feet, his numb legs almost making him collapse.
He stumbled towards the door, his shattered heart aching with a dull, persistent pain.
He had to find his Nina.
***
Nina was taken to the Bronner Estate.
This was her first time at the Bronner Estate, home to a family as prominent as the Millers. There were two prominent families in Los Angeles. One was the Miller family, and the other was represented by this magnificent estate.
The words “The Bronner Estate” were carved on a plaque, and Nina couldn’t help but feel impressed. From the looks of it, this Bronner family was leagues above the Miller family.
The estate was huge. Well–trained servants passed by Nina, calling out in unison, “Good day, Ms. Collins.”
They had received news a few days ago that Mr. Bronner’s fiancée would be arriving at the estate.
The old master had them clean the entire estate from top to bottom, even replacing the beds for the pet dogs, afraid that Ms. Collins would get a bad impression of the Bronner family.
Since the Bronner family placed such importance on her visit, the staff naturally didn’t dare to be neglectful.
Nina nodded in acknowledgment.
A man approached her side, and Nina turned to look, freezing for a few seconds.
The man before her was tall and handsome, with a cool and detached air. He was dressed in a white suit, giving off the air of a Prince Charming figure.
His back was perfectly straight, and his dark, slightly upturned eyes held a subtle sparkle.

Seeing Nina looking at him, the man smiled and extended his hand. “Hello, Ms. Collins. I’m Zackery Bronner,”
Zackery was Mr. Bronner.
Nina snapped out of her daze and put her hand in his. Zackery took it.

The warmth of his palm made Nina feel a bit dazed. She clearly remembered that Mr. Bronner was supposed to be ugly. But the man in front of her was incredibly handsome, he could have passed for a movie star!
“You…”
As if knowing what Nina wanted to ask, Zackery smiled, his expression softening. “You’re wondering why I’m not ugly, right?”
Hearing him say something so blunt out loud, Nina felt a little embarrassed and didn’t answer.
Zackery didn’t seem to mind. “Because I don’t want to get married. It’s better to let everyone think I’m ugly than be constantly pressured to marry. That way, no one would want to marry me.”
Nina hadn’t expected that at all, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.
But she was still confused. “Then why agree to the marriage alliance with the Collins family? I thought you didn’t want to get married?”
Zackery smiled. The sunlight hit the side of his face, making him seem as if he were glowing.
“Because it’s you.”
