“Pfft! Chairman Hoffman, | guess you have too much pent-up energy. Justin is just brushing my hair, but your mind is in the gutter!”
Bella chuckled. She then ran her fingers through the smooth and glossy hair that Justin meticulously cared for.
“Ryan, don’t rush the wedding. Just register your marriage with Carrie first. Establishing your legal marital status is more
important.” As Justin suggested it, he immediately regretted it and glanced at Bella to see her reaction.
Thankfully, she did not seem to mind. She continued to apply her skincare products with a radiant smile, her delicate face glowing
and inviting.
“Don’t worry. I'll definitely do it this time.” With deep affection, Ryan said, “From now on, Carrie will be the Hoffman Group
chairman’s wife.”
“And your father-in-law will be Gregory Salvador. So, you can walk around Savrow with pride,” Bella teased in a lazy tone.
“] won't rely on the Salvadors’ resources. | can take care of Carrie and support the Hoffman Group on my own.”
“If you need help, just ask. Don’t try to handle everything alone.” Then, Justin added seriously, “Don’t et that you have friends
like us.”
After a moment of thought, Bella's eyes lit up with excitement.

Carrie's paintings. She mentioned wanting to see it. You could have the wedding in Botvia. It's one of the best places to see the
aurora! You can just invite close family to attend. This would be great for Carrie's social anxiety. You can also have your honeymoon
there. That way, you'd kill two birds with one stone!"
“The aurora...” Ryan's heart ached.
Although he loved Carrie deeply, he was only now learning about her dream to see the aurora.
Love alone was not enough. As an inexperienced husband, he had so much more to learn and do.
“In these turbulent times, your priority is managing the Hoffman Group. Keep the shareholders calm and stabilize the stock price.
Don't let opportunists take advantage of you.”
Bella gazed softly at Justin and held his hand. “Justin and | will help you with the wedding preparations.”
“Bella, you've been worrying so much aboutand Carrie. When will you and Justin get around to it?” Ryan asked with genuine
concern.
Though Justin and Bella's relationship was now rock-solid. They did not need a marriage certificate to prove their love. Having seen
their journey, Ryan sincerely hoped they could restore their marital status and make up for lost time.
To Ryan, the most important thing was to secure a rightful title for his best friend!
Even if one day the heiress of KS Group got tired of Justin,plained about his age, and went looking for fresh, young suitors, his
best friend would still have the secure status of the rightful spouse.
It was all about planning ahead!
Justin's Adam's apple bobbed as he tightened his grip on theb.
“Let's get Carrie's wedding done first. We can wait.”
“Why are you suddenly so quiet, Mr. Salvador? What's on your mind?”
“l was just thinking about how beautiful your hair is,” Justin replied, his large hand gently lifting her long hair,bing through it
absentmindedly.
His voice was husky, low, and restrained—the kind of suppressed allure that unknowingly enticed Bella.
“I heard him.”
“Mr. Salvador, don’t you want to secure a rightful title for yourself?” She poked his firm abs through his white shirt.
In an instant, Justin's heart raced. He felt like a prey hidden in the depths of a forest, suddenly detected by a keen hunter. His heart
was beating more urgently and chaotically.

“Hmm? What did you say? | didn’t hear you.” Bella tilted her head, raising her delicate ear, her bright eyes blinking.
“I want it, Bella. | want you.”
He got so nervous that he inadvertently broke theb with his bare hands.
The woman's eyes deepened, showing no emotion.
Justin was not someone who would flinch even if the sky fell.
Yet now he was gulping nervously.
Justin said, “I'd even accept the title as your paramour.”
