Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Ian Shelby also knew Hailey Hale, and he thought that with Hailey around, the emotions of the Morgan family elders might calm down a lot. She was a girl who thought a lot about others.

”Jocelyn, no matter what happens, we’ll be together, right?” Ian’s voice was soft as he held her hand, walking forward, allowing the flying snowflakes to settle on his shoulders.

”Yeah.” The girl nodded firmly, ”The biggest obstacle now is Uncle and Aunt. If I were their biological daughter, maybe they’d let go.”

She smiled encouragingly at him, ”But it’s okay, I’ll keep trying! I’ll show them my happiness! I’ll write better works, just give me a little more time.”

Actually, the biggest obstacle now wasn’t her parents, but...

Ian stopped walking and turned to stand in front of her, gently gripping her shoulders, looking at her with soft eyes, ”Jocelyn, no matter what happens, I’ll always walk steadfastly towards you, surrounding you from all sides. Remember this sentence, wait for me.”

What a touching declaration, accompanied by this snowy night, simply too romantic, like a scene from a TV drama.

However, it also carried a hint of sadness that Jocelyn Morgan didn’t notice.

Under his deep and tender gaze, Jocelyn’s lips curled up as she tiptoed to kiss his lips, just a fleeting, dragonfly-like kiss, yet full of her deep love for him.

”Dr. Shelby, I love you, you can confirm it with me as many times as you want.” Jocelyn Morgan tilted her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, like a little angel.

They exchanged smiles, and he nodded, ”Okay, I’ll keep confirming with you.”

He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, continuing to walk forward, a bit aimlessly, but every minute and second now felt particularly precious to them.

”Are we going to keep walking like this tonight?”

”Not just tonight, we’ll keep walking like this forever...”

As they walked, they inevitably saw two familiar figures, Trevor and Janelle Mills appeared in Ian and Jocelyn’s line of sight.

Trevor and Janelle also happened to see them.

The pure snowflakes continued to float down, swirling in the air.

Everyone walked until they were less than two meters apart before stopping.

With their gaze meeting, smiles appeared on all four faces. It had been a long time since they’d seen each other, despite being in the same city, everyone had their own things to do — that’s adulthood.

Then, at Trevor’s suggestion, they invited everyone to a restaurant for hot pot, a winter tradition.

The ’Spicy Thousand Reds’ hot pot restaurant near the square, with its festive red decor, exudes a sense of New Year’s celebration.

The restaurant is large, with plenty of seats, and even four-person tables can be sectioned into private rooms, with hollowed-out wall panels adding a unique touch.

It allows you to blend into the larger environment while having your own private space.

A group of young waiters with red aprons enthusiastically shouted slogans from time to time — this winter truly felt vibrant.

They ordered a divided pot base and enough portions of meat and vegetables, and the food was served quickly, despite the restaurant being quite busy tonight, mostly with young couples.

”Congratulations to you all.” Jocelyn Morgan opened a can of beer to toast them, genuinely wishing them well on their journey together, ”May you have longevity and enter the halls of marriage soon!”

Janelle Mills and Trevor opened Sprite, and Ian Shelby also opened Sprite because he would be driving later.

”Jocelyn, do you drink?” Janelle Mills looked at her in surprise, ”I’ll accept your blessing, thank you!”
