As such, the family of three returned to Winters Estate,

When they arrived, the butler whisked Aiden away to play. Since the boy had been to the estate before, he was familiar with the staff, and everyone loved this mischievous little guy.

Suddenly, a thought struck Amanda, and she turned to the man beside her. "By the way, have the paternity.

"Not yet. By the way, are you hungry? I et's have the kitchen whip up something delicious," Elias smoothly changed the topic, his hesitation evident as he avoided discussing the matter.

"What about Aiden? Shall we call him to join us for the meal?"

Meanwhile, the nanny serving the dishes smiled warmly and replied, "Mr. Aiden is having a great time in the garden and refuses to come back for dinner. We'll prepare another serving for him later." Amanda returned the smile and said nothing.

"Yes. Four years ago, you were looking forward to a wedding, and even Grandpa was eagerly looking. forward to it, but I couldn't fulfill that wish. I want to give you a perfect wedding now that we're remarried." He knew every woman dreamed of a perfect wedding to mark such a momentous occasion.

On the other hand, her enthusiasm seemed to have waned over the years. Four years ago, she had yearned for a grand wedding, but now, with Aiden already three years old and attending kindergarten, she appeared uncertain about its significance. She couldn't help but wonder if a wedding still meant anything

to her.

When Elias noticed Amanda's hesitation, he asked, "Do you not want it?"

She managed a faint smile, struggling to put her thoughts into words. "It's just that I feel it's unnecessary." "Why?"

Men and women had different perspectives. For women, envisioning a wedding at the perfect age and amidst carefree moments was often the cherished dream, but the reality weaves a different tale in our

modern times.

"There's no particular reason. I just don't look forward to it as much anymore. With Aiden already being three years old. I can't help but wonder if we should have him as the ring bearer if we were to have a wedding now Her words carried a tinge of resentment

"Mr. Winters, should I accompany you?" Yacob asked as he stepped out of the car. However, Elias glanced at him and stated, "No need. Wait for me here."

"Understood."
