Chapter 50 : The Engagement Day - 1 Chapter 50 : The Engagement Day ( Olivia's POV ) Days passed amid the endless autumn rain before the sky finally cleared on the day of my engagement . The morning sun cast a golden glow through the windows of the Winters Family Estate , bringing with it a sense of promise and new beginnings .

" Today is Olivia's big day , and everyone in the Winters Family woke up early , " I heard Agatha Turner , our loyal housekeeper , announce cheerfully as she bustled through the hallways . Even little Grace , my half - sister who usually loved to sleep in , had risen with the sun . She raced through the corridors in a festive red dress , her childish excitement echoing off the walls . " Sister's getting engaged today ! Sister's getting engaged today !

" Grace chanted , spinning in circles until she nearly toppled over . Inside my bedroom at the estate , a team of professional stylists busied themselves around me . Mirrors reflected my transformation as they worked their magic , turning me from Olivia Winters , independent lawyer , into a bride - to - be . I wore a soft pink gown with delicate embroidery that caught the light with every movement .

My honey - brown hair had been elegantly coiled into a bun , adorned with pearl pins that complemented my amber eyes . " Just a touch more blush , " the makeup artist murmured , adding the finishing touches to enhance my porcelain complexion . Grace slipped into the room , resting her little face on the vanity . Her eyes widened with wonder as she gazed at me admiringly . " Sister , you look so pretty today ," she breathed , her voice filled with awe . I smiled gently and pinched her cheek .

" Thank you , little one . " Unexpectedly , Grace's bright eyes clouded with worry . Her lower lip jutted out in a pout that I'd come to recognize as the prelude to serious questions . 111 O 1/3 Chapter 50 The Engagem +15 " Sister , after you get married , will you still come home often ? " she asked , her voice small and uncertain . The innocent question caught me off guard .

A bittersweet pang shot through my heart as I realized how much this child had come to care for me , despite our complicated family history . I smiled softly , my voice tinged with tenderness . " Of course , the Rivers territory is so close , I can come back every day . " But Grace was sharp for her age . She frowned , seeing through my gentle lie immediately . " Hmph , you're lying . You don't even come home every day now . After marrying Connor , you definitely won't .

" Her lower lip trembled slightly , threatening tears . Suppressing a laugh at her perceptiveness , I patiently coaxed my half - sister . " Sister has work at the law center , so I can't come back daily now ." Grace remained unconvinced . She stubbornly stretched out her pinky finger , her expression deadly serious . " Pinky promise , you must come home every day to see me . " My smile deepened with helpless affection .

How could I resist this pure - hearted child who wanted nothing more than my presence ? I extended my pinky , offering a compromise . " I can't promise every day , but whenever I'm free , I'll come visit you , often . " Grace's little face brightened instantly , sunshine breaking through storm clouds . " Okay ! " As our pinkies hooked together in solemn promise , a sweet smile blossomed on my face . In that moment , all my anxieties about the impending ceremony melted away .

Meanwhile , downstairs in the Winters Family Estate , my father Richard Winters and his wife Natalie had dressed meticulously for the occasion . They waited in the living room , my father's face bearing a rare broad smile . Through the open door , I could hear him welcoming Connor , who had arrived early to personally escort me . 2/3 O < Chapter 50 : The Engagem +15 Ponts " Connor , wait a moment , Olivia will be down soon , " my father said , his voice warmer than I'd heard in years .

Natalie stood beside him , also radiant with genuine happiness . Though not my biological mother , I sensed her silent prayers to my mother Sarah in heaven : Sarah , our Olivia is all grown up now and about to get engaged . You would be so proud and relieved . Connor is a good man and truly loves her . She will be happy , so don't worry . The stylists gave me one final inspection before declaring me ready .

Taking a deep breath , I picked up my bouquet of fresh flowers and stepped toward the door . Grace raced ahead of me , her voice ringing through the house . " Sister is coming down ! " I descended the stairs gracefully , feeling all eyes turn toward me . Connor stood at the bottom , looking breathtakingly handsome in his tailored suit . The moment our eyes met , time seemed to slow .

His ice - blue gaze widened , drinking in every detail of my appearance - my elegant gown outlining my slender waist , the pearl pins catching the light , my amber eyes meeting his . An amazed smile broke across Connor's face as he stepped forward , unable to hide his adoration . He took my hand in his , his touch warm and secure . " You're beautiful ," he whispered , his voice hoarse with emotion . Comments ||| Watch Ads ( 0/20 ) > E Vote
