Hailee glanced behind her… All the knights are now gathered in front of the main hall door. With this realization, she returned her attention to Geoffrey and searched for his face.

  She smiled. She was truly biased because, among them all, Geoffrey had a special place in her heart. If she were to ask, Geoffrey is boyfriend material.

  If Bryan is a bad boy type, Geoffrey is the nice guy.

  Any girl would feel too lucky to have this prince charming as a boyfriend. He was too gentlemanly. He is also intelligent and an outstanding leader.

  In her High School days, all the girls at the school were crazy about him. They always look forward to the class ending for the day because Geoffrey picked her every afternoon.

  People thought he was her boyfriend rather than Bryan, who became her fiance later. Geoffrey always has a poker face with other girls. Unlike James, Pitt, Leo, Hector, and the other boys. They always had a broad smile on their faces and flirted with the girls, but Geoffrey was only cold to all girls he met.

  But Geoffrey's aloof attitude draws more girls than those flirty men.

  Before she meets Vincent, or if there is no Vincent in this world, she would choose to teach her heart to love Geoffrey more than Bryan.

  Geoffrey is a perfect man. But same as Bryan, she could only think of him as a brother.

  Hailee tightened her embrace when Geoffrey whispered something into her ear.

  "I wish all the best for you, princess. I love you. But I know it is not the love you need from me."

  She let the tears drenched her cheeks one more time. She already realized Geoffrey's feelings for her, but she could not return to it, no matter what. The love she has for him is only a brotherly love.

  She hugged Geoffrey once more before he let him go and turned to Pitt.

  The guy is crying, so typically, her sobs become a cry. Here is the best brother she could not ask for more.

  "Pitt……" She hugged the guy even tighter. He was one of the best men—Pitt is the one who is always by her side through happiness and sadness.

  "Congratulations, princess. I promise to watch your daughter."

  Hailee cried hard. If her daughter wanted to sail around the world, she had the best guy right here. She will be at ease to think it was Pitt who would accompany her daughter on her adventures.

  "Then, you should get married as soon as possible and have a son to accompany my daughter." Hailee winked at Pitt, who dropped his jaw on the tiled floor.

  And Pitt didn't understand her statement. Well, she is worried for her daughter on the one hand because she knew Pitt would be strict toward her daughter, probably more than Vince.

  She could already imagine Pitt scolding her daughter, then reprimand her not to do this and that, especially having boyfriends.

  She already thinks Vince would be too strict with their daughter, as he is a jealous man. Just thinking about that, she could picture her daughter would not have fun.

  So, if Pitt had a son, there is someone the same age as her daughter to hang out with. Then, it would be great! Her daughter needed someone to help her escape if her dad forbade her to go out.

  "Princess, what you were thinking, huh?" Pitt pokes her nose. She comes back to the present time.

  "The future……" Hailee smiled and said meaningfully before she moved to her next knight.

  She had a broad smile on her face. But when she realized who the only two men left for her to meet, tears once again raided her eyes and wet her cheeks.

  Hailee dropped the basket that was now full of red roses. She ran to the guy standing on the right side of the door and cried into his arms. She now drenched his gray suit, with the tears didn't stop flooding her eyes.

  "Bryan……" she continued sobbing.

  "Hello, princess……"

  Bryan's eyes are also wet with tears. He lifted his head to push back the tears, but they continued falling on his cheeks.

  He gently strokes Hailee's hair, persuading her to stop crying.

  Bryan lowered his head to kiss her hair and said, "Hush now…… You should hurry inside. He's already waiting for you……"

  She need not guess what Bryan means by that. With what he had said, Hailee lifted her head to meet his eyes. Bryan's gazes are tender and loving. He always has this look in his eyes that he is really in love with her. She just understood this after she admitted to herself that she was falling for Vincent.

  She realized Bryan truly loves her…… However, she is meant for someone else, and she knows Bryan is destined for another girl.

  Whoever this girl is, once Bryan forgets about her and opens his heart for someone else, she knows he will love that girl more than how much he loves her now.

  "You are a great man, Bryan. I will pray to heaven for you to find the right girl."

  Bryan smiled at her. 'You are the girl I want to love.' It is what is on his mind. However, she belongs to someone she fated to spend the rest of her life with.

  It saddens him that they are not meant for each other in this lifetime. And it looks like, even in the next life, she would still belong to someone else.

  "I want you to be there……" Said Vincent to him on the phone the other day. He added, "But always keep in your mind that she belongs to me, and even in our next life and the next life, I am the one she will be with once again."

  Bryan chuckled at how arrogant and confident Vincent was. He replied to him,

  "Alright. I will keep it in mind. All I want is to see her happy. Remember this as well. I will steal her from you if you break her heart."

  "I'm not seeking my death. I will never cheat on her either if that's what you were thinking."

  Bryan hissed at the other line. Vincent always has a way to add salt to the wounds and dig into the memories he tried to bury deep inside his heart.

  He always wanted to protest, but Vincent was the man who could make Hailee happy.

  Bryan placed a warm kiss on her forehead before giving her to Andre, the last guy to give her away inside the hall.

  "Andre!"

  "Congratulations, princess. You give me three grandchildren at once, huh!"

  Hailee laughed out loud between her tears. She told Andre, "Don't worry. You are the most handsome grandpa in the world."

  Andre chuckled. He placed a kiss on both of her cheeks before he brought her closer to the door, then knocked on it.

  Slowly, the giant door opens…
