When I landed in a small coastal town in Miami, I immediately saw news of the “Hayes Parker union trending on TikTok

Though the time was tight, money could accomplish anything. The venue was decorated lavishly and grandly

1 had dreamed countless times about marrying Tyler ||
I didn’t
t didn’t need to be luxurious or have many quests. I had always yearned for a beach wedding because I had never laid my eyes on the ocean before
In my dreams, my love would hold a bouquet of flowers and gently guide me, step by step towards a blissful future.||
Now I’ve finally seen the ocean I’ve long dreamt of, yet he’s married–just not to me.[]
No longer having to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, i suddenly had tes of thousands of dollars and wanted to start a small business.||
After looking at many storefronts. I found most rents too expensive. With renovation and other setups, my funds would barely cover it
At a loss, a real estate agent suddenly contacted me, saying there was a small coffee shop by the sea that also offered a library section. The owner wanted to transfer it at an unbelievably low price||
Coffee and reading? That was exactly the kind of shop I wanted to open
I never expected that even I could come across such a remarkably lucky coincidence!|
I rushed over and discovered the shop was decorated exactly as I would have wanted, requiring no additional renovations. It was two stories, with several rooms upstairs that could even serve as a small bed and breakfast
Most importantly, the price was so low it seemed like a scam
On the day of signing the contract, the owner finally appeared. I stared at him in utter disbelief and shock
“Lihan?? This chop is yours?
Dhan nodded with a smile]]
Yes, I’ve had it for a while. You know my family is well off, and I don’t have much energy to manage this small place, to I wanted to find someone trustworthy to transfer it to. When I heard you were here, I thought it would be perfect. Consider it helping me out. I’ve put a lot of effort in this shop years ago, and I can’t bear to sell it to a stranger.”
“I’m taking some time off and want to relax by the sea. Would you mind if I used one of the guest rooms operis?
1 looked at the brand new to
tables and chairs, dearly recently installed []
But rich young corn always have strange whims, so I nodded and signed the contract without overthinking it
Soon after, news i
‹ of the Hayes heiress’s pregnancy made headlines.]
In the images, Tyler trudged out of the hospital, his face mask of indifference, while beside him, Olivia beamed with unbridled joy:||
Seeing rath news, my heart felt nothing at al
chor’d stay a few days but ended up staying for half a year.]
