Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1172:

Burnet met her gaze, his eyes filled with unwavering affection. A soft smile played on his lips as he said, “Yeah, it was me.” He reached for her hand, his touch warm and reassuring. “Sweetheart, I didn’t marry you just for kids. I married you because I’ve been secretly in love with you for years. And I always will be. I’ll protect you, cherish you—no matter what.”

Silver Fox stood frozen, her mind reeling. She had never suspected that the quiet man from that mission had been Burnet. Even more shocking was the realization that he had loved her since then, their marriage not just a matter of convenience but a carefully woven plan from his heart.

But the truth was, she had feelings for him too. From the moment she first laid eyes on him outside the Daniels Group building, his presence had captivated her—his quiet confidence, his striking looks. She just hadn’t admitted it to herself until now.

So, in the end, their marriage was built on love too, even if it had taken her this long to realize it.

Overcome with emotion, Silver Fox grabbed Burnet by the collar, lifted herself onto her toes, and kissed him deeply.

“Honey, I love you, too,” she murmured against his lips.noveldrama

Burnet’s grin was instant and full of warmth. He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss back. “I’ve always known. You’ve been swooning over my devastatingly handsome face from the start.”

Xander, standing nearby with his arms crossed, cleared his throat pointedly. “Burnet, maybe dial it back a notch? This is Marissa’s big moment—let’s not steal the spotlight, yeah?”

Silver Fox rolled her eyes, shooting Xander a look. “You’re single. You wouldn’t understand.”

But instead of taking offense, Xander squinted at her as if seeing her for the first time. His eyes widened in sudden recognition. “Wait a second… White Mallow? You’re White Mallow?”

Silver Fox scoffed, crossing her arms. “Still as slow as ever, huh? You haven’t changed a bit, Goofy.”

Xander burst into laughter. “Unbelievable! White Mallow is now my sister-in-law? I never thought my dumb jokes would actually come true!”

Burnet watched the two bicker, his smile softening as he pulled Silver Fox closer, holding her as if he never wanted to let go.

Meanwhile, Xander was still laughing, shaking his head in disbelief.

With the proposal a glowing success, Connor wasted no time. In fact, since the moment he returned to Blebert, he had been orchestrating an extravagant wedding, one the city wouldn’t stop talking about.

Marissa married Connor in a ceremony of breathtaking grandeur, stepping into her new role as the lady of Daniels Manor, officially becoming Connor’s wife.

Everything seemed like a perfect fairy tale, until, out of nowhere, Silver Fox’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen, and her breath hitched. It was Ernst, her ex-boyfriend.

The wedding of Marissa and Connor was so extravagant that it became the talk of the town. Everyone knew that the head of the Daniels family had married Paul’s daughter, and naturally, the news reached Ernst as well.

To Ernst, Silver Fox was Tiffany’s friend—which, by extension, meant she had wormed her way into the good graces of Paul. That alone was enough to make his stomach twist with regret.

The thought gnawed at him, and before he could stop himself, he dialed Silver Fox’s number, his voice dripping with mockery. “Eloisa, back when the Nash family was struggling, Tiffany treated you like an equal. But now that she is Paul’s daughter? She wouldn’t even bother to look your way. Don’t get too ahead of yourself.”
