Chapter 313: The Surprise Wedding Announcement

Emma Hart woke up to the sound of Damien Sterling getting dressed. She lazily nestled deeper into the bed’s embrace. After a brief internal battle, she finally stretched her arm out from under the covers to turn on her phone.

"12 degrees... Oh my God, I want to hibernate," Emma groaned dramatically.

Damien, listening to Emma’s princess-like complaints, shook his head helplessly but couldn’t hide his satisfied smile. After all, he had spoiled her into these habits.

"Hmm?" Emma opened her phone to find over twenty missed calls and several text messages. The sender of these messages was none other than her best friend, Amelia Davidson.

It had been a long time since Emma and Amelia last met. Amelia, whose charm and elegance rivaled that of a top-tier celebrity, had an extremely busy schedule. Even when Emma was on maternity leave, Amelia had squeezed out just enough time to visit her.

Why would Amelia suddenly send so many messages?

Curious, Emma opened the longest text message.

"Dear Emma! Wake up, don’t sleep in! I have something very important to tell you. Call me as soon as you see this! Your twins’ godmother!"

"What’s up?" Damien asked, noticing Emma’s perplexed expression.

"It’s Amelia. She seems to have something important to tell me. I’ll call her back," Emma replied.

"Hello, Amelia?" Emma quickly dialed her friend’s number.

Just as Damien was about to leave the room, Emma let out a deafening scream.

"Ah!" Emma shrieked.

"What happened?" Damien’s heart skipped a few beats from Emma’s sudden outburst.

Emma hung up the phone, took a few deep breaths to calm herself, and slowly said, "Amelia is getting married! To Logan Harrington!"

Damien’s eyes widened in shock.

Logan Harrington is getting married! Logan Harrington is getting married? How could that kid not tell me? And to find out through Emma and Amelia’s chat? This made Damien feel extremely annoyed!

Damien Sterling immediately picked up his phone and called Logan Harrington, but no one answered. Frustrated, he asked Emma Hart to call Amelia Davidson to find out Logan’s whereabouts. Emma learned that Logan had proposed to Amelia the previous night, and they had been up all night celebrating. Amelia assured Emma that as soon as Logan woke up, she would have him call Damien.

Damien went to work with a feeling of restrained frustration, while Emma couldn’t stop smiling at home. She played with their two children in the living room, repeatedly exclaiming, "Guess what, little ones? Your godmother is getting married! She’s getting married!" Her excitement was as if she were marrying off her own daughter.

Mrs. Harris watched from the side, a bit puzzled. She didn’t know who Amelia Davidson was, but judging by Emma’s joy, she must be a very close friend.

At the office, Logan Harrington arrived outside Damien Sterling’s office.

"Oh, Mr. Sterling has a new secretary?" Logan’s eyes lit up as he noticed the unfamiliar leggy secretary.

"And you are?" The secretary, with her thick-rimmed glasses and serious demeanor, looked at Logan with curiosity.

"I’m Logan Harrington, Mr. Sterling’s good friend," Logan introduced himself with gentlemanly grace, adding, "and the fiancé of your colleague, Amelia Davidson."

The secretary was taken aback. She knew Logan as Damien’s notorious friend, a playboy with a reputation for laziness. The news that he was getting married, especially to someone in the company, was shocking. Nevertheless, maintaining her professionalism, she adjusted her glasses and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harrington. Mr. Sterling is inside. I’ll inform him right away."

"No need!" Logan waved her off casually and walked into Damien’s office.

Inside, Damien and Logan sat on the leather sofa, sipping tea.

Damien ran his fingers over the warm teacup and looked at Logan. "It’s been a while since we’ve talked, and now I hear you’re getting married. Are you serious about this?"

Damien’s eyes, which had charmed many, scrutinized Logan.

Logan did seem different, more composed than before, but was he really ready for such a big step so quickly?

Logan Harrington stared down at the tea leaves swirling in his cup, a sweet smile playing on his lips.

After a moment of silence, he looked up at Damien Sterling and said, "Yeah, I can hardly believe it myself."

Damien nodded in agreement.

"But what can I do? I’ve never been so hopelessly and recklessly in love with anyone else. I can’t stand waking up every morning and not having her by my side. It’s unbearable," Logan confessed, his voice filled with raw emotion.

Originally, Amelia Davidson often traveled for work, and Logan Harrington, not trusting the situations she might encounter, secretly followed her. He frequently saw her entertaining older men with drinks, and the sight of his goddess being subjected to the attentions of these lecherous old men filled him with rage. He tried to negotiate with Amelia to stop these meetings, but to no avail.

Then, one evening, an old man attempted to harass Amelia. Logan couldn’t contain his anger and punched the man, then whisked Amelia away. That night, their relationship took an intimate turn, and Logan proposed to her.

Damien Sterling was astonished by the melodramatic tale. What baffled him even more was that Amelia Davidson had actually accepted Logan Harrington’s proposal.

Meanwhile, at the Sterling family villa, Emma Hart was video chatting with Amelia Davidson while holding her baby.

"Amelia, what made you decide to take the plunge all of a sudden?" Emma teased.

"Ah, Emma, you know me. I’ve always been wild and free, loving money and seeing men as worthless. But that silly boy, he truly moved me," Amelia replied, recalling the proposal with a goofy smile.

No matter how much Emma playfully chided her, Amelia remained unfazed, lost in her happy memories.

Emma couldn’t help but reflect on how love can make even the strongest women soft-hearted. She sensed Logan’s genuine feelings for Amelia, and although the whole situation was impulsive, she found no reason to object.

Money is never enough, but love, love is something you can never afford to miss.
