Ryanna, pleased with Katelyn’s response, eagerly replied, “Wonderful! I’ll arrange for someone to escort you. And don’t worry, we won’t have any problems like we did at Fiona’s.”
Katelyn fully understood what Ryanna was implying. She found Ryanna somewhat intriguing. While Ryanna appeared innocent, Katelyn was aware that there was more to her than it seemed.
With a slight smile, Katelyn reassured her, saying, “Princess Ryanna, don’t worry so much. I trust you.”
After a brief conversation, they ended the call.
Turning to Vincent with a look of resignation, Katelyn said, “See what you’ve gotten me into.”
If not for Vincent, she wouldn’t be entangled with Ryanna in this manner. She mused that without her connection to Vincent, someone like Ryanna—royal and powerful—might not have even acknowledged her.
Vincent responded with a faint smile, his lips grazing Katelyn’s. “You’re going to be my wife. It comes with the territory.”
His straightforwardness prompted Katelyn to roll her eyes at his audacity.
Unsure what else to say, Katelyn playfully stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth and said, “Eat your breakfast!”
His smile broadened as he accepted the bread and began to eat.
Watching him, Katelyn then said, “We don’t need so many guards on Sophia.”
Vincent looked surprised for a moment, but then he understood Katelyn’s point. “Right, I’ll make sure more people are keeping an eye on Alfy.” He was keenly aware of Katelyn’s priorities.
This reassurance eased Katelyn’s mind. Knowing that Vincent’s team would ensure Alfy’s safety made her feel more secure. In the next moment, Katelyn wrapped her arms around Vincent tightly.

Vincent paused briefly, then whispered gently, “Is everything okay?” After picking up a wet wipe to clean his hands, he gently pulled Katelyn into a comforting embrace.
Katelyn, finding solace in his arms, merely nodded and murmured, “I just needed your embrace.”
In the security of Vincent’s arms, a seamless tranquility surrounded her, an experience entirely new to Katelyn.
Vincent, who typically guarded his emotions closely, felt a warmth spread through his heart, softening it in a way he had never anticipated.
In the past, if someone had told him he could be this tender, he would have doubted them. Now, driven by a newfound desire to be gentle, he was keen to offer Katelyn all his tenderness.
Resting his chin on her head, Vincent affectionately said, “You’re being adorably silly.”
He lightly flicked her forehead in a playful manner, his voice laden with affection.
Instead of feeling slighted, Katelyn snuggled closer to him, relishing the peaceful intimacy they shared. This peaceful moment, something Katelyn had never imagined possible, was now a cherished reality.
