Ashlyn’s smile broadened as she gratefully acknowledged Katelyn’s congratulations. “Thanks! I’ve heard about you and Vincent too. Congratulations to you! So, when is the wedding reception?”
Since Ashlyn had departed soon after securing the exclusive jewelry designer role for the Yata royal family, she had only caught wind of Katelyn and Vincent’s news.
“Wedding reception?” Katelyn hesitated, realizing she hadn’t planned that far ahead. She offered a light smile. “Not sure yet. I’m swamped right now.”
Given the unresolved issues with the Ruiz family and other pending matters in Yata, Katelyn hadn’t even considered marriage plans.
Although Ashlyn wasn’t fully apprised of Katelyn’s challenges, she always stood by Katelyn’s choices, saying, “Alright, I’ll be coming to Yata soon. My personal matters are settled, and as the royal jewelry designer, I should be present there more often.”
Katelyn paused for a moment. She saw the potential benefits of having Ashlyn in Yata, especially concerning the individual detained in the palace.
“Great, just let me know when you’re arriving, and I’ll meet you at the airport,” Katelyn said, smiling.
Ashlyn checked her schedule and said, “I should be leaving tomorrow and will arrive the morning after next.” The main reason for her call was to inform Katelyn of her travel plans.
Katelyn replied, “Safe travels. Will you be traveling alone, or is Khalid joining you?”
Ashlyn glanced at the man engrossed in a book near the window, her lips curling into a smile. “He’s coming with me.”
With those words, Katelyn could feel the joy emanating from Ashlyn. That made Katelyn smile as well. “Understood,” she replied.

While Katelyn kept her remarks light, Ashlyn detected a playful undertone. After ending the call, Ashlyn’s cheeks flushed with a bashful warmth.
Ashlyn’s gaze instinctively drifted to Khalid. As if sensing her eyes on him, he looked up and met her stare.
Their gazes met, and a quiet warmth reflected in their eyes.
Ashlyn felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Was this what being in love felt like?
Sophia had been resting in her room following Katelyn’s recent treatment. During her free time, she often found herself on the balcony, munching on snacks.
As Katelyn returned from picking up Ashlyn and Khalid at the airport, Sophia caught sight of them from her balcony perch. Sophia’s brow furrowed, puzzled by Katelyn’s decision to bring Ashlyn to Yata at such a time.
Katelyn was no fool. She surely knew of the dangers currently lurking in Yata and must have considered this. Yet, she had chosen to bring Ashlyn here.
Sophia mused, wasn’t Katelyn always protective of her friends? A mocking smile crept onto Sophia’s face. Perhaps Katelyn wasn’t so different after all.
