Chapter 528: Should We Change the Way We Address?
Upon hearing the mention of marriage, Ariel Morris’s unhappy expression markedly improved. Her face softened, and her eyes were filled with starlight, "This Christmas, Arlo has already started planning."Jorge Saxton nodded, quite satisfied with Arlo Seys’s decision.
Meanwhile, Langdon Seal wore a slight smile on his face, but his pupils involuntarily darkened.
Ariel was getting married. There was truly no hope left between them.
Jorge, affectionately stroking the smiling Ariel, gently asked, "Whatever you want for the wedding, whatever you lack, just let Brother know. My sister’s wedding must be grand and luxurious! Without the Saxton Family, without the identity of the Saxton Family’s eldest daughter, my sister must still be a princess, unmatched by any ordinary person."
Ariel entwined her arm with Jorge’s, offering a gentle smile, resting her head against him, her voice soft with a hint of a plea, "I lack nothing. With you and Arlo, this life, I lack nothing. I am a princess surrounded by happiness."
Jorge smiled, "Then my little princess must be happy for a lifetime."
"Okay." Ariel nodded, smiling obediently.
Langdon Seal felt a bitter taste in his heart, but he smiled and offered his blessings, "Congratulations, Ariel. After everything you’ve been through, you’re finally marrying the one you love."
Ariel looked at Langdon Seal, expressing her heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Langdon. If it weren’t for you saving me in Dublin eight years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to reunite with my brother or marry Arlo. You are my benefactor."
Langdon Seal shook his head with a smile, "It was just that fate was precisely on point."
Being just right allows for being good friends, not lovers.

When Arlo Seys received Ariel’s call and drove to Clearflower Estate, it was already two and a half hours later.
Jorge Saxton assisted Ariel in placing Nicole into the back seat of the car.
Jorge walked to the side of the driver’s seat where Arlo was, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice to the person in the car, "Benny Saxton is staying at the Morris Family."
Arlo’s eyes also darkened a bit, his fingers gently tapping the steering wheel, as he turned to Jorge, "How do you intend to play it?"
Jorge’s face suddenly broke into an elegant smile, "Arlo Seys, the Christmas wedding, yet your betrothal gift hasn’t arrived."
Arlo cast a glance at the Dandy Man, his gaze composed and self-assured, replying with two words, "Very soon."
Jorge smirked, "I leave my sister in your protection, you seize the Morris Clan, and I deal with the Saxton Family, how about it?"
Arlo nodded, "Alright."
Jorge’s eyes sharpened with a fierce glint, "The Saxton Family—my sister’s and my share must be reclaimed! Arlo Seys, once this battle starts, it’s not going to be easy for us either. If you don’t protect my sister well, then—"
"No!" Arlo cut Jorge off directly, his voice deep but powerfully firm, "I won’t let her get hurt again!"
The experience of entering and exiting the emergency room multiple times last time, he vowed never to let such a situation occur again in this lifetime! That helpless and heart-wrenching experience once is enough.
It’s enough to make him understand how to cherish Ariel, to ensure he must protect her for a lifetime. People cannot be lucky every time; if there’s another time, heaven won’t grant him luck, won’t always return Ariel to him with mercy, so he will stop at nothing to protect Ariel from being harmed again.
Jorge chuckled, gave Arlo an approving glance, then touched his nose, smiling at Arlo, his smile becoming increasingly graceful, his brows raised, "Arlo Seys, isn’t it time to change how you address her?"
At this time, Ariel had settled Nicole in the back seat, opened the car door herself, and sat in the front passenger seat. Seeing the two men speaking softly, she curiously asked, "What are you discussing?"
