Our wedding became a global sensation, and with the revelation of my status as a Taylor family heir, it quickly dominated trending lists and sparked widespread discussion.
Amidst this, Maddox Carter and Finn Carter frequently appeared, with their past actions backfiring on them like a double–edged sword.
The tide of public opinion was overwhelming, causing severe damage to the Carter family’s image, while the Taylor family’s strength left the
world in awe.
Meanwhile, I was fully focused on preparing for an international competition.
During our honeymoon, I unexpectedly encountered Maddox and Finn again.
Their sudden appearance was no coincidence, I realized.
“That wedding dress was specially designed for me. Come back with us; don’t be stubborn!” Finn said with a furrowed brow, while Maddox harshly criticized me.
“You’ve got it wrong. That wasn’t meant for you.”
“Our relationship ended the moment you gave the dress to Eloise Bennett to ruin my wedding.”
Concerned passersby stopped them from approaching, and I quickly called the police.
They looked at me in disbelief, as if I had betrayed the family.
“Dahlia Bennett, have you forgotten the Carter family’s kindness in raising you?” Maddox demanded.
I held Griffin’s hand firmly and declared, “I have my own husband now. Please stop disturbing my life.”
Maddox lost his temper and tried to attack Griffin, but I stopped him just in time.
The arrival of the police brought this farce to a temporary halt.
As the police took them away, Griffin remarked, “Let them cool off inside for a few days so they don’t ruin our honeymoon.”
Griffin smiled gently, a hint of coldness in his eyes, but also full of affection.
In the days that followed, I focused entirely on preparing for the competition, ignoring any news about Maddox and Finn.
Until one evening, there was a knock at the door, and there they stood, soaking wet.
They looked worn out, as if they had been through endless struggles.
Yet my first thought was to worry about whether Griffin had taken an umbrella, whether he might get wet in the rain.
Calmly, I prepared to close the door. Maddox urgently called out, “Dahlia, can’t you let us in for a moment?”
