Chapter 1242:
Annabel, watching Margo, said nothing.
As the media swarmed Margo and Dunn, bombarding them with questions, they had little room to focus on anything else.
“Miss Perez, could you tell us when your relationship with Mr. Hopkins began? Were you together before today’s public announcement p>
“Miss Perez, rumors have been circulating online that something is going on between you and Rory, and it seems you never denied them. Why is that p>
“Can you tell us how your relationship came to be p>
As the media’s questions kept coming, Margo began to feel overwhelmed. Sensing her distress, Dunn—standing at her side—stepped forward and answered the difficult questions himself.
“To be honest, I’ve been a fan of Margo for quite some time. I was captivated by her the first time I saw her. I’ve never been very good at winning a girl’s heart, so it’s a pleasant surprise that Margo agreed to be my girlfriend p>
Dunn handled each question with ease. He navigated the inquiries smoothly, answering what he could while skillfully steering away from anything that dug too deeply into Margo’s private life.
Margo looked up at Dunn, a flicker of guilt rising in her chest. After all, she had agreed to be his girlfriend on impulse.
As if he sensed her gaze, Dunn turned toward her, and their eyes met.
Startled, Margo saw her own reflection in his pupils, and her mind went blank for a moment. A tangle of emotions churned inside her.
The reporters around them snapped photos nonstop, eager to turn the moment into tomorrow’s headline.
Shortly after, at Annabel’s signal, Margo’s agent stepped forward and redirected the media, urging them to ask questions about the new drama instead. With that, the interview about the couple came to an end.

Just as Margo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she felt her hand being squeezed gently.
When she looked up, she saw a soft smile on Dunn’s face.
“I’m really happy you agreed to be my girlfriend,” Dunn said, still holding her hand, the smile never leaving his face.
It was a moment he had dreamed of more than once. Now it was happening right in front of him.
Seeing Dunn so openly radiant felt unfamiliar to Margo. She had always known him to be calm and composed, but now she was seeing a crack in that restraint—a hint of flustered warmth she had never witnessed before.
“You’re hurting me,” Margo whispered, glancing down at her hand, which he was gripping too tightly. Then she looked up at him, a little helpless.
“Oh… sorry.” Dunn immediately realized what he was doing and quickly let go.
“I thought doctors were usually good at controlling their emotions. I’ve never seen you act like this before,” Margo couldn’t help saying, teasing him lightly.
“Actually, this isn’t the first time I’ve acted like this,” Dunn confessed, his gaze soft as he looked at her. “From the first day I saw you, to the first time I spoke to you and invited you to dinner… I only get nervous when it has something to do with you p>
