Chapter 564:
Kelsey and Shepard only stopped kissing when the sharp blast of a car horn startled them.
Glancing into the rearview mirror, Kelsey spotted a row of cars behind them. Shepard had unknowingly stopped at the intersection, blocking traffic from moving forward. Realizing it, he restarted the engine at once and continued driving.
Amelia, on the other hand, remained completely unaware of what had unfolded at the hospital. So when Kelsey limped into Hillside Villa the following day, Amelia’s eyes were immediately filled with concern.
“Kelsey, what happened to you p>
“It’s nothing serious, just a sprain. I actually came to ask a favor,” Kelsey said.
“Alright, tell me what you need p>

Kelsey spoke directly. “I want you to come with me to Hans p>
Kelsey’s goal was clear—she intended to settle her marriage with Shepard as soon as possible. Since Shepard had already visited her parents in Kretol, she believed she needed to go to Hans to meet his family as well.
Because of her sprained ankle, Shepard advised postponing the trip until she recovered. Kelsey, however, was determined to go without delay. As she spoke, she also gave Amelia a quick account of the trouble Salome had stirred up at the hospital the previous night.
Amelia’s expression darkened after hearing about Salome’s behavior. “Your cousin truly has a spiteful heart p>
Had anyone else been Kelsey’s boyfriend, the marriage might have fallen apart on the spot.
The thought of Salome left Kelsey fuming. “She’s doing everything she can to stop me from marrying Shepard. But I won’t let her win. The more she wishes for my misery, the more determined I am to find happiness p>
Kelsey held Amelia’s hand. “So, will you go to Hans with me or not p>
Amelia’s smile was genuine as she replied, “This is about your happiness as well as my brother’s. Naturally, I’ll go with you p>
When Wyatt returned to Hillside Villa at noon, he overheard Amelia mentioning her plan to travel to Hans.
He paused briefly, then said, “I’ll accompany you p>
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Amelia clasped his hand and tried to dissuade him. “You already have so much to handle at the company. I don’t want to add to your burden. I’ll be fine, and my brother will be by my side. It’s only a three-day trip at most p>
Wyatt firmly shook his head. “No. I won’t feel at ease letting you go without me p>
Despite Amelia’s repeated attempts to change his mind, Wyatt remained resolute about going with her. Eventually, she gave in and agreed to let him join her.
Later that afternoon, Shepard’s private plane touched down in Hans.
Inside the arrival hall, Weldon was already waiting. The moment he spotted Amelia and the others, he hurried over to greet them. Shepard looked at Weldon with surprise. “Why are you here? Where’s Marlon p>
