She was relentlessly pursuing Adrian's affections, sparing no effort in her quest to ensnare his heart. Upon becoming Adrian's betrothed, she found herself the center of attention, with everyone seeking her favor. She reveled in the envious glances that followed her every move. This was why she was so desperate to secure her position as the legitimate Mrs. Howard.In a high-end boutique within a bustling shopping mall. "Adrian, I bought you a shirt yesterday. Why don't you try it on?" Alice suggested, her voice filled with anticipation. However, Adrian did not change into the shirt Alice had chosen for him. It was visibly a size too small, a detail that did not escape his notice."Alice, have you seen my dark green tie?" Adrian queried, his eyes scanning the room. "The one I keep in my drawer?""The dark green one?" Alice's heart skipped a beat. She remembered that tie all too well - it was the one she had discarded. She struggled to decipher Adrian's thoughts, and his question made her even more apprehensive. "No, what happened to it?" she asked, feigning ignorance.Adrian's brow furrowed, and the warmth in his eyes faded slightly. "You didn't touch it?" he asked, his tone noticeably colder.Alice was taken aback by the sudden shift in Adrian's demeanor. His emotions seemed to have changed in the blink of an eye. "Did I say something wrong?" she wondered aloud, genuinely perplexed. She couldn't fathom why that tie, which seemed like a cheap piece of fabric to her, held such importance to Adrian.
