His words fell, and Summer Shawcross was stunned, her heart surprisingly... suddenly felt calm.

All the tension and unease just now disappeared magically after his steady voice rang out.

She was silent for a long time before remembering what Old Mr. Drexler had said earlier, asking him the question she cared about.

"Then... will you marry Autumn Duval?"

Although she didn’t know exactly what he wanted from Old Mr. Drexler, it seemed to be something very important to him and something he must obtain.

So... would he marry Autumn Duval for the item in Old Mr. Drexler’s possession?

As soon as she opened her mouth with the question, Noah Drexler pressed his thin lips together but did not immediately answer her, instead remaining silent for a while...

The next second, his incredibly firm voice suddenly rang out.

"I won’t betray you."

Upon hearing this, Summer Shawcross’s heart trembled!

He said, he wouldn’t betray her...

A few seconds later, his voice continued to speak.

"It’s just a wedding, it doesn’t mean anything!"

Upon hearing this, Summer Shawcross paused, her face paling.

He said... it’s just a wedding, it doesn’t mean anything... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But he doesn’t know that not having a complete wedding with him back then had already become a regret in her heart.

So, would he really have a wedding with Autumn Duval?

Thinking of this, Summer Shawcross’s heart suddenly ached with waves of pain.

She was silent for a while before suddenly lifting her head, looking earnestly at Noah Drexler and asking.

"Noah Drexler, can you tell me what exactly you need to get from Old Mr. Drexler?"

Earlier, from Noah Drexler’s conversation with Old Mr. Drexler, she gathered that if Noah Drexler wanted to take her away from here, he had every capability to do so.

But... since he could take her away, why is he still being bound by him?

Just for that item?

So she really wanted to know what exactly it was that made him have to stay here and even agree to Old Mr. Drexler’s demand to have a wedding with Autumn Duval?

Her look of distress and confusion made Noah Drexler’s pupils contract slightly.

He stared into her eyes for a while, before a look of heartache passed over his handsome face.

A moment later, he finally moved his lips to respond.

"It’s an item... that absolutely must be acquired."

Must be acquired...

His words left Summer Shawcross stunned.

Is the item so important that it absolutely must be acquired?

More important than her...

For a moment, her heart suddenly felt a bit sour.

After a long while, Summer Shawcross finally calmed down a bit, and she faintly spoke.

"I understand."

After speaking, she turned around.

To watch her husband, the man she loves, marry another woman, that feeling... she couldn’t imagine!

But she knew, it would surely be a heart-wrenching pain!

"I’m tired and want to rest for a while."

After softly saying that, she took her steps and walked towards the second floor of the small building.

Watching her slowly ascending figure, Noah Drexler’s gaze was momentarily lost...

At this moment, Sean Morgan quickly walked in holding a phone, arriving beside Noah Drexler, reminding him.

"Boss, it’s Dr. Niles calling."

Upon hearing this, Noah Drexler’s expression changed slightly, he turned around, raised his hand to take the phone from Sean Morgan, then glanced in the direction of the staircase leading to the second floor before turning and striding away.
