As Ariel arrives in Nouburgh, she watches clips of Jayson that evoke a bittersweet sadness, reflecting on the complex and enduring nature of their nearly decade-long love. Earlier, Jayson had surprised her by asking for a simple “I do” video, which he then used to complete a long chain of proposals, finally receiving the answer he had waited for. This moment marked a turning point as they arrived at the wedding venue Jayson had built during their first year of marriage, a sanctuary meant just for them.
The snowy landscape outside contrasts with the warmth inside the cozy guesthouse beside the venue, fulfilling Ariel’s long-held wish to come to Nouburgh. Jayson admits the place isn’t fully prepared but insists they focus on each other rather than the videos on her phone. Their playful exchange reveals a rare vulnerability in Jayson as he explains his original plan: to reveal his love publicly at the wedding and then honeymoon at the venue he built, but recent hardships led him to bring Ariel here earlier for a private moment.
Ariel gently questions what happened to those plans, and Jayson confesses that he had paused everything because he believed Ariel and Lucas were involved, a decision he now regrets deeply. This moment underscores the lingering misunderstandings and emotional complexities in their relationship, setting the stage for their renewed commitment to each other.

Bluum Corp’s stock soared, and the company’s public image hit an unprecedented high. But beyond the financial success, the true victory was that no one could ever doubt Jayson’s love for Ariel again.
When Ariel arrived in Nouburgh, she found herself caught up in the news from Croinia.
Standing by the window, she watched clips of Jayson from different moments in time. Seeing him from this new perspective stirred a bittersweet sadness within her.
Because what she felt in Jayson was a love layered with hardship—a deeper kind of pain beneath the surface.
Their love had never been simple. It had endured nearly ten long years.
Earlier, while they were in the car, Jayson had suddenly asked her to record a short video clip, saying simply, “Say ‘I do.’”
Caught off guard but in a good mood, she had complied without much thought.
Ariel never imagined that he would send that clip back to the wedding venue, completing the long chain of proposal videos he had been collecting over the years. After all this time, he finally received the answer he’d been longing for.
That was also when he told her they were going to Nouburgh.
Outside, heavy snow blanketed Nouburgh in a dazzling white, so bright and pure it almost hurt to look at.
In that moment, it felt as if the entire world had shrunk to just the two of them.
Beyond the glass stood the dreamlike wedding venue Jayson had built during their first year of marriage.
Only now was Ariel finally stepping into the place he had created for her—a sanctuary meant solely for them.
The venue had been meticulously cared for all these years.
The cold outside was sharp, and the snow piled deep, so they chose to stay in the cozy guesthouse beside the venue.
Her long-held wish to come to Nouburgh had finally been fulfilled.
Ariel’s nose tingled as she shifted her gaze between her phone and the enchanting wedding venue outside.
Jayson had arranged everything perfectly.
“Bringing you here wasn’t exactly planned, so the place isn’t fully cleaned up yet,” he admitted with a small smile.
Noticing she was still absorbed in the video, Jayson walked over, raised an eyebrow, and took her phone from her hands. “Alright, enough watching. If you want to know something, just ask me directly. I’ll tell you face-to-face.”
Ariel sniffled, tilting her head playfully at him. “What, getting shy now? That’s unusual for you.”
Though Jayson tried to hide it, she could sense a flicker of bashfulness beneath his calm exterior. She was surprised that even someone like him could get flustered.
He took her hand gently, his eyes flickering down to his wedding ring, then to hers.
“My original plan was for you to watch that video at the wedding, so our friends, family, and even the gossipers back in Croinia could all see how much I love you. That way, no one would ever dare question us again.”
He paused, squeezing her hand lightly.
“Then I was going to bring you here afterward, to see the venue I built for you years ago. That would have been our honeymoon. But you’ve been through so much lately, and I didn’t want you to face all those guests, so I decided to bring you here early instead.”
Though the plan had been somewhat rushed, it had turned out perfectly.
Today was meant just for the two of them.
“You were already planning the wedding back then,” Ariel said softly. “What happened after that?”
Jayson met her gaze steadily. “After that, I thought you and Lucas had something going on, so I put everything on hold. Looking back now, I really regret it.”
The chapter closes on a tender note, capturing the quiet resilience and enduring love between Jayson and Ariel. Despite the years of hardship and misunderstanding, their bond remains unbroken, strengthened by the heartfelt gestures and the intimate sanctuary Jayson created for them. The emotional weight of their past is gently acknowledged, yet overshadowed by the hope and sincerity that now define their relationship. Their journey, marked by patience and unspoken devotion, finally finds a moment of peace and clarity.
This chapter beautifully highlights the themes of vulnerability, forgiveness, and the power of love to heal wounds over time. The contrast between the public spectacle of their wedding and the private, snowy retreat in Nouburgh underscores the depth of their connection beyond appearances. It is a poignant reminder that true love often requires patience and understanding, and that sometimes, the most meaningful moments are those shared quietly, away from the world’s gaze.
