Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 40

Downstairs? Which downstairs? Mikayla was confused.

“Prairie, Carlos‘ voice cut through her thoughts.

Carlos, can’t you let me have some secrets? Mikayla thought helplessly. Five minutes later, she went downstairs and, sure enough, saw a bold and flashy Ford parked outside, catching everyone’s eye.

Carlos was leaning casually against the car, dressed in a dark blue trench coat, holding a bouquet of vibrant roses. As Mikayla walked up, a soft light flickered in his deep–set eyes.

When she reached him, she looked like a delicate flower next to the tall and handsome Carlos, who resembled the and seemingly untouchable.

sky–cool noble.

Mikayla accepted the roses, and Carlos opened the car door for her, gallantly shielding her head as she got in

Since Josiah had been assigned to Mikayla, Carlos either relied on Kashton for rides or drove himself.

“Carlos, I’m running out of places to put them. Ever since they had confirmed their relationship, he had been sending her three bouquets daily

without fail.

“I want to give you the best. His rich, deep voice added an irresistible charm to his affectionate words.

Mikayla’s cheeks flushed instantly. She thought, ‘Carlos, are you sure you’ve never been in love before! You seem to have an endless supply of romantic lines?

“We’ll be on the headlines ap

again tomorrow, Mikayla complained. Ever since they started dating, they had been a staple in Xosa’s media.

Carlos raised an eyebrow. “Our love can’t be low–key”

Fine. Carlos, you win, Mikayla thought

“Carlos, let’s go to Vita Nova Plaza first. I didn’t have time to get a gift” She had planned to shop after finishing her work but didn’t expect Carlos to be so punctual. All she had in her bag was a monetary gift prepared by Sylvia for Natasha

Tve already bought them. They’re in the trunk,” Carlos said,

Carlos then detailed the preferences of Garrett and Selena, as well as Natasha’s likes. Each gill was carefully matched to a specific colored box. All Mikayla had to do was follow his lead and use the gifts he had chosen to win over the Ludwig family.

On her past visits to Jaxon’s parents, Mikayla had to start preparing gifts at least a week in advance and always felt anxious about whether they would be well–received. Now, she felt it remarkably easy.

The car soon drove into the Ludwig mansion, nestled on a hillside, a haven for the wealthy. The Lindstrom family lived nearby too.

Behind the intricately carved gates lay a sprawling estate reminiscent of a royal garden, its design an architectural marvel. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Garrett and Selena were already waiting at the entrance.

After instructing the staff to retrieve the items from the trunk, Carlos took Mikayla’s hand and led her inside. His rough, calloused palm warmed both her hand and her heart

Upon seeing them hand in hand, Garrett and Selena beamed with joy.

“Mikayla, we know you’re busy. Thanks for coming. We hope it wasn’t too much trouble, Selena greeted Mikayla warmly.

When they entered the grand living room, the table had been laden with gifts that Carlos had chosen for Garrett, Selena, and Natasha

“You didn’t have to bring so many things, Garrett exclaimed, though he was clearly delighted. While the Ludwig family didn’t lack material goods, gifts from a future daughter–in–law held a special significance.

“I’m not sure if you’d like them. I chose them rather hastily Mikayla said, glancing at Carlos. Since she hadn’t picked the gifts herself, she felt a bit guilty,

From her first meeting with Carlos‘ parents, Mikayla had sensed their kindness, which reassured her that any future conflicts would be minor. “This is a gift for Natasha. Carlos told me she loves painting,” Mikayla said, holding up a lavender gift box.

“Of course, she’ll love it! Natasha has been eagerly asking when you would arrive since this morning” Selena responded joyfully. She then turned in
