The next day, with swollen eyes, she opened the door

To her surprise, the three brothers were standing side, besitating writing

When they saw her, they quickly handed her several boxes contain

"Kate, these are similar bracelets we searched all over the city to find ease don't he go anymore, okay?

But Katerina didn't even look at them.

"No, those aren't my parents' heirlooms, Besides, this is my own matter, so there's no need to tronkie treble

you, gentlemen."

Seeing her so indifferent, the three of them immediately panicked

Ethan sighed helplessly. "Kate, do you really have to become so distant with us?

"You know how we feel about you," he said softly.

Tony and Andrew both spoke at the same time: "We know you've been paying attention to Bethany recently, but Bethany saved our lives. We're good to her because we owe her. But you're different, you're the one we truly care about." Truly care about?

Hearing those words again, Katerina almost laughed through her tears.

She smiled and said, "Then you don't need to worry about your affection, because

already

Seeing her still joking about her marriage, the three brothers immediately darkened their expressions. Just as they were about to speak, Bethany suddenly called.

"Ethan, Tony, Andrew, I accidentally fell while changing a lightbulb, it hurts so much...

Immediately, the three of them panicked and hung up the phone, looking at Katerina.

"Kate, stop joking about your marriage. If you're not happy with these things, we'll go find more for you!"

Before she could respond, the three of them rushed out of the house one by one.

For three consecutive days, the three brothers didn't return home, but the messages from Katerina kept coming in

In the photos, Ethan was gently applying medicine to her, Tony was holding a bouquet of flowers and placing it in a vase, while Andrew was feeding her fruit.

"Miss, look, I just twisted my ankle, but they care so much about me. They're so attentive to me. I don't even know how to repay them."

Katerina glanced at the photos, but she pretended not to see them.

She was too busy sorting through everything related to the three brothers over the years.

The veil they had draped over her head when they played house as children;

The white dress, crystal shoes, and diamond tiara they gave her for her coming-of-age ceremony; And the letter in the drawer, a letter that never had the chance to be sent.

Everything, everything, was thrown into the firepit. After lighting it, she watched it all slowly burn. As she looked at the dwindling flames and the objects turning to ash, it felt as if all the past had. finally disappeared.

When the brothers returned, they happened to see this scene, their hearts stopping at the sight. "Kate, what are you doing?!"

Andrew shouted, hurriedly trying to get water to put out the fire.

Ethan and Tony also rushed to grab anything they could to extinguish the flames.

But Ethan just quietly watched. Since the fire was burning fast, by the time it was put out, nothing had been saved.

Only ashes remained in the firepit, with some charred fragments.

Tony looked at her in disbelief, "Kate, what's going on? Why did you burn all these things?"

"I told you, I'm getting married. If my husband sees these, he might misunderstand. So I decided to burn it all."

Seeing her so cold, the three men were in a panic, almost thinking she was serious.

But then they quickly reassured themselves in their minds - no, it's impossible! She would never

marry!

Ethan's gaze darkened, his brows furrowed slightly. "Kate, this is enough of a tantrum. There's no point in continuing with this act." Katerina simply stared at them, coldly saying, "Tomorrow noon, I invite you all to attend the

wedding."
