Chapter 460: Chapter 460: From This Moment On, I Say I Love You
Tiana Grayson’s eyes filled with surprise when she saw Mika Summers sitting next to Tristan Grayson.
Just then, Kiki ran over to Tiana. He wrapped his small arms around her legs and called out affectionately, "Auntie, you’re back."
"Mhm, I’ve really missed you lately, Kiki." Tiana shook off her thoughts, smiling as she crouched down to kiss Kiki on the cheek.
"I missed you too, Auntie." Kiki hugged Tiana’s neck tightly and whispered in her ear, "Auntie, I have a secret to tell you."
"What is it?" Tiana’s smile widened at Kiki’s mysterious expression.
"I have a mommy! And she’s back! She’s going to stay with me and Daddy."
Tiana’s eyes welled up at his words. She smiled gently and said, "Of course you have a mommy, Kiki. Are you happy now that she’s back?"
"So happy!"
"Good. I’m happy too."
Tiana stood up, still holding Kiki, and walked over to the sofa.
As she neared Mika, Kiki was already reaching for his mother. Mika smiled dotingly and took him into her arms.
"Mika, you’re finally home," Tiana said, her voice thick with emotion as she smiled.
"Mhm." Mika didn’t say anything more, simply nodding as her own voice caught in her throat.
Hearing this, Tristan wrapped his arm around her waist, leaned close to her ear, and murmured, "Don’t cry. It breaks my heart, and I’ll only blame myself."
Mika fought back her tears and shook her head. "I’m not crying. I’m just so happy."
"We’ll be so happy from now on."
Mika leaned into Tristan’s embrace and nodded.
Joseph Summers and his wife, along with Caleb Grayson and his, all smiled in relief to see the two of them finally reconciled.
Tiana was overjoyed to see her brother and sister-in-law so happy. But as she smiled, her vision began to blur until she could barely see a thing.
So blurry... so very blurry...
Mika and Tristan’s wedding plans were set. They would get engaged on the eighth of next month and married at the end of the month.
The first time they’d gotten married, they had simply signed a certificate. This time, however, they were determined to have a grand celebration. Tristan wanted everyone to know that he was getting married.
The main reason Tristan insisted on such a grand affair was that he had been infuriated by the sight of her engagement party with Silas Kent when he’d gone to Austerra to find her.
Of course, this was something he could never let Mika know.
He had sworn to himself then and there: when he and Mika got engaged, their celebration had to be even more magnificent.

「That night, after they returned home.」
Tristan put the sleeping Kiki to bed in another room. He then turned, swept Mika into his arms, and headed for the master bedroom.
"Ah, Tristan, I’m exhausted today." They had been busy all day, and Mika felt ready to collapse. ’Where would I possibly find the energy to do that with Tristan...’
"It’s fine. You just lie there and rest. I’ll do all the work."
"Tristan, put me down!" ’What does he mean, I can just lie there and rest? If he’s doing it, how am I supposed to get any rest?’
"Nope."
"Tristan, put me down! If you don’t, I’m going to get angry!" she snapped, struggling to get out of his arms.
The moment he heard she was actually getting angry, Tristan immediately set her down. "Honey, just once? Please?"
"No. I’ve made up my mind. Until we’re officially married, you can’t touch me. And you can’t make a move on me."
