Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057

Should our enemies choose this moment to strike, we’d find ourselves at a disadvantage, caught in the eye of the storm.

After pondering for a while, I proposed, “Caleb, perhaps we should address those issues before we consider marriage.

”

“What issues?” Caleb seemed ignorant.

I listed them out methodically.

“For instance, the mystery of how Dylan ended up as Denise’s child.

Where is the missing Luis? The origin of the poison in the fog forest, and who’s behind it?”

“Stop right there!” Caleb interrupted me abruptly.

“Yes, these matters need attention, but they shouldn’t stop our wedding plans.

We can look into them post-marriage.

”

My worry didn’t ease.

After a moment’s thought, I expressed, “In theory, they might not conflict, yet I fear a hasty wedding could invite trouble from those with ill intent, complicating matters further.

Additionally, I’ve been feeling unusually anxious lately, which has been quite troubling.

”

Caleb gave me a long look, pondering, then replied, “With everything that’s been going on, it’s understandable you’re feeling stressed and might be overthinking things.

”

“No…” I felt compelled to clarify.

Despite the apparent calm, I sensed underlying turmoil.

I asserted seriously.

“I won’t be at peace until these mysteries are unraveled.

”

Caleb, always practical, reasoned, “The issues you’re concerned about won’t be resolved quickly.

Instead of fretting over potential problems, let’s focus on our wedding.

If any trouble arises, avoiding marriage won’t shield us from it.

”

“But…”

Despite my lingering doubts, I was about to further argue my point when unexpectedly, Ivy sided with Caleb, urging me on with fervor.

“Darling, don’t second-guess yourself.

Agree to Caleb’s proposal! Marriage is nothing to fear!”

Ivy’s interjection threw me off track, almost causing me to lose sight of my initial argument.

“Don’t dig your heels in, Debra.

Caleb’s making sense.

The issues you’re fretting over won’t be resolved immediately.

The best course of action is to proceed with the marriage,” Ivy insisted.

Despite Ivy’s convincing words, I couldn’t shake off the suspicion that her eagerness was more about her own desire to be with Damien than about my concerns.

Choosing to overlook Ivy’s comments, I took a moment before expressing my genuine feelings.

“Caleb, I still believe it’s not the right time.

”

At this, Caleb’s expression turned sour.

He released his hold on me and said in frustration, “It sounds Like you’re just looking for reasons to avoid marrying me, aren’t you?”

He then turned away and shut his eyes, dismissing my attempts at clarification and refusing to listen.

I decided to let him have his space to cool off.

With a heavy heart, I headed to bed early.

Expecting Caleb’s anger to subside by morning, I was surprised to find it hadn’t.

His side of the bed was empty and cold to the touch.

Where could he have gone so early?

I tried calling Caleb, but my calls went unanswered.

Clearly, he was still upset.
