She looked about twenty—Aileen.
Hazel, almond-shaped eyes, a slightly upturned nose, lips flushed with natural color, and a delicate, porcelain face.
She wore a blue wool coat, almost swallowed up inside it, making her seem even more petite.
Olivia Bennett recognized her instantly.
Aileen.
She was even prettier than in all those Instagram photos and TV interviews.
As Olivia gave her a once-over, Aileen did the same back.
It was only a few minutes ago—when Adelina Lane casually dropped the bomb that Ethan Carter was getting married—that Olivia had found out.
She’d always wondered what kind of woman could finally get Ethan Carter, the infamous bachelor, to even consider marriage.
Now, seeing Aileen in person, it kind of made sense.
She was undeniably stunning.
Arched brows, those expressive eyes, a sweet nose, lips curved in a quiet smile. Olivia leaned against Ethan, looking serene, graceful—gentle, even.
She was just wearing a simple set of loungewear—a cozy sweater and leggings—but it didn’t hide her natural elegance.
And standing side by side, she and Ethan looked like they belonged on the cover of some magazine.
Forget Ethan—Olivia herself almost wanted to swoon.
The silence lingered—until Ethan finally broke it.
“What brings you here?” he asked, his voice even.
Olivia straightened up immediately, moving away from him on the couch and sitting up primly, hands folded in her lap, the very picture of Ms. Bennett. Like she hadn’t just been snuggled against him a second ago.
Elaine Carter walked in, a smile in her eyes, looking right at Olivia as she strolled over. “Just came by to grab something—and, well, to check in on my Olivia.”
She was totally at ease, no trace of awkwardness.
Olivia nodded politely.
