Chapter 189

• Regrettably, Roth shook his head, carefully removing Tristan's hands from his face. "I'm sorry, Tristan. I can't," he confessed.
• As Tristan prepared to respond, a familiar voice unexpectedly interrupted him, catching him off guard. Tristan shifted his focus beyond Roth and saw a female figure slowly approaching them. A mixture of betrayal, pain, and realization flashed across Tristan's face as he exchanged a glance with Roth.
• "Darling!" Ivanka called out to Roth, enveloping his neck with her arms and planting a firm kiss on his lips. "You look absolutely stunning," she complimented, adjusting Roth's tie and giving him another kiss.
