Chapter 1253 Chapter 1253: On the first day they were apart, Rhys found himself missing Harlee, so he had Patrick deliver a gift to her. "A surveillance camera?" Harlee raised an eyebrow.
Patrick, scratching his head awkwardly, laughed a bit. "Look, Harlee, I'm just delivering it. For any questions, better to ask Rhys directly, okay?" Quickly thereafter, Patrick mentioned needing to feed his dog and hurriedly left, eager to avoid any from the couple's antics.

She strategically positioned the surveillance camera to capture a wide view and then called Rhys with a chuckle, saying, "Happy now?" Rhys responded with a content hum and then playfully suggested, “Maybe I should have Patrick bring a few more. One camera might not do the trick." "Testfurther, and I'll just turn it off.” Rhys quickly backed down, saying, "Honey, I apologize." He then excitedly sent Harlee a link and said, "Honey, I've set up a little surprise for you. Go ahead and open it." Your escape is on gv In σ vsDriven by curiosity, Harlee clicked the link. It was a live feed from the surveillance camera, showing Rhys waving cheerfully from his location. Harlee couldn't help but laugh. Since recovering his memory, Rhys had reverted to his playfully mischievous self, reminiscent of the days before. "If Brenton and the rest catch you, you're in for a beating before the wedding!" Harlee teased.
With the wedding date announced, Harlee's five brothers had resumed their protective stance, keeping a vigilant eye on Rhys.
Rhys, smiling confidently, assured her as he said, "I'll manage." Besides, he knew well that with his mother-in- law in his corner, Harlee's brothers wouldn't dare lay a hand on his face.
Harlee was at a loss for words. Such audacity was limitless! With a firm press of her lips, she grabbed her phone and approached the camera, swiftly typing a message, saying, "Behave yourself. No visits until the wedding. We'll meet in fifteen days." She then cut off all communication. Next, Harlee draped her coat over the camera, effectively hiding herself from Rhys' view.
She settled onto the couch, snacking on fruit while watching the surveillance feed of Rhys, who appeared both shocked and upset by her actions. A satisfied grin spread across her face as she watched his reaction. Harlee, in a light mood, was delightfully pleased with her mother's advice to avoid seeing each other for the two weeks leading up to the wedding. Right now, she couldn't be seen by Rhys, but she could observe him whenever she wished through the surveillance camera.
Throughout those fifteen days, Harlee completely blocked Rhys, denying any form of contact.

This escapade did not grant Rhys a glimpse of Harlee. Instead, he was beaten up, costing him several million dollars and a piece of land, all forfeited to Brenton.
Knowing Rhys' longing to see her, Harlee occasionally unblocked him for a while.
On the third day of wedding preparations, Harlee started trying on various wedding gowns and outfits. She worked closely with their parents to finalize the details. Although the preparations were not physically demanding, they were mentally draining and time-intensive. Harlee seized every chance to rest. Positioned in front of the makeup mirror with her eyes shut, Harlee was surrounded by a hairstylist, a makeup artist, and a team of assistants. Tension filled the air as the team was cautious, fearing they might upset Harlee.
Throughout their arrival, however, Harlee allowed them to proceed with their a ir tasks without a single complaint.
