Chapter 476
William had been standing beside me the entire time. But the moment the finale started lighting up the sky, he suddenly leaned in closer. His overly intimate proximity made me instinctively want to step back, but he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me back in
Before I could say anything, he said, “Let’s take a few intimate–looking couple photos.”
I originally wanted to struggle against him, but his words immediately made me freeze. A busy man like William had spent so much money and gone through all this trouble just to put on a show of romance. So how could I not cooperate?
Except, he was too close. I had never been this physically close with another man, so William’s proximity muddled my brain. With no idea how to react, I could only let him guide me into different poses.
I finally returned to my senses once we had finished taking pictures. It occurred to me that I had to have been too stiff, so I felt the photos surely wouldn’t look good.
Worried that this would mess up what William had worked hard to achieve today, I naturally wanted to check the photos. If they weren’t good enough, we would retake them. But who would’ve thought I would be stunned by what I saw?
William, being who he was, had hired an unbelievably skilled photographer. So, even though I had been so stiff, the photographer had still found the perfect angles
These photos looked so good that even I believed William and I were the most loving couple in the world.
The few shots that had been taken under the fireworks looked especially romantic and dreamy. They were the kind of photos that made you unable to resist wanting to fall in love just from looking at them.
As such, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “The photographer you’ve hired is incredible, Mr. Ashford! His timing and angles are flawless!”
William only smiled at me in response.
It was the photographer who spoke up instead. “You flatter me, Ms. Quill, but I’m really not that talented. You and Mr. Ashford are just made for each other! With you two standing side by side, your poses or the angles don’t matter–every shot will turn out enchantingly.romantic!”
The photographer’s words weren’t something William had told him to say. He was speaking from the heart.
As one of the world’s renowned photographers, he had seen his fair share of good–looking people and breathtaking views. But even he was blown away by the visual of us standing together.
To him, William was flawless and almost unnaturally perfect, while I was beautifully stunning.
When we stood together, it really was as the photographer had said. There was no need to hunt for good angles, retouching, or filters–every shot looked like it belonged in a movie. We looked like a perfect couple in every photo.
“Mr. Ashford, when you and your fiancée need a wedding photographer, please call me!” the photographer exclaimed.
William and I already looked so stunning without being made up. So, the photographer couldn’t even imagine how dazzling we would look if we dressed up properly.

William was visibly in a good mood from the photographer’s praises about how perfect we were together.
“Sure. We’ll definitely hire you when it’s time to shoot our wedding photos,” he replied.
With that, he turned to Matthew beside him and instructed him to pay the photographer double.
Considering the photographer’s original rate was already sky–high, the doubled payment had him overcome with excitement.
To him , it was already rewarding enough to capture such wonderful portraits. But now, with the doubled pay, it really made life worth living.
William was already a high–profile public figure. Anything he did in public easily drew media attention, much less an extravagant PR stunt.
So, by the next morning, news of what William had done was all over the internet. His act of renting out Fabledom to spend time with me, his fiancée, had made all the headlines.
