The Divorced Heiress Is Entering a New Marriage

Chapter 245

The wedding was slowly taking shape, but preparations were put on hold for something even more important: the Cooper family’s famous Haunted House event. This annual event was well–known in the city, inviting children and teenagers to come and enjoy a day of spooky fun.

“I imagine they’ve paused the wedding plans for the big Halloween event,” one reporter commented.

“This event is actually more exciting because it will be the first one organized by Deborah,” another reporter added.

“I’m already eager to see how it turns out.”

“Everyone is curious to see if this year’s event will live up to the grand creations made by her mother–in- law, or… if it will be a total disappointment.”

“We’ll find out in a few days.”

“Thanks for adding more pressure,” Deborah muttered with a grimace, letting out a sigh as she turned off the TV and refocused on her organization plan.

James was sitting in his chair, keeping her company.

“You know, James, I envy you. You just have to wear a costume and have fun.”

The little one laughed as he played with his rattle.

“Don’t worry, sweetie. Mommy will work hard to learn about these events so that when you’re older, you can enjoy them with your friends and create beautiful memories, unlike mine,” she said, sighing.

Having grown up somewhat isolated from the world, Deborah never had the chance to attend these kinds of events in her childhood, but that wouldn’t stop her now. She was determined to create a haunted

mansion that everyone would love.

With just a week left before the event, today was the final day to present her idea to the family.

Admittedly, design wasn’t her strong suit, and it showed in her strange conceptual drawing, which consisted of some circles with stick figures and a few words to explain things.

“What do you think, James?” she asked, showing her drawing to the little one.

James was more interested in his rattle than in what his mommy was showing him.

“I bet you’ll be drawing better than mommy,” she said, grimacing. “Well, it’s time for the moment of truth,” she decided, picking up her little one and heading to the living room where the others were waiting.

James babbled excitedly.

“Thanks for the encouragement,” she said, smiling as they made their way.

When she arrived in the living room, she noticed that the Coopers were already there, looking a bit serious as they waited for her.

“Well, Deborah, we’re all ears,” Jayden said in a serious tone, which made Deborah a little nervous.

“Yes, um…”

“Why don’t you hand James to us so you can present without any trouble?” Eric suggested, noticing she had a large poster in her hands.

“Oh, right,” she said, passing the little chair to her in–laws, who placed James comfortably between them.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Um… okay, so, as you can see,” she began, unfolding the poster.

“Ma’am.”

“Hm?” she looked up to see one of the servants bringing over a whiteboard for her to pin her drawing on for a better explanation. “Oh, thank you,” she said, pinning the poster to the board. “Now, let’s start.”

She took a deep breath and began explaining her plans the activities for the children, how the decorations would be distributed throughout the garden, and all the little details she had thought of to make the event special.

“And that’s everything… um… what do you think?” she asked nervously.

The Coopers exchanged looks, whispering to each other while occasionally glancing at Deborah, who was starting to feel more anxious.

After a minute–which felt like an eternity to Deborah–Jayden stood up and approached her, placing his hands on her shoulders.

“Jayden?”

“You know something, Deborah…” he began, his tone serious.

“Yes?” Now Deborah was a bit scared.

“This design is incredible!” he declared, grabbing her by the waist and lifting her off the ground.

“Woah… Jayden,” she laughed, surprised by his actions as she clung to his shoulders to avoid falling or getting dizzy. “Are you serious? But my drawing…”

“This isn’t a blueprint competition, sweetheart,” Samantha said. “Besides, you’ve explained your idea clearly, and we really like your vision because you’re introducing fresh ideas that will capture the attention of our young guests.”
