As I exited the old mansion, I found myself tightly surrounded by a swarm of paparazzi with cameras and eager fans.
"Miss, what's your relationship with Dashiell? Why were you at his parents' house?"
"Are you his aunt? You're so gorgeous!"
"Do you often have dinner with Dashiell? Is he as handsome and gentle in person as we imagine?"
"What's really going on between big bro and Iris? We're going crazy! Did you see the scene at the airport last time he picked her up? I was so upset I couldn't sleep well for three whole days."
Caught in the middle, I was mistaken for Dashiell's relative. They speculated about my identity for a long time, never guessing that I was Dashiell's lawful wife, registered in his household.
Of course, if I were in their shoes, I'd rather believe the dazzling Iris was his wife than suspect an ordinary woman with an out-of-shape figure.
Just as I was about to speak, the crowd surrounding me suddenly dispersed, swarming like bees towards something behind me.
