Chapter 341:
His smile was warm, his nod appreciative, sparking an even louder round of applause from the audience.
“Dotson’s so genuine and humble! It’s no surprise he’s so beloved.”
“He’s not just talented; he’s a literary marvel. Every book he crafts turns to gold!”
“Have there been any updates about the new book? Come on, share with us!”
With a teasing, enigmatic smile, Dotson leaned closer to the audience. “Indeed, part of why we’re here today is to unveil some thrilling updates about my upcoming book. The past few months have been brutal—stuck in a battle with relentless writer’s block, desperately trying to summon my inspiration. And now, I am here, reawakened, with my creativity shining brighter than ever.
“And there’s more. Let me take this moment to express my gratitude to someone who’s been my rock through everything.”
Dotson’s face betrayed a touch of sentiment as his eyes scanned the audience, as though seeking a specific figure.
“If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be here today. She has been my compass when I’ve felt lost, my pillar of strength during times of doubt. Thank you, Latonia! Your role in this journey has been indispensable. Half of this success is rightfully yours. Today, I step out from behind my stories to celebrate this triumph alongside you.”
Dotson’s declaration ignited a wave of excitement among the fans.
“Could this be a confession of love?”
“Unbelievable! I had no idea Dotson had a girlfriend. He really kept it under wraps!”
“It’s so romantic! You’ve been with me throughout my journey, and now I want to make it official. Oh, how I yearn for such a sweet romance myself.”
Hearing their animated chatter, Dotson felt a surge of secret delight warming his heart.
Indeed, the atmosphere was drenched in romance, as if it were a scene plucked from a cherished novel.
This day was proving exceptional. Not only could he see Latonia, but he would also announce his new book and declare his love—all during an extraordinary fan gathering.

Dotson gathered his composure and called out, “Latonia, are you among us? If you can hear my voice, please grace the stage with your presence.”
The fans immediately began a fervent search, eyes darting around in anticipation of spotting the enigmatic special guest.
Suddenly, a fan’s voice pierced the murmurs. “Over there! She must be Latonia.”
Every gaze converged on a figure cloaked in black, her identity veiled by a mask intricately decorated with a black rose design, as she gracefully emerged from the shadows.
“That’s Black Rose, the secretive alter ego of the heroine in Dotson’s second novel.”
“That has to be Latonia, the woman Dotson talked about. This is incredibly surreal. Dotson professed his love for all to hear, and there she was, dressed like the heroine from a novel. It’s as if we’re living in a dream.”
The fans naturally dispersed, forging a clear path for the star of the show to make her grand entrance onto the stage.
Dotson also adjusted his attire, placing one hand behind his back and the other over his chest, exuding the demeanor of a royal gentleman.
The Edwards family smiled at the scene.
“It seems Dotson has found his love,” Delilah said. “Now, I’m eager to know what kind of lovely woman will become my sister-in-law.”
“Hah! Maybe it’s a man,” Carman teased, eyes twinkling with mischief. “Who’s to say she isn’t in disguise?”
“Carman, stop talking such foolishness,” Laurie retorted sharply, her glare piercing. “One glance is enough to see she’s undoubtedly a woman. How could you mistake her for a man?”
Despite her certainty, she couldn’t shake a nagging sense of familiarity about the woman.
