Lara dreaded family gatherings because her sister Emily always mocked her single life. Determined to survive her father’s birthday dinner, Lara hired Jake, a charming and understanding fake boyfriend. Jake played along with their fabricated relationship story, impressing Lara’s family with his grace and humor at dinner. During dessert, Jake surprised everyone with a heartfelt toast to Lara, revealing his true feelings:
“I’d like to propose a toast,” Jake said, his eyes meeting Lara’s. “Firstly, to the man of the evening, happy birthday, sir! May this new chapter bring you all the joy you deserve.”
“But I’d also like to toast to the most incredible woman I’ve ever met. Lara, you’re intelligent, kind, and you have the most infectious laugh. I can’t stop admiring you, and I haven’t since the moment we met.”
Touched, Lara confessed her gratitude to Jake, who then revealed his feelings were genuine. They decided to pursue a real relationship. Months later, they remained together, keeping their origin story secret from the family to avoid Emily’s ridicule.
