“I…” Nicole was so nervous that she did not know what to say. Her mind went blank for the first time in
her life.
“Marry him, Nicole.” Lulu cheered Nicole on in the crowd.
“Marry him.” June echoed.
Samuel was also excited. “What are you waiting for, Nicole? Marry him.”
Even Spencer was anxious, hoping his sister would give her nod to marry Jared. The same was true
for Stanley and Steve. They were also waiting for Nicole’s answer.
Mr. Riddle Sr saw Nicole’s hesitation and sighed. “What are you still hesitating about, Nicole?”
His words sobered Nicole up a little. She remembered his grandfather used to express his hope for
them to get engaged soonest, and now his dream was coming true. She could not help but glance at
Daniel and Gloria
Her mother’s eyes were filled with anticipation, and she gave Nicole a nod of encouragement, waiting
for Nicole to make the decision
At this moment, Nicole found the answer in her heart and looked back at Jared, ‘I do.”
“Wow. It’s awesome.”
“It is so romantic.” Lulu and June cheered, and June was so excited that she pulled on Samuel’s arm.
Samuel blushed instantly When June realized her gaffe, she quickly pulled back her hands. “I-I’m
sorry.”
Samuel looked away awkwardly, “No, it’s alright.” He did not know why his heart just thumped
uncontrollably
On stage, upon hearing her answer, Jared opened the velvet box, took out a diamond, and put it on
Nicole’s finger at once.
The dazzling diamond was making all the women at the scene envious and jealous.
Jared took her hand, got to his feet, and drew her into his arms with a smile. His genuine embrace
gave Nicole a sense of assurance She had never thought that someone would someday propose to her
on such an occasion. Less so, an excellent man like Jared. She hugged him back, albeit shyly, to
express her Joy
Jared could feel Nicole’s excitement, and he could not help but smile. “Let’s go.’ He let go of her. All he
wanted now was to bring Nicole away and be alone with her
“Okay. Nicole smiled, her face blushing
The two walked out of the venue in full view of everyone
Gloria was shedding tears of happiness as Daniel drew her in his arms. Nicole’s five brothers were all
smiles, giving the two of them their blessing. With his dream coming true, Mr. Riddle Sr looked at Mr
Johnston Sr with great relish
As his grandson had lell, Mr Johnston Sr. came back onstage, “Thank you all for coming to the party
today I’m a bit tired today I’d like to excuse myself and go to rest first. Please enjoy yourselves”
He then did not forget to look at Henry “Take Castor and Murphy with you to entertain the guests and
clean up the main
Only then did Henry come to his senses and nod. “I will.” But deep down inside, he felt as if he had
been completely crushed. The party was not held for him, but he was asked to clean up the mess. He
gritted his teeth, wishing he could smash everything up. But he knew he could only put up with it. Now,
Mr Johnston Sr. had Jared as his backer; there was nothing he could do now. Had he known this would
happen, he would have sent the old man to meet Jared’s parents in the afterlife last time.
