Cian Channing, in a scramble, saw Lauren's boyfriend, Max, standing before her with a smile and holding flowers. Many people were around, including Tessa, the old man, the butler... even Faye went downstairs.
She felt helpless, her body stiff, not daring to look closely at what kind of expressions were on their faces.
She tried her best to control her expression, staring blankly at Max. Before she could think of a proper response, to dispel everyone's doubts and avoid speculation, she simply played the part of Lauren.
Max suddenly knelt down on one knee, facing Cian, and like magic, he brought out a box, opening it to reveal a delicate diamond ring that sparkled brilliantly in the light.
"Lauren, would you marry me?" Max asked sincerely, gazing into her eyes quietly.
Everyone held their breath, smiling as they watched this scene.
"..." Cian was completely stunned, tears glistening in her eyes, her face lit up with a smile of happiness.
