The hall was still bustling with activity when Ella returned to it.

She unconsciously cruised down the hall and saw Eden, not far away at the moment, chatting away with Jonas, seemingly sensing her gaze and turning her back directly to her.

Ella was speechless.

Is this one so childish?

Or is it a child's quarrel? I can't believe you're doing this to her.

Mo was angry.

She also left Eden alone and went straight to her father's side.

Suddenly.

The hall was dark.

Everyone was a little shocked at that moment.

A spotlight suddenly lit up in the banquet hall.

A man in a suit, standing in the light, became the center of attention.

Ella sees this before it dawns on her that Bowen is proposing to Cendy tonight.

Things that were so far back in time that she had literally forgotten about them.

Not to mention that in her last life she hadn't attended this kind of banquet at all, and then she had seen it all on the news, so naturally it wasn't easy to remember.

"Cendy," Bowen stood there in the light, microphone in hand, bouquet in hand, and suddenly opened his mouth to call her name.

Cendy was in the dark at the moment, her heart racing as she watched him.

Everyone also looked at the man who didn't seem to show himself very well and was never quiet.

But I didn't expect him to do something so high profile tonight.

"We've been in love for 6 years, and we've been hesitant to propose before, afraid that I can't give you proper happiness, afraid that I'm not capable of taking care of you, afraid that you'll feel aggrieved because of me, afraid that you'll regret it, and afraid of many, many more ...... I'm sorry, Cendy, I can't pretend anymore. I can't pretend that I don't love you that much, I can't pretend that I can't see your sadness, I can't pretend that I don't want to marry you right away ......" The moment he said that, Bowen's eyes seemed to be carrying tears in their sockets.

Everyone knew about Bowen's birth, so it was touching to see this sincere confession from Bowen.

Except for Ella.

Ella just chilled out and watched Bowen perform.

Perfect performance.

Same with Lucien.

Turns out the scumbag routine, it's all the same!

It's not too much to take on one, it's not too much to take on two.

"Cendy. please, will you marry me?" Bowen's gentle voice, suddenly blunt.

Straight to a woman in the darkness, deeply.

Cendy has been crying like a ghost.

She really didn't even think that Bowen would propose to her.

Even proposed to her in such a high-profile way.

She had always thought that even if the two got married, it would be a low-key consummation, and to her total surprise, Bowen had given her such a big surprise.

She didn't even hesitate at that moment.

Runs straight over to Bowen and runs right into his arms on his heels.

Bowen jerks Cendy up in a hug, holding her tightly and spinning her around in a circle, clearly a boyfriend.

For a while.

With reluctance, Bowen put Cendy down.

After putting it down, the two men looked at each other.

Bowen says, "Cendy, I don't have anything yet, but I swear I will do my best to give you the greatest happiness possible."

"I believe you." Cendy replied firmly with tears in her eyes.

A smile spreads across Bowen's lips.

He got down on one knee, placed the flowers and the microphone on the floor, and pulled a beautiful box from inside his suit pocket.

The box opened and a sparkling diamond ring appeared in front of the crowd.

The diamond ring isn't huge, but it's chic.

Bowen again solemnly asked Cendy, "Cendy, will you marry me?"

"I do." Cendy barely half hesitated.

Bowen's hard-to-hide smile bloomed on his face as he took Cendy's hand and placed the diamond ring on her ring finger.

Just the right size.

The room erupted in applause.

It's a blessing.

Bowen gets up from the floor.

He gently cupped Cendy's cheek and a kiss, imprinted on her lips.

The two kissed, deeply and passionately.

It's probably a lot of love, a lot of love, that makes it so, well, moving.

Winston just watched, thought, and smiled.

Even if the smile, increasingly bitter.

He had thought that he had done a good job.

When he left the city, he warned himself that he must forget all about Cendy before he came back.

Four years have passed.

He thought he'd forgotten, so he chose to come back after his mother forced him to die.

When I came back, I didn't forget to tell myself at all times to face Cendy with the most peaceful mind and not to have any unrealistic ideas.

But obviously.

He still overestimated himself.

Whether it was the minute seduction by Cendy that night, or the pain in his heart in the face of their affection in this moment, it was clear to him that he had, as it turned out, not yet learned to let go.

So he turned, and left.

Unable to stand in the corner and wish them well, he had no choice but to let her out of his sight.

That's what he is, a bit of a mess.

Winston's departure doesn't seem to go unnoticed at the moment.

After all, everyone's eyes were on the couple in front of them, except for Ella.

Ella is real and can't look away, but can't go up and stop it.

So simply don't look.

Without looking at Cendy or Bowen, he sees Winston next to him, looks at him, and silently leaves.

Ella's lips pursed and pursed.

Not, after all, opening his mouth to say anything.

It was just a trance to see that after Winston left, then two others left as well.

It was only after the lights came back on that she was convinced it was Eden and Jonas.

She was still a little taken aback.

Winston and Eden and Jonas, how exactly did they meet?

After the proposal ceremony.

The party was almost at an end.

Jack was too old and couldn't stay up late, so it didn't take long for him to go.

Ella saw that Cendy was probably going to be engrossed in her happiness with Bowen tonight, so she didn't bother her and followed suit, leaving the banquet hall as well.

At the door, Alfred was waiting for her.

Ella all thought that Eden had called Alfred away.

After all, they had a fight tonight.

Eden is but a little bit more naive and could have done this.

Of course she wouldn't be very impressed.

Regardless, Eden had said she'd give her Alfred to use, and whether or not she was paid or not, Alfred was hers, at least for the time being.

She gets in the back seat and Alfred drives back.

Seattle really does live up to its name when it comes to the sparkle of the night.

Ella just looked out the window, a little dazed.

Was actually wondering if Eden went back, or went to be with Winston?

Always thought it was the second one.

"Ma'am." Alfred spoke suddenly, his tone still incredibly serious.

Ella barely survived the sudden noise.

She didn't know why, but every time she thought about Eden, she felt like a thief.

"What's wrong?" Ella acted normal.

"We're being followed." Alfred said, word for word.

Ella blushed for a moment.

The heart and mouth tensed violently.

It always seemed that anything that could cause Alfred to have emotional upheaval must be nothing more than a small thing.

So ......

Who wants to kill her?

You don't really have to think about it.

Lucien!
