Chapter 1267: Engagement Banquet
"Your past will only make me cherish you more, treasure you, and I won’t let your wounds deepen again. I’ll be with you, letting time heal everything. Nicole, marry me?"
Nicole gazed blankly at Steven Cooper, her eyes calm, without words.
Steven Cooper took Nicole’s hand and stood up, leading her forward, his voice gentle like a spring breeze: "Let me take you home, consider what I just said carefully."
Nicole followed Steven Cooper’s pace, holding her milk tea without replying.

Nicole stayed quietly at home for three days, not leaving her room, sitting there lost in thought.
On the fourth day, Ariel Morris knocked on Nicole’s door, bringing her news: Jose Floyd and Andrea Greenwood are getting engaged, the engagement party is tonight.
When Ariel Morris told Nicole the news, she deliberately observed Nicole, adding in a low voice: "Aunt Olivia Summer called, saying... it’s because Andrea was suddenly found to be pregnant, so the engagement party is quite rushed. All the guests are from the bride’s side, they say. I sent a gift over, but I won’t go."
In fact, she didn’t attend Aunt Olivia Summer’s son’s engagement party considering Nicole’s situation. Because Jose Floyd’s ex was Nicole, Arlo’s sister, making it an awkward connection. With Jose Floyd getting engaged, as Nicole’s sister-in-law, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to show up and give blessings.
Nicole replied with a faint "hmm," her expression unruffled.
Ariel Morris pursed her lips, "Aunt Olivia Summer also specifically asked me, when is the Seys Family going to have a happy occasion, she said she can’t wait to drink your celebration wine... Nicole, are you close with Aunt Olivia Summer?"
Why would Aunt Olivia Summer be concerned about Nicole’s happiness?
Nicole’s fingers gripped the door frame, her fingernails digging in, smiling nonchalantly: "Thank her for me for her ’concern’! Tell her, the Seys and Cooper families’ engagement party is this weekend!"
Ha, Jose Floyd’s getting engaged, and now there’s a baby, double happiness!
Olivia really ’cares’ about her! Deliberately had Ariel ask when she’s getting engaged, just worried she’d cling to Jose Floyd.
Thinking too much, Jose Floyd... she never had feelings, where’s the entanglement!
Olivia, you’re pushing too hard... My child isn’t considered human, is it? You can kill him at will. Do you consider the baby in Andrea’s womb as your own grandson?
This life, she’ll never want to see the Seal Family again, nor will she bother with them!

The engagement between the Seys and Cooper families shocked both families since Nicole herself casually mentioned having the engagement party this weekend.
Everyone, after the initial shock, immediately became excited and helped plan the engagement party, ensuring it was well-organized and perfectly flawless in the shortest time possible.
The hotel was temporarily booked by Arlo Seys through connections, choosing the most luxurious hotel in all of City C. Since Nicole didn’t want a lively affair, only close family and friends from both sides were invited, seating ten tables, symbolizing perfection.
The engagement party was entirely styled in sky blue, Nicole’s favorite, arranged by Ariel Morris and Daisy Grant. As for the dress, it was left to the wedding gown designer, Anaya Campbell, who Nico Haynes insisted on dragging over.
The wedding ring was temporarily purchased by Steven Cooper’s friend from France, delivered to Steven Cooper’s hands by plane on the day to catch up with time.
Everything happened in a rush, yet amidst the chaos, everyone smiled joyously with faces full of blessings. Everyone saw this marriage as promising, hoping the couple could grow old together.
Time flew by amidst the busy preparations.
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, the evening of the engagement party.

Author: Young Master Floyd is not engaged, it’s a plan. He is in Italy, completely unaware of everything happening domestically, just a ploy by Olivia and Andrea. Otherwise, would Young Master Floyd get married without notifying Jorge Saxton? Invitations were only sent to the bride’s family, without notifying his friends. Informing Ariel Morris was merely to have her tell Nicole, serving as a foreshadowing~
