Is He Proposing?
Fireworks illuminated the night sky.
Sivir smiled as he stepped forward and moved closer to Seraphin:
Seraphina turned her head and shot him a nce.
"Is this part of the program?"
She didn''t recall there being a firework session like this.
Sivir''s smile was calm andposed. His presence was steady and dignified.
""Of course not."
With that, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He observed a man making his way down the stairs from the opposite side. Siver spoke in a cheerful voice.
"But I think I know who it is."
"Who?"
Seraphina instinctively followed his gaze and posed the question.
She briefly froze at the sight.
Hansen, impably attired in a well-fitting suit, exuded a seductive charm with his smile.
In his hand, he held arge bouquet of vibrant roses.
The meaning of roses was obvious.
He walked towards Seraphina, his eyes locked on her and filled with deep affection.
Seraphina was momentarily stunned.
She considered running away, but it was no longer an option.
A tingling sensation crept up her scalp.
The surrounding guests began to whisper among themselves.
Tonight had been truly eventful.
First, Orion, and now Colombo-surprises seemed to keeping.
Not far away. Jennifer watched the scene unfold. Her face paled due to the shock.
Everyone''s attention was on Hansen.
Seraphina maintained her elegance. She stood gracefully as she watched him approach.
Is He Proposing?
Hansen came closer, and his expression betrayed a hint of nervousness.
Everyone was waiting in anticipation.
Evidently, this was all a setup for a proposal.
"Is Colombo proposing?"
""What a surprise!"

"But doesn''t Mr. Dros also have feelings for Ms. Cross? Why else would he give her such an expensive gift earlier?"
"Both men are great. Who will Ms. Cross choose?"
As Hansen reached her, Seraphina could no longer stay still.
She couldn''t let the situation escte.
All eves were on her.
With a quick nce around, she spotted Orion, who har just returned.
He fixed his sinister gaze on them, sending shivers down her spine.
Seraphina hesitated for a moment, but there was no time to think.
She stepped forward, smiling slightly at Hansen.
Hansen lifted the bouquet. He was about to speak, but Seraphina cut him off with a soft, fake smile.
Her voice was low enough for them to hear.
It was both a warning and a threat.
"If you have the gerve to go down on one knee, I''ll shatter your kneecap.
Hansen''s body trembled; a chill ran through him.
The joy in his eyes instantly faded, reced with a tinge of darkness and dejection,
Indeed, Seraphina had guessed correctly.
Hansen was here to stir things up.
"Hansen....
A soft, trembling voice suddenly cut through the tension.
Jennifer was there.
"Isn''t this joke going a bit too far?"
Is He Proposing?
She had watched as his world revolved entirely around Seraphina.
At this moment, she could no longer hold back.
Jennifer, who was usuallyposed, had finally lost her temper.
It was a surprising scene for those present.
Finished
Hansen paused a little. He didn''t even notice Jennifer. Her words were brushing past him like the wind.
He smiled and pressed his lips together. Hansen reluctantly spoke under everyone''s watchful eyes.
"Happy birthday, Seraphina. I hope you enjoy your day.
Justin couldn''t help but burst intoughter upon hearing this.
"Hahaha! Happy day? Hansen, that''s quite the birthday wish!"
He quickly quieted down when Sivir shot him a cold re.
Everyone waited in silence for Seraphina''s response. Seraphina epted the bouquet with a satisfied smile.
"Thank you; I like this gift."
Hansen lowered his head slightly to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Soon, Justin steered the conversation in a different direction.
Taking the opportunity, Seraphina grabbed Hansen''s sleeve and led him away.
No one noticed the mix of disappointment and relief in Jennifer''s eyes as she watched them go.
Once they were in a secluded room, Seraphina finally let go of him.
"Hansen, are you trying to cause trouble?"
Hansen''s usual nonchnt demeanor had a hint of sincerity, though Seraphina''s reaction had hurt him a
little.
However, it wasn''t enough to break him.
After all, this was just the beginning.
"I just wanted to surprise you!"
Who knew she would detect even the slightest hint of trouble and squash it before it could grow?
Today has been such a perfect opportunity.
Unfortunately...
"Surprise? You almost gave us all a heart attack!"
is He Proposing?
Seraphina red at him, arms crossed.
Given their familiarity, they didn''t need to hold back.
Therefore, she spoke so bluntly.
She wasn''t trying to make things awkward.
Finished
It was impossible for the two to be a pair. Instead of wasting his time on her, Hansen shoulde to this realization sooner rather thanter.
Hansen bore azy, charming smile, and his tone was mischievous.
"You stopped me in time, but I won''t be so obedient next time."
Seraphina''s frustration red up.
"Hansen, I''m nothing like your ex-girlfriends. Our styles are different. Why can''t you let me go?"
His ex-girlfriends had been obedient and sweet, with a gentle, soft appearance.
Theplete opposite of Seraphina''s style.
Was he looking for a change of pace?
Hansen''s expression froze momentarily-before he chuckled.
"Those women? How would theypare to you?
ver had feelings for them."
Seraphina wasn''t interested in his long speeches, especially not now.
To stop him, she raised her hand.
"I don''t want to know, Hansen. We''ve known each other for years, and this is where our rtionship ends."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
""You''re jealous!"
Hansen''s voice was firm.
His eyes sparkled with confidence.
Seraphina was speechless.
How could she gently refuse him without shattering his confidence?
She brushed her hair and said, "Forget it; I''m heading back."
Just as she turned to leave, she felt a tug on her dress.
"Your dress has been unzipped."
Hansen quickly noticed that Seraphina''s gown''s zipper wasn''t fully up.
TE THU, UC2A
Is He Proposing?
She revealed arge expanse of fair skin and her bare shoulders. It was a breathtaking sight.
Earlier, her long hair had covered it, so no one noticed.
When she brushed it back, Hansen caught the details.
Seraphina paused, surprised, as she looked back.
Hansen had already started adjusting her dress.
The next moment, the door to the room suddenly swung open.
Finished
I apologize, Seraphina; I didn''t mean to intrude. I didn''t expect to interrupt you and Hansen. Hmm, you two should carry on."
Hearing this overly sweet and exaggerated voice, Seraphina instantly knew who it was.
It was Grace.
She shot a cold re at her.
"Are you blind? Have you seen us being intimate?"
Hansen also released his grip at the right moment and snorted coldly.
"Who''s this clueless person?"
Grace hesitated, biting her lip, before pushing the door wide open.
She wasn''t the only one who stood outside.
Orion was there too.
The man''s tall figure blocked the outside light. He had a chilling aura, and his eyes were dark as he watched them.
