“I was young and stupid then.


    I made the wrong choices.


    But it all changed once I got together with you.


    I only want to be with you now.


    ”


    Lydia just nodded and looked at the host.


    “I think we can move on to the ring now.


    ”


    The host was still struggling to pull himself together when she returned the microphone to him.


    It wasn’t easy, but he made a valiant effort to bring the cheer back in the hall.


    “Well, well! Who would have thought that our dear couple are such pranksters? Look at them, ying a joke on us on such an important day.


    In any case, it is mow time for the most symbolic part of our gathering! Ring bearer, pleasee forward with the ring!”


    A young man happily jogged across the room with a jewelry box in hand.


    Alick reached for it, but the moment he opened the box, his expression turned ugly.


    He had bought a in diamond ring for this asion.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    How did it turn into a ring that boasted arge diamond the size of a dove’s egg? What was he even looking at?


    But before he could make sense of things, the host spoke again.


    “I see that Mr.


    Shaw is truly fond of Miss Phillips.


    It’s only your engagement, yet you’re giving her a statement ring.


    One can only wonder how you will top this off when you finally get married.


    ”


    Prompted by the other man’s words, Alick had no choice but to take the ring out of the box.


    As soon as Jaylin caught sight of it, all the color drained from his face.


    Lydia offered her hand to Alick, her palm facing down, and smirked at him.


    “What are you waiting for? Put it on me.


    ”

    Dazed and confused, Alick began to slide the ring into the tip of her finger.


    It was then that a video started to y on the big screen behind him.


    Naturally, everyone’s attention was immediately diverted to it.


    It was the same video that Hannah had recorded back in Alick’s bar.


    “I’m pregnant.


    ”


    Silence fell in the hall as Eliana’s voice rang out from the video clip.


    It seemed like everyone held their breaths, the tension was so palpable!


    There weren’t many who could recognize Eliana’s voice, especially when her face didn’t appear in the video, but then they heard Alick’s voice respond to her.


    “And why tell me? You should be informing Den.


    ”


    “But I haven’t been intimate with himtely….


    It’s only been you.


    The doctors confirmed it.


    I conceived around the time we were together, over two months ago.
