Chapter 463: Engagement Party.


    Lucas introduced Jen to all the people he was familiar with at the party before the couple stealthily disappeared. Lucas had noticed that Jen''s walking had gotten more and more rigid and figured that she was ufortable. So he took her back to their private lounge.


    Jen copsed on the sofa that was in there and groaned as she took off her heels. Lucas slowly followed and sat next to her. Picking up her legs and cing them on hisp.


    "Tired?" Lucas asked her, and Jen shook her head as she flexed her toes. She felt like they had been deprived of blood for hours. Lucas grasped one of her feet in his hands and massaged the soles of her feet. Jen was reluctant at first, but afortable sigh escaped her lips as she felt her feet regain life.


    "Will you marry me?" she asked in her euphoria and Lucas chuckled.


    "Mmmh, I had already agreed," Lucas answered with a dimpled smile and Jen opened her eyes to look at him.


    "We are really doing this?" Jen said absent-mindedly as she pushed his hair away from his face and Lucas looked at her while maintaining his smile. Jen was unaware of how taken with him she looked, but unlike her, Lucas smiled to himself in acknowledgement of his hard work.


    How long he has worked to get to this point, only he knows. Just being in a rtionship with her, in the beginning, was so difficult. Now that they were engaged, he almost felt like he was dreaming.


    Jen looked at Lucas and felt her cheeks from the warm gaze she received from him. She leaned forward and stroked his cheek with her fingers. She couldn''t help it, he was too handsome. She was finding it hard to hold herself back.


    Since Jen had warned him about her makeup earlier, Lucas had decided to hold back untilter. But now he froze as he watched her face get closer to his.


    Jen lightly kissed his lips but was reluctant to pull away from him when he did not respond. Her kiss was light as she was still afraid of messing up her makeup.


    "Jen," Lucas called against her lips and contrary to his expectations, she actually responded.


    "I hope you can take care of your makeup. I don''t think I can hold on any longer," Lucas said and kissed her after his deration.


    The kiss immediately overwhelmed Jen, and she found herself floating in her own consciousness. Jen hugged Lucas and kissed him back. His hands wrapped around her waist andfortably kneaded her waist. Lucas smiled as his tongue slipped into her mouth and intensified her kiss.


    The engagement party was not meant to be a long event, as it was very short notice. So rather than a dinner, it was more of a cocktail party, where people talked with each other and congratted the couple over a ss of wine or champagne. With the array of snacks and desserts provided, the whole atmosphere was very easygoing.


    Jen who was worried about getting her makeup wrecked before was now worrying about how much he was going to ruin her makeup as Lucas continued to kiss her. He wondered how she could still continuously stir his heart.


    "Lucas, we still have to get back to the party," Jen reminded when she had the opportunity to do so. Lucas was now teasing her ears, paused his movements before looking at her. After a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face.


    "It looks like your lipstick is waterproof," hemented, and Jen raised her eyebrows at him. Lucas chuckled when he saw her expression before releasing her.


    "Are your feet better?" he asked as he caught her legs and Jen nodded at him before he released her so she could put her shoes back on.


    "We''ll leave after an hour, don''t worry," Lucas reassured as he helped her with her shoes before going to the bathroom. After washing his hands, he came out shortly afterwards, and the two went back to the party. Looking like they had never even left in the first ce.


    Jen met a lot of new faces and even had the chance to hang out with her friends before Hellen snatching her from Lucas to introduce her to her group of friends. Lucas went to hang out with his brothers and friends as his mother snatched his fianc away.


    "Come for lunch tomorrow, you need to spend some time home before you leave again," Jason encouraged and Lucas agreed. He needed to at least have a meal with his parents before he left.


    "We can go have fun after lunch tomorrow," Jason continued saying as he watched Lucas who has had his eyes on Jen as she was taken around the hall.


    "Should we do that?" Brian asked and looked at Rachel, who was leaning against him for support. She smiled at him and nodded. He was currently on break and had be a live-in boyfriend. Except for the times he was in the mood to pursue his hobby.


    "Mmmh, let''s do that, it''s been a long time since we had fun together," Lucas said in agreement. The guys continued to chat for a few more minutes before people started leaving. Because of how influential the Lewis family was, some press hade. Of course, they could not get into the venue and were stationed outside and given a resting area.


    So when people started leaving, they also came out to take a few photos for the articles that were going to be postedter. What they had not expected was to receive such a scoop. Since the guys and the girls arrived separately, no one knew who was with who, or if they even had dates.


    They just thought that they were friends and family of the people involved. Now that James walked out with Laura, who was a very popr model hanging off his arm, the reporters became stunned. The couple didn''t even notice them since Laura was whispering dirty stuff to James, who had an amused smile on his face.


    Who did not know James? The owner of Big Star, who had chosen to stay in the background because he had almost overshadowed his own celebrities because of his looks?


    The boss who would always freeze people with his pale grey eyes was smiling so warmly at the woman he was walking with. How couldn''t they be surprised? They frantically took pictures as they realised that they might have received more than they had bargained for.


    That would have been enough to draw the attention of the future audience. But when Lucas and Jason walked out together, there was another moment of silence in their hearts. How could they have not seen the simrity between these two men for all these years?


    They had heard that the Lewis family had three sons. The second son had always been a mystery. Who knew he was hiding in in sight? Weren''t they basically twins? This was even more cemented when Noah Hellen and Jen walked out behind the brothers.


    Hellen was still clinging on to Jen and Lucas had been helpless in separating the two, so he just let them be. But when the press saw Noah andpared him to Jason, who looked exactly like his father, they felt like Jason was really impressive.


    The reality was, who would think topare a celebrity with a business giant like Noah in the first ce? Especially when said celebrity did not want to endorse any of his family''s products?


    Where can you find a connection when there was none in the first ce? The reporters smiled widely as they frantically took photos. They couldn''t wait to go back and write articles about their unexpected findings.


    Jason had noticed the press but did not feel pressured. He hasn''t been active recently because of his brother, but maybe this would help keep his poprity afloat while he was busy doing his job. Besides, he had never really tried to hide his rtionship with his family. (He only changed his name so no one would make a connection)


    Everyone had noticed the press but the only ones that were taken off guard the next day were James and Laura since they had been so focused on each other when they were leaving, that they did not care for their surroundings.
