Chapter 1339 Go to Each Husband
“Ms. Emmeline!” Sam leaped into Emmeline’s arms, embracing her tightly. “I missed you so much. I’ve never been away from you for such a long time!”
Emmeline tapped Sam’s nose playfully. “Do you really? If you really miss me so badly, would you take long to return?”
“Enough teasing me.” Sam blinked her big eyes. “I bought you lots of gifts, and of course, gifts for Doris and Janic too.”
Luca brought over a pile of bags totaling more than a dozen packages.
“Ms. Emmeline, they’re all here. I can’t tell whose is whose. Let Sam distribute them to you.”
“Our gifts are secondary.” Emmeline turned to Luca. “Did you buy an engagement ring for Sam?”
“I did.” Luca replied somewhat bashfully. “Of course I did.”
“Let me see it.” Emmeline said. “If it doesn’t pass inspection, Abel will send you back to buy another one!”
“Of course, anything Mr. Abel says!” Luca took out an exquisite velvet box from his pocket.
-Emmeline opened it and found a three-carat diamond ring from an international luxury brand.
“Very nice!” Emmeline nodded with a smile. “Our Sam will do fine!”
“The key is when Luca will propose to Sam?” Doris chimed in from the side.
“Why not do it now?” Emmeline suggested.
To everyone’s surprise, Luca immediately held up the diamond ring and got down on one knee. “Sam, will you marry me?”
The entire cafe fell into a hush, followed by cheers from the customers, “Marry him! Marry him!”
More customers joined in, chanting. “Marry him, marry him!”
Emmeline and Doris also chimed in with laughter, “Sam, what are you waiting for?”
“Sam,” Luca gazed at her with deep, earnest eyes, “Marry me. I will give you the happiness you deserve!”
Blushing, Sam reluctantly accepted the diamond ring and pulled Luca up. “Thank you, Luca!”
Luca, thrilled, lifted Sam off her feet and spun her around three times right there.
The cafe erupted in applause.
-Emmeline suggested, “Let’s all just have dinner at Nightfall Cafe. Ben and Janie should come too.”
“I agree,” Waylon said. “We’ve all been so busy lately that we haven’t had a meal together.”
“Then let’s get together.” Emmeline smiled. “Celebrate Doris’ pregnancy and Luca’s successful proposal!”
“That sounds great, Waylon said. “Emma, call Abel, and I’ll inform Ben.”

After making their calls, Sam said, “Luca and I will go buy ingredients. What does everyone like to eat?”
“Let’s have Struyria Banquet deliver the ingredients, Waylon suggested. “We can do the cooking ourselves.” “That works,” Emmeline said. “It’ll save us the trouble of picking and washing the vegetables.”
Waylon called Struyria Banquet, and soon after, Benjamin arrived with Janie. Abel joined them later.
After a while, Struyria Banquet delivered an abundance of ingredients, and the four men put on aprons and headed to the kitchen. The four women went to the garden terrace to have tea and chat.
A little over an hour later, the four men came back up, wearing their aprons
Abel took the lead, saying, “Ladies, it’s time to eat!”
Waylon added, “We have eighteen dishes and six soups. If you want more, just let us know.”
Benjamin chimed in, “We’ve got savory, sweet, and sweet-sour dishes-whatever you like.”
Luca looked somewhat embarrassed and scratched his head, saying. “I can cook, but I haven’t had chances to do it. Ladies, please don’t judge me!”
