Chapter 200 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 glance.
“Is this part of the program?”
She didn’t recall there being a firework session like this.
Sivir’s smile was calm and composed. 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, impeccably attired in a well–fitting suit, exuded a seductive charm with his smile.
In his hand, he held a large 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 keep coming.
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.

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 escalate.
All eves were on her.
With a quick glance 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, replaced 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?”

She had watched as his world revolved entirely around Seraphina.
At this moment, she could no longer hold back.
Jennifer, who was usually composed, 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 into laughter upon hearing this.
“Hahaha! Happy day? Hansen, that’s quite the birthday wish!”
He quickly quieted down when Sivir shot him a cold glare.
Everyone waited in silence for Seraphina’s response.
Seraphina accepted 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 nonchalant 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!”

Seraphina glared 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 become a pair. Instead of wasting his time on her, Hansen should come to this realization sooner rather than later.
Hansen bore a lazy, charming smile, and his tone was mischievous.
“You stopped me in time, but I won’t be so obedient next time.”
Seraphina’s frustration flared 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.
The complete 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 they compare to you?
I never had feelings for them.”
