Josiah and Kelly exchanged a smile. With the latter’s hand gesture, the lights were suddenly dimmed.
Just as the guests gasped, the spotlight focused on Zephyr and Cordelia.
The world focused on the two of them, while Zephyr focused only on Cordelia.
A large ball on the ceiling in the center of the hall slowly opened, showering rose petals. Alongside the soft lighting, melody, and colorful bubbles, everything felt beautiful and dreamy.
Cordelia was stunned by the scene that greeted her and was rendered speechless.
Zephyr looked at her softly. He had made an effort to set this up for her and had already talked to the Tanners about it.
It was just brought forward due to Michelle.
Zephyr got down on one knee before Cordelia with a smile and pulled out a diamond ring. The diamond was ten carats and exuded a prismatic shine under the lights with its perfect cut.
“Is this Mr. Zephyr’s proposal?”
“What a rare sight! I need to video this!”
“Right!? I might get the highest traffic to date if it’s shared on my social media! Haha…”
People whispered among themselves, all of them looking surprised and anticipating. After all, the impression they had of Zephyr was so aloof that he was barely worldly like he had no emotion.
Today, however, right now, they witnessed a totally different Zephyr Hamerton.
“Cordelia.” Zephyr looked into Cordelia’s eyes with a bright gaze and uttered the two words formally with his husky voice, “Marry me.”
A few seconds of silence later, the whole place went crazy.
Was this still the Zephyr Hamerton they knew? That merciless and cool business prodigy Zephyr?
The tenderness overflowing in his eyes and his captivating smile, though—and he was proposing to Cordelia on one knee!
“Oh my gosh” was the most common exclamation from the crowd. It was as if there was nothing else aside from this to express their envy and surprise.
