Serena woke up to gentle lips brushing against her. “Stop. I want to sleep a bit more.”

Sebastian’s fingers gently pinched the soft curve of her waist. “No more sleeping. Your best friend is looking for you. Julian is on his way to propose.”

Her foggy mind took a moment to catch up.

Then her eyes snapped open. “What did you just say?”

Inside Lucinda’s room, tears shimmered in her eyes. “I’m doomed, Rena. What is wrong with that Juju? It was just an accident between us. It… It was my first time. I’m not even holding him responsible, so why won’t he let this go?”

Serena was speechless for a moment, then reassured her, “It’s alright. If you don’t want to marry him, no one will force you. At least here, your Uncle Sebastian is definitely on your side.”

Lucinda’s eyes reddened. “Really?”

“Really,” Serena reassured gently.

Lucinda still felt shaken and entirely unready for what was ahead. Fortunately, Serena remained by her side.

At precisely 10 a.m., Julian reached the Levine Residence wearing a sharp, tailored suit.

He greeted, “Old Mr. Levine, I’ve come to see you.”

His driver followed behind, with trunk after trunk of gifts. The Levine family’s butler and the driver collaborated to bring everything inside.

Bryce studied him suspiciously. “Julian, you’re here. What is all this?”

Julian slightly bowed his head. “Old Mr. Levine, I am here to propose today formally.”

Bryce suddenly sat up straight, raising his voice, “Propose? To whom?”

Wait… The only unmarried junior in the family is Lucinda.

His gaze sharpened. “You-”

Julian nodded. “That’s right. I’m here to propose to Lucinda.”

As Lucinda opened her bedroom door, the man downstairs announced loudly enough to be heard across the house, “Lucinda and I were together last night, so I came to propose immediately.”

He paused briefly, then continued with composure and confidence, “Old Mr. Levine, our families have considered this match before. I believe it’s a good arrangement. What do you think of me?”

Sebastian’s lips twitched. Since when does Julian have zero shame? Do I even know this man anymore?

Lucinda stormed down the stairs upon hearing that. “Julian, have you lost your mind? When were we ever together? How dare you make things up!”

She turned to Bryce and explained, “Grandpa, ignore him. He’s out of his mind. There’s definitely something wrong with his brain. I’ll take him to a psychiatric hospital immediately for an assessment!”

Julian pressed his lips together, appearing deeply offended. “Lucinda, after what you did to me last night… So you really don’t intend to take responsibility.”

“Julian Hill! You!” Lucinda snapped, her eyes burning with rage.

Julian studied Sebastian intently. The key to winning a wife: abandon all shame. Consequently, he dedicated himself completely. “Last night was my first. Lucinda, you must take responsibility for me.”

Serena kept silent off to the side. What a disaster of a day.

Bryce’s expression darkened.

Sophia hurried back to the old residence after receiving the call.

“Bryce, what happened?” she asked.

“Sophia, you are Lucinda’s mother. The boy from the Hill family visited today to propose. Come and take a look.”

Objectively, Julian was flawless in background, education, looks, and capability. His reputation was spotless. In their circle, an heir this clean–cut was hard to come by.
