Chapter 2464
"Hey, put me down!" June said, her cheeks turning bright red from all the eyes on her.
Once she was on her feet, Samuel produced a small velvet box from his pocket, within which was a dazzling
diamond ring.
Without hesitation, he put it on June's left ring finger. "Do you like it?"
"I love it," June said, her eyes fixed on the ring.
It was the exact style she adored. As she was taking it all in, Samuel went on to produce another small box.
"What's this?" she asked with a hint of surprise in her voice. "Help me put this on," Samuel said, passing the box to
June. She opened it to find a men's ring; a perfect match to hers. With a warm smile, she slid the ring onto his

The lights flickered then back on, drawing everyone closer. "Make a wish and blow out the candles," Samuel gently
said. June took a moment, looked at the faces of everyone present, and asked, "How about we all join in?"
"Alright, let's make a group wish and blow out the candles," Lulu suggested. "Here's to happiness everlasting."
Nicole, sharing a glance with Jared, added, "And to lovebirds never parting from one another."
With that, they both smiled at one another.
After each person had shared their wish, they all came together to blow out the candles, whereupon cheers
erupted from the group. But when they returned to their seats, they found that the main dishes had been swapped
out for fruits and dessert.
Lulu, with a grin, remarked, "Who knew you had this sneaky side to yourself, Samuel? So you've been cooking up
this surprise the whole time?"
"Of course I couldn't spill the beans early. It wouldn't be a surprise anymore if I did that, would it?" Samuel replied
with a cheeky grin.
Then, after turning over to look at June, Lulu teased, "You got June so choked up. Her eyes are all red. Everything is
as it should be now, huh?"
In response, June shot Lulu a playful look and retorted," You're just poking fun at me now. Weren't you all misty-
eyed when Spencer proposed to you?"
Lulu chuckled, and a touch of red appeared on her cheeks at once.
After chatting for a while longer, they all stood up and left the establishment, as it was getting late.
"I'll drive June home."

"Right, I'll drop Lulu off."
As Spencer and Samuel left the place with Lulu and June, Nicole turned to Stanley. "So, what's your plan?"
"I'll just head home," Stanley replied with a shrug.
He was genuinely happy for his brother, but he could not help but feel a little left out in the process.
Did Samuel invite me here on purpose, knowing I'm always the single one?' he wondered.
"We're heading home too. Want to join us?" Nicole offered.
Stanley quickly shook his head after shooting the pair of Jared and Nicole a glance. "Nah, I'm good. Thanks."
Deep down, he remarked, 'Singles and couples don't mix well, do they?’
Watching Stanley walk away, Nicole sighed and shook her head.
Seeing this, Jared raised an eyebrow. "Something on your mind?"
"Just thinking... With all of us paired up, Stanley's gonna get all the 'when are you settling down?' questions now,"
Nicole smirked. "Kinda funny when you think about it."
