Chapter 2873
After receiving the bundle of roses, Tia wrapped her hand around Stanley's and helped him up.
With his eyes still locked with Tia's, Stanley produced a velvet box from his pocket. After opening it, he took a
diamond ring out and gently placed it on Tia's left ring finger.
"Oh my gosh, congratulations!"
"Finally, you've taken a load off everyone's mind."
Everyone congratulated the couple with joy, though they did not forget to complain about how long they had waited
for this day to arrive.
Tia's cheeks reddened from the fanfare, while Stanley caressed her hair, smoothening them for her.
"I'm truly thankful we didn't slip past each other," he said.
Stanley would often still cringe thinking about how foolish he was to put Tia at the sidelines. Fortunately, everything
had played out the way they wanted now, and from this point onward, they were going to be together forever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith the proposal over with, the restaurant's ambient lights returned to normal, and Stanley led Tia back to the
dining table.
My gosh! Well, you two didn't have it easy," Lulu said, almost driven to the point of tears..
Tia's cheeks were still maroon from all the shyness and nervousness she had been feeling from the past minute.
Knowing that she was in no condition to respond to anyone, Stanley held her in his arms and said to Lulu. "It was
indeed a tough road."
"Hehe. Cherish her forever, okay?" Lulu teased.
Solemn and unsmiling, Stanley nodded. "I will."
"Stanley," Tia called out, pulling his shirt in embarrassment.
As it was time for them to proceed, Nicole looked at them with a wide grin on her face. "Alright, settle down, guys.
Let's all take a seat and prepare to dine in."
With that, the waiters gradually served everyone their dishes, allowing them to chat while enjoying the food. It was
an eventful night to say the least, and once everyone had gotten their bellies filled, they returned home.
The couples then filed out of the restaurant hand-in-hand, leaving Preston, who looked like a forlorn beggar on a
rainy day, to approach Nicole. "It seems that I am the only one left to send you home. Do I have the honor,
milady?"
Preston felt more comfortable sending Nicole back, for the alternative was following all the lovey-dovey couples
home.
Amused, Nicole looked at him with a smirk and agreed," Sure thing."
"Let's get going first. I do not want to see them. It's just heartbreaking, to be honest" Preston let out, eager to
leave.
Without skipping a beat, Nicole teased, "Have you ever stopped to consider that you might be the one giving us
heartache?"
Indeed, everyone was walking in pairs, save for Preston, who was left to sulk on his own.
Stunned and wide-eyed, Preston began to whine, "Aw, come on. Don't tell me you're going to bang my balls forthat
too?"

'Ms. Riddle?" Patricia called out, wanting to follow Nicole home.
But before she could, Ellar grabbed her arm and said, "I think it's better if you stay back. Nicole must have
something to discuss with Preston."
Patricia raised her eyebrows, not convinced by Ellar's explanation. "And how do you know that?"
"If they have nothing to talk about, my brother-in-law would have come," Ellar confidently stated, shrugging his
shoulders.
If Nicole had not reminded Jared to not pick her up, Jared would surely have shown up to bring her home.
Patricia paused, and after deciding that what Ellar said made sense, she stopped in her tracks.
Then, she turned around to meet Ellar's gaze and announced, "If there's nothing else, I'm heading home too."
"I'll send you home," Ellar said, hurriedly following suit.
No thanks," Patricia declined.
Ellar, remaining as persistent as always, followed her.
Lulu could not help but shake her head as she observed their antics, "Can Ellar handle it?"
"Erm, he should be fine, I guess?" June answered with uncertainty as she frowned.
Although the two seemed quite compatible, and there appeared to be chances of a budding romance, there was
still an air of uncertainty surrounding them.
