While Ryan Barker and Sabrina Barker were deeply regretful, Ethan was rushing to the Aegean Bistro with all his might.
He was already five minutes late, and if he didn't show up soon, Sophia would probably explode.
Ethan wanted to blame the traffic, but when he picked up his phone, he realized his iPhone 4 had automatically shut down, and no matter what he did, he couldn't turn it back on.
He figured he would need to buy a new phone, so he pressed the accelerator harder.
Ten minutes later, Ethan rushed into the parking lot of the bistro.
He casually parked his car in an empty spot, then pushed open the door and ran toward the entrance.
However, before he even entered the lobby, he heard cheers from inside.
Ethan looked up and saw that the Aegean Bistro had turned into an ocean of flowers and balloons.
Thirty-six men and women, dressed in luxurious clothes, stood in the shape of a heart, each holding a bouquet of roses. The sunlight shone, making the roses dazzlingly bright.
Ethan also spotted Luna Bright's tall figure.
In the center of the group was a young man, tall and handsome, with a broad forehead exuding a sense of authority.
Dressed in a British-style suit, he looked very fashionable.
Vincent Bright, a PhD returned from overseas, a rich second-generation heir, and the future successor of East Sun Group.
He had been pursuing Sophia for years, and when he heard that she was ill and needed a remedy, he immediately rushed abroad.
Now that Sophia was fine, his evil intentions resurfaced.
In front of him was Sophia, looking uncomfortable.
It was clearly a scene of a confession.
"Smack—"
Vincent Bright made a gesture, and the thirty-six companions quickly handed over small boxes.
Opening them, thirty-six diamonds were revealed.
The brilliance of these diamonds was mesmerizing.
The women present screamed in unison, marveling at how romantic and extravagant this was.
"Thirty-six diamonds, even if they are small, are worth a lot. So generous!"
"This rich young man is so romantic, so rich!"
"This is the son of East Sun Group's chairman, Vincent Bright. Can he not be rich?"
Some recognized Vincent Bright, causing an immediate uproar.
Although East Sun Group was not the top group in ZH City, it was still worth billions, ranking among the local elites.
To be chosen by him was undoubtedly a great honor for any woman.
The cheers and admiration around made Vincent Bright's smile even more confident. He didn't believe there was any woman who could resist this kind of romance.
Even Sophia, known as the "Ice Goddess," could never say no.
"Sophia, I'm back. I'm back in ZH City."
