Night had just fallen and the lights of BlueSky Hotel came on.-
The engagement ceremony jointly held by the two major families of Sunburst City – the Whitman family and the Miller family was of course grand, attracting the eyes of the entire city.
At eight o’clock in the evening, the golden banquet hall was filled with laughter and applause. Amidst the applause and stares, the guests saw Peterson and Edith embrace and kiss.
Lionel Martin, the third son of the Martin family who was officiating the ceremony, made jokes while blessing them, then continued the ceremony according to the process, “Next, let’s have our future bridesmaid, Miss Amelia, come up and share the sweet love journey of our two newlyweds that she witnessed!”
A spotlight shone on Amelia’s position, but her seat was empty.
Edith’s face immediately changed.
Lionel signaled to the lighting engineer and started to save the situation, “Amelia, were you stunned by the sweetness of the new couple? Where are you?”
The lighting engineer moved the spotlight around the venue, as if looking for someone.
The originally closed doors of the restaurant suddenly slowly opened, and the lighting engineer immediately directed the light there, causing many people to turn their heads towards the door.
A woman in a red long dress suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight.
Perhaps the sudden strong light was dazzling, she covered her face with her hand, and only slowly put her hand down after adapting for a while.
Under the white light, everyone saw a stunning face.
The hall suddenly fell silent for a moment.
In this moment of silence, Seraphina slowly walked in.
She was dressed in a vintage red dress, with bright eyes and a smile, had red lipstick on, curly hair, and matched with vintage makeup, like the heroine who walked out of a foreign movie poster from the old times, beautiful and charming.
For most people present, this was a strange face, beautiful and exciting.
But for Edith, this moment was a nightmare.
At her engagement party, all eyes were on Seraphina, even Peterson was staring at Seraphina, dumbfounded.
“Lionel!” Edith suddenly called Lionel in a low voice, interrupting Peterson’s trance.
Lionel quickly cleared his throat and said, “It seems that Miss Amelia was really stunned by the sweetness of the new couple. Are there any other friends who want to come up and share their sweet experiences with them?”
As soon as Lionel spoke, the friends around him cooperated with him, and the atmosphere of the scene quickly became lively.
In this warm atmosphere, Seraphina appeared in front of the stage, entering the camera.
On the big screen, Seraphina’s slender figure was magnified many times.
Everyone watched her step by step onto the stage, her vintage red dress made her waist extremely slender, and she was graceful. When she turned around, her eyes were bright and moving, almost the most dazzling presence in the whole scene.

Looking at Peterson and Edith, Seraphina smiled and said, “Can I come on stage?”
Lione! was taken aback for a moment, hesitating whether to hand her the microphone.
Edith and Seraphina looked at each other. Edith sneered, turned around, and took the microphone from Lionel’s
hand.
“The love between Peterson and I doesn’t need others to explain. We can express it ourselves.”
With that, she hugged Peterson’s waist, lifted her head, and kissed his mouth.
The sudden applause in the audience was like thunder.
Peterson looked a bit stiff, his gaze passed over Edith, looking at Seraphina, who just stood there, smiling, clapping with the atmosphere of the scene.
Peterson’s heart suddenly thumped.
Then, Edith suddenly bit his lips, and only then slowly moved her lips away.
“Are you sober now?” Edith asked in a low voice.
Peterson slowly retracted his gaze, then looked at Edith.
Edith had already turned her head and looked at Seraphina.
“Thank you Ms. Seraphina for coming all the way to attend the engagement ceremony of Peterson and I. We are very happy to have you.” Edith continued, “Seraphina, will you bless us?”
“Of course.” Seraphina answered with a smile, “I feel very honored to be able to witness your happy moment. I wish you happiness forever and always remember this sweet engagement ceremony.”
With these words, the atmosphere on the scene became subtly awkward, and everyone tacitly looked at the.
situation on stage.
Edith of course could hear the implied meaning in Seraphina’s words, she laughed and said, “I will of course always remember, at this moment, the person standing by his side is me, and for the rest of his life, the person standing by his side will be me, and only me. Peterson, right?”
As she finished her words, there was another cheer from the audience, and Peterson, in response to Edith’s question, awkwardly lowered his head and kissed her.
“Peterson, shall we give the bouquet to Seraphina?” Edith suddenly said.
Peterson was still in a daze, but Edith had already looked at Seraphina and handed out the bouquet in her hand, “Although today is not the official wedding, I want to pass our happiness and sweetness to you. This bouquet represents the blessings from Peterson and I, Seraphina, I hope you can find your happiness soon.”
The banquet hall was very quiet, everyone was watching Edith and Seraphina on stage.
Although Seraphina was outstanding, she was the one feeling awkward at this moment.
However, Seraphina still smiled and said thank you, then naturally took the bouquet and started to admire it.
Lionel stepped forward in time, “Ms. Seraphina, you have received the blessings of two newlyweds, do you have anything to say?”
“Since I got the bouquet, I can’t let down your intentions. You don’t mind me expressing my feelings at this occasion, right?” Seraphina asked Edith.
Edith gave her a cold look, seemingly waiting to see her next move.
Seraphina turned her head towards the audience, raising the bouquet in her hand. Her voice sweet and charming. “To all the gentlemen here, I’m currently single and ready to mingle. Feel free to chase me, I’m pretty laid–back.”
The scene immediately burst into thunderous applause and cheers, even more enthusiastic than any before.
