Chapter 221: Chapter 218: Reactions

Vicars Hotel.

"Norman Bennett, is it Zane’s birthday today?" Elliana Lyle was somewhat surprised. Although she was familiar

with Zane Bennett, she couldn't remember his birthday.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she said, "You didn’t tellearlier, | haven't even prepared a gift or anything."

However, the man did not respond to her words. Instead, he stood tall, looking down at her smooth neck.

Then his gaze moved up, locking onto her eyes.

"She actually gave this to you."

"Huh?" She looked down, then grabbed the necklace, "You mean this?"

She explained, "I gave Hannah Collins a necklace today, and she exchanged it for this one."

Then she asked, "Does this necklace have simportant significance?"

The man had used the word "actually," suggesting this necklace was quite significant.

The man said, "I've seen her wearing it since childhood."

"Really?" A necklace worn since childhood must have significant meaning, so she quickly took it off, planning to

put it with the two bracelets.

But just as she remembered something, she wanted to mention giving the necklace to Hannah so she wouldn't

forget.

Having just woken up not long ago, her mind was still a bit foggy.

After putting away the necklace, she sprinted past the man towards the living room, instructing, "Norman

Bennett, don’t move."

She rummaged through a pile of items, found two exquisite little boxes, and rushed back to the bedroom

fervently.

Norman was very "obedient," not moving at all, still standing in the sspot.

She hid the items behind her back, bouncing in front of the man.

"Norman Bennett, hold out your hand." She suddenly realized she got the order wrong and quickly corrected,

"No, close your eyes."

The man looked down at her, cooperatively closing his eyes, then extended his left hand.

Only then did she open the two boxes, revealing a pair of rings with a circle of diamonds in the middle, like a thin

line, understated yet shining.

She had meticulously chosen this ring, and it was one of a kind. After all, the slogan of that wedding ring brand

was that each ring was made in only one pair.

So the price was higher, instantly draining her savings.

Removing the ring, she focused on the man’s distinctively jointed hand. She couldn't have bought the wrong

size, as these hands had held her countless times.

She carefully slipped it onto the man’s ring finger, and it fit perfectly.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Originally, she thought Norman Bennett would be surprised or something, at least a little shocked, but the man

just calmly glanced at the ring on his hand.

Calm to the extreme.

"Norman Bennett..." She hadn't finished speaking when the man leaned in, took the other ring from her hand,

and finally knelt down on one knee to put it on her finger.

Before she had tto react, her lips were covered with warmth.

In the car.

Elliana Lyle had already changed into her dress and was on the road. If it weren't for the party they had to

attend, she feared she might collapse today.

"Norman Bennett, it's obviously Zane’s birthday, why did you say it was socializing?" She held the man’s ringed

hand, taking pictures under the car's interior lighting.

She wanted to post the picture on Weibo.

The man let her move his hand as she wished, saying, "It’s just using it as an excuse for socializing, so it's

naturally considered that."

"Norman Bennett, when | put the ring on you, you didn’t seem to react at all." After taking the picture, she began

to question the man.

The man easily pulled her into his arms, and whispered softly into her ear, "What kind of reaction would you like?

Hmm?"

The warm breath on her ear made it itch a bit. She shrank her neck, pressing her face against his neck.

"Hmm..." She thought for a moment, then pleaded, "At least sreaction, not just calm and doing nothing."

"Alright." The man agreed in one go.

She gazed up at him, looking at him with expectation. She hadn’t seen him smile at her in a long time. It was

always a gentle smile, very shallow and faint.

Though it was beautiful, she hadn't felt that he was particularly happy.

The man looked down at her lips, saying clearly, "Right now, it won't do."

——Riverside Haven.

"Cousin~" Summer Hue immediately broke free from Zane Bennett's hand when she saw her, running straight

towards her.

Like a runaway horse, lifting the hem of her pink skirt, making her look like a fleeing princess.

"Summer, you're here too." Before she could say anything else, she saw Joy Lyle walking towards her not far

away.

In a light blue tailcoat short dress, elegant and dignified, perfectly showcasing the gentle flow of water-like

grace.

Seeing the crowd that had gathered today, people from various industries had arrived. As Norman Bennett had

said, it was indeed a social event.

"Joy.

"Elliana."

After their greeting, she introduced Joy Lyle to Summer Hue: "Summer, this is my sister, Joy Lyle."

Seeing this, Summer Hue followed her lead, directly saying, "Hello, Joy."

"Summer, chere!"

A cold voice came.

Looking towards the source of the sound, she realized it was Zane Bennett.

Today, Zane Bennett was uncharacteristically authoritative, dressed in a suit, making Elliana Lyle almost not

recognize him, especially with Zane Bennett's formal manner at the moment, it was just like the real thing.

"What are you two..."

Summer Hue shot a frosty glance at Zane Bennett, but before she could finish, Zane Bennett covered her mouth

with his hand.

"Brother." Zane Bennett talked with Norman Bennett while pulling Summer Hue backward.

At the stime, Summer Hue realized something and stopped struggling.

Norman Bennett glanced at the two, responded indifferently with an "Mm," and then led Elliana Lyle into the

hotel.

"Oh dear, my little ancestor, | was wrong, you must perform well today, don’t make any mistakes, okay?" Zane

Bennett coaxed in Summer Hue’s ear.

Of course, Summer Hue wasn’t a clueless person, so she said, "Don’t worry, I've got it under control."

Because Elliana Lyle wore a long gown that reached the floor, she had to leave one hand free to lift the dress as

she walked. Underneath the apricot skirt were heels adorned with diamonds; even a single one missing would

equate to a house in a small town.

So she was particularly careful as she walked.

However, Norman Bennett was very considerate, walking at a slow pace.

After crossing the red carpet, they arrived at the grand entrance of the party hall, opulent and resplendent in its

splendor, it was breathtaking.

Upon entering the hall, all eyes were on the two of them.

Once everyone recognized Norman Bennett, their eyes swiftly turned towards Elliana Lyle at his side.

In a gown of warm apricot chiffon, a semi-transparent silk shawl added a touch of maturity, with light gold pearls

hanging from its edges, giving the light, airy shawl a nice drape.

Her three thousand strands of black hair were pinned back, fixed with a white jade loop, enhancing the delicacy

of her face.

It wasn't just the outfit worth a fortune; it was her face, as beautiful as a painting, that truly stunned and incited

envy.

"Is that Elliana Lyle by Norman Bennett's side? Why did he bring her along?"

Mrs. Chen's eyes were fixed, her tone losing the flattery it had just moments before.

Beside her, Mia Clarke covered a laugh and calmly said, "Mrs. Chen, no need to be anxious. It's just a

companion, who doesn’t take someone along? They don’t have a main squeeze yet. If they did, then what room

would a companion have? Wouldn't you agree, Mrs. Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen's expression softened, she chuckled, "Oh yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right, Mrs.

Bennett."
