NovelOnlineChapter 1282:
“Yes, | will!” Brenna answered instantly, offering her hand so Ethan could slide the ring onto her finger.
Her quick response caught Ethan off guard. “You're agreeing that fast?” He'd expected Brenna, or her family, to
grill him with a few serious questions first.
“I love you. Why would | hesitate?” Brenna said.
Darwin appeared at the edge of the gathering, holding a bouquet of blue roses and a small, elegant jewelry box.
He had arrived just in tto see Ethan's proposal.
A quiet sigh escaped him. Closing the box, he forced a wry smile before stepping forward. “Seems | missed my
chance. Brenna, | wish you happiness.” He extended the blue roses toward Brenna with gracious composure.
Brenna turned to Julia and gave her the bouquet she was holding. “Put this somewhere everyone can see.
Happiness is meant to be shared.”
Then, she accepted the bouquet from Darwin with a smile. “Thank you! These flowers are beautiful!”
Rosie could hardly believe what she was seeing. Darwin, the man she had counted on to stir up chaos, had

That morning, Rosie had been worried Darwin might be unaware it was Brenna’s birthday or that the family was
holding a small celebration.
She had deliberately made sure to inform him, eager to witness a scene that would expose Brenna'’s betrayal,
but Darwin had turned out to be a complete letdown.
Rosie's eyes narrowed as she watched Darwin linger beside Brenna, handing her a neatly wrapped gift box like
nothing was amiss.
What made her blood boil even more was Ethan's reaction, or rather, his lack of one. He didn’t look the slightest
bit bothered.

For weeks, Rosie had kept herself in check, avoiding unnecessary trouble, determined to convince her
grandmother that she was kindhearted and unfairly treated by the family.
Now was not the tto shatter that image, so she swallowed her irritation.
still, the frustration churned inside her.
Her gaze drifted toward Tessa, who stood with Shepard and Ableson supporting her. A faint smile curved Tessa’s
lips; she was clearly pleased by what she was witnessing.
“Grandma, who's the man giving Brenna roses? Is he here to propose to her, too?” Rosie asked, unable to resist
baiting Tessa for a reaction.
As expected, Tessa’s expression shifted, and she turned to Shepard. “Who is he?”
Shepard hesitated, uncertain, and assumed Darwin was just another one of Brenna’s admirers.
Giselle interjected smoothly, “Oh, he’s just a friend of Brenna’s. Probably has a bit of a crush on her. Didn't you
see? He has already congratulated her and Ethan. Nothing to worry about, Tessa.”
Another attempt from Rosie to cause trouble had fallen flat.
With barely a flicker of interest, Giselle sent Rosie a quick 100k, having figured out her tricks in advance.
Rosie kept her gaze anywhere but on Giselle and gave a stiff smile. “You know, it seems like he’s interested in
Brenna as well. She sure has a lot of admirers.”
Trying not to draw attention, she shot a glance at Audrey. Audrey, hearing Rosie's words, glanced back.
