Announce the engagement first.
Seeing that Nikita didnât speak, Bethel thought she was really scared. After all, it was really bloody and scary, Bethel was also startled.
So her voice became more and more gentle, and she comforted Nikita softly: âI have met Rosa several times when she was a child, and she looked quite clever at that time. I didnât expect her to be like this now. She is so persistent for Sheehan.â
Persistent, of course, Rosaâs love for Sheehan is almost morbid.
âNiky, I have something to discuss with you.â Bethel said gently.4 Looking at Bethelâs warm eyes, Nikita nodded and said politely: âOK, aunt.â
Bethel put the cup in her hand aside, then she held Nikitaâs hand and smiled gently: âI have the sense of crisis because of the matter today, so I have a request for you. You can refuse if you want.â
âWhatâs it?â
âWe have invited almost all the noble and powerful people in N City for the birthday banquet tonight. I just think that you can announce the engagement with Sheehan on this occasion.â
Nikita was stunned: âEngagement?â
Bethel nodded: âYes. Of course, I know that Sheehan should propose first before a formal engagement, then you can choose a day to hold your engagement banquet. So, you can just announce your engagement tonight, just to tell others about your relations clearly.â
âI will ask Sheehan to make up all the banquets and procedures for you later,OK?â
Nikita was stunned again.
Bethel was looking at her gently and lovingly, her tone was also gentle, she was really discussing with Nikita.
Nikita felt that it was hard for her to refuse such a gentle and beautiful person.
She was silent for a few seconds, then she asked in confusion, âTonight? Why?â
Nikita didnât mind getting engaged.
But Bethelâs sudden request was a little hasty.
Bethel loosened Nikitaâs hand and turned to look at the dark sky outside.
They were standing on the observation deck outside the lobby on the first floor.
No one else was there. After looking outside and being silent for a long while, Bethel said: âHas Sheehan talked with you about his fatherâs death?â
Nikita narrowed her eyes.
Before Nikita answered this question, Bethel said: âSheehanâs father died of a car accident.â
Bethelâs gentle voice sounded a little sad: âThe day before his accident, he told me that he would celebrate our wedding anniversary when he comes back.â
âWe have planned to travel abroad.â
âWe have chosen our destination and the hotel we would live in advance. We have even decided what we would eat or play, the plan was perfect, butâ¦â
âThe accident came earlier than the next day.â
Bethel said and turned back, Nikita saw her eyes were red with tears.
âNiky, what happened tonight reminded me of the night when his father had an accident. Now, I sincerely hope that you and Sheehan can announce your engagement quickly. I shouldnât have been so anxious, I shouldnât have urged you, butâ¦â
Bethel didnât finish her words.
But Nikita could understand.
Tonight, Rosa wanted to stab her, it happened all of a sudden.
Just like the car accident suffered by Sheehanâs dad, it was also an accident.
Bethel remembered Sheehanâs fatherâs death because of tonightâs incident, she suddenly had no sense of security, and she was afraid that there would also be some unexpected things between Nikita and Sheehan.
Thatâs why Bethel wanted them to announce their engagement tonight.
