Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 979

"Mr. Lockhart."

At this moment, Faylin suddenly stepped forward, addressing him in a way that left everyone present surprised.

"You must be the Lynwood family's daughter," Luther Lockhart said kindly.

Faylin nodded. "My father has asked me to come and greet you."

"Time really flies. The last time I saw you, you were barely three feet tall. Look at you now… you're all grown up," Luther said nostalgically.

"I remember now, you're the eldest daughter of the Lynwood family," Lydia chimed in, recognizing the connection.

Faylin smiled and nodded in her direction. Lydia returned the smile.

Everyone soon took their seats, toasting and exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere filled with joy and laughter.

After several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere remained lively. Then, Luther and Galen both stood up. Luther raised his voice to make an announcement with a smile, "Dear friends and family, I have wonderful news to share with you today."

At this, the crowd fell silent. Everyone turned to look at them.

Galen continued, "After careful consideration, we've decided to arrange the engagement between Juniper and Lydia."

Juniper jumped to his feet, his face brimming with excitement. He quickly bowed to both of them and said, "Thank you for this honor. I promise to treat Lydia well."

However, Lydia didn't seem to share the same enthusiasm. Instead, she appeared reluctant.

She had already resigned herself to this fate, but after her conversation with Sebastian yesterday, her heart grew even more resistant to the idea.

"Grandpa, I don't want this," Lydia suddenly gathered her courage and spoke up.

"Lydia, is this true?" Luther looked at her as he asked.

"Yes," Lydia said, mustering up her courage.

"Who is it?" Luther pressed as his face grew grimmer.

Lydia glanced instinctively at Sebastian. Strictly speaking, she didn't have someone she truly loved. If she had to choose, then it would be him.

However, she couldn't say that out loud. Galen and Juniper already despised Sebastian, and if she admitted that he was her choice, they would lose their tempers instantly. Luther might even take action, and that would put Sebastian in danger.

Just as Lydia was lost in her thoughts and unsure of what to do, Sebastian stepped forward.

To everyone's disbelief, he held her hand.
