**CONTENT: Chapter 323 The Proposal, Part Two**

It was only then that Lillian became acutely aware of the throngs of people surrounding the central square, their eyes fixed intently on the unfolding spectacle of the grand proposal. The sheer number of onlookers was overwhelming, and she felt the weight of their collective gaze pressing down on her.

Never in her wildest dreams had she envisioned that he would choose such a public setting to declare his love for her.

“Lillian,” his voice, rich and magnetic, reverberated through the square, cutting through the murmurs and gasps of the crowd.

She spun around, searching for him, her heart racing with anticipation, but he seemed to be cloaked in the sea of faces.

His voice rose again, warm and unwavering, a beacon in the chaos.

“Lillian, every time I utter your name, it feels as if we’re drawing closer together, as if the universe is conspiring to unite us. From the very first moment I laid eyes on you in that cave, you became an integral part of my existence. Every so-called coincidence that followed—each encounter, every fleeting meeting—was meticulously orchestrated by me. I wanted to carve my way into your heart, to linger in your thoughts, to be seen, to be cared for… and ultimately, to have you fall for me. I reveled in that pursuit, losing myself in the thrill of it all. But when I realized you were in peril, it struck me like a lightning bolt—I had already fallen profoundly in love with you. So, I drew you into my world, determined to protect you, to ensure your happiness. Now, as you stand on the brink of this new chapter in your life, I want today to be etched in our memories forever. Lillian, will you marry me? Allow me the honor of spending the rest of my life by your side.”

“Marry him, marry him, marry him!” The instant his words faded, a voice rang out from the crowd, igniting a chant that spread like wildfire, echoing through the square in perfect harmony.

Tears streamed down Lillian’s cheeks as she wiped them away, her heart swelling with emotion. She turned her gaze toward him, watching as he approached, his eyes steady and unwavering; the love and devotion reflected in them enveloped her like a warm tide, drawing her in deeper.

Sebastian halted before her, gracefully lowering himself to one knee. He opened an intricately carved box, revealing its contents with reverence. “As the head of the Austin family, I formally propose to you, Miss Lillian. Marry me; entrust me with your life, your future. In moments of pain and sorrow, I will stand by you; in times of joy and celebration, I will be there, too.”

Lillian gazed at him, taking in the sincerity etched on his face, and a smile broke through her tears. “I can be a handful.”

“I’ll manage it.”

“I’m not exactly gentle.”

“I am gentle enough for both of us.”

“I can be petty and jealous.”

The crowd gasped in awe, their shock evident on their faces as they took in the magnificence of the ring.

Cameron, arms crossed, let out a low whistle, a grin breaking across his face. “Sebastian, you really went all out. Presenting her with the Austin family heirloom as an engagement ring? That’s bold, my friend.”

Manny laughed heartily. “Yeah… with that ring on her finger, no one’s ever going to dare cross Lillian again.”

With utmost care, Sebastian slid the ring onto her finger. The blue diamond caught the light, sparkling like a shard of starlight against her fair skin, a perfect fit.

As they watched the couple, Cameron and the others broke into genuine smiles. Seeing them standing together, side by side, they finally grasped the depth of the journey they had endured to reach this moment.

“Lillian,” Cameron teased, a playful glint dancing in his eyes, “Sebastian practiced piano for an entire month just to pull this off for you. Don’t you think you owe him something for that?”

Manny chuckled, his laughter infectious. “Yeah, you should at least do something to show your appreciation.”
