Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Reluctant

The engagement ceremony was nothing short of extravagant.

The Linton family invited all the notable aristocrats of Banyan City, showing sincere respect and considerable face.

Lady Stephens and Edward Stephens also arrived discreetly soon after the engagement banquet began.

The Stephens family had a unique background and, although they were low-key in Banyan City, no one dared to gossip about them. When the two appeared at the engagement ceremony, the entire banquet hall fell silent, and the crowd instinctively parted, forming a one-meter-wide vacuum around them.

This was the first time the two met again after their separation.

Daisy Ginger leaned against the wall, watching Abigail Perry eagerly walk over to toast Lady Stephens and Edward.

Daisy’s gaze fell on Edward beside Lady Stephens.

Today, he wore a blue-black striped suit, looking refined under the bright lights, with his finely chiseled features appearing exceptionally noble and handsome, without any flaw.

He didn’t say a word, yet managed to capture the attention of the banquet hall.

She saw Edward give a gift to the waiter following Abigail Perry and glanced at it indifferently before retracting her gaze; their eyes didn’t meet.

Lady Stephens noticed Daisy and seemed eager to speak with her, but she was caught up by Abigail Perry and couldn’t get away, showing some anxiety. Daisy took a sip of her drink, handed her glass to a waiter, and turned to walk towards the elevator.

There seemed to be lingering gazes behind her, but Daisy did not look back.

She went upstairs to rest for a while, and when she woke up, it was already eleven o’clock.

The banquet was still in progress.

Daisy refreshed her makeup and slowly strolled down the hotel’s opulent corridor.

The banquet had not yet reached its end, so there were few people in the corridor, making the sounds echoing through it particularly clear.

"Edward. Thank you for coming today."

Daisy slowly stopped in her tracks, feeling a strange urge to laugh.
