Chapter 249 Official Announcement

Imogen was momentarily surprised, and for an instant, she felt utterly bewildered and at a loss. There was only shock and embarrassment in her heart, with no room for anything else.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and louder.

Erik held a bouquet, his youthful face radiating deep affection. His clear eyes reflected Imogen’s image, and he earnestly said, “Imogen, can you be my girlfriend?”

Imogen composed herself, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts as she quickly made a decision.

Suppressing any reluctance, she put on a perfectly polished smile. With the public as witness, she nodded gently. “Yes.”

The smile on Erik’s lips widened in an instant, revealing his neat, white teeth. His eyes shimmered with a mix of surprise and joy.

He hadn’t expected Imogen to agree directly. The best outcome he had envisioned was that Imogen wouldn’t immediately refuse and would take some time to consider.

“Wow!”

The surrounding crowd erupted in congratulatory cheers.

In the presence of everyone’s earnest glances, Erik placed the bouquet into Imogen’s arms. As he leaned closer, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he said softly, “Thank you, Imogen.”

Taking the bouquet, Imogen curved her lips into a smile. “What are you thanking me for?”

Passersby noticed their interaction and began to cheer again.

A man sitting nearby yelled, “Kiss! Give her a kiss!”

Upon hearing him, other customers followed suit, chanting, “Kiss! Kiss!”

Erik’s ears turned red, and his eyes gleamed with a watery shine. He gazed closely at Imogen, his palm damp with sweat. Summoning his courage, he asked, “Imogen, may I?”

Imogen hesitated for a moment, forcing a smile with all her might before lifting her hand and gently tapping on her cheek.

“Thank you, Imogen.”

Erik’s eyes sparkled with joy. As he leaned in slowly, his warm breath brushed against Imogen’s cheek.

Amidst the laughter, whistling, and hollering from the crowd, Imogen felt tense, closing her eyes stiffly.
