Evelyn was taken aback. She hadn't expected the most significant event of the evening to be the announcement of Blake's and Jessica's engagement.

No wonder Jessica had asked her to stay until the end. Was it because she considered Evelyn family, like a sister, and wanted her to bless them?

Blake stood on stage, his gaze sweeping over the crowd from above. In the flickering lights, he caught sight of Evelyn sitting in a dim corner of the second
