Nearby, Gernard glanced at Gavin and quietly asked, "What's going on? Is Dad still not here?"
Gavin, watching Aveline walk toward Lucas, responded in a calm tone, "Dad said he didn't want to witness this. His daughter just came back, and now she's already getting married again-it frustrates him." Gernard clicked his tongue, a faint smirk playing on his lips, but said nothing more.
On the other side, Maria held up her phone, watching as more viewers flooded into her live stream. She smiled slyly and whispered, "Everyone, you're witnessing a live proposal! Don't forget to send your blessings!" Beside her, Sidney looked on, his gaze complicated as he watched Aveline.
Memories of everything that had happened since meeting her flashed through his mind. He was grateful to her-there had been a time when he even felt something deeper-but by then, it was already too late. When he finally realized how much he cared, Aveline had already fallen for Lucas, her heart completely devoted to him.From NôvelDrama.Org.
A deep sense of melancholy washed over him.
Maria, noticing Sidney's expression, jabbed him with her elbow. "If you don't want to get kicked out, you better fix that look on your face."
Sidney frowned, stepping back a little and schooling his features, trying to mask his emotions.
Maria saw him pull away and felt a wave of irritation.
But with her live stream still going, she couldn't fully express her annoyance, so she bit her lip in frustration.
"Still pining for Aveline? Hmph! Too bad-she belongs to Lucas now!" she thought.
Meanwhile, Zachary stood nearby, offering his heartfelt blessings. He had grown up with Aveline and had witnessed much of her life. He hadn't been able to help her through many difficult times and felt a deep sense of guilt. But now, seeing her find her family and her happiness, he was genuinely relieved.
On the other side, Selena was the most emotional of them all. She had been there from the start, witnessing every step of Aveline's journey.
From the day Aveline brought an amnesiac Lucas home, to all their moments together, and then Lucas regaining his memory-she had seen it all. The struggles, the pain, the heartbreak Aveline had endured...
Selena's heart ached for her friend, but she also knew, without a doubt, that Aveline truly loved Lucas.
Fate had bound Aveline and Lucas together.
No matter what happened, they were destined to be entwined for life.
Selena, fearing that her sobs would ruin the atmosphere, bit down hard on her lip and covered her mouth, struggling to control her breathing. Yet tears still streamed down her cheeks.

Aaron, standing beside her, noticed her emotional state. He quietly took out a tissue and gently wiped her face, sighing softly.
It had been such a long, difficult journey for all of them.
The sunset bathed the horizon in a
brilliant glow casting a soft orange light over the clouds, the hills, and the trees wrapping everything in a gentle warmth. The pink crescent arch before them was both fragrant and beautiful, and the breeze carried the delicate scent of roses through the air.
Step by step, Aveline walked toward Lucas.
There he stood, in the middle of the sunset, kneeling on one knee.
His eyes were filled with sincerity as he looked up at her, his expression calm yet full of emotion. "Aveline, will you marry me?"
There were no elaborate words, just a simple, heartfelt question-the one that mattered most. Aveline extended her hand, her face lit up with a joyful smile.
"I will," she said softly.
Lucas slid the ring onto her finger, then lifted her hand and kissed it gently.
Comments flooded the live stream, brimming with excitement and heartfelt blessings. Meanwhile, across the ocean, Russell watched the moment unfold on his phone. A bittersweet yet resigned smile played on his sharp, handsome features.
In the end, she and Lucas had found their way back to each other.
