The most important thing was that she was going to propose to Ethan.
Today.

Ethan had booked a restaurant in the middle of the downtown area. It was a huge area and was set up with a fancy and artsy atmosphere. The restaurant only allowed ten tables a day, and money alone couldn’t get you a reservation.
Dawn parked her car at the entrance, and a waiter immediately approached her respectfully.
“Miss, do you have a reservation?”
“Ethan Jackson.”
Hearing Ethan’s name, the waiter’s eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly said, “Oh, Ms. Porter, this way.”
As she followed him in, Dawn couldn’t help feeling even more nervous. The waiter showed her to a private room. Ethan wasn’t here yet.
“Ms. Porter, please wait here. Let us know if you need anything.”
The waiter was just about to leave when Dawn quickly called out to him, “Wait!”
“Ms. Porter, anything I can do for you?”
“Actually, I need a favor,” Dawn said.
Dawn whispered some instructions to the waiter before entering the room. She sat down and checked her phone.
Anna had sent her several messages, “Work is killing metely. I finally got everything settled. Shouldn’t you buy me a nice meal?”
The next message from Anna read, “I checked the map and it’s not far from your office. Shall Ie look for you?”
Without a reply from Dawn, Anna had sent a third message, “Dawn! Answer my messages!”
Dawn felt that if she didn’t quickly reply to Anna, Anna would somehow end up tracking her down.

Dawn quickly sent Anna a voice message, “Not today. I’m busy. I have to propose.”
There was no response from Anna for <i>a </i>minute.
Suddenly, a voice message was sent over.

Dawn nced at the three–second voice message and knew that it definitely wasn’t anything good. She lowered the volume of her phone before she opened it. <fnd707> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on Find1Novel</fnd707>
It was a three–second voice message of Anna screaming.
Dawn was speechless.
That high–pitched scream would have scared anyone nearby if she’d turned on her speaker.
Before Dawn could reply, Anna fired off another message, “Dawn, don’t you think this is too much! How could you not tell me you were nning to propose! You’re so sneaky! I haven’t even met him yet!”
That wasn’t enough for Anna. Anna took a screenshot of Dawn’s captioned voice message and sent it into their group chat, asking everyone to take a go at Dawn.
This set off a major stir.
Everyone in the group started talking and mentioning Dawn directly, blowing up her notifications.
She was about to reply when footsteps drew near. Dawn had no more time for their messages and quickly put her phone away, sitting up straight.
A few secondster, Ethan’s tall figure appeared at the door of the private room.
Ethan nodded to the waiter, “You can serve the food now. Thanks.”
Ethan strolled in, shrugging off his jacket, his casual movements carrying an effortless charm. His soft gaze fell on Dawn. “Have you been waiting long?”
Dawn shook her head. “I just got here as well.”
“The food here’s a bit of a fusion style. I think you’ll like it.”
He pulled out the chair next to Dawn and sat down.
Ethan’s familiar scent hit her, and Dawn felt her heart start racing, making her even more nervous than she had been.

Dawn had always felt that Ethan was a talkative person. Strangely, he didn’t seem to have much to say today and kept ncing at his phone. Once in a while, he’d look up at her with a look that she couldn’t quite understand.
<i>Is </i><i>he </i>mad I didn’t get <i>anything </i><i>for </i>him?
<i>Or </i><i>because </i>I didn’t get <i>a </i><i>cake</i><i>? </i>
While Dawn’s thoughts were running wild, Ethan was reading the ridiculous advice from his friends in their group chat.
“Just pull out the ring and get on one knee! No woman can resist that! If I were a woman, I wouldn’t be able to resist it. Don’t you all agree?”
“Sure, but that’s very basic. I think Dawn would like it if you were more romantic.”
“Why?”
“You know those in the arts are always more romantic.”
Ethan didn’t respond.
His friends argued back and forth, but Ethan stayed quiet. His eyes stayed glued to the chat as he remained deep in thought.
Dawn’s clear voice broke the silence, “Ethan, I ordered a blueberry cream cake for you. Do you want to eat it now? Or should we have <i>it </iter?”
The private room was bathed in warm yellow light, reflecting off Dawn’s eyes like sparkling stars. Ethan’s Adam’s apple twitched almost involuntarily, but his deep gaze remained steady.
After a moment, he asked quietly, “What about you? Do you want to have the cake first, or have dinner first?”
Dawn raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Mr. Jackson, I believe it’s your birthday today. Of course, you should decide<i>.</i>”
Ethan’s long fingers brushed together gently, and he looked down. “I want to go with what you
want.”
A brief silence followed.
<i>That </i><i>came </i><i>out </i><i>a </i><i>little </i>… <i>strange</i>.
Ethan had been talking about cake, but it also seemed like there was an additional meaning

behind it.
Dawn was stunned for a moment before she said, “Then, let’s have dinner first?”
