Chapter 792: Chapter 792: The Most Romantic Proposal (22)
“Alright!” Although Steve Burton agreed verbally, his gaze towards Ruby Gregory obviously carried a sense of arrogance, as if there was no way she could win.
Ruby clenched her teeth secretly and continued to emphasize, “I want him to kneel in front of everyone and sing ‘Conquer’ by Little Apple!”
Steve imdiately agreed to Ruby’s words, handing the dice to Ruby and saying, “Ladies first.”
Ruby didn’t hold back, throwing the dice directly. After the dice spun for a mont, they ca to a stop: two points.
Ruby couldn’t believe her eyes as they widened. Two points? Didn’t that an Steve could easily win by rolling a three?
Steve couldn’t help but burst out laughing, but when he t Ruby’s angry gaze, he quickly stopped his laughter, picked up the dice, looked at them carefully, and then threw them without any expression.
...
Ruby thought she was definitely going to lose, feeling a bit disheartened, but when the dice finally stopped, there was only one point showing.
Ruby blinked her eyes. No way… she rolled two points thinking she was already defeated, but Steve got only a one, even worse than her?
Ruby was instantly thrilled in her heart. She turned her head, about to say to Steve, “You lost the bet, so hurry up and kneel down in front of everyone to sing the Apple version of ‘Conquer’!”, when a waiter suddenly walked over and said, “Ms. Gregory, Mr. Burton, it’s ti to cut the cake.”
Ruby had to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Steve tilted his head slightly, his lips close to Ruby’s ear, and whispered, “Everyone is waiting for us to cut the cake. After we cut the cake, I’ll kneel down in public for you.”
In fact, Ruby was just joking, and she never intended to make Steve kneel and sing ‘Conquer’ in front of so many people. So, when Steve finished speaking, Ruby couldn’t help but smile, stood up with him, and walked side by side towards the center of the banquet hall.
All the lights in the banquet hall went out, as several waiters pushed a cart with a multi-layered cake, topped with twenty-six candles, and approached them slowly.
The the music of ‘Happy Birthday’ played overhead the banquet hall, and everyone started to sing the Happy Birthday song in unison.
The mont the song ended, the cake was pushed right in front of Ruby. Everyone bent down together and blew out the candles around the cake, then the lights in the banquet hall ca back on, and Ruby, with the help of the waiter, cut and served the cake.
The cake cutting was left for the last part of Ruby’s birthday party, and by this ti it was already late at night. Although many people didn’t want to eat anymore, they still took a piece of cake as a symbolic gesture and ate so.
After finishing the cake, it was ti to see off the guests.
As the protagonist of the birthday party, Ruby, accompanied by Steve, left for the front entrance of the Grand Capital Hotel one minute ahead of ti.
At so point, a brand new red carpet had been laid at the entrance of the Grand Capital Hotel. Ruby, holding Steve’s arm, walked out of the revolving door, stopped two ters away, and saw many of the guests who had attended her birthday party leaving the hall.
Ruby was about to say goodbye to the departing guests with a smile when Steve, who was standing beside her, suddenly blurted out, “You won the dice ga earlier, and you said you wanted to kneel here, right?”
Ruby, caught off guard by Steve’s sudden remark, hadn’t even turned around when Steve, who had been standing shoulder to shoulder with her, suddenly took a step forward, and just like that, fell on one knee in front of her.
