Chapter 1219: Chapter 1222: That Night, Losing Myself to Him (Extra 1) Chapter 1219: Chapter 1222: That Night, Losing Myself to Him (Extra 1) “Tania,” Nolan Lucas walked up to Tania Scott and gently took her left hand.
The bright and large diamond ring was exposed in front of everyone.
Nolan Lucas lowered his head and gently kissed the ring finger on Tania's left hand.
“Tania, do you remember the night I put this diamond ring on your finger? I said I would definitely marry you,” Nolan's passionate and deep gaze fell on Tania's face.
He was so handsome, so captivating.
His deep-set eyes, his chiseled features, and the curve of his lips when he smiled.
Every subtle expression enthralled Tania deeply.
She looked back at him, not even realizing the inappropriateness of his words in such a public setting.
That night.
Which night?
Nolan knew human nature well, and with just a sentence, he let the guests' imaginations run wild.
“Of course, I remember.” Tania was indeed hooked, “I know you wouldn't go back on your word.”
After she spoke, she shyly lowered her head, her cheeks already dyed red like rosy clouds.
Tania was fully aware that answering without objecting or correcting in such a public setting was tantamount to admitting she had already been with Nolan in a substantive way.
But Tania, blinded by love, still spoke those words.
And the other members of the Scott family, who should have interrupted or changed the subject, did not step in at this moment.
Poor Scotts, including Mr. Scott, not one of them was sober.
No, it wasn't that they weren't sober, but rather they yearned for the deed to be done, to cement the relationship between 'Aidan Lucas' and Tania Scott.
Nolan achieved his goal, and a deeper smile appeared on his handsome face.
“Tania, what's your answer? I've proposed to you, will you marry me?” Nolan appeared deeply sincere, yet he couldn't even bring himself to kneel on one knee.
He remained the lofty young master of the Lucas family, merely bending slightly towards Tania as if to complete the act of proposing.
And at this moment, Tania had no mind to care about these things.
There was only one thought in her head.
He proposed, he proposed… Eastonia's most powerful man had just proposed to her, Tania Scott, in front of all the guests!
Excitement, joy, and vanity filled her heart.
Tania was unable to suppress the excitement inside her and almost wanted to say yes immediately.
Fortunately at that moment, Mr. Scott stood up, “Mr. Lucas, marriage is a matter between two families. Although you and our dear Tania are in love, we should discuss the details after the banquet is over, and our two families can talk it out,” he said.
The old are indeed wiser.
While Mr. Scott was eager to establish ties with the Lucas family, he was not going to let Tania agree without first taking a good deal for the Scotts into account.
How much the dowry should be, how much the Scotts could benefit, he intended to calculate it all clearly.
“Mr. Scott is right, it was presumptuous of me,”
Nolan wasn't annoyed that his proposal was interrupted, but instead replied very considerately, “Then we'll wait until the birthday banquet is over and our families can meet separately to discuss the marriage.”
Tania was already his, and everyone present was a witness.
With this leverage, Nolan was not worried in the least that the Scotts would dare not give their daughter to him.

Due to the arrival of Frank Chamberlain and 'Aidan Lucas,' there suddenly weren't enough seats at the main table.
Each table seated ten people.
Mr. Scott, the couple Mason and his wife, Larry and his wife, plus Tania Scott–that's six people altogether.
Of the four remaining places, two were specifically reserved by Mr. Scott for Lily and her husband. Lily said she would bring her husband over, and Mr. Scott originally believed she had a connection with Aidan Lucas.
But since dear Tania had gotten together with 'Aidan Lucas,' he'd pushed that thought aside.
The other two seats were reserved for Noah Ford and Bella Scott.
“Dad, we can't have the President and Mr. Lucas sit at the secondary table, and Marshal Coldwell's daughter too… I think it's best to give up the two seats reserved for Lily Redington,” suggested someone.
