Chapter 2256

“Ah, did something happen to Mr. Johnston? He rarely misses the opportunity to pick you up.” Lulu furrowed her brows, puzzled.

“He has some company matters to attend to,” Nicole replied calmly.

She had planned to visit Samuel and June today anyway, so she did not need to trouble Jared with the task of picking her up.

“I see.” Lulu refrained from pressing on, as the issue was work-related.

Soon, the two arrived at June’s apartment.

After ringing the doorbell, June opened the door.

“Right on time. Dinner is ready.” June smiled and invited them inside.

“We’re so excited to have some good food!” Lulu smirked and sat down at the dining table with Nicole.

Looking at the scrumptious dinner June had prepared, Lulu exclaimed, “Wow, you’re such a good cook!

You’re the prime example of a perfect wife and loving mother.”

Lulu then shot Samuel a glance and said, “You’re truly blessed.”

“Of course, my June is amazing.” Samuel proudly raised his chin, acknowledging June’s excellence.

“Your June? Have you proposed yet?” Lulu teased, unable to help herself.

Without avoiding the topic, Samuel candidly said, “Not yet. When I’ve fully recovered, I’ll arrange a formal proposal ceremony.”

He could not propose in his current state as he figured that it would be too half-hearted.

Lulu was so astonished by Samuel’s response that her jaw nearly dropped to the floor. “Samuel, is it still a surprise? I mean, you’ve basically said it.”

Even if he did have such thoughts, Lulu thought that he should not say it out loud. Besides, she was just reminding him and was not actually asking for an answer.

“But of course, I do have surprises,” Samuel replied casually.

“I won’t tell you the rest of the details, though.”

He had only said that he would propose, but the timing and the nature of the proposal would be kept confidential.

Hearing this, Lulu nodded with a smile and jokingly remarked, “Well, at least you’re not a typical dense male.”

“That’s enough, Lulu.” June blushed and stopped Lulu, feeling embarrassed.

“Alright, I’m zipping it. We’ll just wait,” Lulu replied with a playful smirk on her face.

“Yes, you wait,” Samuel said, taking June’s hand. “Let’s just stop talking about this and feast.”

After everyone was seated, June asked Lulu, “What about Spencer? Why isn’t he here? Didn’t you inform him?”

“Oh, he said he has a rehearsal today, so he didn’t have the time to come,” Lulu explained.

“I see.” Upon hearing this, June ceased inquiring. “Since both Mr. Johnston and Spencer are busy, it’s just us for dinner.”

“Okay.”

The group went on to engage in some happy chatter while they ate, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

After dinner, Nicole and Lulu stayed for a while before preparing to leave.

“Are you leaving already?” June asked, feeling a little reluctant to let them go.

She wanted to chat with them a bit more.

“It’s getting late, and I have to go home to update my parents on Samuel’s situation. You know, to ease their worries,” Nicole said.

“That’s right, and Samuel still needs plenty of rest. We’ll leave now so you can get some rest too.”
