Chapter 1384
Justin stood in a corner in abjection before suddenly laughing in a self deprecating manner. He turned around to look for Anne, only to find her still actively trying to approach Luna in an attempt to strike up a conversation with her.

Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the girl to be Luna Clemon, the daughter of a security guard whom she despised.

After Klaus entered the venue, he didn't even spare a glance at the other ladies present for the occasion, save for Luna, the girl who was the center of attention. As the main protagonist who made her appearance after everybody else, the ball began after Luna showed up.

She led the first dance with Giry, who moved in a coquettish manner throughout the entire dance due to how elated he was. After the first dance, some of the guests left the floor to get some rest, while others continued dancing after switching partners.

Giry was forced to let go of Luna after that and wait for the next dance on the sidelines as he shouldn't be clinging to her throughout the occasion.

Although a lot of male guests intended to step forth, one man skidded in before anybody else could to invite Luna to the next dance. Luna was smiling, but unlike her usual boisterous demeanor, she was elegant and demure when she gently set her gloved palm down on his before stepping on the dance floor with him to dance along to the soothing music.

While the first dance was slightly more intense, the music for the second dance was more relaxing, so the dance steps got slower. With a smile on her face, Luna had her hand on Klaus's shoulder.

Having removed her braces, her teeth looked neat and delicate.

"Why are you smiling?" Klaus asked.

"It's nothing." Luna was still smiling as she replied. Her eyes twinkled as she did so, and reflected in it was Klaus's face. Similarly, he was dressed to the nines. While he had no qualms sitting by the street in a cheap down jacket, enjoying some grilled meat with Luna, he could also be as elegant as a prince, dancing with her in a suit that was worth millions.

In the meantime, Connie was mulling in silence, irritated by the fact that none of the young men she sent undercover to intercept Klaus succeeded in doing so.

However, just when she turned her attention elsewhere, both Klaus and Luna were gone from the dance floor in an instant.

"Klaus, where are you leading me to?" Luna followed behind Klaus, who didn't stop until they reached the balcony on the second floor of the hotel. Along the way, her requests to have him explain the abrupt shift in his behavior fell on deaf ears.

As soon as they arrived at the balcony, Klaus turned to slam the door shut, making them both the sole occupants in the space, which made Luna nervous. She had officially turned eighteen, so they could legally enjoy certain activities that were limited to adults, such as..

Without further ado, Klaus retrieved an intricate box from his bag. The moment he popped it open, he got down on one knee to present to her a diamond ring.

Earnestly, he proposed to her. "I can wait no longer. I must ask for your hand in marriage the moment you turn eighteen."

Staring at the diamond ring, Luna was dumbfounded by his proposal. I.. Isn't this too soon? We only ever held hands and kissed, so shouldn't a proposal happen much later?

However, Klaus didn't feel that it was happening too soon, as he had been waiting for years. Time seemed to drag on when he was waiting, so when she finally grew into an adult, he could wait no longer. Therefore, he was determined to propose to her. He needed her to know his feelings.

On the other hand, Luna was startled by the unfolding of events. Since it was her first time ever being proposed to, she wasn't sure how she should handle the situation. Both of them had yet to experience a heart wrenching parting, nor did they get to reconcile after a misunderstanding. They had yet to go on a trip on a hot air balloon, during which he would forcefully kiss her, nor did he confess his feelings to her when they reached the top of a Ferris wheel ride.

Is this all there is before he proposes? Isn't this a little too simple and bland? Where are all the dramatic and unforgettable moments?

Seemingly in a hurry, Klaus egged her on. "We don't have time."

Sure enough, Connie was already knocking on the door from outside as soon as he said so.

Luna was even more at a loss of what to do upon hearing the rapid knocks, so she made her decision on impulse. "Okay, I will marry you!"

Being relieved of a major burden, a smile bloomed on Klaus's face as he stood abruptly to hold her in his arms, spinning her around for a bit.

His successful proposal made that day the happiest day in his life ever since his parents passed away, while Luna's coming of age party also reached a perfect consummation. Meanwhile, it was already all too late for Connie when she finally got the keys to open the door, as Klaus already succeeded in proposing to Luna.

"Is that all? Is that the end of the story?"

A year later in the hospital, Nathan, who was resuscitated after fainting from the shock of hearing the news of his supposedly six year old daughter's pregnancy and childbirth, was listening to the whole story from Hilda while holding his emerald eyed grandchild.

Is that all? Are you kidding me? He pressed for more details. "What about the most important part of the story?"

"That's all! What else were you expecting? Do you want them to go through all those dramatic yet excruciatingly painful processes as seen in cliche romance novels? Isn't it great that they got together without a hitch?" Hilda questioned, but nonetheless had a look of admiration on her face.

Nathan was utterly baffled by the outcome. The fact that his daughter had slept with Klaus at the tender age of eighteen was mind boggling. "What happened after the proposal? Did you not stop them? Did our parents not stop them?" Nathan wanted to wail due to the abject grief he felt.

"Of course they did, since we all agreed that Luna shouldn't be getting married so soon. Besides, she only agreed to marry him, it doesn't mean that they planned to hold the wedding immediately." Hilda answered

"Then how did they conceive their son?"

Feeling all anxious, Nathan wished he could travel back in time to stop them.

"Well, they slept together after that." Hilda replied.

Nathan inhaled sharply.
