Chapter 9 Evans car slowly pulled up in front of the banquet hall .

The door opened , and hed barely taken a step before his friends surrounded him .

They gathered around , chattering excitedly .

Their faces lit up with anticipation , as if waiting for the opening of a grand show .

Where are the videos , Evan ? Didnt you say you were posting them today ? someone asked impatiently .

His eyes gleamed with gossip .

Frowning , Evan slowly pulled his phone from his pocket .

Under the eager gazes of the crowd , the faint glow of the phone screen flickered in his hand .

But just as everyone thought he was about to unlock it , he suddenly put the phone back in his pocket and said calmly , Im not posting them .

Those four simple words hit like a stone thrown into a calm lake , immediately stirring a storm of confusion .

Everyone stared , their eyes wide with disbelief .

Youre not posting them ? they all exclaimed in unison .

Their faces were filled with shock .

Someone couldnt hold back and asked , What do you mean , Evan ? Didnt you say you were going to give Jarrett a big surprise today ? Yeah , weve been planning for so long .

Why back out now ? Dont mess with us , Evan ! Evans gaze turned cold .

His tone was tinged with annoyance as he said , Its nothing .

I just dont think its the right time .

The more videos there are , the deeper Jarretts pain will get .

Whats the rush ? His friends exchanged glances , clearly caught off guard by his response .

One of them muttered under his breath , Youve been dating for three years .

Shouldnt there be enough videos ? Evan , youre acting really strange lately .

Another guy straight up asked , Evan , just tell me .

Are you No ! Evan cut him off , his voice as cold as ice .

His eyes were sharp as he scanned the group .

The videos are between me and her .

Ill post them when I want .

Its nice of you to be concerned , but dont overstep .

The mood became awkward .

His friends quickly tried to smooth things over .

Their tone was filled with attempts to please him .

We didnt mean anything by it , Evan .

Dont be mad .

One of them patted him on the shoulder .

Yeah , yeah , we were just asking .

Dont take it to heart .

Evan didnt say another word .

He turned and walked into the banquet hall to begin checking the decorations .

His gaze swept over every detail , his brow furrowing deeper with each passing moment .

He pointed to the flowers on the table and said firmly , These flowers wont do .

Change them .

She doesnt like pink .

She likes blue .

Go buy new ones now .

His voice carried an undeniable authority .

Then he gestured at the carpet .

This carpets too dark .

Get a lighter one .

And this place looks too empty .

Put up some balloons .

Stack the gifts here .

Didnt I buy a bunch of them ? The waiters and event planners scurried around , trying to keep up with his demands .

Evans friends stood nearby , staring in stunned silence .

One of them whispered , Whats going on with Evan ? Hes never cared about this stuff before .

Is this really the same Evan we know ? Yeah , I really dont get him .

If hes just using Joselyn , why go through all this trouble? He couldve just thrown a simple birthday party .

Another one shook his head .

Somethings off .

Evan didnt seem to hear their murmurs .

He reached into his jacket and pulled out a delicate box .

He opened it to reveal a dazzling necklace inside .

He looked up and asked one of his friends nearby , Do you think shell like this necklace ? One of the guys leaned in , his eyes widening as he gasped , Holy crap ! Isnt this the one the Queen wore ? Its worth over 100 million dollars ! Evan , youre really giving this to Joselyn ? Thats a huge investment ! Evans expression stiffened for a moment , but his voice remained indifferent .

Its the only way shell love me more .
