Jacob fished out his phone and punched something into it. Then, he raised his head from his phone and looked at Anna. "Anna, can you please take out your phone?"

"What are you gonna do?" Even though Anna was clueless about what Jacob was trying to do, she still took out her phone.

Susan was curious. She knew Jacob had done something to Anna's phone, but she did not know what it was.

Defeated by her curiosity, she approached Anna and looked at her phone from the back.

Everyone else followed suit. For a moment, many people were crowding behind Anna.

George and Luna wanted to join the fray as well. However, since they were elders, they were not able to bring themselves to join them. Therefore, they were at the outermost side of the crowd. "Do you want me to carry you on my back?" George suggested when he saw how anxious Luna was.

"Okay." Luna nodded.

George, who was tickled pink by Luna, carried her on his back.

Seth turned his head back, and his eyes shrank.

Everyone was showing affection in front of him nowadays. He did not know whether he should stay or leave right now.

However, his curiosity prompted him to stay. When Anna took her phone out, Seth turned his head back.

After all, there was nothing more important than watching a show.

The moment Anna unlocked her phone, the software responsible for the cyberpet popped out and the cat named Dumpy hopped to the center of the screen. Then, a game showed up.

It was an action game, and the game character was Dumpy.

"Try to control Dumpy," Jacob instructed her. "You just need to press your finger on the screen to control its movements."

"This is the present you got me? A game? This is nothing new. There are so many games like this on the market," Anna said with a pout. However, she still did what Jacob asked her and played the game. After she started to play the game, she realized that Jacob had put some effort into developing it. It was addictive, and Anna soon was absorbed in it.

Even the people around thought the game was fun.

The game was addictive, but it was not hard. Anna played all the way and soon reached the tenth level, which was the final stage.

Anna was excited. She rolled up her sleeves and swore that she would clear the game.

Five minutes later, Dumpy finally reached the ultimate destination, and a huge victory sign appeared on the screen.

"Oh yeah!" Anna shouted excitedly as she tightened her hands into fists. "Jacob, your game is too easy. I..."

Before Anna could finish her sentence, she noticed something on the screen out of the corner of her eyes and froze.

As the victory sign slowly faded away, rain began to fall. What surprised Anna the most was that the color of the rain was red.

It had taken Jacob a great amount of effort to get the color right. It did not look eerie or strange. Instead, it gave off a special kind of aesthetic feeling.

Dumpy was rolling on the grass, allowing the rain droplets to fall on its body. It looked adorable.

In the past, Anna's heart would have been melted by her own digital pet. However, her brain was blank, and she could not think of anything else right now.

She had deliberately made things hard for Jacob and said to him that unless red rain fell from the sky, she would not believe that he loved her.

Then, Jacob had reciprocated by making red rain fall from the sky.

Even though it was just a simple game, Anna's heart still could not help pumping faster and faster.

Yes, she was shiftless.

Even though she had decided to teach Jacob a lesson by making things hard for him, her rationality was collapsing and she just wanted to rush up to Jacob and hug him right now. The red rain continued to fall, and Anna was stunned once more.

A ring was falling amid the rain. It fell slowly like a feather and finally landed on Dumpy's hand.

Holding the ring, Dumpy dropped to one knee as if it was proposing to Anna.

At the same time, a line of words appeared on the screen: Will you marry me, Anna?

It turned out that this had been a marriage proposal all along.

Anna's eyes turned red around the rims.

"Oh my, so this is what they call romance of a programmer?" Serenity lamented.

Even though Jacob acted like a robot without emotion, he was pretty good at capturing a girl's heart.

Not only was the marriage proposal creative, but it was romantic as well.

Concurrently, Jacob opened up a ring box and got down on one knee in front of Anna. He held Anna's gaze and proposed in a serious voice. "Marry me, Anna." Against the bright light, his eyes were dazzling and his face was serious.

"You have just courted me for a few days, yet you want to marry me already? Don't you think it's too easy?" Anna pressed down the urge to scream as she said this.

Jacob was flabbergasted. He relapsed into thought for a while before saying, "If you don't want to, then I'll propose to you again."

After saying that, he put the ring box away.

Anna dashed forward and snatched the ring from him. "Did you hear me say I didn't want to?"

Jacob was even more confused. "But you said it was too easy for me. I think you are right. Compared to your contribution to this relationship, mine is nothing. Thus, I think I should continue to court you for a long while..."

Jacob was still talking, but Susan could not stand watching him making a fool of himself anymore. She walked forward and pushed him as she said, "Hurry up and put the ring on Anna."

Jacob jerked his head up and saw the embarrassment on Anna's face. Something crossed his mind, and he finally came back to his senses. He took the ring and put it gently on Anna's finger.

Right after he put the ring on her finger, Anna could not hold back any longer and pounce into Jacob's embrace.

"Manners, manners!" Oliver felt a mixed feeling in his heart.

He thought he had a difficult life.

Both Susan and Anna were his biological sisters, but the former was closer to Jacob than him, while the latter was now engaged to Jacob.

"Sigh."

Be that as it may, Oliver still felt happy for Anna. He knew very well how much Anna loved Jacob, and her wish had finally come true.

Anna had never felt so happy before in her life as she snuggled up in Jacob's arms.

Screw manners. She had been deliberately keeping herself away from Jacob, but she'd had enough. Starting from today, she decided not to hold back anymore.

She loved Jacob, and he was the man with whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life.

Anna raised her head and planted a kiss on Jacob's lips.

Jacob was stunned for a while, but he soon came back to his senses and responded to her kiss fondly.

"The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day. How could they kiss like that in front of so many people?" Seth complained sulkily.

"Alright, let's get going. We should leave the room to the lovebirds." Julian grabbed Seth by the back of his collar and dragged him out.

Everyone else was leaving as well. Judging from the situation, Jacob and Anna would not stop anytime soon, and none of them wanted to be a party pooper.

After he left the Wright Mansion, Seth let out a sigh.

In the past, he used to go everywhere with Jacob. Now that Jacob had a girlfriend, he was certain that he would abandon him. Why am I always the one getting the short end of the stick? Sigh, let's forget it. Only beer can remedy my hurting heart right now.'

"Let's go and have a drink, Julian," Seth proposed.

Julian replied with a smile, "Nah, I'll pass. Susie does not like me to drink too much."

Seth was speechless. He did not know why he had to make his own people suffer.

In order to break free from this kind of life, he began to wonder if he should go and replace a girlfriend as well...

'Didn't the old man say that he has been helping me look for a few dating

candidates? Should I go for it?' Seth sank into deep thought.
