The lively atmosphere at the Jordan's house was filled with laughter and excitement as Barbie and the gang mingled with the partygoers. Mark's mother emerged onto the stage, seizing the microphone and tapping it twice to capture everyone's attention.
"Attention, everyone! I have a special announcement to make," Mark's mother declared, instantly hushing the crowd. Mark, who stood beside Barbie, raised an eyebrow, curious about what his mother had to say.
"I am delighted to inform you all that my beloved son, my only child, will be getting engaged to Rose next week. You are all invited to join us in celebrating this joyous occasion," Mark's mother announced, her eyes shining with pride. Rose beamed at Mark, who couldn't tear his gaze away from Barbie.
"I promise you, I had no idea she was going to announce that," Mark assured Barbie, sensing her frozen state.
"Baby, are you listening?" Mark gently shook Barbie, concerned about her sudden stillness.
