His lips parted slightly as he murmured, “Because I want to marry you.”

Felix’s voice was deep, resonating close to her car.

Lauren’s pupils dilated, her gaze fixating on his lips, which shimmered rose–colored in the warm light. She swallowed the bitterness in her throat, not quite grasping what he had said.

Yet, she managed a soft smile, hiding any hint of confusion.

Felix didn’t miss the fleeting stiffness on her face.

Watching her trembling eyelashes cast butterfly shadows below her eyes, he chuckled softly. “Would you?”

She understood this question–whether she was willing–but she had no idea what he had asked just before that,

“I do, she immediately responded with a smile

Outside the window, thunder cracked suddenly, lightning briefly illuminating the turmoil in his eyes,

How can I trust so emily? She thought, her innocence almost lamb–like. He had said he wanted to marry her. Whether she understood or not, she had agreed

That meant the proposal was successful.

This realization delighted Felix

He turned off the light, and the room plunged into a cozy darkness.

“And what were you

With a calm demeanor, Felix replied, “Nothing much. I just proposed to her, and she accepted”

Kate’s eyes widened to their limits, her mouth gaping in surprise. The news had come so unexpectedly that she immediately react.

“How did you propose?”

“I asked her if she wanted to marry me, and she said yes.”

Kate was speechless.

couldn’t

Anna and Marilyn, overhearing this, were equally stunned. That was the proposal! No flowers, no ring, nothing! Just Felir’s words,

Marilyn felt a warmth in her eyes, knowing how much Lauren had been hurt before. She was so desperate for affection.

That’s why she didn’t hesitate to accept such a simple proposal from a respectable family like the Brookers.

Elliot was jumping up and down like a madman, his face contorted with rage and madness.

Lauren watched him with a cold detachment, her gaze as frosty as the chill of the night.
