“Is he going to ignore everything she said? What's wrong with him?”
“She has given birth to four kids for him, yet he still doesn't appreciate that? I bet he'll regret it for the rest of his life if he turns her down!”
“I feel so sorry for her. After everything she had done for that guy, this is what she gets in return?”
Samuel could no longer put on a tough front as what Natalie said had melted his heart. He grabbed her hand, pulled her to his chest, and whispered to her ear, “I want you by my side, Nat. I never thought of giving you up. I don't want you to suffer since we don't have much time left together.”
Tears rolled down her cheeks, but that did not stop her from sticking her face to Samuel's chest.
“I've made up my mind, Samuel,” Natalie said. “How about you? Are you willing to do this with me?”
Samuel answered in a hoarse voice, “No.”
Natalie's heart sank upon hearing his reply.
She did not expect Samuel to reject her again after everything she had said. She pressed her lips and froze right there, not knowing how to react to his answer.
When she was about to retract her hands from Samuel's waist, she heard the man say in his deep, sultry voice, “I said no because I can't expect a woman to propose to me.”
“Samuel—” Natalie lifted her head to look at the man.
“It's the man's responsibility to propose to the woman.”
Samuel's eyes reddened. He released Natalie, took a few steps back, and got down on one knee. He looked at her gently and said, “Natalie Nichols, will you marry me and let me back you up without limits, let you grow without borders, and love you without end?”
Natalie came to her senses and grinned in response to his proposal.
Natalie had long seen Samuel as her partner for life. The proposal should have taken place at Dellmoor, but it's fine. It's not too late to do it now!
She bobbed her head repeatedly and replied, “Yes, Samuel Bowers! Yes!”
Natalie wanted to hold Samuel up, but he refused to get up. “Come on, get up.”
“I still haven't put the ring on your finger.”
Wait, what? Natalie froze for a moment. Samuel unbuttoned the first two buttons at the placket of his shirt and took down a silver necklace. A dazzling diamond ring was dangling at the bottom of the necklace.
“This ring?” Natalie lowered her eyes and asked hesitantly.
“Mr. Montesser customized this wedding ring for me,” Samuel explained, “The ring that I gave to Luna at the greenhouse was just a replica. This is the actual ring.”
“I thought the ring would stay with me till the day I die—”
Natalie immediately covered his mouth when she knew he was about to make an inauspicious remark.
“Shush.” Natalie pressed her lips and said, “Go on and put the ring on my finger.”
Samuel responded with a smile. “All right, Mrs. Bowers.”
The gorgeous designer ring fitted Natalie's fair and slender finger like a glove.
“Thank you,” Samuel said with great sincerity, “Thank you for being willing to marry me, Nat.”
Natalie responded with a gentle nod.
Samuel and Natalie held hands and walked into the city hall.
After taking the wedding photo and filling up the marriage registration form, the city hall employee issued them the certificate and said, “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Bowers. Wishing you a long and happy marriage!”
