The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 1228

The ring had a main, big diamond with a bunch of smaller ones embedded around it, and it was beautiful.

The diamonds on the ring appeared to be sparkling due to their high purity.

Natalie stuttered, “T-This is...”

“This is tonight's real surprise.” Gently, Samuel held her hand and stared at her affectionately.

“Why?” She felt puzzled. “Are you asking for my hand in marriage? We're married, aren't we?”

“We are, and I am.”

That confounded her even further. “Then...”

“It's just that... We always seem to be in a rush, like when you gave birth and when we registered our marriage. Whatever we do, it always seems to be lacking a little something.” Samuel raised the ring while his eyes were filled with warmth and affection. “Rather than perfection, I want us to have a sense of completeness in regard to our relationship. So, I want to give you a romantic marriage proposal and a wedding you didn't have. Nat, will you marry me?”

Despite the encompassing Milky Way in the night sky and the vast land beneath them, they felt as though they were the only beings in existence at that moment.

It was a simple gesture from Samuel, yet it felt incredibly romantic.

While Natalie wasn't the type of woman who valued romanticism greatly, his expression of love did get to her. I used to tell myself that I mustn't fall in love, but he never once tried to knock down the walls I

built around my heart by force. Instead, he taught me how to trust someone completely and to love someone deeply through his actions. For more than a year, he repeatedly sacrificed for me and saved me. I'm lucky to be able to fall in love with him.

Without hesitation, she uttered, “I do.”

“Thank you, Nat.” He proceeded to put the diamond ring on her finger. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

The ring from before was buried with her fake corpse in a fake grave by Bastien when she was pretending to be dead.

The diamond ring Samuel presented to Natalie was brand new, signifying their new beginning.

As she gazed at the brilliant diamond ring, she recalled the joy and pain she had lived through with him. A smile formed on her countenance as tears streamed down her cheeks.

She was afraid he would witness her embarrassing moment, so she turned around, hugged his neck, and kissed him passionately on the lips.

Initially, Samuel allowed her to take the lead.

However, that wasn't enough for him.

He craved far more than what she was giving.

Natalie thought she had gone past her limits by acting that proactively, but then he took the lead and intensified the kiss. It became so passionate that she had trouble breathing.

She felt as though she was a fish in a desert as she panted.

With a hoarse voice, he inquired, “Is it okay if we do it here?”

Even if I want to, there's no way I can say yes! Still panting, she answered, “I don't think it's a good idea...”

“There's no one around.”

“But...” Natalie furrowed her eyebrows. “I still don't think we should do it...”

Instead of backing off, Samuel persuaded, “How about we give it a try?”

That's no good, either! “Try—” Before she could utter another word, he penetrated her.

Immediately, shameful moans left her lips instead of the words she wanted to say.

At that moment, she was so embarrassed that she felt like dying.

However, she didn't, so her embarrassment continued.

The couple euphorically made love to each other under the dazzling night sky.
