My breath hitched as | took in the sight before me.

Red roses and white lilies adorned every corner of the living room, their delicate fragrance mingling in the air. A

handmade banner, crafted with shaky crayon strokes and smudged watercolor splashes, stretched across the

wall-

“Mommy Weds Daddy!”

My cheeks burned. My lips parted, but no words cout. Was this real?

“Mommy, can you please marry my daddy?”

Jane's sweet voice yankedout of my daze, just as a burst of glitter rained from above. Zoe clapped gleefully,

her excited giggles filling the room.

“We surprised Mommy! Yay!”

Then cthe soft melody of a symphony playing in the background, and Bright stepped out, his eyes locked on

mine, a tender smile dancing on his lips.

My heartbeat went erratic.

And then-he went down on one knee.

“Laura,” his voice was low, almost trembling with emotion.

“You are my home. My peace. My greatest love story.”

He opened a small black velvet box, revealing a sparkling diamond ring, carefully chosen, undoubtedly carrying

pieces of our journey.

“I don’t just want to be your husband, Laura. | want to be your partner in every storm, your safe place in every

chaos. | want us to build a life where love always wins.”

“Will you marry me?”

My hand flew to my mouth to stifle an involuntary scream, the tears of happiness burned

my eyes. This flawless effort, romantic ambiance, and detailed proposal fluttered my heart like butterfly wings,

makingswoon. | was on cloud nine to be treated with so much love.

My kids, this home, and my considerate partner who wanted to be my family, not just a husband, hadn't left any

room for discussion. | was awestruck by his preparations when Zoe and Jane picked up a basket full of red rose

petals with a black jewelry box.

Bright opened that box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring in it.

“That's what we have selected as a token of our affection, Laura. | know it should be more

than that, but please accept our proposal.

We will do our best to compensate for it in the future.”

Jane and Zoe stood beside him, becoming his team members, Bright spoke on his team’s

behalf.

The kids didn’t take much tto adjust with a new person. Well, Bright was like that, an easygoing person with

a hypnotic personality, no one could resist charm at all. | gladly stretched my hand for him.

“It's a yes!

| would love to marry you, Bright.”

My positive response ran a jolt of happiness in the room. Bright put on that diamond ring on my finger and

kissed the back of my hand.

“Then | am honored to be your fiancé, Laura.”

Though our official engagement was supposed to be a ceremony, Bright had arranged this surprise because of

his grandpa’s illness. But | was touched by this intimate setting.

After dealing with social media and the public last out on a daily basis, | was at my wits end. | just wanted to

have a peaceful home, and Bright had perfectly interpreted my

Nintentions.

It was like we were in synchronization, already behaving like a couple. My happiness had no limit when | updated

my status on my social media account from single to engaged. Henry left all his business meetings and came

straight here to congratulate us.

Henty and Bright invited sof his close friends for a small party in a restaurant, introducing our couple. It was

a nice chance to be with a loving partner, who truly cared for

me.

My life was close to perfection, all unicorns, and rainbows, | couldn't believe my luck for a few days. Like, how

could everything go smoothly in my life?

The netizens were making wild guesses about my fiancé, hinting that | was secretly dating Leo because of his

heroic action. According to them, he had wonover. So, to clear this confusion, | only posted a vague

statement.

“Thanks for your best wishes for my new life. | have closed the dark chapter of my past for

good.

Cheers to a new beginning!”

As | had decided not to allow anyone to rely on my nto resolve their issues, this post was just a first step. |

fired my nosy employees and changed all the cameras of my office

and Villa.

Even throwing all the dresses that | wore while meeting Leo felt appeasing, it seemed like | was completely

getting rid of him. | was firing ssuspicious guards when | noticed a commotion at my Villa's gate.

It looked like someone was arguing with my staff. The duty guards reported it toas | walked outside.

“Ma’am, an ambulance is here!

Driver says that he is ordered to park it inside the Villa.”

Ambulance at my Villa?

The gates of my Villa were opened for that ambulance without its wailing sirens, that was a sign that it wasn’t for

any emergency here. However, the gravity of the situation sank in when a nurse helped a man in a wheelchair to

cout of that hospital wagon, showingstars in the daytime.

That stupid was none other than Leo, who had Bribed his doctors to sneak out of the hospital in the middle of his

recovery.

He was stubborn, | got it. But when did he becso crazy that he forgot to take care of himself? As for the

record, Leo loved himself only, his selfishness was his signature trait.

It was so out of his character, so far from what | knew of him, that | just stared at him open-mouthed. My brain

formulated no thoughts other than to register that | was hell

shocked as he said,

“You can’t kickout of your life in this way, Laura. | know | have disappointed you, but, why can’t you give me

one chance to prove my love for you?”
