Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse novel Chapter 35

Book2 Chapter27.

I was paralyzed with shock, unable to process what was happening.

My mind buzzed in disbelief as I watched Leo kneel, pulling out a ring while more and more people gathered around us.

They were chanting, "Say yes! Say yes!"

This was supposed to be the moment I'd longed for over the past seven years. The words "marry me" should have been the ones I had dreamed of hearing from him.

I had imagined feeling ecstatic, rushing into his arms, and eagerly saying yes.

But none of that happened.

The "Endless Summer" slipped from my trembling hands, and I clumsily scrambled to pick it up.

The cheers around us grew louder.

I was left weak, leaning against him.

His teeth grazed my lip, and I tasted blood, mingling with the intensity of the moment.

With the crowd cheering wildly, he swept me into his arms and carried me away.
