With her face burning bright red, she gently pushed him away and whispered, “Stop it, Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Campbell are watching!”
Shane turned around and shot them an annoyed glance upon hearing that, causing Mrs. Wilson and Silas to giggle in response.
“We’re terribly sorry, sir! We didn’t mean to interrupt you two! Anyway, I should see to the soup in the kitchen now!”
Mrs. Wilson then returned to the kitchen, leaving Silas to face Shane all by himself.
“I… I came to bring you this, Mr. Shane…” Silas stammered a little before producing a tiny box from his pocket and handing it over to Shane.
Natalie took a look out of curiosity and felt her heart racing again when she saw that it was a red velvet box.
Is he…about to propose to me with a ring?
Natalie swallowed nervously at the thought of that. But she didn’t want to make it obvious that she was staring at him as it would be awkward if he wasn’t actually going to propose like she imagined.
While she was still trying to guess his intentions, Shane opened the box, revealing the shiny diamond ring inside.
The ring was made out of platinum and had a bunch of rhinestones that formed a circle around a three-carat pink diamond.
Natalie’s eyes lit up when she saw how beautiful it was, and she instinctively exclaimed, “It’s so pretty!”
Screw it, no woman can possibly resist the temptation of diamonds, and I’m no exception!
Shane smiled when he saw her reaction and held the ring up in front of her. “Do you like it?”
Nodding, Natalie said without hesitation, “Yes, I love it!”
She then lowered her head in embarrassment when she realized what she had done.
