Chapter 210 Ever after
William placed her cloak over her before she shifted back. He turned away as she dressed herself in the dress he brought for her. Her heart couldn’t help but skip when she realized how well he knew her without even having to say a word.
“I can give you more time to yourself if you need.” William said. He shoved his hands deep in his pockets and glanced at the space around them before finally settling his stormy eyes on her. “I’ll be here—“ “William.” Doris stepped up to him and cupped his cheeks. “I don’t need more time to myself. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I want to be here with you.”
William looked down at her with a little surprise in his gaze—as well as relief. Did he fear she would leave him?
“Have you—have you decided to make the palace your home?” William asked. His hands rested on her hips as he drew her closer. 2 “I think you told me just the other day that home can be a person.” Doris whispered. “You are my home. Wherever you go, I will go.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” William leaned his forehead against her own and relaxed under her grip. She felt him melt against her as if he trusted her small form to hold him up.
Doris closed her eyes and inhaled his scent. He smelled of snow and berries, she wanted to bottle it up and drench everything she owned in the smell. It was intoxicating.
After a beat, William’s hands left her. She opened her eyes to found him kneeling on one knee in front of her with a small velvet box in his hands. When he opened it, a rose shaped diamond ring sat inside with smaller diamonds decorated around the band. It was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen.
“William—“Doris gasped.
“Doris Goodwin,” William said evenly as he watched her. “You are the only person I would ever kneel for. You are the best part of my days and the only reason I can’t sleep when you’re gone. I ask you for your hand in marriage, I ask you to stay at my side until we are nothing more than dust. I ask you to be my one and only queen.” a
Doris’s lips parted, she felt her heart beat bang against her chest as she looked down at him. They stood in this quiet, empty clearing with no one else around. He was the only beauty that she could see and it was… it was perfect. It was her favorite place in the entire world because he was here with her. “Doris Goodwin, will you marry me?” William finally asked. “Yes!” Doris almost screamed. Not even a beat had passed, there was no sense of hesitation or doubt. She’d never felt more sure about anything in her life—and she didn’t know she would feel that way until he asked.
William slipped the ring on her finger and it fit perfectly—as if it was always meant to be there. He took her in his arms and swung her around and around the clearing until she could barely see through her tears.
When he finally set her down, he kept a firm grip on her so she didn’t fall and grabbed her face to kiss
She turned to look up at him. His blue eyes looked calm and happy as he watched for her reaction. No hint of storms or worry clouded his gaze. “I thought we could add more color to it once the baby arrives—” He scratched the back of his head. “You can change whatever you want in here if you don’t like it. I just wanted you to see the place I had made for our baby.”
