Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 853

“Of course I do! My son-in-law is the head of the Aurelius Dominion Group. I have to ride his coattails to the top!”

Marie watched, dumbfounded. She never imagined that Terence was the head of the Aurelius Dominion Group.

How could this be?

Suddenly, confetti cannons erupted, and a brilliant shower of rose petals rained down from above.

Terence knelt on one knee before Natalie. “Natalie, will you marry me?” he asked.

Natalie was still trying to process the fact that Terence was the head of Aurelius Dominion when he suddenly dropped to his knee.

Was he proposing to her?

Just then, Hanley walked up with a ring box, flanked by Lucas and Liana.

Hanley held out the ring to Natalie. “Mommy, please marry Mr. Lockwood. He’s truly sincere.”

Natalie looked at Hanley, surprised that he was encouraging her to marry Terence.

Lucas added, “Natalie, will you be our mommy? Then all three of us will have a mommy.”

As Natalie hesitated, Liana said sweetly, “Natalie, we really want you to be our mommy.”

Natalie’s face lit up with joy. “Liana, you can talk!”

Liana nodded. “Natalie, you’re my mommy. You cured me. I can speak now.”

A wave of amazement washed over the crowd. Natalie truly was a good luck charm. She had helped Terence stand again and cured the Lockwood family’s second young miss. The Lockwood family had truly become better since she arrived.

Terence said, “Natalie, will you accept me? From now on, the five of us can be a family, taking care of and supporting each other.”

“Marry him! Marry him!”

Amidst the cheers and congratulations of the crowd, Natalie accepted Terence’s ring.

It turned out that happiness could be so simple, so natural.

From the crowd, Natalie caught a glimpse of his lonely figure. He was here too.

So many people, so many things. Some chances, once missed, are gone forever.

Terence scanned the crowd below the stage, a frown creasing his brow. Where were his mother and grandmother? He had told them to come early.

…

At the Lockwood estate.

Mrs. Lockwood tugged on Grace Lockwood’s arm. “Mother, hurry up. Terence asked us to go to the banquet hosted by the Ward Group. He said there was something very important he wanted us to be there for.”

Just as Grace Lockwood and Mrs. Lockwood were about to head out the door, an uninvited guest arrived.

The butler announced, “Mrs. Lockwood, a guest from your past is here to see you.”
