Fake Daughter Is The Real Legend (Iris Sutton) novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380 Final

A few days later, iris stopped by the Barclay residence to visit Emma.

She had barely stepped through the front door when she goticed something strange.

The house was unusually quiet

Iris’s expression changed slightly.

The silence immediately reminded her of what had happened before-Rumi Young, then the Stanford family had once tried to kidnap Emma overseas. Ever since then, any unusual silence around the little girl was enough to put Iris on alert.

Her gaze swept across the spacious courtyard.

Seeing her reaction, Ares immediately realized that she had misunderstood the situation.

But there was nothing he could say now

All tie could do was hope that everyone inside was ready for what was about to happen.

Ins slowly reached for the door

The moment she opened it, someone standing directly behind the door moved.

Before they even had time to turn on the lights-

Bang!

A loud thud echoed through the living room.

The lights suddenly flicked on.

Everyone froze.

Iris had somehow grabbed the person behind the door and thrown them over her shoulder, sending them crashing onto the floor.

The person groaned and slowly sat up, wincing in pain

They had been standing there moments ago with a huge smile on their face, eagerly waiting to surprise Iris..

Apparently, they hadn’t expected the biggest casualty of the surprise party to be themselves.

They looked at Iris and Ares with an expression of deep betrayal.

The entire room was silent.

Iris’s parents, the Barclay family, and all their friends stared in stunned disbelief.

Who would have thought their carefully planned welcome party would begin with the guest of honor throwing someone across the room?

Fortunately, Emma Barclay’s little brain worked surprisingly fast when it needed to.

She immediately nudged the person holding the confetti cannon.

The person finally snapped back to reality

Pop!

The confetti cannon exploded.

Colorful ribbons filled the aur, finally breaking the strange silence.

Everyone burst into laughter and cheers

And in the middle of the falling confetti, Ares suddenly stepped forward.

Then, to Iris’s surprise, he dropped to one knee

The laughter gradually quieted

Iris stared at him

Ares looked up at her, his eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and affection.

“Iris

He took a slow breath

“I know I was wrong in the beginning”

His voice was steady, but his hands were trembling slightly

“t rejected the arranged marriage without even knowing who I was rejecting.”

A faint, self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

“And when I finally found out that the person I was supposed to marry was you.

He shook his head.

“I regretted it more than anything.”

Iris’s eyes softened.

“If had just taken the time to see who you really were back then, maybe we wouldn’t have had to go through so many twists and turns.”

He reached for her hand.

“But maybe… everything happened for a reason.”

His fingers gently closed around hers.

“Because after everything we’ve been through, I’m still standing here with you.”

Ares looked at her with an affection so deep that Iris felt her heart tighten.

~ And I’m lucky” He smiled. “Lucky that I found you Lucky that you gave me another chance. And lucky that I get to stand here today and ask you to become my with.”

He took another breath

Today, in front of everyone we love, I promise you something”

His gaze never left hers

“There will only ever be one person I love in this life.”

He squeezed her hand.

“YOU”

A few people in the room sighed softly

Ares continued, his smile growing

“If you tell me to go left, I’ll never go right

Someone in the crowd laughed

And whether it’s something happening at home or something outside, I’ll let you make all the little decisions.”

He paused

“Of course, in our family, there probably won’t be any major decisions.”

His smile widened

“Iris…” His voice softened “Will you marry me?”

The room became completely silent

To Ares, the waiting felt unbearably long

A second passed.

Then another,

The excitement in his eyes slowly faded into nervousness

Had he said something wrong?

Had he made the proposal too long?

Had he

His carefully memorized speech had completely vanished from his mind.

In a panic, Ares glanced down before reaching into his pocket,

He pulled out a small, slightly crumpled piece of paper.

He gave an embarrassed-cough

“I did prepare something

A few people immediately started laughing

“I just got too nervous and forgot everything”

He held up the note

“Can I start over? I’ll read it this time”

tris stared at the little piece of paper.

Then she looked at him

This man

The man who could remain calm in almost any situation was now standing in front of everyone, completely flustered because he was afraid she might say no

Her heart melted

She truly loved him.

And she knew that his feelings for her had always been genuine

But she had never expected him to love her enough to be this nervous

Ins reached out and took the note from his hand

“Don’t read it”

Ares froze.

“But, I-7
