Maid For Beckett Catching The Baseball Legend’s Heart novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

Andi-

I barely comprehended what Becket had said. Sure, I heard him, but I don’t get what he meant.

I let out a nervous laugh, suddenly aware of everything that was happening in my body. The goosebumps that covered my skin, the trashing of my heart in its cage, the ball that materialized in my throat, and the chills that formed in my spine. “Wh… what?”

Beckett’s hold on my hand was steady, but he had to bite his lips. That was the only sign of his nerves kicking in.

“I… that sounded way better in my head,” he admitted, and warmth bloomed in his cheeks. This was the first time I had seen Beckett blush. I never thought he was capable of blushing.

“You can’t drop questions like that,” I told him as my heart kept pounding in my chest.

“But I mean it,” he grumbled, then he wiggled to pull something from his jeans pocket. Then he lifted his hand between us, revealing a red box in it.

I feel my chest grow tight as I watch Becket open the small box. It felt like he was opening my heart in the same slow manner he’s opening that jewelry box. His eyes were focused on me, watching my reaction unfold.

“Will you marry me, Andrea Wilson?” he asked. We were still lying down, and I had to sit up so I could get my bearings together. Beckett followed suit, the red box still open in his palms.

This was an unlikely situation. Sure, I wished that someday, someone would ask me that question, but not like this and certainly not a guy like Beckett Hale.

Tongue tied, I stared at the glowing stone set in a gold band, sitting in the center of a red velvety cushion. The rock was glistening as it caught the light of the bedside lamp.

I tried to keep a steady face, but it was a hard feat. I couldn’t stop my tears from blurring my sight, and I buried my face in my hands as I broke down. My shoulders trembled, but that doesn’t compare to the tremors shaking my resolve.

“Andi, hey,” Beckett cooed as he clutched my shoulder. Then he forced me to remove my hands from covering my face, hooking his thumb under my chin. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

I shook my head. I wanted to tell him the real reason why I was crying. But when I opened my mouth, no words came out.

“This isn’t exactly the reaction I was aiming for,” he said, worrying, blanketing his face. “You don’t have to answer now if this is too much to process.”

He was fighting his own emotions from coming out. He set the red box/down and cupped my face, his thumb swiping my tears from rolling down my cheeks. “Please stop crying. I didn’t mean to make you cry.”

I couldn’t do anything else but shake my head. I had to force my throat to open so I could breathe properly and voice out my thoughts. “Why?”

“Why? Why would I wanna marry you?” I elaborated. I nodded in response. “Why not? You already own my heart, Andi. I can’t think of anyone else I want to be with for the rest of my life.”

His answer only made my tears well. Beckett’s lips pressed on a hard line as he shook his head. “Don’t cry, please.”

“I can’t stop it,” I said through my tears. “You’re out of your mind, Beckett Hale.”

He chuckled. “I’m not. In fact, this is the most sane decision I have ever made.”

My gaze traipsed over his face, searching for something that would tell me he was just playing a prank on me, but I came out empty–handed. There was nothing else but fondness and conviction in his gray eyes.

I squared my shoulder and tipped my chin up as I wiped my tears with the back of my hands. Through sniffles, I told him. “Ask me again.”

He blinked at me, making sure that he heard me right. “You don’t have to-”

“Do you wanna hear my answer or not?” I grumbled. I can feel my face slowly swelling as my tears dried up in my cheeks and hands. “Ask me again.”

He seemed unconvinced, but he picked up the red box again and offered it to me. “Will you marry me, Andrea Wilson?”

I looked him straight in the eyes. Beckett’s worry swirled in his eyes as he waited for my answer.
