Love filled their hearts with the sparks of passionate love, similar to how fireworks brightened up the sky.
Romance embraced the couple.
Lucian reluctantly pulled away, afraid that Amelia would be out of breath.
His hot breath tickled her tender skin, making her lower lip quiver.
Before Amelia could react, Lucian took two steps back and knelt on one knee, taking out the ring he had prepared in advance. His eyes carried a trace of affection when he gazed at her. "Amelia, will you marry me?"
Amelia's breath was stuck in her throat after seeing him. After looking at the sincere emotion on Lucian's face, a flush of warmth flooded her heart.
"I know I had forced you to wear the wedding ring back then, but this one is a token of my love for you." Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Lucian added.
"Get up." Amelia was so moved that her voice sounded breathless.
Seeing her respond like that, his shoulders tensed. Lucian held up the dazzling diamond ring, expectation glinting in his eyes.
"What a waste of money!" Amelia frowned and glared at him.
Lucian relaxed after hearing her tone. He put the ring on Amelia's finger and kissed her again.
Amelia snuggled in his arms. The feeling of bliss overflowed her heart.
Although she had seen such an event on TV, she hadn't expected to go through with it for real. Her heart flooded with the waves of excitement.
"Doesn't it feel strange to wear rings in all your fingers?" Amelia held her hand and looked at the fingers intently. She knew these diamond rings must have been expensive, even though she had no idea about its details. Seeing him get another costly ring on an impulse, Amelia thought that Lucian wasn't good at managing finance.
Lucian was still thinking about what to do with the ring. Then an idea popped up in his mind. He attached the ring on a necklace from another box and put it around Amelia's neck.
She lowered her head and smiled.
This man could handle any problem.
"There! Now you won't lose this ring." Lucian stared at her for a moment and nodded in satisfaction.
Amelia's face was red like a beautiful rose blooming under sunlight.
This night was destined to be blissful for them.
The couple cuddled on the beach, watching the beautiful fireworks. They were the happiest people in the world.
It was already three o'clock in the morning when Lucian and Amelia finally arrived at the SJ Garden. Lucian parked the car and turned to look at his sleeping wife. He picked her up, bringing her sleeping figure to the bedroom.
Amelia woke up at noon. The first thing she noticed was the sweater she was wearing. Her eyes narrowed. Didn't she have a coat on her body yesterday? A faint blush crept on her cheeks, thinking the romantic moments she had with Lucian last night. He wasn't beside her. A thought flashed in her head, they had to head over to the Mo mansion today.
What Amelia didn't know was that Lucian was taking a bath. She rubbed her eyes and opened the door. Looking at a naked man bathing in the shower, she froze.
Her wide eyes stared at Lucian's firm back.
How could Lucian be ignorant of his wife's movements? The corners of his mouth quirked up, but he continued to rub soap on his body as if he was alone.
Her face slowly turned pink, and she closed the door behind her. She heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he hadn't noticed her, running back to the bed.
Lucian walked out with only a white towel around his waist, pausing to see his wife inside the quilt. A teasing smile flashed on his lips. He sneakily walked toward her and pulled the quilt, finding her fast asleep. She was facing her back to him.
His smile widened. He laid down beside her, putting his arm around her waist.
Just as she thought she was good at pretending, a sweet fragrance filled her nose, making her heart leap up to the throat.
Lucian paused for a moment before he turned her over to face him. The gesture was so frightening that she forgot to breathe for a moment. She was trying her best to keep her eyes shut, but she couldn't stop her lips from pressing in a thin line.
He chuckled at her expressions and said, "If you keep pretending, I'm not sure if I'll be..."
"No!" Opening her eyes, she cast a nervous glance at him.
