Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 269

The next morning, Rayne woke up to the sounds of early birds chirping in the valley below them. Her body was both sore and relaxed.

"Good morning, beautiful", Julian walked over with a cup of coffee, handing it to her. "Sleep well?"

Rayne accepted the coffee with a smile before turning to look at him. "How come you always have such a hard time waking up early, but the night we stay up having nonstop sex, you're up and energized?"

Julian flashed a cheeky grin, "I've never felt so alive. I feel like I can single-handedly take on an entire army."

Rayne laughed, shaking her head. She would never understand how men worked, but that was okay.

She took out a number of breakfast dishes, making an entire spread of delicious food appear on the blanket in front of her.

"Well, this is special", said Julian as he sat down beside her.

"Of course it's special!" she said, flashing her diamond ring in front of him. It sparkled brilliantly in the sun, making her gasp at its beauty. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"I really don't know where you found something so beautiful", she said as she moved her hand around in the sun to make it sparkle even more.

Julian watched her with a big smile, "It was actually my last purchase right before I faked my death. I bought it on a whim at the auction house the night 'I got shot', who knew it was fate."

Rayne nodded, "Yes, fate indeed."

After breakfast, they both took their time cleaning up and showering before making their way back to the car.

The walk back was even more wonderful than it was on the way there. Although the sun was out and shining brightly, the constant breeze made the warm weather rather enjoyable.

Since they didn't stop to go fishing again, it only took them a few hours to make it back to the car.

The ride home was quiet but pleasant. Rayne played music from her cellphone, allowing them to sing along happily.

The base was buzzing with life. Everyone was enjoying the nice breeze outside, chatting and enjoying outdoor activities like volleyball and badminton.

Seeing so many smiling faces made Rayne feel even happier. She was so grateful that she had such a warm atmosphere to come home to.

"Rayne! You're finally back!" Ella came over to the car.

"Hey, yes, we're back!" beamed Rayne. She wanted to show Ella her ring, but Ella's sharp eye noticed it almost immediately.

"OH. MY. GOD! Rayne, did he propose?!", squealed Ella.

Julian walked over to Rayne's side. "I did, and I am happy to announce that she said yes."

Ella was so excited that she was jumping up and down while holding Rayne's hand. Her enthusiastic motions caused Noah to walk over, curious about what all of the commotion was about.

When he saw the ring on Rayne's finger, he looked at his friend with surprise.

"Congrats, man! This is really amazing. You finally found your special someone", congratulated Noah, patting Julian on the shoulder.
