Gwendolyn giggled as she extended her right hand, offering Cedrick her slender and fair fingertips.
“Have you thought it through? You can’t regret it afterward. If you dare to let me down in the future, I won’t spare you.”
“Okay. I’ll have the Lego pieces and ruler ready for you any time.”
Cedrick managed to make Gwendolyn laugh. Her sorrowful mood from half an hour ago dissipated completely after his gentle efforts moved her.
It was so sweet that Gwendolyn couldn’t help grinning from ear to ear.
Cedrick held her hand and put the ring on her finger decisively. Imitating the way she spoke, he said, “Now that you are wearing my diamond ring, you belong to me. You won’t be able to escape from me in this lifetime, Gwenny.”
He turned her hand around and kissed the back of it gently. Then, he stood up and carried her in his arms.
“Wait.”
Gwendolyn shifted her gaze to the green roses under the tree. “Such beautiful flowers shouldn’t go to waste. Ask the bodyguards to trim them and put them in vases. Let’s place a few vases in each room, okay?”
“As you wish.”
He lowered his head to kiss her before going back into the villa.
“Why did you think of displaying green roses?” Gwendolyn continued asking. “I thought you dislike the color green. This is the first time I’ve seen someone propose with flowers of this shade.”
“Green roses are unique, just like you are. They symbolize evergreen love. However…”
Cedrick leaned closer to her ear as he continued, “The main reason is that you like the color green.”
His hoarse voice sounded incredibly alluring.
Gwendolyn couldn’t help but kiss him. As their breaths entangled, they got carried away by their love for each other.
For all Gwendolyn cared, the recent mess about inheritance rights, paternity tests, and illegitimate daughters could be dealt with the next day.
That night, Gwendolyn slept soundly in Cedrick’s embrace.
Gwendolyn was awakened by a kiss when dawn arrived the next day.
As she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw Cedrick’s dark eyes glinting with excitement. He had a mysterious expression on his face as he stared at her.
“What’s the matter with you now?”
Nuzzling her nose, he replied, “Gwenny, there is actually another small surprise for you besides last night’s proposal.”
“There’s more?”
“Yes,” he murmured lightly in his charismatic voice by her ear. “Open your phone and check the news.”
Still groggy from sleeping, Gwendolyn reluctantly reached for her phone.
However, the moment she saw the news, her drowsiness instantly vanished. She sat up from the bed immediately.
Cedrick had transferred all his assets, properties, and shares to her.
Overnight, she rose to the top of the rich list in Chanaea, becoming the only female to make it on the list.
She also received a notification on her bank card of a massive transfer from Cedrick.
The entire nation’s netizens were shocked by Cedrick’s astonishing gesture of doting on his wife. All the ten top trending topics were related to them.
“Why… Why did you…” Gwendolyn was so touched that she nearly burst into tears again.
