Chapter 777:
Rhys blinked, momentarily taken aback.
From the conversation, it was clear that his mother had taken the initiative to talk to Skyla. She had even allowed Skyla to call her by the name she normally loathed. It was all so unlike the Belinda he knew.
Rhys felt a strange sense of disorientation creeping over him.
âMom, youâ¦â
Belinda cut him off.
âI have already chosen a gift for Harlee. Skyla and I agreed that I would offer my vineyard mansion in Uwhor, valued at billions, as a token of my sincerity. It might not be extravagant, but itâs heartfelt. Oh, and another thing. Skyla and I have agreed that both families will jointly buy a villa for you two. You can decide on the design, but the babyâs room is nonnegotiable. We will design it ourselves.â
Skyla chimed in with enthusiasm, âAnd donât forget, the babyâs study, playroom, bathroom, and even the coat closet must also be designed by us!â
Harlee watched Rhys intently, waiting for his reaction.
Before Rhys could respond, the call ended with a sudden, cold beep.
Rhys was briefly taken aback but quickly collected himself. Taking Harleeâs hand with a serious expression, he said earnestly, âLee, I didnât expect them to move this fastâ¦â He hesitated for a moment, then reached into a corner of the car and pulled out a stunning ring.
Locking eyes with Harlee, he asked softly, âHarlee, will you marry me?â
A radiant smile spread across Harleeâs face as she tucked her hair behind her ear and gracefully extended her hand.

âYes, I will.â
The announcement of Rhys and Harleeâs engagement caused a sensation, quickly rising to the top of trending topics across various social media platforms with tags like âRhys and Harleeâs Engagement,â
âThe Engagement of the Green and Sanderson Families,â and âA Match Made in Heaven.â
The comment section was flooded with excited netizens, eagerly sharing their thoughts.
âWow, congrats to the stunning bride-to-be! Wishing you all the happiness!â
âAm I the only one confused here? Didnât Rhys just end their engagement? How did it turn into an engagement party? The world of the rich is a mystery to meâ¦â
âThe Green Group and the Sanderson Group have made a joint statement.
Even a fool could tell this is gearing up to be a grand engagement party.
Cheers to them!â
âFrankly, these marriages of convenience are so dull. Itâs surprising that some people actually enjoy them.
Absolutely preposterousâ¦â
Online reactions to Rhys and Harleeâs engagement were mixed, yet most people extended their congratulations to the couple.
At Remson Manor, Harlee rested in Rhysâ embrace, browsing through the diverse comments online.
Her expression remained detached, seemingly indifferent to the buzz around her.
Rhys, on the other hand, took the comments to heart.
