Sheena chuckled, extending her right hand to Elliot arrogantly.
âMake sure you've thought this through. It'll be too late to regret his later! If you dare betray me, thereâll be no mercy.â
âAlright. We've got the washboard and the ruler at home, ready to be at your service anytime.â
Sheena could not help but laugh at his jest, and the sadness from moments ago completely dissipated under his gentle reassurance, Her entire heart felt like it was soaking in honey, so sweet that she could not help but smile.
Elliot took hold of her hand, decisively placing the ring on her finger, mimicking her tone, âWearing my diamond ring means youâre my woman, Nana. You canât escape for the rest of your life.â
He cradled her hand, planting a soft kiss on the back of it, then stood up, lifting her into his arms.
âWait.â
Sheena glanced at the green roses under the tree, suggesting, âSuch beautiful flowers shouldn't go to waste. Have the bodyguards trim them and put them in vases in every room, okay?â
âYour wish is my command.â
He lowered his head to kiss her, and they entered the mansion together.
She continued asking, âWhy did you think of using green roses? And weren't you supposed to dislike green? Itâs the first time Iâve seen someone propose with this color.â
âGreen roses are unique, just like you. Their language of flowers symbolizes evergreen love, never aging. But...â
Elliot leaned close to her ear, adding, âThe main reason is that you like the color green.â
His husky voice was incredibly seductive.
Unable to resist, Sheena kissed his lips, their breaths entwining, losing themselyes in the mutual love they shared.
As for issues like inheritance rights, paternity tests, or being a supposed illegitimate daughter... They could all wait until tomorrow!
That night, Sheena slept soundly in Elliot's embrace, filled with sweetness.
The next morning, she was awakened by a kiss.
Groggily opening her eyes, she found Elliot's obsidian eyes gleaming with excitement, his face cloaked in mystery as he stared at her.
âWhat's going on again?â
212 Elliot nuzzled her nose, saying, âNana, besides last night's proposal, thereâs another small surprise for you.â
âAnother surprise?â
Elliot's voice was magnetizing as he murmured, âMmhmm. Check the news on your phone.â
