Chapter 419 âWhat contract?â Maeve looked puzzled Zion retrieved a stamped and sealed contract from his pocket. âIâm giving you all this as a gift. Itâs now all yours, no strings attached.â
âYouâ
âItâs already legally approved, so everything here is yours.â Zion knelt and slid the ring onto Maeveâs finger.
The blue sapphire gem complemented her skin as fait and delicate as snow.
Zion landed a light kiss on the gem. âThis ring is given the name âloyaltyâ
He gazed at Marve with his eyes brimming with tenderness and affection. âI, Zion, pledge unwavering loyalty to you, Maeve. Iâll stand by your side for lifeâ
The candleâs flame flickered, casting an ambiguous glow across the cruise, Maeve blushed. She felt Zionâs hand warm against hers, electrifying and Irresistible.
In the silence of the cabin, the waves crashing against the rocks outside echoed clearly.
After a moment, Maeve spoke up. âDid you forget to ask something?â
Zion frowned as he failed to catch Maeveâs meaning.
*Zion. After going this far, isnât there something else you want to ask?â Marve stumbled over her words. Despite being reborn, sheâd never truly experienced such love.
In her past life with Sergio, she was always the blindly devoted one. She and Sergio had never lived like a normal couple.
However, Zionâs confession now shook her to the core Maeve had always yearned for someone who would love her wholeheartedly.
While Sergio was willing to risk everything for Marve from the Brooks family, Zion had already staked it all for her.
Maeve had no reason to refuse, noc any way to refuse A smile spread across Zionâs face. His deep voice was magnetic âMarve, will you marry me?â
They were close, and Maeve leaned in to gently kiss Zionâs lips.
Her eyes were were ablaze, and she replied with a flushedface, âThatâs my answer.â
With just one kiss, Zion felt a fire ignite in his belly. He immediately reached out to hold the back of Marveâs neck. Her lips were plump and inviting like ripe cherries, tempting Zion leaned in n and kissed her deeply. The moment their lips met, Maeve felt herself melting.
Zion held her tightly as if he wanted to fuse her into his very being. The kiss lingered until Maeve was almost breathless, and then Zion released her.
He gently played with Maeveâs long hair and cupped her face. His voice was now husky and dry. âMavy, wait for me. Wait for the day I bring you home as my wife.â
with her face glowing red, Maeve nodded lightly.
Seeing Maeveâs crimson cheeks, Zion caressed her cheek and lightly kissed her forehead, At that moment, Maeveâs phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she saw that it was Lyra.
Snapping back to reality, Meeve realized the gravity of todayâs events. Assuming Lyra must have been frantic, she answered immediately Before Maeve could speak, Lyra blurted out, âMavy, where are you? Charlie and I are coming to pick you up!â
âWhatâs going on?â
âIsnât today your birthday? Zee prepared a banquet just for you!â
Lyraâs voice was so loud that even zion could hear her.
