Chapter 153: Marry Me
“Lucien...” I called his name in a whisper. Lost for words.
“I want you to marry me, Natalia,” Lucien proposed as he looked sincerely into my eyes. I love these green eyes so much...but...
“But we...can’t,” I replied softly.
“Should I get down on one knee?” Lucien said jokingly.
“Lucien...enough with the jokes...” I pleaded for him to stop playing around as he laughed a little.
“You’re right. On a more serious note, I want you to consider my marriage proposal seriously. I know we can’t get married right now but I want you to know that I have every intention to make you my wife. You can take this as a pre-proposal. When the time is right, I’ll propose to you properly again then,” Lucien said so sincerely and passionately that I was so moved by his words.
“Thank you, Lucien. Knowing this means a lot to me...I can’t thank you enough. I’m so happy!” I replied with a bright smile. I can’t believe Lucien just proposed to me. Even if it’s not right now...perhaps someday...
“This is for you...I love you, Natalia” Lucien said as he took out a simple solitaire diamond ring and slowly placed it on my ring finger.
Wow! The ring is beautiful and having it on my finger suddenly made all of this feel so real. Lucien is really proposing to me! I don’t know how long I’ve wanted this and dreamt of this happening. However, now that it was sort of happening, I was flooded with very mixed and complex emotions.
