Chapter 447: Official (3)
"Annalise! About time you brought my daughter here," Phillip said, glaring at Rafael as he was the one to ruin their plans.
Phillip spent the day putting together the decorations for Annalise’s proposal only to hear that Rafael had set up somewhere else. It was already too late for him to change Rafael’s mind and Phillip didn’t want to be rude by showing up.
It was a surprise for him to see Annalise and Rafael already since he thought they would want to be alone. Phillip was getting ready to put away everything he prepared when Annalise and Rafael showed up right in time to stop him.
"I am engaged, father," Annalise said, showing her ring even though her father might have seen it already. She felt the need to show it to everyone she would come across between now and the wedding.
"Congratulations," Phillip said, pulling in Annalise for a hug. "I wish you a lifetime of happiness with him."
"Thank you. You put in so much work to surprise me. Are those fake flowers?" Annalise questioned, finding the flowers her father had placed around to look strange.
"They are fake," Phillip confirmed. He tried to be creative to get flowers to be used as decoration. "I can’t take credit for making them. I came across someone in the market and asked her to make a few for me."
"They are pretty," Annalise said, stepping out of her father’s embrace to take a closer look at the flowers. "Now I can look at flowers without being afraid my skin will want to itch. The palace garden back in the Casto kingdom was a nightmare for me. Thank you," she thanked Phillip.
Phillip felt all his hard work had not gone to waste now that he watched Annalise pick up the flowers which were made to match real flowers. These flowers would not go to waste because they could be placed on his father’s grave.
