She Is A CEO

Chapter 1205 The End of Happiness

The only sound in the distance was a few bird chirps. Lucia looked down at the delicate square box in her palm, feeling both sour and sweet. She lifted her head to look at Arthur, not paying attention to everyone's shocked expressions of incompetence. With the softest voice she could muster, she asked him, "Arthur, are you sure about me being a divorcee?"

If this were a comic book, everyone around them would have fallen over!

"Lucia! Arthur made today so romantic just for you to say that?!" Eduard was the first to question with despair.

"Lucia... what do you intend?" Esmae spoke up for Arthur.

"Lucia, you don't really want..." Reynolds didn't finish his sentence before Otis covered his mouth.

"I'm sure." The only one who remained calm on site was probably Arthur afterwards. But even though he looked as composed as ever, small beads of sweat were evident on his forehead showing that his heart was also in turmoil!

Lucia bit her lip and took hold of Arthur's hand gently. She whispered, "I know you still care about him which is why we're here right?"

Arthur pursed his lips but did not answer. However, there was an obvious concern and grievance in his eyes.

Yes he cared! That was why he chose this place. He wanted Lucia to know that Jacob had once entered here as her husband but from now on it would be only him -Arthur alone!

Seeing through Arthur's emotions easily, Lucia felt even more bitter inside. She said with heartache, "Arthur, I never did it because I had feelings for him, but rather gave myself a chance to say goodbye. I'll give you just one sentence. From the day I met you, this place, "she pointed at where her heart was located, "has been yours."

The most heartfelt confession in the world could not compare. Lucia finished speaking, and before Arthur could react, Eduard and those busybodies couldn't help but let out excited cheers. But soon Bailey shouted like he discovered something new,All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Arthur, you're blushing?!"

For a moment, the scene fell silent. Everyone stared intently at handsome face of Arthur's. Then, the deliberate whispers began again.

"It's true, his face is red!" Sophie held back laughter. "And ears too!" Helena found another discovery like discovering new land

"I never thought my son would blush," Edwin said with a hint of nostalgia.

Then, Arthur's face turned visibly livid at an alarming rate. Everyone automatically shut their mouths and pretended to look elsewhere.

Lucia smiled even more tenderly and

then did something that left everyone in the room stunned. She opened the square box revealing an exquisitely crafted engagement ring, held it up to Arthur, dropped down on one knee in a heroic pose!

Arthur's face turned livid again.

Lucia... Arthur let out the heaviest sigh of his life.

But Lucia didn't care. She looked up with starry eyes and spoke lovingly from her heart,

"Arthur, our meeting was already the

most mysterious coincidence in this world. I'm glad we have Theodore and Kylee together. I'm happy to have been able to accompany you all this way. So even though today was your idea for all of this, am the one who should be gratef

Lucia's

expression became serious,

"So will you marry me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in Lucia's eyes like little beans at her eye corners - so moving yet so affectionate.

It wasn't until now that Arthur understood what Lucia meant by doing this. His face slowly softened into tenderness along with deep affection.

Bending down, Arthur lifted Lucia off her feet and embraced her tightly while sighing softly,

"I'd be delighted to."

He really wished he could show her how much he loved her from his heart.

Lucia laughed through tears but finally realized she was being shy too. However, when she buried herself into Arthur's arms again, she didn't forget to give a friendly reminder to those who had already become statues beside them,

"This is where applause should come in."

Lucia remained playful as ever while everyone else caught on and burst into thunderous applause accompanied by laughter echoing through the sky.

A gentle breeze swept up lily petals along the gravel path; wind intertwined with petals dancing together just like those two people hugging tightly before the stairs.

Many years passed since then;

children grew up while friends found

their own homes too but whenever Lucia dated bring up that proposal story again before Arthur, he would always embrace her fiercely then carefully ravish every inch of hers once more!
