And now, even Nathan wouldn’t remain the unwavering support she had hoped for in the face of such significant challenges.


    It seemed she could only rely on herself and find a way to turn the tables on her own terms.


    With a sigh of dejection, she lowered her gaze and took her hand off Nathan’s neck.


    Nathan sensed the shift in her emotions.


    The doctor had mentioned that pregnant women often grappled with suspicions and overwhelming thoughts due to their surging hormones, making it difficult to rein in their racing minds.


    They needed constantfort and reassurance.


    Realizing that not responding to her question might not have been the best, Nathan quickly interjected, “Honey, sorry for dodging your question earlier.


    I really didn’t mean it.


    Truth is, I’ve been working on a surprise for you all day long.


    Once I reveal it, I promise I’ll answer your question properly.


    ”


    As the sun began to set, Nathan stood in front of the N&L Fairy Land and gently ced Lucinda on her feet.


    He pulled out a ck silk ribbon and attempted to wear it on her eyes.


    Lucinda stopped him and asked, “What’s going on?”


    With a mysterious smile, Nathan replied in a low, seductive voice, “Just trust me and wear it for a few minutes.


    You’ll find out soon enough.


    I’ve got something special nned.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    ”


    As Lucinda locked eyes with him, she became captivated by the excitement shimmering in his eyes and eventually agreed.


    He immediately tied the ribbon around her beautiful eyes.


    He then took her hand and led her to the garden with utmost care.


    They walked until they reached a tree in the garden, where Nathan finally untied the ribbon.


    “You can open your eyes now, baby.


    ”


    Her eyes slowly fluttered open, and she was instantly enthralled by the scene before her.


    The tree in the garden was adorned with sparkling white Light bulbs, resembling a constetion of stars scattered across the sky.


    Against the backdrop of a reddish sunset, the tree looked remarkably magical and awe-inspiring.


    Beneath the treey nine thousand, nine hundred, and ny-nine green roses, each embellished with a delicate and dazzling pearl at its center.


    Lucinda had never seen so many light green roses in her life, and she couldn’t help but smile in amazement.


    Nathan approached her, gracefully dropped down on one knee, and held her hand with unwavering devotion.


    His eyes were filled with love and affection.


    “Lucinda, we started this rtionship because of our engagement, and we’re now going to get married because of our babies.


    But other women have experienced this proposal part, so it’s only fair that you have the same experience.


    ”


    He looked up and spoke with utmost sincerity andposure.


    “If you’re not a Simmons, and if we have to call off the engagement, I’ll just propose to you again.


    ”


    With Lucinda, the loss of billions or his position of power meant nothing.


    She meant so much more to him.
