    He was also the man who loved her more than anything else in the world.


    “Baby, my knees are killing me.


    Say yes please.


    ” As he didn’t get a response, Nathan softened his voice and acted like a spoiled child.


    Lucinda couldn’t help but burst intoughter.


    She stretched out her right hand to Nathan.


    “Take your sweet time deciding if you really want to marry me.


    But beware, if you ever betray me in the future, I won’t go easy on you.


    ”


    Nathan responded with a mischievous grin, “Sure, I’ll make sure to keep the washboard and ferule handy, just in case.


    You can punish me with them whenever you please.

    “Wait!” she eximed, her gaze fixated on the green roses beneath the tree.


    “They’re so beautiful.


    We can’t just toss them away.


    Let’s have the bodyguards put them in vases and ce them throughout every room.

    “Alright.

    Nathan leaned down to steal another ki*s.


    Then they walked hand in hand into the vi.


    Intrigued, Lucinda couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked, “Why did you choose green roses? I thought you despised the color green.


    This is the first proposal I’ve seen with green roses.
