Chapter 400
Morning sunlight spilled gently through the curtains, filling the bedroom with a warm golden glow that seemed almost reluctant to disturb the peaceful silence. Becky stirred first, burying her face deeper into the pillow before stretching lazily beneath the duvet. A familiar warmth against her side made her smile before she had even opened her eyes.She didn't need to look.She already knew.When she finally blinked awake, Jared was still asleep beside her, one arm draped loosely across the blanket. Without the perfectly tailored suits and carefully composed expressions he wore so often, he looked younger somehow. More relaxed. More like the man she had fallen in love with than the businessman everyone else admired.She rested her chin on her hand and studied him for a moment."You know," she whispered with a mischievous smile, "you snore."Jared's eyebrows twitched."I do not."She laughed quietly."So you were awake.""I woke up when someone started spreading lies.""They're not lie

The fireworks slowly faded, leaving trails of shimmering light against the night sky before disappearing into the darkness above. Their reflections lingered across the lake for a few quiet moments, broken only by the gentle ripples drifting across the water. Becky remained beside Jared, her hand firmly wrapped around his as though she had no intention of letting go again.Neither of them spoke immediately.They didn't need to.After everything they had shared that evening, the silence felt just as meaningful as any conversation.Becky leaned her head lightly against his shoulder and released a contented sigh."I don't think tonight can get any better."Jared glanced down at her with a smile."I was hoping you'd say that after dessert."She laughed softly and nudged him with her shoulder."So there is more?""There might be."She looked up suspiciously."Should I be worried again?""Not unless you're afraid of chocolate."Her eyes widened with exaggerated excitement."You hid chocolate

Becky stood frozen, her hands trembling around the bouquet as Jared knelt before her beneath the canopy of glowing lights. For a few heartbeats, neither of them spoke. The music drifting across the gardens continued softly in the background, but even that seemed distant compared to the thunder of her heartbeat.She stared at him in complete disbelief."Jared..."His eyes never left hers. There was no trace of nervous laughter now, no teasing smile, only quiet sincerity. He reached into his jacket and carefully removed a small velvet box, though he didn't open it immediately. Instead, he rested it lightly in his palm before taking a slow breath."I know this probably looks like I'm about to ask you a different question," he said, smiling faintly as he noticed the astonishment on her face. "But we're not there yet."A watery laugh escaped Becky before she could stop it."You nearly gave me a heart attack.""I realised that after I knelt."She shook her head, still laughing through tears
Chapter 397
The bouquet rested carefully in Jared's hands as he walked back toward Becky, his pace unhurried. The soft music drifting across the gardens seemed to fade beneath the sound of her heartbeat. She watched him approach through tear-filled eyes, unable to look away.When he finally stopped in front of her, he smiled with the same quiet warmth that had always made her feel safe."These are for you."Becky accepted the bouquet carefully, almost afraid to disturb the perfect arrangement of white roses, baby's breath and pale pink peonies. They were beautiful, but what overwhelmed her most wasn't the flowers themselves.It was the fact that he remembered.Months earlier, during a walk through a flower market, she had casually mentioned that she preferred simple bouquets over extravagant ones because they felt more sincere. She hadn't expected him to remember a conversation that had lasted less than a minute.Her fingers brushed gently across the petals before she looked back up at him."You
Chapter 396
Becky stood motionless, her fingers still resting lightly in Jared's hand as her eyes wandered across the breathtaking scene before her. For several long seconds, she couldn't find a single word to say. Every thought disappeared beneath the quiet weight of disbelief, replaced by the overwhelming realization that everything spread out in front of her had been created for one reason.For her.The gardens stretched across the hillside like a dream brought to life. Thousands of tiny fairy lights shimmered through ancient oak trees, their golden glow reflecting across a small lake that rested peacefully at the centre of the grounds. A wooden pathway wound gracefully over the water, lined on both sides with white roses and delicate candles protected beneath glass lanterns. Beyond the bridge stood an elegant glass pavilion decorated with soft ivory drapes, countless flowers and warm lights that made the entire structure glow against the evening sky.A gentle breeze carried the scent of fresh

The limousine glided silently through the evening streets, its polished black exterior reflecting the warm glow of the city lights as they slipped past. Inside, Becky sat beside Jared with her hands folded neatly in her lap, determined to keep the expression on her face as neutral as possible. She had promised herself that she wouldn't let him win her over so easily, no matter how handsome he looked in the charcoal suit he was wearing or how apologetic he had been earlier that afternoon.She stared out of the tinted window, watching familiar roads slowly disappear behind them before giving him a sideways glance."So," she said at last, raising an eyebrow, "are you finally going to tell me where we're going?"Jared smiled to himself but kept his attention on the road ahead."No."She let out an exaggerated sigh and folded her arms across her chest."I knew you were going to say that.""You asked anyway.""I was hoping you'd changed your mind.""I haven't."Becky narrowed her eyes at hi
