Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: The Ring—You Accepted My Proposal?
"Aurelia, from the first time I saw you, I thought, I must make this girl my woman. Aurelia, every time you come close, my heart beats fast. Aurelia, I like you. Aurelia, I’m willing to do anything for you, including risking my life. I would exchange my life for yours."
"Aurelia... marry me."
"Marry me..."
"You can refuse, but I won’t give up. I will keep chasing you, clinging to you, even if you try to drive me away, I won’t leave."
What she once did for him, in this life, he did for her just the same.
"You’ve chased me already," Aurelia Shaw said.
The first time she betrayed him.
The second betrayal.
The proposal and plea at the airport.
He had pursued her many times, so Aurelia Shaw didn’t feel that everything she had once given was in vain.
"Mason Nightshade, you owe me nothing anymore. What I gave you, you’ve returned to me. You’ve even repaid my life. You don’t need to feel guilty or owe me anything." They had long since cleared their debts.
"I don’t owe you, but I’m willing to do these things for you..." Mason’s voice suddenly faded, his gaze fixed on something.
How had he not noticed before, there was a silver ring with no decoration on Aurelia Shaw’s ring finger. The ring seemed a bit strange... Mason suddenly thought of something and abruptly grabbed Aurelia Shaw’s wrist.
Aurelia Shaw was taken aback, "What’s the matter?"
Mason stared at the ring on her finger, turned it around, a brilliant, unique diamond revealed itself.
Mason was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips. He lowered his head and claimed Aurelia Shaw’s lips, his eyes eagerly on her, "You agreed?"
"Agreed to what?" Aurelia Shaw was still somewhat confused.
Mason stared at the ring on her hand, "The ring, you agreed to my proposal?"
Aurelia Shaw paused for a few moments before realizing, the ring... Mason’s proposal ring. She had forgotten to return it at the time and brought it to M Nation. Later on, to fend off Robert’s harassment, she used the ring to shield herself. She hadn’t expected that once she put the ring on, she couldn’t take it off.
"The ring, it won’t come off," Aurelia Shaw frowned, looking rather troubled.
But Mason was full of joy, "Of course, it won’t come off. The ring is custom-made to fit your finger’s size; once you put it on, it can’t come off."
"So that’s why." No wonder she couldn’t take it off, no matter what methods she tried.
"Aurelia, you’re mine now." Mason whispered, his voice unmistakably joyful, his deep gaze locked onto her eyes, as he lowered his head and kissed Aurelia Shaw’s lips.
Mason held Aurelia Shaw, and the two of them fell onto the bed.
Aurelia Shaw was pressed beneath him, feeling the situation changed too fast, she rubbed her temples and said, "This... can the ring come off?"
"It can’t come off," Mason said.
Aurelia Shaw felt her temples throbbing, whose wedding ring is put on by themselves?
She struggled to try again, but the ring felt like it was glued to her finger.
"Oh," Aurelia Shaw sighed softly, "Mason, why is it that when you propose to me, I have to put the ring on myself?"
Mason kissed her lips to comfort her, "Shall I make it up to you with a new proposal?"
"You must make it up to me!" Aurelia Shaw said through clenched teeth.
Still feeling shortchanged, in both past and present lives, she had never been romantically proposed to once.
"Alright, whatever you say, I’ll do," Mason said indulgently, "Baby, Aurelia, my wife... you are mine now..."
