Chapter 193
After several exhausting days, I finally returned to work. On Nathan’s advice, I had taken a short break to rest completely, giving myself the time I desperately needed to recover.
During those days, Nathan and I spent a lot of time together. We cooked meals side by side, watched movies late into the night, and often ended up staying over at each other’s places.
Our bond deepened, growing more intimate with each passing moment I found myself rediscovering a happiness I once thought
was lost forever.
Nathan showered me with love and affection, wrapping me in a warmth that never faded. He made me feel safe, chenshed, and whole again.
Today, I had an important meeting with the owner of a prestigious agency to discuss a collaboration. I wanted to introduce my designs to a wider audience, making my boutique’s name known on an international level
Upon arriving at the boutique, I was greeted by the lively energy of the photo shoot. Models were preparing for the session, and my designs were being carefully arranged for display. Among the crowd. Madame Dupont, an elegant woman with impeccable taste, stood with a graceful smile.
“Sharon, I’m thrilled to be collaborating with your boutique,” she said warmly “I truly believe this partnership will bring your designs. Into the global spotlight“>
I returned her smile. “I’m equally delighted, Madame Dupont, It’s been my dream to share my creations with the world.” She nodded approvingly. “I’ve brought some of my best models for this shoot. I have no doubt this will be a success
With that, we delved into the details of our collaboration while observing the models showcase my gowns. Excitement bubbled within me. This was a significant milestone, and I had a strong feeling it would bring incredible opportunities.
Once the discussions wrapped up, left the boutique and returned home. My assistant was handling most of my office work, leaving me free to focus on more creative pursuits
As I stepped into the apartment, I was met with an unexpected yet beautiful surprise.
Nathan stood by the dining table, his shirt unbuttoned at the top, revealing a glimpse of his toned chest. He flashed me a warm, knowing smile

With unwavering eyes, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small red velvet box. The moment he opened it, revealing a stunning ring that shimmered under the candlelight, my heart pounded wildly.
“Sharon,” he said, his voice soft yet filled with raw emotion. “From the moment I met you, I knew you were special. You have a kind heart, a beautiful soul, and you’ve brought so much happiness into my life.
My lips parted, but no words came out
Nathan took a steady breath. “I want to spend forever with you. I want to be the one who makes you smile every morning, the one you rely on, the one who loves you endlessly. Will you marry me?‘
Tears welled in my eyes as I stared at him, overwhelmed by love, by disbelief, by sheer joy.

The rest of the night felt like a beautiful blur. After dinner, we moved to the couch, curling up together in the quiet glow of the candles. The only sound in the room was the steady rhythm of our heartbeats, intertwined in perfect harmony.

Nathan was quiet for a moment, his hands still resting on my belly as if trying to memorize the sensation. Then, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he lowered his head and pressed his ear against my stomach.i
“Hello, little ones,” he murmured playfully. “Your mom has been worrying about you nonstop. Could you come out soon? Otherwise she’s going to keep pestering me.”
Ilaughed, swatting his shoulder. “Excuse me? Who’s the one constantly fussing over me?”
He smirked. “That’s how it should be. But lately, I think someone’s been relying on me quite a bit.

The will of your children,” he cut in smoothly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “You always say that, Sharon. But honestly, if you need someone to lean on, I’d be more than happy to be that person for you.”
My cheeks burned at his words. He was getting too good at making me flustered.

My eyes widened as my blush deepened “What kind of question is that?“)
Nathan chuckled, clearly enjoying my reaction.
“Damn it” I muttered under my breath. Even after everything we had shared–even after the countless nights wrapped in each other’s arms-he still had the power to make me feel shy.
And yet, as he pulled me into his embrace, pressing a lingering kiss against my forehead, I knew one thing for certain
I was exactly where I was meant to bell
