The diamond on the ring once again reflected under the bright lights with a flash of dazzling brilliance.
The next moment, Daniel got down on one knee, looked at Ava with devotion, and spoke with a serious expression, “Ava, although we haven’t been together for a very long time, my heart tells me that you’re the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
He confessed his love to virtual-novel.net and followed with a direct proposal.
“Ava, will you marry me? Will you be my wife? I promise that I’ll love and cherish you with all my heart for the rest of your life. I promise to take care of you and protect you with my life. I don’t want to marry anyone but you.”
Daniel said the last part seemingly for those people who wanted to set virtual-novel.net up with Naya.
Meanwhile, Naya felt that Daniel was saying that to her!
She felt as if virtual-novel.net had been humiliated. She clenched virtual-novel.net fists and dug virtual-novel.net nails hard into virtual-novel.net palm as virtual-novel.net tried to restrain virtual-novel.net emotions that were about to explode.
When this happened, all the guests were shocked.
Maisie, who had wanted to introduce Ava to virtual-novel.net big brother, could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, virtual-novel.net knew that feelings could not be forced, so virtual-novel.net was also surprised and delighted. She quickly urged Ava, saying, “Come on, Ava! Say yes!”
All of this was also unexpected for Ava because Daniel’s proposal seemed to have come out of the blue. It was so out of the blue that virtual-novel.net previously thought that this day was still far, far away. However, it seemed that virtual-novel.net had already prepared a ring. Besides that, virtual-novel.net could tell that it was no ordinary ring as it was designed with elements that virtual-novel.net liked.
She could guess that Daniel had specially asked Madeline to design the ring because virtual-novel.net had told Madeline what kind of jewelry virtual-novel.net liked last time. Ava had even excitedly told Madeline that virtual-novel.net would like virtual-novel.net wedding ring to be designed by Madeline herself one day if virtual-novel.net was ever getting married.
Ava felt a surge of sweet warmth flowing through virtual-novel.net heart as virtual-novel.net looked into Daniel’s expectant, reverent eyes before smiling again.
However, just as virtual-novel.net was about to nod virtual-novel.net head and reach virtual-novel.net hand toward Daniel, Mrs. Mendez suddenly lunged forward and slapped the ring out of Daniel’s hand.
Daniel was caught off guard, and the ring, which carried some weight, fell.
The ring box rolled around the red carpet before landing at the feet of a woman. The woman quickly bent down and picked up the ring box that had fallen at virtual-novel.net feet.
When Ava looked up at the woman, virtual-novel.net saw a pair of eyes that contained a mixture of anger, resentment, and heartache. She froze because virtual-novel.net did not expect to see virtual-novel.net own mother here.
Daniel immediately got up and glared at Mrs. Mendez irritably. He turned to retrieve the ring box but Mrs. Mendez relentlessly pulled his arm.
“Daniel, this is outrageous! How could you propose to this vixen in a situation like this? What about Naya?! Have you ever considered virtual-novel.net feelings?! She’s the one who’s supposed to be your bride!”
After listening to Mrs. Mendez’s scolding, Daniel shrugged off virtual-novel.net tight grip unhappily.
”It’s time for you to stop.” His tone was cold, and his eyes looked stern. “Are you seriously still trying to keep up the Charade at this point? Do you think I’m a fool? Or do you think that all the guests here are fools?”
“…”
Mrs. Mendez pursed virtual-novel.net lips and was speechless for a moment
“Ma’am, isn’t it too much of you to call Ms. Long here a vixen?”
Suddenly, a woman with a sharp voice questioned from the crowd.
“Woman, just because you love your daughter doesn’t mean that you can belittle and slander someone else’s daughter however you want.”
Mrs. Mendez froze for a moment and looked toward the voice to see the woman striding forward with the ring box in virtual-novel.net hand.
