Female Novel
Chapter 29
At that moment, Pierre’s eyes widened in shock when he recalled the wedding ring that Niall hadprepared for him. Oh jeez! I nearly forgot about the ring! I was supposed to grant Juniper’s birthdaywish by proposing to her mother, but it slipped my mind ever since her abduction. I rememberputting it in my car, but I don’t remember seeing it when I was driving earlier today. No one else hastaken my ride except my boys. Thus, if the ring goes missing, that could only mean… At the thoughtof that, Pierre stood up straight all of a sudden, leaving Juniper in confusion.
“Relax, Mr. Handsome. You seem desperate to propose to Mom. Shh!” Juniper looked back andpeeked at Selena. “Don’t ruin the surprise.”
“Juniper, tell your mom that I need to leave for some urgent business.”
“Alright, Mr. Handsome. Goodbye!”
Pierre then walked out the door and made his way to his car as he began to search high and low forthe ring. Soon, he knew that his memory served him right when he couldn’t find it anywhere in hiscar, including the trunk. One of my boys must have taken the ring. Anyhow, I shouldn’t have toworry too much if it’s now in Joaquin’s hands; but the same cannot be said if it’s with Jameson. Thethought of that prompted Pierre to start the engine and drive toward the Fowler Residence.
Meanwhile, Meredith arrived at the Fowler Residence in a beautiful pink dress with medium-lengthpermed hair. She then sat on the couch and chatted with Helen like sisters. At the same time, Johnhappened to enter the house from outside, responding with a nod as soon as he saw Meredith.Deep down, he couldn’t have asked for more from Meredith, whom he had treated as his futuredaughter-in-law, since she had already given birth to his grandchildren.
“You’re here, Meredith. Have a seat, please.” Like his son, John was feared and revered in theFowler Family, as their presence had always given off an intimidating vibe. Soon, the living room
was shrouded in oppressive silence, while Meredith and Helen, who were exchanging skincaresecrets, instantly shut their mouths up.
“Where are Jojo and Jamie? Please send for them.” John told his maid. I guess I can’t help missingmy grandsons as I grow older.novelbin
“Right away, Sir.” The maid quickly headed upstairs. Shortly after that, Jameson came running downthe stairs, dashing toward Meredith’s embrace upon seeing her. Nevertheless, the lady appeared tobe irked when the boy crumpled her dress but soon forced a smile when she was reminded of theelderly couple’s presence.
“Do you miss Mommy, Jamie?”
“Mom, I have something important to tell you.” Jameson acted in a mysterious manner.
Since Meredith was not close with the kids, she had no idea what the boy was up to. Therefore, shecould only pretend to be interested. “Oh really? What is it?”
Then, Jameson suddenly broke free from Meredith’s arms, giving the lady an opportunity tosmoothen down her skirt. A few seconds later, the boy was seen kneeling on one knee in front ofMeredith, leaving everyone in shock and bewilderment.
Needless to say, Meredith was among those who were baffled by Jameson’s sudden reaction.Although Jameson was known to be her son, kneeling before someone was beneath him since hewas the Fowler Family’s young master after all. Therefore, she was worried that this could lead tosome misunderstanding between her and John.
“Get up, Jamie! What’re you doing?! Quit messing around!” Meredith quickly tried to carry Jamesonand put him back on his feet, but the boy shook her hand off and said, “Mommy, sit still! Don’tmove!”
At that moment, John’s expression began to darken, while Meredith was frightened by the man’slook until her face turned pale. After all, she was afraid to get on the wrong side of John, knowingthat wouldn’t end well for her. “Get up, Jamie!”
Nonetheless, Jameson stubbornly continued to kneel on his knee as he suddenly took a ring caseout of his pocket. “Mommy, I wanna propose to you!”
“P-Propose to me?”
Jameson’s words made Helen and John stare at each other while confusing Meredith.
“No! No! No! That’s not right. Let me do this again. Mommy, I wanna propose to you on Dad’sbehalf.” Jameson clumsily opened the ring case, revealing the shining diamond ring within it. “Willyou marry me? Will you hold my hand and be my wife for the rest of your…? Ah. Will you marryme?”
At that moment, everyone finally came to understand that Jameson was proposing to Meredith onPierre’s behalf. It was only then that John began to lighten up, while Helen heaved a sigh of relief.“Oh, man! This boy nearly gave me a heart attack!”
In the meantime, Meredith’s eyes brightened up with happiness while staring at the ring. In fact, shehad long known that Pierre had bought a ring. Thus, she cut down her workload to make time forhim to propose to her. Deep down, she had been waiting for Pierre to make his move sodesperately that she kept dreaming about his proposal every night. Although Meredith didn’t expectPierre to propose this way, she was still touched to see their son doing it on his behalf.
“With all your heart, you will treat Jojo and Jamie kindly like a good mother will. In doing so, you willbuy them all the best snacks and toys in the world. Besides, you must also swear to never punishthem when they make a mistake, but instead reason with them with love and care…” While
Jameson’s vow managed to amuse the adults, they all knew that the little boy must have written itall by himself. This boy is such a cheeky one!
“Mommy, will you marry Daddy?” The little boy held the ring up high as if he was really proposing toa girl he was in love with.
Soon, Meredith stuck out her hand while Jameson proceeded to put the ring on her finger.Exhilarated, she immediately wrapped her arms around Jameson and asked, “Is this all your dad’sidea?”
Upon hearing Meredith’s question, Jameson subconsciously avoided her gaze in a guilty manner. Infact, he had only proposed because he was afraid that his father would blame him for stealing thering. After all, he reckoned that the proposal was at the back of Pierre’s mind anyway. Therefore, hewas hoping that he could get away with it, as he was just righting the wrong by carrying out hisfather’s wish.
“Of course! It’s his idea! Are you touched, Mommy?”
“Of course, I am!”
“Oh gosh! This is touching indeed! I can’t believe Pierre can be so creative when it comes toproposing. I guess we’ve all been fooled by his nonchalant exterior. What a way to propose throughhis son! Hooray! This should call for a celebration!” Helen wiped off her tears with a handkerchiefwhile John sipped his tea without saying a single word.
By the time Joaquin came downstairs, everything was coming to an end, so he wasn’t aware ofwhat had happened.
Meanwhile, Pierre was speeding all the way as he finally arrived at the Fowler Residence.
