Chapter 1603

I spun around and saw a video of Ashton dressed in a white suit like a prince from the olden days.

He had a passionate look in his eyes as he continued, “I was very young when I first met you. Little did

I know, that encounter has planted a seed of love for you which then grew into a towering tree rooted

deeply in my heart.

“My life was in black and white, but then your smile filled it with colors and brightened up every dark

moment. I’m not sure if this is a blessing from you or the heavens taking pity on me, but I do know that

there is no escaping this sweet trap of loving you.

“You have me so deeply in love that I see you everywhere I go. In fact, I’m glad humans do not have anovelbin

tail, or it would surely be wagging like crazy whenever I am around you.

“The world is a dark place, but having you around makes it bright as day.

“No one could compare to the place you have in my heart, and I hope you will forgive me for taking the

liberty of proposing to you in such a manner. I did so because you are simply too amazing, and I feared

someone else would steal you from me if I didn’t make my move first. As such, I decided this would be

the best way to show everyone that you belong to me alone.

“Scarlett Stovall, will you marry me and be my lawfully wedded wife from this day forward, for better, for

worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part?”

In the video, Ashton was kneeling on one knee as the camera slowly moved closer to him. He was

holding something blindingly shiny in his hand, and it wasn’t until the camera adjusted its focus that I

realized it was an eighty carat diamond ring.

Our eyes met through the screen, and I couldn’t help but chuckle in response.

A ring was just a materialization of the vows in marriage, and yet Ashton had spent so much money on

it just to prove his love for me. The fact that he even set this whole scenario up just to propose to me

felt so silly that I found it oddly adorable.

Ashton seemed to have anticipated my reaction and looked to the side shyly as if to tell me that it

wasn’t his idea.

Tears rolled down my cheeks, and I couldn’t even tell if I was crying over the grueling journey we went

through to get here or the efforts he put into everything. Perhaps it was a bit of both.

“Letty, will you take my hand in marriage and spend the rest of your life with me?”

Wait… That sounded really close and didn’t seem to be coming from the speakers in front. In fact, it

sounded like it came from behind me…

I quickly spun around at the thought of that, only to space out when my eyes met those of the male

model’s.

I was so caught up with the overwhelming beauty of my surroundings earlier that I didn’t get a good

look at the guy I was walking with. As we gazed into each other’s eyes, I realized an oddly familiar

passion in his. It was the same feeling I had whenever Ashton looked deeply at me.

The man then reached behind his head and undid the straps of his mask, revealing that familiar face

that I knew all too well.

His delicate facial features exuded an air of tenderness and gentleness which formed a huge contrast

to his usual indifferent and estranged appearance. At first glance, one would easily mistake him for an

actual prince from ancient times.

So, the man that I had been walking down the red carpet with was Ashton the whole time!

“May I address you as Mrs. Fuller from now on, milady?” Ashton asked while holding his hand out to

me.

I bit down on my lip and nodded profusely as I said with tears of joy in my eyes, “Of course!”

Ashton flashed me a smile before walking up to me and wrapping an arm around my waist. The next

thing I knew, he was kissing me so deeply and passionately that I found myself going limp from it.

It felt like I was in a dream once again, but this time, it was one that I didn’t want to wake up from.

After what seemed like forever, Ashton slowly let go of me and whispered inches away from my face,

“Will you be as obedient as you are now in the days to come, Mrs. Fuller?”

He was probably the only guy shameless enough to flirt with the whole country watching. “That

depends on your performance!”
