"Why build your own house?" Frank said coldly. Emily held her breath. Her hands gripped Cayden tighter. "Dad ..., haven't you agreed with me being with Cayden?" she asked quietly. Frank took a deep breath. "If you don't mind, just live here. This house is quite big, unless you have ten children. Only then will this house feel cramped." Emily widened her eyes. She shifted her gaze repeatedly. Towards Cayden, Louis, and Kara. They all showed the same response. "Does it mean you have approved of us, Dad?" Emily asked in a higher tone. Seeing the twinkle in her eyes, Frank's lips curved slightly. He nodded once. A laughter immediately escaped Emily. "Thank you, Dad. Thank you! You're the best father in the whole world!" Emily jumped to hug Frank. Frank greeted her with a small smile and closed eyes. His heart felt so warm. "You're welcome, Princess. But remember, you still have to know the boundaries. Don't break any rules, understand?" "Yes," Emily nodded quickly. While
Cayden raised the corners of his lips, and nodded. "Yes, Sir. I understand. For me, Emily is also a very precious woman. I will protect her, and make her happy. I will always be there for her." Frank nodded stiffly. "Good. Please keep your words. Don't forget any single of them." "Ready, Sir." "Now where's your notebook? You brought it, right?" Cayden took out a small book and a pen from his jacket pocket. "I brought it." "Good. From now on, take note of all the important points I say." Cayden nodded. He was curious about what Frank wanted to explain. However, when he heard the things Emily liked, his smile grew bigger. Even without being asked, he would take notes enthusiastically. *** After she left Louis' office, Emily immediately walked towards the elevator. She couldn't wait to go home, check what her lover had done when he was with Frank. Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, a guard stopped her. "Sorry, Miss Harper. There's a package for you. I put it on your
Emily and Cayden had been busy for the past few days. Moreover, the day of the photo shoot finally arrived. The results successfully rocked social media. Cayden and Louis were dashing and handsome in every picture. They were popular not only among women, but also among men. The products they advertised sold out on the first day. It pushed the production team to increase their targets. With such a busy agenda, Emily didn't have time to relax. Moreover, she insisted on helping Cayden start his business. Emily only had spare time two weeks later. One of the things she did to relax was to contact her little friend. "Aunt Emily, it's been a long time since you called. I thought you had forgotten me. How are you? You look a little thinner. Was it because you had too much work? But you are more relaxed now, right? The proof is, you can call us. You should have more rest, Auntie. And don't forget to eat. You've made a lot of money from selling clothes. Emily couldn't help but chuckl
"Does my opinion matter? It won't make Cayden or Louis win. By the way, Cayden, I heard that today you will be moving into the Savior office?" Sky forced a smile. She hoped the others wouldn't realize she was trying to change the topic. Cayden nodded. "Yes, the Harpers didn't want to let me fight alone. After considering it, I finally decided to join them in the Savior." "Congratulations, Uncle Cay! You're finally in the same office with Auntie. I hope you two can focus on working, not dating." Sky quickly elbowed her daughter. "Summer, remember your age. You're still too young to say that." "What's wrong with it? Why can't children advise the grown-ups? I'm smart, Mama. I know a lot of things that other kids my age don't know." Feeling amused, Emily laughed again. "Okay, we will remember it well. We will focus on work every time we are in the office." Summer put her hands on her hips, and nodded. "Good. Now, how about Auntie and Uncle go back to work? I have to wash my fa
"Were you panicked when I was nowhere to be seen?" Emily whispered before putting on a pitiful look. "Sorry. I didn't mean to panic you. I just wanted to give you this surprise." Emily stretched out her arms. Her gaze circulated around the photo curtain the western rooftop. When her eyes returned to him, Cayden shook his head in amusement. "What is this, Princess? Can you explain?" Emily smiled again. "All this time, you've done a lot for me. You also gave me a lot of things. Flowers, chocolates, attention, beautiful moments, but I've never given you anything. Because of that ...." Emily looked down. Her hands gripped the box tighter. "I want to thank you. I don't want to just receive. I want to give too." Cayden took a deep breath. His body still tensed, but he didn't want to show it. "Who said you never gave me anything? I have received a lot from you, Princess. Love, attention, sincerity, warmth, happiness. Your family even gave me help and support. All of that can't be
As soon as the car stopped, Emily's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Cay, didn't you say you wanted to take me out for dinner? Why did you take me to the library?" Seeing the confusion on Emily's face, Cayden smiled faintly. "This is not just a library, Princess, but also an art gallery, museum, and botanical garden." "Okay. Then?" "I think it would be a shame if we just had dinner. Wouldn't it be better if we went on a date too?" The wrinkles on Emily's face began to unravel. While smiling in amusement, she narrowed her eyes. "Where exactly do you want to take me to? This place is big. Is it the library? The museum? But they must be closed right now." "You know that there are several types of gardens in this place, right?" Emily's eyes widened. "Do you want to take me for a walk in the botanical garden? At this time? The sun has set, Cay. It must be dark there. Look." Emily pointed out the window. "There were no other people besides us. No park
"Thank you, My Prince," Emily hugged Cayden more tightly. Her smile was bright, her laugh was warm. Tears almost fell from her eyes. "You make me feel very lucky. I'm so happy to have a boyfriend like you. Don't ever change, hmm? Keep being the sweet and caring Cayden like this," Emily whispered before closing her eyes. Cayden rubbed her head gently, his eyes closed too. Occasionally, he inhaled the aroma of her shampoo. "I will always make you happy, Princess. I will give you lots of surprises, attention, affection ..., fulfill whatever you want. And whatever you like, I will get it for you." Emily met his eyes, diving into his brown beads. No matter how long she stared, no fakery could be detected. "I love you very much, Cay. Very, very much," she whispered sincerely. "So do I," Cayden stroked her soft cheek. After planting a sweet kiss on it and her lips, he glanced at the table. "Shall we eat now? I just promised to always fulfill your wishes. It would be a sin for me
Emily bit her lip and nodded slightly. Her tear fell, but she quickly wiped it away. "Yes! I want to marry you, Cayden Evans." A relieved laugh escaped Cayden. He put the ring on her finger. Finding that it fitted perfectly, he stood up and hugged her tightly. "Thank you for accepting me, Princess," Cayden whispered before planting a kiss on her temple. "Thank you for proposing to me, My Prince. Tonight is truly the best night, the most beautiful night of my entire life. I never expected a surprise as sweet as this." Cayden cupped Emily's cheek. He wanted to keep her beautiful expression in his memory. Then, he promised himself. He would paint it again as often as possible. "I love you so much, Emily. You deserve all my attention and the best things in the world." He kissed her forehead. Emily laughed softly. Then, after staring at each other for a few moments, their lips pressed together. It was then did people come out of their hiding places while clapping hands.
