Chapter 278: Proposal (1)

"Desmond," Her eyes widened when she realized that everyone was looking at them in anticipation. Was he about to do what she thought he was about to do?

He held her hand nervously, afraid he would freak out.

"I know what I want now and it is to be able to see your beautiful smile every morning when I wake up, go to sleep with you in my arms and to maneuver my way through fatherhood with you by my side. So, Zaria Williams, will you do me this honor and be my wife?"
