Chapter 419: Love and mistakes (2)

Kate bit her lip to hold back from squealing as Simon placed the ring on her finger. She knew the ball would bring good news and now what she always wanted. Kate couldn't wait to rub this into the faces of those who were talking about her family recently.  Her status was about to soar and she would be surrounded by people who envied her.

'Marchioness Kate,' Kate repeated in her head. Nothing sounded better than the title that would go in front of her first name. She would be owed respect from her peers just from their engagement alone. 'I need to find my mother.'

"You don't have to hold back your excitement," Simon said as he wanted to enjoy her happiness before he would one day destroy it. He was savoring the moment more than Kate. It would be fun to look back on her expression now. He was looking forward to seeing how long she could remain happy.
