"So, do I realize that potential now? Do I become a good man for you?" Vernon asked for validation. He wrapped his arms around Chloe's waist and intertwined his fingers around Chloe's belly, making sure to embrace her gently and carefully.
Chloe chuckled, "I will call you a good man once you put a ring on my finger. Coincidentally, I will also call you a good husband by then."
Vernon felt a surge of joy inside his heart.
He wouldn't lie. There was something absolutely mindblowing about finally proposing and marrying his beloved woman, who had occupied his dream for over a decade.
He felt that it was a well-deserved reward for all the hardships he had endured without Chloe by his side for the past ten years. It was like a good ending to a novel full of pain and a great start for a novel full of sweetness.
Vernon chuckled. He kissed Chloe's neck and said, "I'm far more eager than you, Love. I can't wait to have you."
Are you ready for the finale?
