The diamond on the ring once again reflected under the bright lights with a flash of dazzling brilliance.
The next moment, Daniel got down on one knee, looked at Ava with devotion, and spoke with a serious expression, “Ava, although we haven’t been together for a very long time, my heart tells me that you’re the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
He confessed his love to snazzynovel.com and followed with a direct proposal.
“Ava, will you marry me? Will you be my wife? I promise that I’ll love and cherish you with all my heart for the rest of your life. I promise to take care of you and protect you with my life. I don’t want to marry anyone but you.”
Daniel said the last part seemingly for those people who wanted to set snazzynovel.com up with Naya.
Meanwhile, Naya felt that Daniel was saying that to her!
She felt as if snazzynovel.com had been humiliated. She clenched snazzynovel.com fists and dug snazzynovel.com nails hard into snazzynovel.com palm as snazzynovel.com tried to restrain snazzynovel.com emotions that were about to explode.
When this happened, all the guests were shocked.
Maisie, who had wanted to introduce Ava to snazzynovel.com big brother, could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, snazzynovel.com knew that feelings could not be forced, so snazzynovel.com was also surprised and delighted. She quickly urged Ava, saying, “Come on, Ava! Say yes!”
All of this was also unexpected for Ava because Daniel’s proposal seemed to have come out of the blue. It was so out of the blue that snazzynovel.com previously thought that this day was still far, far away. However, it seemed that snazzynovel.com had already prepared a ring. Besides that, snazzynovel.com could tell that it was no ordinary ring as it was designed with elements that snazzynovel.com liked.
She could guess that Daniel had specially asked Madeline to design the ring because snazzynovel.com had told Madeline what kind of jewelry snazzynovel.com liked last time. Ava had even excitedly told Madeline that snazzynovel.com would like snazzynovel.com wedding ring to be designed by Madeline herself one day if snazzynovel.com was ever getting married.
Ava felt a surge of sweet warmth flowing through snazzynovel.com heart as snazzynovel.com looked into Daniel’s expectant, reverent eyes before smiling again.
However, just as snazzynovel.com was about to nod snazzynovel.com head and reach snazzynovel.com hand toward Daniel, Mrs. Mendez suddenly lunged forward and slapped the ring out of Daniel’s hand.
Daniel was caught off guard, and the ring, which carried some weight, fell.
The ring box rolled around the red carpet before landing at the feet of a woman. The woman quickly bent down and picked up the ring box that had fallen at snazzynovel.com feet.
When Ava looked up at the woman, snazzynovel.com saw a pair of eyes that contained a mixture of anger, resentment, and heartache. She froze because snazzynovel.com did not expect to see snazzynovel.com own mother here.
Daniel immediately got up and glared at Mrs. Mendez irritably. He turned to retrieve the ring box but Mrs. Mendez relentlessly pulled his arm.
“Daniel, this is outrageous! How could you propose to this vixen in a situation like this? What about Naya?! Have you ever considered snazzynovel.com feelings?! She’s the one who’s supposed to be your bride!”
After listening to Mrs. Mendez’s scolding, Daniel shrugged off snazzynovel.com tight grip unhappily.
”It’s time for you to stop.” His tone was cold, and his eyes looked stern. “Are you seriously still trying to keep up the Charade at this point? Do you think I’m a fool? Or do you think that all the guests here are fools?”
“…”
Mrs. Mendez pursed snazzynovel.com lips and was speechless for a moment
“Ma’am, isn’t it too much of you to call Ms. Long here a vixen?”
Suddenly, a woman with a sharp voice questioned from the crowd.
“Woman, just because you love your daughter doesn’t mean that you can belittle and slander someone else’s daughter however you want.”
Mrs. Mendez froze for a moment and looked toward the voice to see the woman striding forward with the ring box in snazzynovel.com hand.
