Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Julian Forrester Proposes

"You..."

Sienna Everett’s eyes grew hot, her thick eyelashes trembling uncontrollably. Her throat was so choked up she couldn’t speak.

Julian Forrester looked at her with dark, affectionate eyes and chuckled softly. "This ring was ready the day we registered our marriage, but I never managed to put it on you... You were already so resistant just to marry me. If I had made you wear a wedding ring, I was worried you would be even more repulsed and want to leave me even more..."

Sienna immediately shook her head, but stopped halfway. Back then, she had indeed felt that way. A thin layer of moisture washed over her eyes, making them wet and dampening her thick lashes.

Bathed in the moonlight and surrounded by snow, the man knelt on one knee before her. He looked up at her, his jawline sharp and sexy, and his deep, steady voice slowly rang out. "Although we are already married, I didn’t want to skip the proposal. I didn’t want to shortchange you."

His earnest tone, treating her as the most important person in his life, felt as though he wanted to offer everything he could possibly do and lay it all at her feet like a devotion.

Pausing for a moment, Julian spoke in a low voice, filled with an unprecedented reverence: "Sienna, I love you. I’ve had feelings for you since a long, long time ago.

"I’ve always longed to spend the Rest of Life with you as your lover and your family, walking together to the end of time."

A mist of tears had been gathering in Sienna’s eyes since earlier. Now, hearing Julian’s words, her eyes burned hotly. Teardrops clung to her lashes, ready to fall. "Did you start preparing for this proposal since this morning... No, since yesterday when you said you were taking me out to play?"

He gave a slight nod. His eyes remained fixed on her, brimming with deep affection. "Are you willing to wear this ring that’s been waiting for you?"

Sienna’s eyes were slightly red, swimming in a pool of watery light. Even the tip of her nose was pink. Hearing Julian’s question, she nodded immediately. "I am. Of course I am!"

The man took her hand, his expression serious and focused, and slowly slid the ring onto her ring finger. After putting on the ring, he didn’t release her hand right away. The moonlight flowed like water, and the sea of roses swayed gently in the night breeze. Still kneeling on one knee before the girl, he lowered his head and pressed a soft, gentle kiss to the back of her hand...

Sienna quickly pulled Julian to his feet. She was looking at the ring on her hand, happily admiring it from every angle, when she suddenly remembered something. Her eyes widened in horror. "Oh no, you should have warned me in advance! I ate garlic scallops tonight! I smell like garlic!"

Although she had brushed her teeth after eating, her clothes might still carry the scent. Sienna hurriedly lowered her head and sniffed herself all over, trying to see if there was any lingering odor. What kind of proposal involved reeking of garlic?!

Amused by her adorable reaction, Julian let out a muffled laugh. He affectionately pulled her into his arms. "There’s no garlic smell. Our Sienna smells wonderful."

Sienna shot him a look, her fair, soft cheeks puffing out slightly. "Then kiss me."

In response, the man gave her a lingering, burning kiss...

After returning to their room, Sienna stared at the ring on her hand with fascination for a while. Then, she grabbed a change of clothes and scurried into the bathroom to take a quick shower; otherwise, she’d still feel like she smelled of garlic. When she came out of the shower, smelling fragrant and soft, she affectionately snuggled into Julian’s arms.

They chatted for a bit before Julian’s phone suddenly rang. He had nothing to hide from Sienna, so he picked up the phone and answered it right there. Sitting next to him, Sienna didn’t intentionally eavesdrop. She had no idea what the person on the other end was saying, but she saw his brow furrow slightly before smoothing out a moment later.

Hanging up, Julian set his phone aside and pulled Sienna onto his lap. With one arm around her waist, he used his other hand to gently pinch her earlobe. "Sienna, have you ever considered that you might be related to the Prescott Family?"
