Chapter 259 - Wrong choice of words... (2/2)

Reuben knitted his brows and kept the phone away from his ear as he said, ”Stop shouting first and tell me what happened.”

”My parents brought me in Wilson Mansion today and they want me to get engaged with her.” Henry said briefly.

”So.. Don't you want to get engaged with her?” Reuben asked quirking his eyebrows up.

Henry shook his head vigorously though Reuben couldn't see him and said, ”That's not the matter bro. Obviously, I want make her my fiance.

No... Wrong choice of words..

I want to make her my wife as soon as possible and want to get married fast. But…”

”But what?” Reuben asked.

”But I'm not sure about Lucy's feelings. What if she is still not ready to get married so soon. I don't want to force her on anything.” Henry said running his fingers through his hair out of frustration.

Reuben smiled at his reply and said, ”How would you know if she is ready or not without asking her about this??”

”What do you mean?” Henry asked confusedly.

”You are big enough to understand what I mean as you are at least not dumb like Louis. I can't tell you everything for your next steps...

You have to decide it on your own too as it's the most important decision of your life..” Reuben stated before hanging up the call.

Henry stood there dumbfounded after hearing Reuben's advice. He then remembered his happy days with Lucinda and decided that whatever her answer might be, he was going to listen to his mind and at least try for once. Rest are completely her decisions and he would respect that.

Taking a deep breath he opened the balcony door and entered Lucinda's room and noticed that Lucinda was looking at him with love filled eyes...

He walked towards her and kneeled in front of her in the floor making her utterly shocked.

Taking her hands in his, Henry kissed it and said, ”Lucy.. You are the love of my life. I don't know what will I do without you...

I can't promise you that I'll not let tears fall from your eyes. But I promise you one thing that those tears will be only because of happiness...

I promise to love you, cherish you from the bottom of my heart. I want to start my day seeing your beautiful face and end my night after making love to you for my whole life.”

Lucinda was already in tears as she didn't know what to say. She just continued staring at him to let him finish his words.

Closing his eyes for few seconds, Henry opened it again and directly looked at her eyes before asking, ”Ms. Lucinda Wilson, Will you marry me?”

Lucinda didn't reply just continued crying.

Henry thought that she didn't want to marry him and got very much panicked so he added hurriedly, ”I know that I don't have any ring right now to give you a proper proposal but trust me….”

Before Henry could continue further with his blabbering, a pair of soft lips smashed on his lips to shut his mouth off...
