219 Return 2 (1/2)

No words could describe the feeling that Sofony felt that time. Or rather, she indeed felt happy, deliriously happy. She didn't know how else to describe the delight that drowned her whole being and brought her to cloud nine.

'Huu...What's with this unexplainable satisfaction? I feel like my heart has just floated out of my body and flown to the air...'

Sofony's mind and its always unwelcomed inhabitant told her to get herself together because she was no longer a dreaming teenager, but a prominent system user part-timing as a business queen.

Someone like her who had long been exposed to the trickeries and dark side of this world should not act like a naive and easily pleased child. She was disgracing herself as an immoral host!

However, who could blame her for reacting like this when the person she had found with difficulty akin to a hell-mode of a dungeon game proposed to her? To make her his fiancee, and later on, his wife?

Sofony laughed in happiness.

Nowhere was the mainly sarcastic or manipulative glint her eyes usually have when snickering. The innocent and sweet radiance they had before the three-years long separation returned, even if it was only for Gio to see.

Her man looked at her expectantly. But she saw no fear from his eyes or expression. He knew and had faith in what she would answer.

But does he really knew? It must be her tears and smiles when they first reunited yesterday. Or her activeness last night when they finally rejoined in both body and soul again. Her blatantly showed longing exposed her real feelings.

Still, she felt too happy to play along that easily.

The words came out of her mouth.

”You can't simply propose to me like that.”

Her lips curled up into a mischievous grin.

”I'm now the number one sought-after bachelorette in our country.”

The man hovered above her with his arms supporting him from the sides. His exposed chest muscles, collarbone, neck, and arms glistening with some seductive red hue on them, courtesy of the red curtain and the lampshade's glow, were sending tickles to her wild imagination.

He tilted his head to the left before directing her a meaningful look. ”Hmm? You mean to say?”

He probably didn't know how graceful and sexy he appeared to her as he did that. Sofony secretly swallowed and heaved a sigh of relief and admiration.

'I sincerely thank the heavens for returning him to me... I promise. To not lose him ever again or give him away to anyone.'

'He's mine... Only mine.'

She felt very grateful and satisfied in her heart.

Yet her mind wanted to be playful just this once.

She repeated and clarified with a cute smug face, ”For your information, I'm now the number one bachelorette. In the whole country. Countless men are asking for my hand every day. You need to get in line if you want to propose!”

She twirled a few strands of her hair then held the strands to tickle his face that had now turned more mature but was still as appealing as ever.
