Chapter 1074 - Planning to keep Penny safe... and a proposal (2/2)

Penny saw that as a great idea. Besides providing a bright future for her child, she can help Ben financially as well. Whenever she is with him, he paid for everything. If she takes over those hotels, it will provide her with a chance to take care of him, but…”I don't know how to run a business or manage hotels.”

”You have hotel managers who are doing day-to-day activities, so you don't need to worry about it.”, Sophia said. ”As for running a business, look around this room and see how many mentors are available. Pick one… or all.”

Emma hugged Penny around her waist. ”Join me as a classmate in attending business-running crash courses. I already spoke with Anna and Sophia and they agreed to pour their business knowledge on me as a preparation for running the rehabilitation center.”

Charlie pried Emma's hands from Penny and made her hug him. ”Did you forget about your fiancé? I am available as well.”

Emma narrowed her eyes at him. ”What fiancé? When will you stop with that?”

Charlie kissed her cheek. ”Why are you fussing? What do you need to accept me as your fiancé?”

Emma pouted. ”How can you be my fiancé without proposing or me accepting? And where is the ring? And… what are you doing?” Her eyes widened when she saw Charlie go down on his knee.

He reached into his pocket as his eyes were locked on Emma's.

”Emma Ronin, you are my angel…”

Emma didn't hear the rest of his words from the sound of her heart thumping violently. She saw that Charlie's lips are moving, and he is holding a black satin jewelry box with a big sparkling diamond ring, and he is on his knee, holding onto her hand, his eyes locked on hers… and she was quite sure that he is proposing.

”…and I hope that you will commit to spending your life with me.”, Charlie ended his speech during which Emma spaced out and looked at her expectantly.

JoAnna giggled at the sight of her non-responsive friend and poked her.

Emma winced and threw a glare at JoAnna. She turned to Charlie and was surprised that he is standing in front of her. He leaned close to her and his breath caressed her ear.

”Say 'yes' …”, he whispered.

Emma inhaled Charlie's masculine scent and held her breath for a second. ”Yes.”

Emma was not sure if she was so lost in his kiss or if she spaced out again, but by the time kiss ended a sparkly diamond ring was on her left ring finger and Charlie looked at her lovingly.

”Thank you for making me the happiest man in the world. I promise not to give you a single reason to regret this.”

Emma smiled and sank into Charlie's embrace.

”I can call you my fiancée now, right?”, Charlie asked Emma after everyone present congratulated them and gave them wishes for a happy future.

Emma looked at Charlie for a second before asking. ”You did that in order to make me stop complaining?”

Charlie laughed and pulled Emma to sit in his lap. ”I did that so that you accept spending the rest of your life with me. Titles are not important to me, but I see that they are important to you… so, yes. I did that in order to make you stop complaining.”

Charlie's eyes flashed mischievously, and he spoke in Emma's ear softly: ”You should see what all I'm prepared to do in order to make you spend your nights in my bed.”

Emma felt her face burning and she quickly glanced around to make sure no one heard that. She wanted to remind Charlie to behave, there are people around! But then she saw him lick his lips slowly while his eyebrow arched suggestively, and she knew that he is telling her that he is thirsty. She buried her face in his neck.

”You will be the end of me.”, she mumbled.

”The beginning, my angel. I am your beginning.”, Charlie corrected Emma and tightened his hug while smile refused to leave his face. He is hugging his fiancée… and she said 'yes' .
