"What's so shameless about it? Nico is very sincere to Tara. Everyone in this room can feel his love for Tara. Not all people can have a romantic and touching proposal like this," Anya said, as if implying something.
Aiden looked at her in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind her words.
Anya turned around and looked at the man with a little disappointment. Aiden didn't get her point. But she couldn't ask Aiden outright that she also wanted to be proposed in such a romantic way.
After all, who told her to marry a cold, unromantic CEO like Aiden?
Anya took a deep breath and left the place.
Harris could hear their conversation from beside them. He shook his head when he saw that Aiden really didn't understand the meaning behind Anya's words.
After Anya left, he decided to help his master clear his confusion. "Sir, it looks like the Madame wants to be proposed by you."
Aiden looked at Harris in confusion. "She wanted me to kneel and beg in front of her like Nico did?" He asked shyly.
"A proposal may not be that important for a man, but it's different for a woman. With a proposal, a woman will feel more appreciated and completely loved. The proposal shows that a man genuinely loves his lover and intends to take their relationship further. How about you take this opportunity to propose to her?" Harris suggested.
"I can't do it," Aiden said awkwardly.
"Sir, don't think too much about it. Everything will go smoothly as long as you trust your heart. Let me and Nadine arrange everything," Harris immediately rushed over to his lover and told her everything.
When she heard that Aiden intended to propose to Anya, Nadine was very happy. She looked forward to the time when her cold and haughty uncle would finally have to bend his knees for love.
Aiden scratched his head in confusion.
He felt that it was only natural for Nico to propose to Tara. Nico had always liked something grand. So it wasn't surprising that he would also propose to the woman he loved in an extraordinary way.
But Aiden was different. Without having to propose to Anya in such an exaggerated manner, Aiden could still show his love in a different way.
Without the need for a proposal, Aiden's love for Anya wasn't doubted.
But now Anya suddenly wanted to be proposed after they witnessed Nico's proposal to Tara. Were all pregnant women like this?
Around 10 pm, Raka came home with Raisa. Ivan and Jonathan also returned to their respective homes.
Only Nico and Tara were in Aiden's garden.
Aiden looked at Harris and told him to immediately ask Nico and Tara to come home. He was too shy to propose to Anya in front of many people. If Anya really wanted a proposal, Aiden would do it.
But if possible, the proposal should be done privately, only with the two of them.
"Mr. Nico, it's late. Master and Madame want to rest. You can go home right away," Harris said, urging Nico to leave.
"The sky is so beautiful tonight. We still want to enjoy the night here. If my uncle and aunt are tired, they can rest first. No need to bother with us," Nico said casually.
Seeing that her brother did not want to leave, Nadine immediately helped Harris.
Tara looked at Nadine and Harris who insisted on driving them away and thought about something. Maybe her and Nico's presence here made it difficult for Harris and Nadine to clean the house. She immediately got up and tapped Nico on the shoulder. "Let's go home."
Hearing that Tara wanted to go home, Nico immediately nodded, "If you want to go home, let's go home now."
Nadine and Harris shook their heads at Nico's behavior. It seemed that the only person in this world who could control him was Tara.
Finally, after Nico and Tara came home, Harris asked the servants to change all the decorations in Aiden's house. He put up a flower arch made of iris, Anya's favorite flower.
All the fancy balloons there were immediately removed. The gold and silver balloons symbolized Nico's love for luxury. Meanwhile, Harris used flower decorations that were more elegant and calm for Aiden and Anya.
Anya saw everyone had gone home. Harris and Nadine were helping the servants to clean the garden. So in the end, she chose to return to her room to take a shower and rest.
After Anya finished taking a shower, Aiden still hadn't returned to the room.
She came out to find Aiden, but she found candles lined up and forming a path, as if they wanted to guide her somewhere.
As she walked in her oversized white pajamas with her hair still half wet, she followed the path of the candles.
On the stairs, apart from the candles burning beside her, there were also rose petals scattered in the middle. She had only taken a shower for a while, but her house had become this warm and romantic.
Anya's lips curved into a sweet smile. Did Aiden do all this?
When she went downstairs, Anya was surprised to see that the family room on the first floor had been filled with a sea of flowers. Red roses scattered from the stairs to the garden.
There was no one in the room. Apparently, everyone was gathered at the park.
Every step that Anya took was accompanied by a growing sense of anticipation as well as nervousness.
Earlier, she felt touched and a little jealous when she saw Nico proposed to Tara. In all her life, she had never been proposed by the man she loved. Their wedding was too rushed and held in a very simple way.
She unintentionally said her wish to Aiden. But the man looked confused and didn't understand what she was saying.
Was Aiden really going to propose to her today?
Would that cold and unromantic man really kneel before her and propose to her?
Still, even if Aiden didn't propose to her, their marriage was perfect already. Plus, they were looking forward to the birth of their twins in their little family.
This proposal was only her wish and desire as a woman. But she did not think Aiden would grant her wish.
Anya's footsteps grew faster as she walked towards the garden's door.
Her hand grabbed the knob and opened it with a hopeful heart.
In the garden, Aiden stood on a pile of heart-shaped roses in his neat suit, carrying a bouquet of irises.
Anya was stunned for a moment when she looked at him. "Am I in the wrong place? Isn't the party over?"
"Nico's party is over, but our love story has only just begun." Like a prince, Aiden approached Anya, one step at a time. Then he gave the bouquet of flowers he was holding to her.
An hour ago before all the guests left, Hana came over to Aiden.
She had heard from her son that Aiden intended to propose to Anya, so Hana decided to tell Aiden something.
"Sir, when Anya first lived in this house, she told me about her dream. She said she dreamed that you were carrying a large bouquet of flowers and a ring, kneeling in the garden and proposing to her," said Hana. She still remembered everything Anya had told her. Anya said it was just a dream as a man like Aiden would never do anything like that.
"Looks like she really wanted to be proposed romantically," Aiden said with a serious look. All this time, Anya had never told him about her wish. Aiden too, wasn't sensitive enough to matters like this, so he never realized it.
"At that time, I told Anya that her dream could come true. Even though it's difficult, that doesn't mean it's impossible. What if you made her dream come true tonight?" Hana said with a smile. "Sir, if you propose to her, she will be very happy."
Aiden nodded and whispered to Harris. "Harris, please prepare everything."
An hour later, all of Anya's wishes had come true.
Aiden was standing in a sea of irises, the flower she liked, carrying a bouquet of red roses. The man and the red rose in his hand stood out in the midst of white irises.
"Aiden, are you going to propose to me?" Anya stood where she was, as if she couldn't believe all this. She didn't even dare to take the flower Aiden gave her, for fear that all of this was just a dream.
Aiden didn't answer, but he suddenly knelt in front of Anya and took a ring box from inside his coat's pocket.
"Anya, I'm not good with words. When I saw Nico proposed to Tara today, I laughed at him and found his behavior very embarrassing. I'm not a romantic man, I'm not good at pleasing women. But one thing is for sure, I will make all your dreams come true, even the smallest ones," said Aiden as he opened the ring box he was holding.
Inside the box was a very beautiful diamond ring. It was nothing like the big, gaudy diamond Nico gave Tara. The ring looked cute and tiny, like Anya in Aiden's eyes. His cute and petite little wife...
"Anya, will you marry me?"
"I must be dreaming. I must have fallen asleep and haven't woken up yet," Anya was stiffly silent in her place. She still couldn't believe any of this.
Nadine couldn't help but laugh. She chuckled and said, "Auntie, this is not a dream. Uncle is really proposing to you."
She was not surprised to see Anya's reaction. As a niece, Nadine really understood her uncle, and never had she imagined that Aiden would do something so romantic for a woman.
But it was true that love could overcome everything. Even the solid wall of ice in Aiden's heart could melt because of that.
