Chapter 177 The Proposal

Finished

When I woke up the next morning, Caden had prepared a lavish breakfast for me.

“How is it? Do you like it?” Caden asked, pulling out a chair and guiding me to sit down.

As I looked at the beautifully arranged meal in front of me, my heart warmed. ‘Did you make all of this?

“Yeah,” Caden replied lightly. “If you like it, I’ll make it for you every day.”

I looked up into the eyes of the graceful, noble man in front of me, and my heart skipped a beat.

Even someone as high and mighty as Caden has a gentle side.

If I really married him, would I be happy?

“What are you thinking about?” Caden noticed I had spaced out and waved his large hand in front of me.

I snapped back to reality. “Oh, nothing. I was just wondering which of these delicious dishes I should try first.”

“Try the fried egg, the one you like the most,” Caden said, placing a fried egg on my plate. His voice was clear and calm as he added, “Have you thought about my proposal from last night?”

I paused, my fork suspended in mid–air. “Is this your version of proposing to me?”

Caden raised an eyebrow. “You could put it that way.”

“Is this really how you propose? It’s not romantic at all,” I said, feeling a bit at a loss. “And besides, we’ve just met. Talking about marriage now is way too soon.”

Caden’s POV:

Not romantic…

Rosaline was right.

It did seem a bit casual, didn’t it? I guess this was all my fault for lacking experience.

I spent the whole day thinking about those two words, to the point that I even lost focus during a meeting with the company’s executives.
