Chapter 226

Blake’s POV

I watched Laurel’s face pale in the moonlight as my proposal sank in. She swallowed hard before speaking.

‘Blake darling, I don’t want this,” she said, voice barely above a whisper.

Her voice trembled. “Now I’m dying, and I know you probably don’t want to marry me. I just wanted our engagement. Even for that simple wish, you’re using it to please Audrey.”
