Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 118~ Why is it you?

Lora's heart fluttered, butterflies in her stomach going wild.

Tears rolled down her cheeks when she looked into Ryan's eyes. She knew he would propose to her soon, but she had no idea he would do it this way.

When she was in the helicopter, looking down at what Ryan had prepared, she thought she was dreaming.

The effort he had put into the proposal was out of this world. She felt like she was a princess in her own fairytale movie.

"Thank you, Ryan. I really like this surprise," Lora remarked, sniffing away her tears.

Ryan smiled and wiped Lora's tears away before saying, "I'm glad you love it, baby."

The crowd soon joined the couple to congratulate them and wish them well.

Charles Kingsley was the first to hug his grandson. He patted his back and said, "What you've done right here, sonny... this is what a real man does. I'm so proud of you."

Ryan smiled, hugging his grandfather back. He replied, "Thank you, Grandpa. I'm glad you were always there to guide me and make me realise my feelings for Lora. I would have lost her completely if you hadn't been there to pump some sense into me." After pulling away from the hug, Charles glanced at his grandson proudly before replying, "Oh, look at you. Happiness looks good on you."

He then turned to look at Lora with a huge grin on his face, uttering, "I always knew you were meant to be a Kingsley forever! Congratulations on conquering Ryan!"

Lora blushed, giggling as she replied, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The other family and friends came through to hug the couple.

After they were done, it was now Lora's parents' turn.

Lora's eyes watered when she saw her mother. She sniffed and said, "Mom, I said yes without getting your approval. I love Ryan-"

Freya pulled her daughter into her arms. She stroked her back and replied, "Oh, sweetheart. I never wanted to stop you from being with the man you love. I just wanted to make sure you would be safe in his hands... he came to me and we talked. I already gave him my approval and that's why he prepared this proposal for you. He's going to take care of you, Lora."
