Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 458

"Are you always this pushy? You haven't even proposed yet, and you already want to drag me off to city hall!"

Victor smirked. "So, Mrs. Fitzgerald wants a proposal, does she?"

He'd actually been planning the proposal for a while now. He wanted to wait for the Fitzgerald Group's annual board meeting-once all the business dust settled, he'd surprise her.

Seeing her bristling, Victor couldn't resist teasing. "So, what kind of proposal do you want, hmm?"

Isadora turned away, but her eyes betrayed her anticipation.

"I don't want anything," she insisted, a little too quickly.

Victor's lips curled with amusement. "If you really don't want one, then let's just get our marriage license right away."

Isadora shot upright, flustered. "Don't you dare!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Victor's deep, delighted laughter echoed through the hospital room.

Mortified, Isadora called out, "Victor! You're doing this on purpose. I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Victor reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her close to his chest. "Alright, alright, my fault. Don't worry-your proposal, your wedding, you'll have them both. I promise."
