One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 190: Her dream

I paused changing my tone to a light one to also change the atmosphere which seems to have been shrouded in silence since I took the microphone from Luke.

"... who doesn't dream or doesn't even want to experience an exciting proposal from their boyfriend, right?"

And with a smirk, I turned to my best friend who I remembered being dragged off the dance floor by my brother, took her to the parking lot outside the newly opened nightclub in San Francisco, and without a word suddenly put a ring on her finger and that's it! The rest was history.

"Yeah! Go, girl!" Finally, Jack came to her senses as she screamed after glaring at her husband.

"So now you know why I'm here?" Luke asked me as soon as he took the microphone back and I raised an eyebrow.

"Nope," I replied, shaking my head to which he just chuckled and it took him a few seconds before the laughter completely disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression.

Even the whole surrounding seemed to feel it too and suddenly fell silent again. Perhaps they were waiting for whatever Luke would do or say next at that moment.

"Sam, I know I surprised you last time, and maybe you were also disappointed because I just asked it randomly over our dinner and I understand you. To be honest, I was a little ashamed of myself when I heard those things you wanted to happen because as a man and at this age I didn't even think about it. Which I should have known better because not only did we know each other but we've also been married for four years."

"So that night I decided not to go to the Philippines and asked Caleb to help my team instead. Because that night, after I sent you home and on my way back to the condo, I realized you were right. With all the things I've done to you and all the things that have happened between us, why can't I give you the simple thing you've been dreaming about for so long... that's because I was a total asshole back then I didn't give it to you."
