Chapter 131
Nigel held the ring up and passed it to her. “Just take this ring, then. I ordered it especially for you.”
“I can’t. It’s too expensive. I can’t take it! You should keep it for yourself! It might come in handy in the future.” She rejected him with a smile on her face.
“You always do this. I just want to give you the best, but you always reject me. Can you be a little more superficial and money-minded, Anastasia? You should at least enjoy it when people give you expensive stuff.” Nigel gazed at her with a rather exasperated look on his face.
She smiled as she leaned back on the couch. She was surprised to realize that she had been sweating a little. I was probably too nervous when I was on stage. That makes sense since there were so many people in the crowd.
Right then, Nigel’s phone began to ring. He held it up to see that it was a call from his dad. “Hey, Dad.”
“Where are you?” Jonathan’s voice sounded rather stern.
“I’m in one of the private rooms, Dad. Is anything the matter?” he asked.
“A marriage proposal is a huge thing. Shouldn’t you have discussed it with us first?”
“I’m sorry that I made the decision on my own, but I’m sure you guys know how much I like Anastasia,” Nigel replied in a rather apologetic tone.
“We’ll talk about this in the future. Your grandmother’s looking for you now, so you should go to her!” Jonathan ordered.
“Okay,” Nigel replied before turning to Anastasia. “My grandmother is looking for me, Anastasia. Let’s go meet her together. She’ll love you.”
Anastasia didn’t know what to say. I think Nigel doesn’t know that I’ve met his grandmother before. “You go ahead! I need some time to calm down. I was too nervous earlier,” she said with a smile.
“Did I scare you?” Nigel hurried over with a bottle of water. “Here. Have something to drink.” Anastasia twisted the bottle cap open and sipped on her water before urging him to go to Harriet. “Hurry up! Go look for your grandmother!”
“Alright. You can just rest here, and I’ll come back to you in a while, okay?” Nigel opened the door and left after that. Anastasia felt a lot more relieved at once, and she gulped down a few mouthfuls of water before pressing her palm against her cheek. She could still feel it burning a
little. I’m probably still blushing.
Meanwhile, the party outside was still extremely happening. The proposal had hyped everyone up, and everyone was making guesses about Anastasia’s family background. She probably has some impressive family background or connections. Otherwise, the young master of the Manson Family wouldn’t have put so much effort into proposing to her!
“I’ve never heard of the Tillmans, though!” A few of the ladies were chit-chatting among
themselves as they tried to guess Anastasia’s identity.
