Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 69

Bailey's body tensed slightly as the smile on her face slowly disappeared. “Did you misspoke, Edmund? Or are my ears playing tricks on me?”

Edmund stepped forward and grabbed her arms, staring straight into her eyes. “I didn't, and your ears aren't playing tricks on you. I love you, Bay. I want to marry you. If you think organizing a wedding is too sudden, we can get engaged first.”
