The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 215

The morning air was still crisp when Ethan stepped out of the hospital's automatic doors with his injured arm tucked in its sling and Rayna by his side.

Melvin had offered to pick him up and drive him to his place, but Ethan had declined his help, saying they had everything under control and Melvin would only get in the way since he would prefer to be alone with Rayna. Ethan's steps were slow and springy as they approached Rayna's car, and the grin on his face was bright enough to rival the sun.

Rayna adjusted the strap of his overnight bag slung over her shoulder and gave him a side glance. "You're walking like you just got out of prison."

Ethan smirked. "Feels like it. Fresh air, freedom, and you. What more could a man ask for?"

Rayna giggled, "You never stop, do you?"

He nudged her gently with his good arm. "Do you want me to?"

"No, I don't," Rayna shook her head, unable to hide her smile.

She walked ahead of him to the car, opening the passenger door and gesturing dramatically. "Your chariot awaits, my lord."

Ethan chuckled. "I should be the one doing this for you," he said with a sigh as he got into the car.

"You will. I assure you that this is temporary. I have no intention of playing the man," she said, and Ethan chuckled as she helped him settle into his seat and fasten his seatbelt.

He let her fuss, his eyes never leaving her face. When she finally finished and pulled back to leave, he stopped her.

"You missed a spot."

She paused, confused. "What spot?"

"My lips""" he replied with a mischievous grin.

Rayna rolled her eyes but leaned in, brushing a soft kiss against his lips before pulling back. "All set?"

"Perfect," Ethan murmured, his voice low and tender.

Rayna giggled as she closed the door and moved around to the driver's side to get into the car.

"So, do you have your stuff in the car?" Ethan asked Rayna since she was moving into his place.

Rayna sighed inwardly, unable to shake off the wistful feeling she was having. As much as she had been looking forward to meeting a man and getting married, she had not really thought about moving out of her house.

And even now, she felt like it was all happening too quickly. She knew that moving in with Ethan now meant that she might never really go back to her place after he recovered because he would want to get married quickly. "Are you okay?" Ethan asked when she didn't respond to his question, and she turned to look at him.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Some of my things are in the trunk," she said, and Ethan watched her, trying to figure out what the problem was.

"Is something bothering you?" He asked, and she shrugged.
