The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 81- A decision

As Graham remained kneeling on the ground, his heart was pounding erratically like a galloping horse. He might have looked calm on the outside but deep down, he was nervous.

His stomach was twisting with nerves. He was trained to remain calm in all situations, but asking Michelle to be with him forever despite the fact that he would be away most of the time was nerve-racking.

Glancing up at her, his eyes softened. He smiled and said, “I know I’m asking for a lot. It’s not easy to be in a long-distance relationship, especially in marriage. However, I still want to take a chance with you. I’m confident that we can be happy together. Knowing I’ll be coming back home to you all the time will give me a sense of purpose. I want to be with you forever… so, please, say yes.”

Michelle’s heart was beating loudly, she could hear it in her ears. She stared at the ring in Graham’s hand and her stomach fluttered with butterflies.

She wasn’t expecting Graham to propose to her after they had already agreed to get married. Her heart felt warm and she felt giddy… for a moment, she was lost for words, feeling her eyes water with tears.

“I know this is not the romantic setup you were expecting. I’m sure you know by now that I’m not a romantic man. However, for you, I’ll try my best to learn. I’ll be romantic for you… whatever it is that you need, just let me know and I’ll do it for you…

As long as you agree to spend the rest of your life with me, I’ll dedicate myself to making you the happiest woman in the world,” Graham added.

Michelle quickly nodded, snapping out of her trance. She didn’t have to think about it twice. She had fallen for Graham and she had fallen hard. He could ask her to join him on the battlefield and she would gladly follow.

With teary eyes, she looked at him and announced, “Yes. I’ll wait for you… I’ll be your wife. As long as you’re mine and I’m yours, nothing else matters.”

She held out her hand and allowed Graham to slip the ring onto her ring finger. He then stood to his feet and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.

They spent the day chilling and chatting in the park until night fell. It was now time to meet their parents and deliver the news of their engagement.

When they got into the jeep, Michelle took a photo of her ring and sent it to Tessa and Celia. Tessa was on her honeymoon and was away from the phone so it was only Celia who replied.

Celia: [OMG! That’s a big rock! Congrats, hun! I’m so happy for you! When is the wedding?]

Michelle: [Within a month. We are going to discuss it with our parents right now. I’ll let you

know.]

Michelle smiled as she put the phone away. Graham suddenly grabbed her hand with his free hand and laced their fingers. He then placed their locked hands on Michelle’s thigh while his other hand controlled the steering wheel.

He gave her a side glance and said, “This all feels surreal. I never thought we would ever reach this point. Do you love me, Michelle?”

Heat crept up Michelle’s face. She hadn’t directly told him that she loved him and she didn’t know if it was real or maybe her feelings were playing tricks on her. How could she fall so hard within a short period of time? All she knew was that she couldn’t live without him… perhaps that was the start of true love?

She stared at him and asked, “Do I have to say it out loud?”

Graham nodded and answered, “Yes. I want to know. I said it already… I love you. How about you? Do you love me, Michelle?”

Silence befell them. Michelle had been avoiding the L word so as to not give herself hope. But now that Graham was the first to say it, there was no point in denying it.
