Behind Percival, a procession led by a man named Thomas marched in. Their hands were laden with an array of exquisite gift boxes.

As the boxes were opened, the treasures within were revealed for all to see.

Tens of billions in dazzling jewels.

Luxurious designer gowns.

Priceless vintage wines.

An array of rare and valuable medicinal herbs!

And deeds to properties?

Kala gasped in awe. “Going all out, aren’t we? What in the world is Percival up to?”

“Could it be… A proposal?” Carl suggested, his voice tinged with excitement.

They had all known since yesterday that Percival’s break-up with Vivienne was a playful ruse.

And now, with such a grand display, it seemed certain he was about to pop the question!

“Vivienne, I’ve handpicked all these items just for you,” Percival said, his eyes softening as they met Vivienne’s. He was smiling, his demeanor as warm as the sun’s rays. “You wanted a breakup, and I agreed. But as for chasing after you again, it’s because I love you. This has nothing to do with your mother or the Ellington family. From now on, our relationship is about no one else but us.”

Percival took the box with the property deeds and handed them to Vivienne. “These are the deeds to all my properties, now in your name. I’m not one for pretty words, Vivienne. All I can say is that everything I have is yours.

I will do everything in my power to protect you, to love you. Anything others have, my girl will have too. And what they don’t have, you’ll have even more. From this moment on, you are my everything, the joy I look forward to for the rest of my days. Vivienne, will you marry me?”

Vivienne was utterly petrified.

Was this not just supposed to be a confession?

How did it turn into a marriage proposal?

Marriage?
