Following a brief pause, Hanley replied, “…Could you be implying…?”
“Do you not want to be with me either?” interrupted Fabiola as she glared at him.
Doing his best to hide his smile, Hanley replied, “On the contrary, it would be an honor to be given a chance to marry such a fine lady…”
After a brief pause, Fabiola then said, “…Then prepare all the relevant documents by tomorrow. We’re registering our marriage as soon as possible.”
“Very well…”
Fast forward to the next day, Hanley appeared before her as promised, and after showing her the documents, he was prompted to say, “Sure about this, Your Highness?”
Naturally, she wasn’t sure about it at all. She had only said all that last night due to how angry she was, but… Considering what Neal had already done to her, she may as well! With that, she forced a smile before replying, “I never go back against my word.”
Smiling in response, Hanley then held her hand before saying, “Since that’s the case… I’d prefer it if we didn’t skip the necessary ceremonies…”
Before Fabiola could ask what he meant, he headed over to the car’s boot… and barely a few seconds later, he returned with a diamond ring and a bouquet of flowers in hand. Getting to his knee, Hanley then proposed, “I promise to love you with all my heart and do my best as a husband, so… Please take my hand in marriage, Princess Fabiola…”
…With how sincere he was being, Fabiola couldn’t help but feel slightly guilty for not taking things as seriously… And in the end, she extended her hand out of guilt. Watching as he slid the ring into her finger, Fabiola closed her eyes. There was no turning back now…
