Chapter 981


    William put down his fork and knife to fumble around in his pocket.


    Beside him, Sophia blinked and inched closer to whisper into John’s ear. “Could your dad have bought a diamond ring to propose?”


    John stared at William’s action and smiled. “I guess so.”


    On the other hand, Logan’s face was twitching at the sight of the progression of events. I am too thoughtless. I shouldn’t havee for


    dinner! Not only was he mocked by Sophia, he was forced to watch the lovey-dovey scenes of the two couples. What did I do to deserve this?


    Indeed, William took out a brocade box from his pocket. Anyone could tell that it was a ring box with one look.


    Matilda was shocked at the sight of it. At this age, she had not expected to be presented with a ceremony like this.


    The two of them could have discussed the remarriage between themselves in private, and that would have been good enough for her.


    Proposals and diamond rings were not part of her expectations.


    Under everyone’s expectant eyes, William found it hard to go down on one knee to propose. Thus, he could only open the box on the table,


    push it over to Matilda, and stare at her.


    His question was simple too. “Let’s remarry, okay?”


    Logan instantly lifted his hands to shield his face.


    On the other hand, Matilda’s face was blushing from the proposal. Without any fuss, she took the diamond ring and put it onto her finger.


    Frankly speaking, she had a lot of diamond rings, but they were all left behind at Constance Residence after the divorce.

    She bought most of the rings for herself and William had only given her one ring at the start of their marriage. Despite that, she never wore the


    ring he bought. After all, it was a gift from many years ago and was already out of style. Now, she stared at the diamond ring on her finger for


    a moment. Smiling, she gave a reply shorter than his question. “Okay.” Old Mrs. Constance sighed at the proposal. “Girl, you are going to


    me me. If I had not brought it up hastily just now, William might have given you a better proposalter tonight.” Matilda waved her hands


    to show her objection. “You shouldn’t say that. We’re getting older now and there’s really no need for a proposal. Everything’s good as long


    as we share an understanding and have an open talk about it.” At the same time, Sophia took a look at Logan. “Logan, why are you covering


    your face? Is it because you can’t stand watching as a singleton?” Logan slowly lowered his hands and scrambled for an excuse. “It’s not that


    I can’t stand it. I’m simply feeling shy.” Then, Old Mrs. Constance took the chance to turn her focus onto Logan. She stared at him and said,


    “Logan, don’t me me for talking too much.


    You’re not young anymore. I’m doing this because I see you as family. Come, tell me if there’s any girl you’re interested in right now.” In


    response, he hurriedly waved his hands. “Grandma, don’t you know me? I’m wild and free—not the type that fancies being tied down. For


    now, I’m not interested in finding a partner.” As if he was afraid of being mocked by Sophia, he quickly added, “But if I wanted to, it would


    be easy to get someone! Girls are going to line up for me.” What a shameless fellow! He has the guts to say anything at any asion without


    discretion! Sophia thought. Knowing that Logan was trying to joke his way out of the conversation, she sighed. “Your family must be getting


    worried about you, aren’t they? I understand that young people nowadays prefer to enjoy a longer period of freedom, but there are certain


    things that should be done at the right age. Think of it; when you grow older and finally decide to marry a woman who’s in the same age


    range, the two of you will be too old to even think about having children and raising them. You won’t have the energy for that!” Logan forced


    augh and was a little lost at how to continue the conversation around this topic. Seated beside them, Sophia felt likeughing at the sight of


    his embarrassed expression. She waited for a while before chiming in to help Logan. “Grandma, you can’t rush a marriage. Perhaps it’s just


    not time yet. When the right persones along, this matter will be settled in no time.”
