Chapter 1577


    "So, I''ve gottae clean about something. Today, ric caught me proposing to Emmeline at the diner, got the wrong end of the stick, and was all


    but ready to throw down right there. I had no choice but to spill the beans about us not actually being married."


    Spencerid it all out for her to grasp the whole story.


    That exins why ric was in on the truth.


    Turns out, he stumbled upon Spencer popping the question to Emmeline.


    And here he was, ying the knight in shining armor, thinking Spencer was double-dipping. Was she supposed to be grateful for his misced


    chivalry?


    "Oh, no worries, got it." She replied calmly, her mind racing until it hit her, sitting up suddenly, "Wait, back up. You proposed to Emmeline?”


    The news of Spencer and Emmeline''s engagement was like a bombshell to her.


    "Mhm."N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    "And she said yes?" She was on pins and needles, but hopeful.


    "She did," Spencer confirmed


    "Congrats! I''ll definitely be there, toasting to your happiness!" She offered her sincere well-wishes


    She had always felt guilty for holding Spencer back for three years due to her own issues.


    Now Spencer had found someone he genuinely liked and who was willing to take the plunge with him.


    She was genuinely happy for them, feeling a weight lifting off her shoulders.


    Spencer getting hitched was a relief, she hadn''t stood in his way after all.


    The thought of Leopold, who had lost both his youth and his life for love, was a chilling reminder.


    She feared Spencer might end up in a simr tragic tale, which would have been heart-wrenching.


    Thankfully, Spencer wasn''t as obsessive, and it was a relief to see him chasing the right kind of love.


    "Let''s worry about the wedding toastter,” Spencer remarked.


    After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they ended the call.


    Initially retting over ric''s


    unexpected intrusion, now that she


    knew the full story and heard about


    Spencer s uing nuptials, her


    mind-eased, and she drifted off to


    sleep shortly after closing I her eyes.


    The next morning, while she was brushing her teeth at around eight, an urgent doorbell rang


    Toothbrush in mouth and cheeks bulging with foam, she shuffled to the door and swung it open


    Instantly, ghavish bouquet of fiery


    red roses-was thrust into her view;


    monopolizing her sight with their’


    captivating hue, their fragrance


    seeping into her, lifting her Spirits.


    The roses were fresh, their velvety petals still kissed by the morning dew, vibrant and inviting.


    It''s hard fora woman to resist the


    allure of such a magnificent


    bouquet; and she instinctively


    adored it, but her curiosity quickly


    shifted to the man behind the


    flowers.

    ric''s charming face peered from behind the roses, his lips curved in a devilishly handsome smile, his presence enchanting.


    "Good morning," ric greeted.


    There she stood, baffled, foam still at the corners of her mouth, squinting at him, "ric, you been up all night ying Robin Hood with flowers?"


    "Such beautiful eyes, but why use them to spin tales? I bought these, didn’t steal them," ric quipped with a cheeky grin.


    "Why on earth did you buy flowers out of the blue?" She thought he''d lost his marbles.


    "For you, obviously," ric dropped the bombshell.


    "Cough, cough...” She choked on the foam in her mouth from the shock.


    After a fit of coughing, she stared at him incredulously, "What did you say, for me? Are you sure you''ve got the right person?”
