Chapter 1893


    It had be clear that Helen had only wanted Lilith to give birth to a child for the Schaffer family.


    Elliot’s expression darkened and Ben immediately shot a look at his mother.


    "Of course, that is if the worst scenario happens. Naturally, I want Lilith and Ben to cherish one


    another and grow old together. Ben, if Lilith agrees to marry you, you have to treat her well. If you


    dare to mistreat her, your father and I will beat some sense into you even if Elliot doesn’t say


    anything!"


    "I know," Ben said before looking over at Lilith. "Lilith, I know that you are way out of my league, but


    I promise to care for you with all I have once we get married. The reason that I''ve called Elliot along


    today is that I want him to stand witness to my promise as well. If I mistreat you or upset you in the


    future, you can punish me however you want."


    Lilith blushed.


    Despite his age, Ben was not shy to make romantic promises, and Lilith''s heart leaped in joy over


    his words. The frustration she felt after arguing with Elliot instantly faded.


    Noticing the sheepish look on her face, Ben immediately pulled out the ring he had prepared and


    presented it to her while getting on one knee. "Lilith, marry me!"


    Lilith stared at the blinding, enormous diamond on the ring that symbolized Ben''s determination.


    She kept a leveled head earlier when she mentioned that people get married in the heat of a


    moment, and now, she felt herself wavering.


    There was not a woman on earth who was capable of resisting such a temptation.


    After a brief moment of hesitation, she finally said, "Okay."


    Ben immediately took the ring out of the box and put it on Lilith’s middle finger.


    "Do you like it? I asked my colleagues'' help to pick this out. You might not like the style of it so we


    can pick our wedding ringter on ourselves." Ben sat back down on his chair and whispered to


    Lilith.


    "Oh... I like this kind of ring better. Moresting."


    "Whatever you like."


    After lunch, Elliot drove away. His heart wavered at the sight of Ben :c&:ULY; Lilith fawning over one


    another earlier.

    He kept thinking back to the sweet moments he had shared with Avery. During the times when they


    were deeply in love with one another, they were even more affectionate than Ben and Lilith.


    In Starry River Vi, Avery went to pick flowers from the garden and ced them in a vase after


    lunch.


    The screen on her phone lit up, and she took off her gloves to pick up her phone. She saw a photo


    of Lilith''s hand with an enormous diamond ring on it.


    Avery immediately replied.


    [Ben proposed to you?]


    [Yep. He said he invited both my family and his to meet for lunch. I thought it was really just a meal,


    but he proposed to me.


    [Congrattions! It''s a beautiful diamond ring!]


    [I argued with Elliot today. He told me to think it through so that I won''t regret it. His words provoked


    me and I ended up epting Ben''s proposal.]
