Chapter 228


    But why hadn''t she fallen in love with Callum yet? Was it because a past heartbreak had made her


    heart imprable?


    If she didn''t truly love Callum, then epting his proposal would be unfair to him. But what else could


    she give in return for his kindness?


    Natalia didn''t want to deceive Callum, so she spoke her mind.


    Callum was relieved. As long as Natalia hadn''t outright refused, he had a lifetime to wait for her to fall


    in love with him. He pulled the car over to the side. His gaze was so tender and loving. "Natalia, trust


    me, I''ll make you fall in love with me. And even if you don''t, having me love you for the rest of our lives

    is enough."


    Natalia was unsettled by Callum''s intense gaze and could only agree. "Okay, Cal, let''s get engaged.


    But..."


    "Shhh!" Callum ced his finger on Natalia''s lips gently. "No buts, Natalia. All you need to do is agree


    to marry me, and I promise that you''ll never regret it. I''ll love you, care for you, cherish you, and provide


    you with everything I can."


    Who wouldn''t be moved by such words? Especially Natalia, who had been cared for by Callum for


    many years.


    She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She wasn''t heartless; she had always recognized Callum''s silent


    sacrifices for her. If getting engaged was the only way to let go of Magnus, then she couldn''t think of


    anyone else but Callum.


    "Alright, let''s do as you say," Natalia said softly. Her words were quick, but Callum caught them.


    "Natalia, let''s go home and prepare. I can''t wait to see you in a wedding dress," he said, driving off


    towards the castle. He had waited for this day for so long that he had started to doubt whether it would


    evere. Natalia had finally agreed to get engaged to him, which was wonderful news!


    Once back at the castle, Callum got busy preparing for the engagement party. He had been eagerly


    anticipating this day, and now that Natalia had agreed, he had to make sure everything was perfect.

    The morning sun rose gently as Natalia was taken by the maids in the castle to get dressed.


    Today was her engagement day with Callum, and the castle was filled with joy. Everyone wore warm


    smiles, and Natalia couldn''t help but grin.


    The castle was decorated anew, with countless ribbons and balloons hanging in every corner. The floor


    was covered with ayer of white lilies. For a moment, Natalia thought she had stepped into a fairy tale.


    Callum, the man of the hour, was nervously checking himself in the mirror. He looked handsome and


    dashing. His suit was cut to perfection, exuding an air of luxury. Yet, his face showed a hint of


    nervousness, as if he was afraid of messing up the carefully nned engagement party.


    Callum adjusted his suit cor, trying to calm himself. It was just an engagement party, he thought, he


    couldn''t afford to be nervous!


    However, the moment Natalia appeared, all his calmness dissipated.


    Today, Natalia was wearing a wedding dress that she had designed. The white ruffled skirt was


    Her slender waist was adorned with dazzling pink crystals, highlighting her stunning figure. Under the


    simple yet elegant veil was Natalia''s slightly bewildered face. She held up her dress delicately as she


    walked towards Callum.


    Even though it was just an engagement party, the wedding dress was essential.


    As soon as Natalia had drawn her wedding dress yesterday, Callum had it made overnight.


    Staring at Natalia, bathed in sunlight, walking towards him, Callum''s heart started pounding.


    This was his Buttercup, the woman he had been waiting on for twenty years, and today she was finally


    bing his wife. She was kind, resilient, elegant, and charming. Every move she made fascinated


    him.


    Callum, full of joy, walked towards Natalia, ready to take her hand, and join her on the stage that had


    been prepared.


    Before he could reach her, the Count of Rowell and his family arrived unannounced.


    Leading the way, Rowell stretched out his arms, making a pose as if to hug Callum, and strode towards


    him. "Oh, today is the engagement day of my favorite little girl. I must extend my sincerest blessings."


    Callum nced at Natalia and noticed that she didn''t object. Callum responded, "Thank you, thank you.


    You can rest in the guest area."


    "Hm, this engagement party is very grand. I am very pleased," Rowell said, nodding his head and


    walking towards the guest area.


    Although he was not pleased with Natalia, considering that she was marrying Callum, Rowell


    generously decided not to hold it against her. After all, just the name Callum could bring Rowell


    unparalleled honor.


    Rowell''s wife followed him with a displeased expression. If it weren''t for the distinguished guests at the


    engagement party, she would have definitely sneered at Natalia.


    Why on earth would Callum marry a in Jane like Natalia? It should have been her precious baby girl!


    Therefore, she had no desire to give Natalia any blessings. On the contrary, she was cursing in her


    heart, wishing that Callum would abandon Natalia sooner rather thanter. That way, her darling


    daughter could take her ce swiftly.


    Meanwhile, Alice, who trailed behind Rowell, had a grim expression throughout the ceremony. She


    watched Natalia, who looked like a princess, with burning jealousy. She wished she could tear off that


    beautiful wedding dress from Natalia''s body.


    Damn this woman. If it hadn''t been for her, Callum would have been marrying Alice today!
