The next day, Nelly was woken up by Alpha Kilian 's ringing phone.
She opened her eyes to see Alpha Kilian grabbing his phone from the bedside table. “Okay, I understand. I'll be down right away.” Alpha Kilian spoke in a low voice.
Nelly gazed at Alpha Kilian sleepily. When she saw him return to the bed, she asked, “What's wrong?” Alpha Kilian immediately approached her upon noticing that she was awake. “Sorry, did I wake you?” Nelly nodded.
“Why don't you sleep a little longer? I need to head out for a while to meet Dave,” said Alpha Kilian .
Nelly froze momentarily at the mention of Dave. She blinked her eyes as she sobered up and looked at Alpha Kilian . “No, it's okay. I'll get up and find something to eat.”
Alpha Kilian nodded in response. “Okay.”
With that, Nelly got up and headed toward the bathroom.
While washing up, she froze momentarily when she glanced at the diamond ring on her finger.
Yesterday's scene flashed past her mind. Under the starry night sky, each sentence of Alpha Kilian 's seemed to have been ingrained into her brain.
Although there was no over-the-top location or so-called romantic ceremony, to her, last night's proposal was perfect and the most appropriate.
That memory was enough for her to cherish for the rest of her life.
When Nelly thought of that, she gave up on taking off the ring and continued washing up with it on.
A few minutes later, Nelly changed into comfortable clothes before going downstairs. Alpha Kilian had already changed and was on the phone near the window. He wore a black shirt and black pants. It was rare for Nelly to see him in a pure black outfit. The color made his handsomeness pop. Nelly was never one to ogle at others, but when she saw Alpha Kilian , she could not help but thank the Heavens for creating such a handsome man.
This man is simply the best of the best. He's also completely my type. At that moment, Alpha Kilian turned to look at her. “Are you done, Nelly ?” Nelly returned to her senses and nodded. “Yeah, I'm done.”
Alpha Kilian kept his phone in his pocket as he made his way toward her. He noticed the light makeup she had put on and asked, “I see that you're in a good mood today?”
“I guess.”
Alpha Kilian 's lips curled into a smile, and he held her hand. “Let's go.” The duo soon headed out.
It was lively in the living room downstairs.
Nelly and Alpha Kilian only noticed the people there when they arrived. Mike, Luke, Alexia, and Dave were there.
At the couple's appearance, the people in the living room also turned to look at them. In an instant, Alexia and Nelly 's eyes met.
Nelly was surprised to see Alexia smiling the moment the latter met her gaze. Naturally, she returned the smile.
As long as the other party had no ill intentions, Nelly generally would not mind it too much. Alpha Kilian held Nelly 's hand as they continued down the stairs.
Mike could not help but stand up when he saw the couple walking toward them. “Alpha Kilian , do you need to hold her hand while walking down such a small flight of stairs? Why are you showering us with PDA
this early in the morning?”
When they reached the bottom of the steps, Alpha Kilian replied, “I got used to it.” Everyone was rendered speechless.
Too much PDA!
The others were trying hard not to roll their eyes at the couple.
Dave abruptly chuckled before standing up. “All right. It's great that you're used to it. After all, our J is now a changed man!”
Everyone stared at Alpha Kilian in amusement.
The man ignored them and turned to look at Nelly instead. “We're going to discuss a few things, so you go and look for something to eat. I'll see you in a bit.”
“Okay.” Nelly bobbed her head.
Before she left, Alpha Kilian leaned close to her, whispering, “Prepare something tasty for me.”
The man must have leaned in too close as he had nuzzled Nelly 's hair. She subconsciously reached up to fix her hair before replying, “All right, I got it.”
Just as she was about to leave, Mike suddenly yelled, “Wait!”
Nelly halted in her tracks, her gaze shifting onto Mike, who was behind her. The others also shifted their gazes to Mike.
“What's wrong? You surprised me!” Luke exclaimed.
Instead of replying, Mike was intently staring at Nelly 's hand. His eyes shone brightly in excitement.
Upon seeing that, Luke hurriedly inched close to Mike and muttered, “Mike, Boss will get angry if you keep staring at Nelly like that!”
“What are you talking about?” Mike retorted before asking Nelly , “Nelly , is that a diamond ring on your finger?”
Everyone else immediately shifted their gazes to Nelly 's hand as soon as he said that. There was a sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger.
How did we not notice that?
With that, Alexia's gentle expression turned grim. Dave also stared at the duo.
Nelly held up her hand and glanced at the diamond ring. With a mere grin, she did not make a move to explain anything.
