BXBX NOVEL Chapter 423 - 426: Engagement Diamond Ring
The man they love, down on one knee, personally putting on the ring that represents marriage for them.
She has been married twice, but before this, she has never been proposed to.
Aidan Lucas picks up the emotional woman.
His large hand holds her, letting her lean softly against him.
The other hand lifts her left hand with the ring on it.
“Do you like this surprise?” He looks down at her, his eyes filled with love.
Lily Gray nods, softly saying, “I like it… I like it a lot…”
Although such a move is not often used in television dramas anymore, she is genuinely moved and happy.
“I’m glad you like it.” A gentle kiss lands on her forehead.
He speaks softly, “Lily, I know our marriage started with an agreement. That beginning must have bothered you.”
Lily Gray wants to say she understands and it does not bother her.
But how can she say such insincere words?
“It’s okay, I know…” Aidan Lucas watches her, his lips curled slightly, “That’s why I prepared this engagement ceremony.”
“Lily, I want you to understand. I, Aidan Lucas, married you, not because of the agreement, but because I love you. You are my Mrs. Lucas, forever.”
He finishes speaking, lifts her left hand, and gently kisses the diamond ring.
Lily Gray’s gaze follows Aidan Lucas’ movements, landing on her left ring finger.
The heart-shaped pink diamond ring.
The huge pink diamond shimmers with a pure luster under the light.
In her mind, she suddenly recalls the news notifications she had seen earlier.
Her eyes widen, and she can’t help but blurt out, “This pink diamond, isn’t this the one that sold at a sky-high price at the Geneva Auction House…”
“Yes,” Aidan Lucas says quietly, “But even the most expensive diamond isn’t enough to show Mrs. Lucas’ place in my heart. I bought this pink diamond as an engagement ring only because it has a name that suits you perfectly.”
“It suits me?”
“Yes… Only Love.”
“Only Love…” Lily Gray can’t help but repeat, “The one and only love?”
“Yes, the one and only love. Lily, no matter what happens between us in the future, remember that you will always be my one and only love.”
Aidan Lucas lowers himself, lifting her chin.
A passionate kiss, gentle and tender, lands on her trembling lips.
Their breaths intertwine.
The sweet cheesecake, intoxicating red wine, her and his taste mingle and ferment between their lips and tongues.
From the restaurant to the bedroom…
Everything flows naturally.
The agreement they made last night about once a week has long been forgotten by both of them at this moment.
Their deep love for each other, like some irresistible force, becomes exceptionally sweet and wonderful this night.
As Lily Gray lies intoxicated beneath Aidan Lucas, she barely hears him whisper in her ear with his deep, magnetic voice.
“Lily, I love you…”

At the same time, Lily Gray’s cell phone in the living room vibrates non-stop.
The screen shows Skye Brown’s name blinking brightly.
“Wiry isn’t she answering the phone?” Skye Brown grumbles as she hangs up.
Dylan Wellington, who’s sitting next to her, cautiously approaches, “Honey, are you really going to tell your sister-in-law about that Lillian Graham?” [Author’s Note] Four more updates are complete. The banquet chapter will officially begin tomorrow- Happy Valentine’s Day, my darlings!
