Chapter 123: Sudden Proposal

Iris slowly opened it and was shocked when she saw a beautiful ring inside the box.

"A ring?"

"Hmm, do you like it?" Xavier tilted his head to see her expression.

Looking at the ring in her hand, Iris was at a loss for words. She wasn’t the type of woman who liked wearing jewelry and didn’t understand much about it. However, looking at the white gold ring with a tiny pink diamond stone, she knew that this ring was stunning.

’Why did he give me this ring?’ She wondered while examining the ring closely. Her eyes fell on the small letters engraved inside the ring circle.

’XD... What does it mean?’

Just as Iris was about to ask Xavier the meaning of the letters, she realized that it was his initials. Suddenly, she realized something.

Iris slowly turns her gaze at Xavier with a confused expression. And when their eyes met, she heard Xavier say, "You don’t like it?" his voice sounded worried.

"X-Xavier... This ring is really pretty. But why are you giving me this ring?" She narrowed her eyes at Xavier.

When Iris noticed Xavier’s disappointed expression instead of a response, she nervously asked, "I mean... maybe... are you proposing?"

She didn’t want to feel the same way she wrongly accused Gavriel a few days ago when he gave her a ring. She thought he was proposing to her, but that ring turned out to be a space ring.

Now, Xavier had also given her a ring, and his name was engraved inside it. She was sure this time she wasn’t making a mistake. This must be Xavier’s proposal ring.

Her heart raced at the thought of how quickly their relationship was progressing.

Could this really be a proposal? She felt her heart pounding.

’Gosh!! Xavier Darkwood, why are you so sweet?’ she wondered while looking at the ring with gleaming eyes, then at him, excitedly anticipating his answer.

While Iris was lost in her own thoughts, Xavier also felt the same. He was confused.

’Proposing to her?’ Xavier was puzzled. ’Why did she suddenly ask that? I just gave her a souvenir, a ring from Dubai.’ He hadn’t intended to propose to her now. ’Did I give her the wrong ring?’

His mind went back to when he had asked Killian, his personal assistant in Dubai, to buy a beautiful ring for a woman, and Killian had handed him this red box.

Now, he regretted not checking it before giving it to her.

"Oh my goodness! You... you... didn’t!? Ugh, I thought you were proposing to me because you gave me a ring like this. This ring is usually used for proposals." Iris felt like she wanted to teleport from that place; she was so embarrassed facing him right now.

’Wait!? A ring like this?’ Xavier’s suspicions grew. He stopped time and took the ring from Iris’s hand. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was indeed a proposal ring with his initials.

Now, Xavier understood why Iris thought he had proposed to her. He couldn’t help but curse his personal assistant, Killian, who had been responsible for purchasing this ring.

’Killian! You’re the most incompetent man I’ve ever met!’ He pinched his forehead while considering what to do next.

’Should I erase her memories?’ He wondered. But then he shook his head because he couldn’t erase her memories.

After thinking for a few moments, he found only one solution.

A faint smile appeared on Xavier’s face as he turned the ring in Iris’s hand. Then he snapped his fingers once again.

When Iris came to her senses, he said, "Iris Gray, I didn’t ask you to marry me now. But I was hoping you could use this ring to symbolize my commitment to you. And when you feel ready and want to get married, I will marry you immediately!"

Iris was shocked to hear that he had indeed proposed. Her gaze locked on the ring in her hand, an enchanting mixture of emotions swirling within her.

She felt as if a storm of feelings was raging inside her, a whirlpool of shock, happiness, and fear, all converging into one indescribable sensation.

Time seemed to stop, and Iris remained in this whirlpool of emotions until Xavier’s voice gently broke through her reverie.

"Have you accepted my proposal ring, Iris?" Xavier’s words held an air of unwavering confidence, and they acted like a lifeline, pulling Iris back to the present.

She nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with a blooming smile, and then, with her heart dancing in her chest, she spoke softly, "Yes, Xavier... I accept your ring with all my heart."

Xavier smiled at her. He felt this moment was strange as if God were toying with him in various ways to push him into a relationship with this girl.

He remembered how they started dating, forcing them to take their relationship seriously and become a real couple. Now, by a twist of fate, he found himself making a spontaneous proposal to her, which was nearly unthinkable.

Xavier couldn’t deny his affection for Iris, but proposing suddenly, especially after they had just confirmed a serious relationship a few days ago, seemed unusual. He was worried it would burden her, potentially even jeopardizing their relationship. Still, he was grateful that Iris accepted this unexpected change.

The moment his eyes met Iris’ sparkling blue eyes, he melted. Then, as his gaze fell on her perky, inviting lips, he leaned in, drawn to their silent invitation, and gently kissed her warm lips.

When their lips slowly parted, they exchanged smiles, and their eyes locked onto each other.

Their faces were so close that Iris could feel his cool breath brushing against her skin.

"So, are we engaged now?" Xavier asked softly, his finger caressing her lips. His touch sent a surge of excitement through Iris’ body once more.

Iris silently swallowed and nodded, confirming his question. She attempted to speak, but once again, words eluded her. She couldn’t utter a single word.

She still couldn’t believe what had just happened. Xavier Darkwood had proposed to her.
