Chapter 986

Jonah had brought Hailey into a high-end jewelry boutique.
“You said yesterday that I’ve never bought you any diamonds or jewelry. Well, today, pick whatever you want. It’s on me,” he said.
Hailey arched an eyebrow as she asked, “Since you’re feeling generous today, I won’t be holding back then.”
Jonah replied, “Just buy whatever you want.”
The sales assistant greeted them with a bright smile. “Good afternoon, sir, miss. How may I help you?”
Hailey pointed toward one of the bracelets and said, “Can I try that bracelet on?”
“Of course, miss. Let me take it out for you.”
As she looked at Jonah, Hailey said quietly, “Mr. Pilsner, that green bracelet looks like a top-grade emerald. I bet it’s worth millions. Are you really okay with me buying that?”
As he glanced at her playful expressions, the corners of his eyes softened with a smile. “As long as you love it, I’d gladly spend my entire fortune on you.”
Hailey smiled.
The sales assistant took the bracelet out of the case.
The emerald green sparkled against Hailey’s slender wrist, making her hand look even more delicate and elegant.
“I’ll take this one!” Hailey said.
Jonah took out his credit card and said, “I’ll pay by card.”
Hailey grinned as she said, “Men who spend money on women really are the coolest.”
“Then, Ms. Hailey, give me more chances to be cool-let’s keep shopping.”
As Hailey turned to glance out the glass display, something sparkled and caught her eye. It was a diamond ring.
Suddenly, Jonah said, “Bring me the biggest diamond ring you’ve got in the store.”
“Yes, sir,” the sales assistant responded.
Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. “Mr. Pilsner, you’re buying a diamond ring?”
Jonah replied, “Yes.”
Why was he buying a ring, and who was it for?
Her heart began to race.
The sales assistant soon returned with a diamond ring. “Sir, here’s the ring.”
Jonah took the ring in one hand and, with the other, gently took hold of Hailey’s fingers.
“Try it on,” he said.
Hailey asked, “Why are you giving me a diamond ring?”
“What do you think?”
Hailey fell silent. He didn’t say it
outright, so how was she supponet
to know what he meant? Cotter
The sparkling diamond ring slipped perfectly onto Hailey’s right ring finger.
The sales assistant said, “Sir, this cut fits her just right.”
Jonah turned to her and asked, “Ms. Hailey, do you like it?”
“Not bad,” Hailey replied.
“Then we’ll take it. Put it on my card,” Jonah said.
“Sure, no problem,” the sales assistant replied.
Hailey moved to slip the ring off, but Jonah held her hand. “Keep it on,” he said.
As she glanced up at him, Jonah continued, “Once the diamond ring is on your finger, you can’t take it off. I want you to wear it for the rest of your life.”
Her long lashes fluttered as she said, “This kind of ring is meant for a married couple.”
Jonah said, “Ms. Hailey, let’s get married.”
Hailey froze. “What did you just say?”
Jonah wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his arms.
“Ms. Hailey, have you ever
thought
In
about marrying me? We already have a baby on the way. Don’t you want our child to be born intoa horne with a mom and dad »
Jonah then repeated, “Let’s get married.”
He wanted her to marry him?
