Chapter 871

“Marriage?” Hailey’s heart skipped a beat at the thought.

“With whom?” she asked in a daze.

Sure enough, her question earned her a punishment from Jonah he leaned in and bit her on her luscious, red lips.

“Ow!” Hailey winced in pain. “You’re hurting me!”

Jonah stared at her intently. “Good. It should hurt. Ms. Hailey, who exactly do you want to marry?”

“I…” she stammered.

“Besides me, could there possibly be someone else? I’m asking-have you ever thought about marrying me?”

Marrying him?

Hailey felt overwhelmed. It was all so sudden. After all, they had only just

reconciled. But then again, if it hadn’t been for that accident three years ago, they probably would’ve already been married.

“Jonah… are you asking me to marry you?”

Jonah wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

“Yes, I want to marry you. Will you marry me?”

Upon hearing the question, Hailey could feel her heart pounding crazily in her chest.

“Ms. Hailey, please marry me. I had nothing before, but now that I’ve built my own business, I can give you a good life. I didn’t dare to dream you’d marry me in the past. But now, I want to make you my wife!

“These past three years, I’ve thought about you every single day. I’ve missed you so much, I couldn’t sleep. Do you know what it’s like to ache for someone like that? I’ve never felt this way about anyone else. Ms. Hailey… I really, really love you.”

It was a confession.

After three years, under the steamy showerhead, he lowered his voice to a soft, husky whisper-Bella was still around, after all.

His husky voice echoed in her ears, wearing away at her defenses.

He was pouring out the longing he felt in the past three years. He said he loved her very much.

Hailey stared into his burning gaze, so intense that it made her feel like she’d melt.

Jonah gently cupped her cheeks. “Ms. Hailey, will you? Will you marry me?” Hailey could hear the pounding of her heart growing ever louder.

Inside, her heart screamed, “Say yes!”

She nodded. “I will.”

She was willing to marry him and spend her life with him.

Jonah leaned down and kissed her. It was an aching, lingering kiss, his answer to her “yes”.

Hailey threw her arms around his neck, kissing him back with matching passion.

“Let’s get married after we acquire the snow lotus and get your face healed!” she said.

Jonah nodded. “Okay. My face will

be healed. Hailey, I’ll look just likeve

did before the version of me yout loved the most . s

She wanted to tell him that even now, she loved him deeply. It had never been about his face.

Looking at him only made her heart

ache more-it made her want to love She didn’t find him

bim harder. She didn’

unattractive in the slightest. s

But before she could say anything, Jonah kissed her again, causing her to

swallow her words.

In the haze of their kisses, Hailey heard him murmur in her ear, “Hailey, let’s have a baby.”

Bella had been picked up by Celine.

Since Adam was still suffering through waves of intense pain, Celine was swamped with his care.

Meanwhile, Jonah and Hailey set out for Barombya.

Their journey to find the mythical snow lotus that bloomed only

every 50 years had begun get
