Chapter 876

Very soon, the two of them were tangled up in bed.

Jonah slipped off his robe, and Hailey’s hand slid over his chiseled muscles.

“Wait. We don’t have protection,” she murmured.

Jonah kissed her. “Then let’s not use any.”

She whispered, “Okay.

They would let the night be theirs, unrestrained and wild.

They were young and in love. That night, they indulged in everything youth and passion had to offer, burning through the hours in each other’s arms.

It wasn’t until dawn that they finally collapsed, exhausted.

Jonah held Hailey close in his arms. She was drenched in a delicate sheen of sweat, with a few strands of damp hair sticking to her soft, delicate face.

Gently, Jonah brushed the hair from her cheeks. “Are you tired?”

Hailey lay in his embrace, her ear resting over his heart, listening to the strong and steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

The sound made her feel safe.

“I’m tired,” she mumbled, eyes still closed.

She was so drained that she didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes.

Jonah kissed her forehead tenderly. “Hailey, how about we stay here for a few more days before heading back? It’s our first time in Barombya, after all. Let me take you out and show you around.”

Though they had known each other for so long, they had never really taken a proper trip together to experience a carefree getaway as lovers.

With her eyes still closed, Hailey muttered, “Too tired… maybe later.”

Jonah chuckled softly. “Alright. We’ll head home tomorrow morning, then.”

“Mmm…” Hailey groaned.

“Hailey, once we get back… let’s get married.”

Marriage?

Though he had mentioned it before, Hailey hadn’t expected him to bring it up again so soon.

Just then, she felt something cool slip onto her ring finger. She opened her eyes to see a diamond ring there.

He had put an engagement ring on her.

Her heart skipped a beat. “Where did this come from?”

“I bought it, of course. I’ve had it ready for a long time. I’ve been wanting to put it

on your finger from the moment I got it.”

Hailey’s eyes brimmed with emotion. He had been prepared all along.

Jonah gazed at her with complete devotion Hailey, I should have given you a grand proposal, but I couldn’t wait. Iwas afraid you’d leave me, so Islipped the ring on now. I just want to hold onto you. Let’s get married.” s

“I…”

He cut her off before she could finish. He didn’t want to hear a rejection. His voice trembled with urgency as he said, “Hailey, after we get married, you won’t have to do anything. I’ll do the laundry, cook, clean-everything. s

“I can take care of you, and I can support the family. You’ll still be the Young family’s pampered heiress. However, after the marriage, you!! also be my wife, my Mrs. Pilsner.” s

“Hailey, will you marry me? I want to hear your answer.”

If this had happened before, she would have said yes without hesitation.

She did want to marry him.

But now the snow lotus was in Joanne’s hands, and what she said was true-the one who loved deeper would be the loser.

As she looked at Jonah, tears welled up in Hailey’s eyes and spilled down her cheeks. Through her tears, she choked out, “Yes, Jonah Pilsner, I’ll marry you.”

Jonah wrapped her in his arms, holding her like he’d never let her go. “Hailey, we can finally get married! As soon as we’re back, we’ll do it.”

Hailey hugged him tightly in return and thought, “Jonah… just let tonight be a beautiful dream.”
