Chapter 228

But why hadn’t she fallen in love with Callum yet? Was it because a past heartbreak had made her heart impenetrable?

If she didn’t truly love Callum, then accepting his proposal would be unfair to him. But what else could she give in return for his kindness?

Natalia didn’t want to deceive Callum, so she spoke her mind.

Callum was relieved. As long as Natalia hadn’t outright refused, he had a lifetime to wait for her to fall in love with him He pulled the car over to the side. His gaze was so tender and loving “Natalia, trust me, I’ll make you fall in love with me. And even if you don’t, having me love you for the rest of our lives is enough.”

Natalia was unsettled by Callum’s intense gaze and could only agree “Okay, Cal, let’s get engaged.

But…”

“Shhh” Callum placed his finger on Natalia’s lips gently “No buts, Natalia All you need to do is agree to marry me, and I promise that you’ll never regret it. I’ll love you, care for you, cherish you, and provide you with everything I can‘

Who wouldn’t be moved by such words? Especially Natalia, who had been cared for by Callum for many years She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She wasn’t heartless, she had always recognized Callum’s silent sacrifices for her if getting engaged was the only way to let go of Magnus, then she couldn’t think of anyone else but Callum “Ainght, let’s do as you say Natalia said softly. Her words were quick, but Callum caught them “Natalia, let’s go home and prepare I can’t wait to see you in a wedding dress,” he said, driving off towards the castle. He had waited for this day for so long that he had started to doubt whether it would ever come Natalia had finally agreed to get engaged to him, which was wonderful news!

Once back at the castle, Callum got busy preparing for the engagement party. He had been eagerly anticipating this day, and now that Natalia had agreed, he had to make sure everything was perfect The morning sun rose gently as Natalia was taken by the maids in the castle to get dressed.

Today was her engagement day with Callum, and the castle was filled with joy. Everyone wore warm smiles, and Natalia couldn’t help but grin The castle was decorated anew with countless nbbons and balloons hanging in every comer. The floor was covered with a layer of white lilies For a moment, Natalia thought she had stepped into a fairy tale.

Callum, the man of the hour, was nervously checking himself in the mirror. He looked handsome and dashing. His suit was cut to perfection, exuding an air of luxury. Yet, his face showed a hint of nervousness, as if he was afraid of messing up the carefully planned engagement party.

Callum adjusted his suit collar, trying to calm himself it was just an engagement party, he thought, he couldn’t afford to be nervous!

However the moment Natalia appeared, all his calmness dissipated Today, Natalia was wearing a wedding dress that she had designed. The white ruffled skirt was complex and intricate, resembling a beautiful mermaid just out of the water Her slender waist was adorned with dazzling pink crystals, highlighting her stunning figure. Under the simple yet elegant veil was Natalia’s slightly bewildered face She held up her dress delicately as she walked towards Callum.

Even though it was just an engagement party, the wedding dress was essential.

As soon as Natalia had drawn her wedding dress yesterday. Callum had it made overnight.

Staring at Natalia, bathed in sunlight, walking towards him, Callum’s heart started pounding.

This was his Buttercup, the woman he had been waiting on for twenty years, and today she was finally becoming his wife. She was kind, resilient, elegant, and charming Every move she made fascinated him Callum, full of joy, walked towards Natalia, ready to take her hand, and join her on the stage that had been prepared.

Before he could reach her, the Count of Rowell and his family arrived unannounced.

Leading the way. Rowell stretched out his arms, making a pose as if to hug Callum, and strode towards him “Oh, today is the engagement day of my favorite little girl I must extend my sincerest blessings Callum glanced at Natalia and noticed that she didn’t object. Callum responded, “Thank you, thank you.

You can rest in the guest area “Hm, this engagement party is very grand I am very pleased, Rowell said, nodding his head and walking towards the guest area.

Although he was not pleased with Natalia, considering that she was marrying Callum, Rowell generously decided not to hold it against her. After all, just the name Callum could bring Rowell unparalleled honor Rowell’s wife followed him with a displeased expression. If it weren’t for the distinguished guests at the engagement party, she would have definitely sneered at Natalia Why on earth would Callum marry a plain Jane like Natalia? It should have been her precious baby girl!

Therefore, she had no desire to give Natalia any blessings On the contrary, she was cursing in her heart, wishing that Callum would abandon Natalia sooner rather than later. That way, her darling daughter could take her place swiftly Meanwhile, Alice, who trailed behind Rowell, had a grim expression throughout the ceremony. She watched Natalia, who looked like a princess, with burning jealousy She wished she could tear off that beautiful wedding dress from Natalia’s body Damn this woman. If it hadn’t been for her, Callum would have been marrying Alice today!
