Bound To Him - Chapter 147
Tristan had a doting smile as he said, “Yeah, little one.”
Mr. Wesley said, “Blake, I’m agreeing to your relationship, but you have to make sure not to give me a reason to regret it. As I have told Tristan, I am telling you now, my daughters are my most precious jewels, so take care of Sara and never betray her trust.
Blake said, “Thank you, dad. I promise I will take care of Sara, I will never give her any reason to regret loving me. I will tell my parents to meet with you as soon as possible.”
“There’s no need to hurry, they can come when they are free,” Mr.Wesley said. It was getting late, and Mr. and Mrs. Wesley turned in for the night.
Blake hugged Sara and said, “Baby I love you so much, I’m so glad your parents gave us their blessing.”
Ava gave her a hug and said, “Sis, I’m so happy for you.”
“Well, welcome to the family, we are now officially brothers-in-law,” Tristan teased Blake, and he chuckled.
The couples talked for a while before they went home.
Inside their room, Mr. Wesley looked uneasy.
“What happened? Outside you said yes, but now you look like you want to take it back,” Mrs. Wesley asked as she sat next to him.
“I’m concerned for Sara, shouldn’t she be concentrating on her career? Why is she getting married so soon?” Mr. Wesley asked.
“Well, Sara loves Blake, and she wants to settle down,” Mrs. Wesley said.
“But…..,” Mr.Wesley was cut short by his wife.
“Didn’t you get me pregnant so that I would quit my career and spend more time with you?” Mrs. Wesley asked, which shocked Mr. Wesley, he didn’t expect his wife caught onto his plan.
“Don’t worry, I am not blaming you. I understand we were newly married, and I was always traveling for photoshoots. You missed me so badly but didn’t say anything. I had no regrets that I gave up my career because I had two adorable daughters,” Mrs. Wesley said.
Hearing all this touched Mr.Wesley’s heart, “I love you so much, dear.” He kissed her on the lips, and even after so many years, they were still as passionate as before.
After a few minutes, Mrs. Wesley laid on his chest, and Mr. Wesley was patting her head.
“All my daughters have grown up and will leave us,” Mr. Wesley said.
“They will be in the same city, and we will see them as often as we want. One day they will have their own family, and their families will have families, only the husband and wife will be together forever,” Mrs.Wesley.
“Yes, Yes, you are right,” Mr. Wesley agreed and kissed his wife’s forehead.
Sara was very relaxed now that her parents have agreed to their relationship.
Today she was traveling to Maldives for a swimwear catalog photoshoot. After she reached the airport, she had to take a helicopter to get her to the venue.
At the airport, her assistant said that she should change her dress because the person-welcoming her would be the company director, and she should be presentable. Since Sara was in her tracksuit, she changed into the dress her assistant had given her.
Sara wore a white halter full-length gown that was backless. She had fixed her face by putting on some very light makeup, and she let her hair down.
They were landing on a beach and as they got nearer her assistant told her to look down at the beach.
There was a huge sign on the beach made of rose petals, it said, “MARRY ME.” She wondered who they were for.
When the chopper landed, she saw Blake walking to meet her. He was wearing a perfectly white suit that had a red pocket square, it matched her dress. Today he looked more handsome than usual.
Sara got off the chopper, and her happiness was overflowing.
Blake couldn’t stop staring at her, she looked like an angel, wearing her white dress with very simple makeup and the breeze blowing her silky hair. She looked so pure and serene.
“Oh Blake…,” she said as she walked towards him, away from the chopper.
This was supposed to be just a normal photoshoot, she did not expect this to happen. And she was touched because Blake had planned all of this for her.
He smiled sheepishly at her. “Baby, I fell in love with you at the same exact place two years ago,” Blake said.
“What? here?” Sara was confused. They’ve only known each other the last few months, so how could he have fallen in love with her two years ago?
“Sara, don’t you remember their beach?” Blake asked as she shook her head no, “Look around you, two years ago you were here for a photo shoot.
I saw you here for the first time walking on the beach wearing a white dress that looked like what you are wearing right now. I thought you were the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid my eyes on.
A kid was playing on the beach, and you helped and consoled him when he fell. I thought you were a very kind person to take the time to help someone else. Later you smiled at the kid, and I felt my heart skip a beat, it was like you smiled at me and brought me the sun.
I could not muster the courage to talk to you. I never knew how to impress women because I was popular they would just automatically come to me. But you are not just anyone, so I did not want to mess it up. I wanted to plan everything and let things unfold smoothly so that you would agree to go out with me.
I tried to look for you the next day, but the hotel said that you had already left, I didn’t know who you were then, but I saw you in an ad and learned that you were a model, but I still didn’t know how to ask you out.
But now we are here. I’ve never wanted to love anybody as much as I loved you. You are smart, beautiful, and genuine. You are a very incredible woman, and I feel very lucky to cross paths with such a perfect woman,” Blake smiled and kneeled down in front of her,
“I promise to take care of you and fulfill all your wishes. There is just one thing I want to ask of you. Will you marry me and grant me my biggest wish?”
She didn’t know he had been in love with her for so long, he had been patiently waiting all this time. She got emotional because of his sweet proposal, and even though they have been dating only for a short time, she had fallen in love with him and felt that he was the man she wanted to marry.
“Yes Blake, I will marry you in a heartbeat,” Sara said. Blake grinned, and his heartfelt so full.
The ring he chose was a ten-carat marquise-cut solitaire diamond that was surrounded by twenty-eight smaller diamonds. As he placed it onto her ring finger, she noticed that Blake was still kneeling down.
“Blake, you can get up now,” she said, but instead, he took out another box from his pocket and presented it to her.
“What is this?” she asked curiously.
“Open it, and you’ll understand,” he said.
She was totally shocked by what she saw as she opened the box. It was the same type of key chain she got from her fan that has the signature that read, “Your number one fan.”
It was the same fan that sent the I♥U SAR keychains. The A was still missing, and she was wondering when she would receive it, but now Blake was presenting it to her.
“Blake, where… How did you?” Sara was confused.
“Baby, that person who sent you all those gifts was me. I wanted to court you like a regular man, and with Aiden’s help, I was able to achieve that,” he said as he stood up.
“Aiden with his sunny personality suggested I should court you by giving you sweet notes, flowers, and gifts. I was about to personally give you my last letter and reveal myself but there was news that you were dating Joaquin so I was devastated and tried to forget you, but it was not possible because unexpectedly I saw you at Tristan’s wedding and the feelings came rushing back. I couldn’t help myself, so I kissed you.
When I learned that you were in trouble, I thought this was the right opportunity to get you out of my system. But I got to know you, learned that you were innocent, and fell in love all over again.
I never really stopped loving you. As I said, I will always be your number one fan,” Blake said.
Sara’s tears were flowing, she had never imagined Blake could do something so cheesy. He had loved her for a long time, and it touched her heart.
“Blake, I love you a lot,” she said.
“Me too baby, I love you more than words could explain,” Blake said, he can never tire of hearing her say I love you. So they kissed each other passionately for the first time as an engaged couple.
