Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 588: Proposal 2: Surrendering to You
"You..."
Selena Kensington’s ears were already flushed crimson due to Sterling Norwood’s words.
She was just about to ask Sterling where he learned this sweet talk.
But suddenly she realized there were faint yellow lights surrounding them.
Those lights emerged from the forest.
The forest itself became slightly brighter because of their appearance.
And the lights did not stop there; they flew to Selena and Sterling’s side, toward the middle of the lake.
With their arrival, this space suddenly became bright.
A vast expanse of faint yellow light illuminated the area.
Selena took a close look at the nearest light.
Then she realized these were fireflies.
That so many fireflies were gathered here...
The fireflies flew over the lake, illuminating the lake’s water, faintly reflecting a yellowish ripple.
In the night, the Glimmerwood was indescribably ethereal and beautiful.
Especially those lights, which illuminated the view for both of them.
Selena could see Sterling looking at her at this moment.
Without a hint of eroticism, devout and sacred.
It was as if just now he spoke words like a devoted believer offering his highest vow to his faith.
Selena smiled.
Under the illuminating lights of the fireflies, her smile held a touch of dreamy beauty.
She was about to speak, but suddenly heard a soft ’awoo’ from Awu, who had been beside them all along.
Instinctively, Selena looked towards Awu and saw countless glowing eyes appear in the forest.
Their gazes were fierce and sharp, but Selena felt no threat or murderous intent from them.
Selena was taken aback.
Then she saw countless wild animals coming out of the forest.
Wolves, foxes, squirrels, stoats...
As if to gather all the creatures of the forest.
These creatures were unlikely drawn merely by these fireflies, and the fireflies may have come because...
Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Selena glanced at Sterling.
"Did you summon them?"
Selena asked.
Sterling was The Beast Lord, his blood held that of the Lord of All Beasts.
In this forest, he was the sole king.
The king to whom all creatures of the forest chose to submit.
With just one command, these creatures would come.
"Mmm."
Sterling replied, his tone unclear.
What happened next was beyond Selena’s expectations.
Sterling took her hand, the one with the ring, and knelt on one knee before her.
"..."
Selena paused.
Seeing Sterling’s action, something inside her seemed about to break free.
Her heart suddenly grew tense, and her expression held a hint of daze.
Could Sterling be thinking of...
As Sterling knelt on one knee, those creatures that emerged from the forest reverently lowered their heads.
It was as if they were offering the highest homage to the two by the lake.
They were expressing respect and submission.
In that moment, more fireflies surrounded Selena.
They seemed to be joyfully flying, fluttering happily.
"Creatures worship, submitting to you."
"You are my sole queen."
The man’s handsome, chiseled features shone intermittently in the light, but his deep blue eyes remained bright.
His eyes held countless emotions.
Passion, love, submission, devotion...
Selena was almost unable to resist being captivated by his sapphire-blue galaxy.
He seemed to be saying, he was the faith of these creatures, while she was his faith.
She had already risen to the mountaintop.
Selena’s heart was ablaze because of his words.
She could even clearly feel the pure and intense feelings from the man in front of her.
"Happy birthday, Mrs. Norwood."
"With this ceremony, will you marry me?"
Sterling suddenly said.
His voice was hoarse and alluring, yet his gaze remained focused and devout.
After saying these words, he slightly lowered his head, kissing the Knotweed Flower Ring on Selena’s hand.
In this Glimmerwood, the Knotweed Flower Ring emitted a faint azure glow.
Mysterious and beautiful.
The moment Sterling kissed the ring, Selena’s hand recoiled as if electrified.
Her mind even froze when Sterling mentioned ’marriage proposal.’
What was Sterling saying to her?!
The surprise he prepared was to propose to her?
This was completely unexpected by Selena.
She originally thought Sterling just wanted her to see the Glimmerwood within the forest, yet hadn’t imagined it was to propose to her.
All her limbs and bones seemed to ignite inch by inch because of Sterling’s words just now.
Selena couldn’t see her expression at that moment but felt her face must be burning intensely.
She even dared not look at Sterling’s expression now.
How did she just react?
Her brain froze for a moment, and what she originally planned to say seemed forgotten.
She just stood there in a daze.
Once she realized it, it was sheer urgency and embarrassment.
Previously, her life with Sterling had been calm and their days sweet.
Sterling hadn’t given her a surprise for quite some time.
Yet every time he did surprise her, Selena always reacted significantly.
Like now, she didn’t know how to respond to Sterling.
Should she agree?
Of course, they’ve been married for nearly two years.
Sterling loves her, and she loves Sterling.
But Selena still hadn’t recovered from this massive surprise, not knowing how to open her mouth.
Sterling watched as Selena withdrew her hand from his palm while she stood there in a daze.
He frowned slightly.
"You don’t want to?"
This was Sterling’s best and most unique proposal idea.
Belonging solely to the two of them.
In the Ancient Times, powerful Fell Beasts would express affection to their partners by presenting them before their subordinates, receiving their devout worship.
On one hand, exhibiting the beast’s immense power, and on the other, showcasing its love for the partner and the rights she possesses.
Thus, Sterling did this.
Hearing Sterling’s words, Selena awoke instantly.
She regained her senses.
Seeing Sterling’s slight frown, her previous inner conflict and tension vanished instantly.
She suddenly shook her head.
"Of course not!"
Then, she slightly bit her lip.
Seeming to cheer herself up.
She directly pounced onto Sterling.
Because Sterling was still kneeling before her, Selena’s sudden lunge caught him off guard.
To prevent Selena from getting hurt, Sterling chose not to dodge.
