Chapter 419
“What contract?” Maeve looked puzzled
Zion retrieved a stamped and sealed contract from his pocket. “I’m giving you all this as a gift. It’s now all yours, no strings attached.”
“You”
“It’s already legally approved, so everything here is yours.” Zion knelt and slid the ring onto Maeve’s finger.
The blue sapphire gem complemented her skin as fait and delicate as snow.
Zion landed a light kiss on the gem. “This ring is given the name “loyalty”
He gazed at Marve with his eyes brimming with tenderness and affection. “I, Zion, pledge unwavering loyalty to you, Maeve. I’ll stand by your side for life”
The candle’s flame flickered, casting an ambiguous glow across the cruise,
Maeve blushed. She felt Zion’s hand warm against hers, electrifying and Irresistible.
In the silence of the cabin, the waves crashing against the rocks outside echoed clearly.
After a moment, Maeve spoke up. “Did you forget to ask something?”
Zion frowned as he failed to catch Maeve’s meaning.
*Zion. After going this far, isn’t there something else you want to ask?” Marve stumbled over her words. Despite being reborn, she’d never truly experienced such love.
In her past life with Sergio, she was always the blindly devoted one. She and Sergio had never lived like a normal couple.
However, Zion’s confession now shook her to the core Maeve had always yearned for someone who would love her wholeheartedly.
While Sergio was willing to risk everything for Marve from the Brooks family, Zion had already staked it all for her.
Maeve had no reason to refuse, noc any way to refuse
A smile spread across Zion’s face. His deep voice was magnetic “Marve, will you marry me?”
They were close, and Maeve leaned in to gently kiss Zion’s lips.
Her eyes were

With just one kiss, Zion felt a fire ignite in his belly. He immediately reached out to hold the back of Marve’s neck. Her lips were plump and inviting like ripe cherries, tempting
Zion leaned in n and kissed her deeply. The moment their lips met, Maeve felt herself melting.
Zion held her tightly as if he wanted to fuse her into his very being. The kiss lingered until Maeve was almost breathless, and then Zion released her.
He gently played with Maeve’s long hair and cupped her face. His voice was now husky and dry. “Mavy, wait for me. Wait for the day I bring you home as my wife.”
with her face glowing red, Maeve nodded lightly.
Seeing Maeve’s crimson cheeks, Zion caressed her cheek and lightly kissed her forehead,
At that moment, Maeve’s phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she saw that it was Lyra.
Snapping back to reality, Meeve realized the gravity of today’s events. Assuming Lyra must have been frantic, she answered immediately
Before Maeve could speak, Lyra blurted out, “Mavy, where are you? Charlie and I are coming to pick you up!”
“What’s going on?”
“Isn’t today your birthday? Zee prepared a banquet just for you!”
Lyra’s voice was so loud that even zion could hear her.
