Chapter 343: Will you marry me?
Because the mood was too sweet, Stella didn't want to talk about her problems.
Everyone was just too happy that their white-haired goddess wasn't in a coma for a long time. Girls also believed that Stella woke up in a nick time for Alex's birthday, which would happen soon.
Celia also was elated to see her aunt. She still couldn't forget the first time Stella appeared in her room, wanting to take care of her.
That was a genuine desire, and Celia wanted to help her aunt again! She also would be pampered in this way.
Everyone pampered the little dullahan lately, and she couldn't take enough!
"Help Stella, Alex. We will be waiting outside," Harvey chuckled, leaving the couple alone. The girls followed him, for Stella surely wanted to be with her beloved the most.
Alex picked up some stuff, having a casual talk with Stella.
His girl looked at him silently, then parted her lips, "I felt mother's pain."
"Miss Meiya's pain… It's because of Elias Deathwill, isn't it?" Alex replied, his mind spinning with knowledge about the sins.
Stella nodded, explaining briefly, "Mom has developed too much of her sinful energy. She's on the verge of losing herself. Father wanted to keep her life's intact, but he failed because of the antagonists."
Follow current on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex narrowed his eyes, glancing at the ring on his left finger, "I will try to think of something soon."
"Ok," Stella replied, believing in her beloved, "Thank you…"
"I told you that I would take care of them. And I will, for we are family," Alex smiled, patting Stella's hair before helping her stand up.
She was in a coma for a few days, so her body was stiff. As she held onto him tightly, Alex slowly brought Stella out of her room, going to his father's car.
Inwardly, he thought about a way to Stella's mom.
His marriage ring couldn't help him move between the continents yet, for he used most of its power to cross the worlds.
He needed time and more resources to jump between continents.
Alex wasn't too much worried. Even though Elias Deathwill was a bastard, he knew this man wouldn't let Meiya die soon. Similarly, Meiya Deathwill was also a strong woman, for Alex learned a lot about his wives' mothers through their stories.
He knew this woman wouldn't let herself die, particularly after meeting with Stella.
Stella was surprised that Alex had bought a few houses.
"Bullying?" she asked, looking at Alex with an intense gaze. She thought Alex bought them all because he knew she wanted to be a housewife!
Her job was to take care of houses, wasn't it?
Alex and others burst out laughing, "There's a plan for those houses. You will soon learn about them."
Stella squinted her eyes, reading her beloved's intention. Any woman would think that Alex bought many houses, for he planned to have a big harem.
Was it the case? She wanted to know by reading his eyes.
"Everyone will have a house for each other," Alex explained, "And you will have your rooms in my mansion. It's really simple and nothing significant."
Although he said those words, Alex knew there was a chance of an argument between the girls and other problems. Their harem lives so far were supportive and without any significant arguments.
But as their relationships grew alongside each other, Alex inferred that everyone would need more room for themselves. Besides, Alex surely would get at least one child with his wives.
It would be too tight with all kids and wives in one mansion, wouldn't it?
"Ok," Stella didn't press her beloved too much. The future would tell whether he planned a vast harem from the start.
She knew he was honest and genuinely caring about them all.
"We will pick up your stuff from my parent's house tomorrow," Alex said before guiding Stella to her house. He would spend a few days here, for his girl needed attention and love.
Celia was also with them, taking the role of the guide as she had already gone through everyone's houses.
She wanted to find the best hide-and-seek spots. And with so many houses close to each other, she surely would soon request a big game with everyone, including her grandparents.
Follow current on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex grinned, following the little dullahan, "You will play it with other kids in kindergarten tomorrow, Celia."
"I know, daddy!" Celia jumped in happiness, waving her hand at Alex.
Looking at such cute interaction, Stella whispered, "I feel like I missed years."
"Yes," Alex also whispered, taking Stella into his arms. She held his shoulders, gazing deeply into his eyes, "You can tell how much it hurt me when I realized you wouldn't be by my side, missing all those days."
"I can," Stella replied with a warm smile, feeling her husband's feelings. She couldn't help but cry as she recalled her talk with her mother.
She was lucky to have such a husband.
And Alex surprised her even more, for he put her down, then fished out a small box out of his pocket. He knelt before the white-haired lady, raising his hand with that box resting on his palm.
After opening it, Alex whispered, "Will you marry me?"
A beautiful ring reflected the chandelier's light, shining like Stella's golden eyes, for she lifted her hands to cover her face. Her beautiful melted, tears flooding those hues as she stared at the ring with uncontrollable emotions.
Memories went through Stella's mind like a fast compilation of warm feelings.
"Yes…" she whispered, tears trickling down onto the floor.
Alex stood up with a faint smile, taking her hand, "You were the first one to treat me as the husband. And those days without you told me how deeply I love my lazy Stella.
I am the husband, and you are wives, but that's just because of the system and class. I want us to be in a real marriage from the bottom of my heart.
I love you so much I couldn't wait to bind you to my heart, Stella. I hope you don't mind," Alex grinned, sliding the ring on her finger.
Stella gazed at her hand with her heart beating faster than ever. And when Alex finished his job, she pounced at him like a hungry bird, kissing his lips!
It seemed like the love between them fueled Stella's energy, for she no longer looked like someone who had just left a coma.
