Chapter 17
Laurel carefully examined her future daughter-in-law and liked her more and more. She couldn’t help but wonder why her son had been in love with this girl for so many years, and even went as far as telling others that he was ugly just to avoid getting married.
Who knows how much she cherished her son’s face, she couldn’t stand to hear anyone say he wasn’t good-looking in the past.
Zackery’s dad, Leandro Bronner, couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head as he watched his wife, Laurel, about to devour Eloise. “Laurel, let’s go out for a walk and leave the kids some time.”
Reluctantly, Laurel let go of Eloise’s hand. “Elle, I’ll bring Zack in to keep you company.’
Eloise nodded with a smile. She really liked Zackery’s family, they were very warm.
She had been with Leon before, and they had never visited the Brunner family. The people in the Brunner family thought she was not respectable enough, so they kept her out.
Later, in order to prevent her from being wronged, Leon bought an apartment outside and never took her to the Bron- ner family again.
Thinking about the past, Eloise felt a bit dazed.
“Ms. Claire? Eloise saw Zackery leaning against the door, lazily looking at her, a few strands of dark hair falling across his forehead, casting a swaying shadow on his prominent collarbone.”
At that moment, Eloise heard her heart skip a beat. She heard Zackery say to her, “Ms. Claire, would you like to come outside and take a walk with me?”
Eloise nodded.
The two walked side by side in the courtyard of the Bronner’s manor, which was large and situated on a hillside. They walked together, surrounded by silence so profound that they could hear each other’s heartbeat.
Eloise was lost in thought when she stumbled on a pebble under her foot. Zackery immediately pulled her into his arms, looking concerned.
“Are you okay?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
The man’s broad chest was warm, with a unique hormone scent that made Eloise a little confused. She quickly pulled away from Zackery’s embrace, hanging her head, her face slightly red.
Eloise didn’t look up, unaware that Zackery’s face was even redder than hers at that moment.

Chapter 17
“Ms. Claire, can I… call you Elle?”
Eloise was a little surprised, but still didn’t look up.
“Of course, you can.”
As soon as these words fell, it seemed like flowers bloomed in Zackery’s eyes, full of spring colors.
“Elle, would you marry me now?”
Are you willing?
Eloise actually didn’t think about this question.

She agreed to the marriage in the first place just to get away from Leon, including later on. She thought that marrying this person, she could always get a divorce in the future.
Now she doesn’t think that way at all. The Bronner family all respected her, including Zackery. From the moment he first saw her, Zackery never called her by her full name, always referring to her as Ms. Claire.
Eloise could tell from his words and expressions that he was a very nice person. At least better than Leon. If it was a marriage like this, she thought she would be willing to give it a try.
And just now Zackery asked her, “Would you marry me now?” It showed that Zackery respected her wishes. This was one of the few moments in Eloise’s life when she was respected.
She looked up and gazed earnestly at Zackery. “Are you willing to always respect me?”
Zackery paused for a moment, then quickly replied, “Of course.”
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Eloise smiled, her eyes curved like a crescent moon.
Zackery seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
Dong, dong, dong.
The next moment, he heard his beloved girl say to him, “Zackery, I am willing to marry you. But if you treat me bad- ly in the future, I will also leave you at any time.”
Zackery instantly hugged Eloise tightly, his hands shaking uncontrollably.
The two could hear each other’s heartbeat.
A huge joy enveloped Zackery in an instant, and he couldn’t wait to announce to the world that he was getting mar-
ried.
“Thank you, Elle.”
