Chapter 571 - The Last Birthday Surprise

At the end of the path is a huge tree with different sizes of lanterns hanging on it. Under the tree were small LED candles scattered to the ground. It was so simple yet so romantic.

The place appeared like an enchanted forest with a huge tree surrounded by dancing fairies. It looked like it came out of a fairytale book.

"Oh my God..." J gasped in astonishment. She is totally speechless and can't help but just let the tears roll down her cheeks.

"Did... you..." She wanted to ask him if he did that and why but she can't seem to make words come out of her throat.

Jacob pulled her under that tree careful not to step on one of the candles. "Hey, Honey, calm down. I want you to listen to me. Okay?" Jacob said as he cupped her face drying her tears with both his thumbs.

J closed her eyes and takes a deep breath to calm down. When her emotions had already settled. She nodded her head and said okay. Not knowing that Jacob's next words will cause her heart in disarray.

"Honey, I know this is kind of late. We already have a marriage contract, wedding bands and are already planning to start a family. But there are a lot of things that we missed that I wanted you to experience and of course, I want you to experience it with me. I want to be the one to give you that experience. I want you to experience dating because I know you haven't been in one. And I want to be the first and the last one to date you."

J smiled because he was right. She hasn't been on a date even once and she doubts if she will ever be on a date with anyone except with Jacob.

"I want you to experience a wedding proposal, and I want to be the only person to give that to you. You don't have any choice." J chuckled but the truth is, she could already feel her heart in her throat.

"I want you to experience wearing a wedding gown. But I guess I just wanted to see you wearing a wedding gown. I want you to experience walking down the aisle while looking at me and I wanted to see you walking down that aisle. I wanted to hear you say 'I Do' and that you accept me as your lawfully wedded husband in front of many people."

This time, J has started to cry again. She never sees herself wearing a wedding gown or walking down an aisle or saying marriage vows in front of many people because she never really plans or dreams of getting married in the first place. But now that the words are coming from Jacob, she wanted to experience them. She wanted to wear a wedding gown for him. She wanted to walk down the aisle if it is him she is going to meet.

She wanted to say 'I do' to him and tell the world that she wanted him to be her husband.

She would only want a wedding if it was Jacob she will be married to.

"What I am meaning to say is, Honey, Let's have a wedding celebration." Jacob kneeled down on one of his knees and pulled out a velvet brocade box out of his coat.

"Will you marry me, again, voluntarily?"

J was overjoyed and overwhelmed to the point that she couldn't figure out what to say or how to react. Jacob's unconventional proposal is so unexpected and it started a waterfall of complex emotions.

Some say that it is normal to be freaked out or terrified after a marriage proposal but J didn't feel that. What's there to be terrified about? They had already experienced and are still experiencing bumps in their marriage.

Having the country's most notorious organized crime group threatening your marriage is probably more terrifying than anyone could think of.

J and Jacob have already prepared themselves for any kind of struggles that their marriage might face in the future.

J is not afraid because she is with Jacob. She is married to Jacob Parker.

So without hesitation, J nodded her head and said "Yes." Her voice was filled with emotions. She didn't say any words because she really couldn't say anything.

But Jacob didn't mind. He stood up and place a red diamond engagement ring on her finger before he wound his arms around J's body. She is crying. She has been crying. Her tears were flowing nonstop and it seems that it is not coming to stop any soon.

"God, I love you so much. Thank you." Jacob whispered on top of her head.
