Chapter 527 - 188: Bumping into someone familiar (7)

Ethan Gaze at Morgana's smiling face as he smiled bitterly and don't know what to say

" Ethan? Is there anything wrong? Morgana asks after a long silence as he saw the bitterness in Ethan's smile

" Ah, nothing. My parents are okay and they are missing you. About Julie Ann and the baby, they are gone. The day after you left the hospital with your sister and uncle Armando, Julie Ann and her baby died"

Ethan explained wearing a sad and bitter look on his face

" Oh, I'm so sorry about that. If I had known, I shouldn't have asked" 

Morgana apologized to Ethan after hearing from him that his wife and the baby didn't survive that night

" You don't have to be sorry, it's been years now, besides even if the doctors did everything to save one of them, it still will not work. That night, Julie Ann is already determined to leave this world with the baby

Her brother Jonathan Smith, came to pick up their bodies and bring it back to Chicago, it's Julie Ann's last wish when she called her brother before that day

She wanted to be buried next to the grave of the man she loves, the father of her baby. Julie Ann and I are just like brothers and sisters as we have known each other as she is Jonathan Smith's sister and Daniel Beckham's girlfriend.

Daniel Beckham is one of my men, Jonathan and he is like brothers to me and Jarren. When we went on a mission in Saigon, Daniel was shot by one of the gang leaders that we encounter and died.

We took his body back to Chicago to give him a proper and decent burial with a gun salute that he deserves

Before he took his last breath, he asked me to promise him to take care of his girlfriend who is already pregnant with his baby, because of that I have to marry Julie Ann for the sake of the baby and the promise that I have made to Daniel

Julie Ann didn't want to, even his family and Daniel's family didn't approve of it, but since it is Daniel's last wishes we all have to comply. The marriage is nothing but a piece of paper to assure that the baby will have complete parents.

Unfortunately, because of Julie Ann's condition, as she has a weak body and heart and she has been broken-hearted because of Daniel's death, the baby also suffered from a weak heart and didn't survive as it is a premature baby.

Ethan told Morgana everything, not leaving a single word as he wanted to let Morgana know that even though he married Julie Ann, it is only for the sake of his promise and the only person that he truly loved is only Morgana

Morgana looks at Ethan sadly as she thinks of the time and years that she wasted because of her stupidity. She was jealous for no reasons at all, and all the sufferings and frustration that she went through because of her stupidity is all her fault and she deserves it, as she realized how stupid she is

" Ethan, I'm sorry, I didn't know. I was blinded by jealousy and I purposely try to avoid seeing you again, that is why I didn't come back to New York for a long time.

Everything that happens is all my fault as I don't have complete trust in you. I always thought that you are going to cheat on me, that is why I build a wall around me and try not to fall deeply in love with you. In the end, I only suffered for nothing

" shhhh, sweetheart it's over now. It is my fault too because I didn't explain myself to you. Besides, I was known as a womanizer when you met me and I didn't tell you that I am married before I enter a relationship with you. Because of that, I implicated you and your mother, you almost lose your life because of Late. So, you don't have to blame yourself because it is my fault too

Now that we meet again, I don't want to lose you anymore. We will face all the hardsh.i.p.s together and fight the battle together. I will always stand by your side forever"

With a serious face and tears in his eyes, Ethan held Morgana's hands in between his palm as he promises Morgana to never leave her side and fight the battle together with her

Morgana sobs as she cried spasmodically when she heard Ethan's promise. Ethan stand up from his chair and walked to her side still holding her hands as he put his arms around her and hug her tight not caring a bit of the stare that people are giving them

" Shhhh, I love you so much sweetheart and I promise that we will never part again. Once this mission is over we will come back to Brooklyn and I will ask your parents for their permission to marry you"

As he said that, Ethan took a small box from his chest pocket and kneeled with one knee on the floor as he opened the box and took out a sparkling diamond ring from it as he proposed his love to Morgana to the amus.e.m.e.nt of all the people who gathered

around them

" Morgana, sweetheart I know that I am not a perfect guy for you, I have flaws and have my own shortcomings as I am only human. But I promise to always love and cherish you more than my life, I will never cheat on you as it breaks my heart to see you cry. I will always be faithful and will only love you for the rest of our lives. Morgana, will you marry me?

Morgana lifted her tear-stained face as she looks at the proffered ring and at Ethan's face. Her face reddened as she heard the excitement in the voice of the people who gathered around them urging her to say YES!!!
