Chapter 805

Brittany's eyes were rimmed with a red so deep it looked like they might bleed.

She had sensed Isaac was up to something special, but she never imagined he was planning a marriage proposal.

Isaac didn't rush her, his eyes brimming with earnest love. For the longest time, he had dreamed of giving her the perfect proposal.

"Are you sure about this?" Brittany asked, aware of the deep yearning Isaac had for a family, mixed with a shadow of fear.

He craved the warmth of a complete family yet feared he might not be able to nurture a marriage successfully. These conflicting emotions had always made him hesitant to take the leap.

"I'm sure," Isaac replied earnestly. "For the past five years, there hasn't been a moment when I haven't regretted not giving you a proposal back then, regretted not offering you the ceremony you deserved sooner, regretted any hardship you faced..."

He couldn't finish his sentence.

Brittany reached out her hand, "Then, I accept.”

Isaac was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Brittany to agree to his proposal so readily.

Brittany couldn't help but smile, "Are you not going to put a ring on me?"

She playfully began to withdraw her hand.

Isaac quickly grasped her hand, his own trembling as he slid the sparkling diamond ring onto her finger. It shone brilliantly, making her slender, pale fingers even more captivating. He bowed his head and gently kissed the back of her hand, his lips warm against her skin, "Bri, from now on, I won't hide anything from you. I won't let you suffer even the slightest

bit."

The mistakes of five years past would not be repeated.

Brittany's eyes welled up as she pulled him to his feet and wrapped her arms around his waist. "I believe you."

She knew Isaac was a man of his word. She also knew he wouldn't let her be hurt again.

Isaac leaned in and captured her lips, their kiss a mixture of passion and promise. "Bri, I love you so much."

Brittany clung to his neck, her response just as fervent.

Suddenly, a group of people descended from the upstairs, their applause and cheers mixing with the crackle of fireworks. Startled, Brittany pushed Isaac away, only to discover it was her closest friends and family.

Among them were Grace, Kari, and the Chester family.

Even William had shown up.

Everyone's eyes gleamed with joy, celebrating the union of two hearts.

"Bri, you and Zac make sure to live happily ever after," Grace said, her eyes misty. After all these years, they had finally made it.

Beside her stood Daniel, whisked back from overseas, clutching a huge bouquet of roses. He thrust the roses into Brittany's arms, his voice clear and sweet, "Mommy, I could be at your and Daddy's wedding now."

What a privilege not every child got to have!

"Can Abby be the flower girl?" Daniel asked, his affection for Abby obvious.

Brittany smiled. "Of course."

The room was filled with warmth and overwhelming joy, leaving Brittany almost dizzy with happiness. She barely remembered how she had chatted with everyone, or how she had seen them out.

All she remembered was twirling with Isaac amid roses and sunflowers, their emotions as tumultuous as the waves in the dark sea, with seagulls circling overhead, their cries punctuating the night. Thankfully, the estate was vast enough to afford them this intimate celebration without disturbance.

Isaac's successful proposal brought a sigh of relief from Grace. That night, she returned

to the Salter Manor with Daniel in tow.

Daniel, refusing to sleep, required Emily's persuasive tactics, which involved the threat of withholding little cupcakes if he didn't settle down. Eventually, he lay down reluctantly. After seeing to Daniel, Emily headed upstairs.

Grace hadn't rested yet. She sat on the balcony with a cold cup of coffee beside her.

"Grace, it's past eleven. Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Emily inquired.

With a contented smile, Grace sighed, "I'm just so happy. After all these years, we've finally made it through."

Reflecting, Grace mused, "When Bri had her troubles five years ago, Zac terrified me. Now that they're finally together, I can rest easy."
