Zachary chuckled softly behind Sophia. He walked forward and once again took her hand. "Let''s go. My parents have already prepared all the engagement gifts. We''ll head to Ms. ir''s house next."


    "Zachary, are we really doing this so quickly?" Sophia''s face was still burning. Her eyes were still red from crying, but she no longer felt any emotional burden.


    "Yes. If we don''t move fast, I''m worried you''ll fall back into yourfort zone."


    Zachary spoke calmly. He pulled out his phone and called his parents. "Dad, Mom, Sophia agreed to marry me. We''re heading to Ms. ir''s ce now." "Alright, Zachary. Dad and I are ready. We''re right outside the house."


    She turned to her Edmund. "Darling, I''m about to have a daughter-inw. Aren''t you jealous?" said Luna cheerfully.


    Edmund''s indulgent voice followed. "Honey, remember what you promised. Even with a daughter-inw, you have to put me first. You can''t forget your darling just because you have a daughter-inw."


    Their lively voices were so loud that Sophia could hear them too.


    Zachary gave a faint smile,pletely used to it, and hung up. "My dad''s very worried my mom will forget him once she has a daughter-inw, so he keeps reminding her about their promise."


    "Zachary, is that really how couples interact?"


    "Yes. Natalie''s parents are models of love, and so are Marcus'' parents.


    "You know, Marcus'' mother was sick for many years, and his father never left her side, taking care of her the whole time. Later, she was afraid and wanted to divorce him, and he agreed. But now, they''re back together.


    "Sophia, you see, there are so many sessful examples of couples who love each other for a lifetime. You don''t have to worry. We''ll be one of those sessful couples too."


    Zachary knew exactly what Sophia was afraid of, so he patiently reassured her repeatedly.


    If others could do it, so could they.


    Not all fathers and men were like Ivan.


    Sophia was slowly beginning to ept it. He wanted to lead her down the path of marriage, make her the rightful Mrs. Holt, and protect and love her openly for a lifetime.


    Before, there had been too many restrictions on him because Sky was Sophia''s fiancé. All Zachary could do was silently stay by her side as her psychologist.


    Now, he finally had the opportunity to love the one woman he cherished. There was no way he would miss it.


    "Sophia, don''t worry. Leave everything to me. You just need to follow my lead."


    "Okay." Sophia took a deep breath. Sooner orter, this day had toe anyway. Zachary had apanied her for so many years. She loved and respected him. In that case, they should be together.


    The two of them spoke softly as they returned to the front of the Holt family vi. As soon as Luna saw them, she rushed over, holding a bouquet of flowers. She then ced the bouquet in Sophia''s arms without giving her a chance to refuse.


    "Sophia, take it. It''s a gift from your future mother-inw."


    Sophia hugged the bouquet close. There was a small box tucked in amongst the flowers.


    "Open it and take a look." Edmund stood beside them, smiling kindly and dotingly. "Take a look at how good my honey''s taste is."


    Zachary, unsurprised, picked up the box and opened it. Inside was a ne of pure gold.


    Lunaughed happily. "Son, put it on your wife. Then, we''ll head over and propose marriage!


    "Darling, let''s go! Tell the driver to get the car ready. I can''t wait anymore."


    Luna was so happy that she looked like a little girl. Her lively and cheerful nature was something Sophia didn''t have.


    Zachary put the ne around Sophia''s neck, then took her hand and led her to his car.


    "My mom grew up spoiled in her family, and after marrying my dad, she''s been loved for so many years. That''s why she still has a girlish personality.


    "Sophia, once you''re part of our family, you''ll be like my mom too. Our whole family will spoil you."


    "Thank you." Sophia hugged the bouquet and touched the ne. Being loved like this by a woman who wasn''t rted to her by blood felt wonderfully strange.


    Edmund and Luna rode together in one car, while Zachary and Sophia were in another. On the way over, Sophia called Samantha.


    "Hello, Mom. Zachary''s parents areing over to propose marriage. I''m letting you know in advance so you can be prepared."


    On the other end of the phone, Samantha said, "What? Did I hear that right?"


    "Yes, you heard that right. It''s


    happening." Sophia couldn''t help butugh as she spoke. "Mom, I''m going to marry Zachary m going to be mis Wife. Mr and Mrs. Hoft are already on their way, so get ready.  s


    Samantha was stunned. "This is too fast! I haven''t prepared anything. Can I even prepare things in time?"


    "Ms. ir, don''t worry." Zachary smiled. "Just be yourself. My parents are just very anxious, so they didn''t have time to tell you in advance."


    "Oh, it''s fine." Samantha quickly recovered and said, "I''ll go and get ready. You guyse over! Talkter."


    With that, Samantha hung up.


    Sierra, who hadn''t gone out and was sitting on the couch, noticed Samantha''s strange expression and asked, "Ms. ir, what''s wrong?"


    "Cee, Zachary''s parents areing over to propose marriage. They''re already on their way." Samantha rushed over and hugged Sierra tightly.


    "Zachary''s going to marry Sophia. The Holt family ising to discuss the wedding. Quick, let''s tidy up. We have to prepare something!"


    Everything happened so suddenly that Samantha immediately fell into a panic. "Cee, what should I do? My mind is aplete mess. I don''t know what to do.


    "What should I do? Will I embarrass Sophia?"


    Sierra quickly grabbed the spinning Samantha. "Ms. ir, don''t worry. Rx.<fnb8b2> Checktest chapters at Find[?]ovel</fnb8b2>


    "This all happened a bit suddenly, but it''s nothing we can''t handle. After all, we know about Zachary''s feelings for Sophia and how much he''s waited and sacrificed for her.


    "If the Holt family ising to


    propose, it means Zachary''s parents have epted Sophia too. We just need to wait for them. As long as


    Sophia agrees, we have no objections."  s


    Sierra spoke gently and calmly, finally settling Samantha''s frantic emotions.


    "You''re right. I won''t oppose Sophia and Zac''s marriage. For Sophia to be willing to ept a man, start a new rtionship, and even agree to marriage is already very hard for her.  s


    "I would never, ever oppose them."
