Chapter 991

Chapter 991Edmund had already opened the ring box. He stared at Chelsea with his black eyes, saying, “Chelsea,
I thought a lot about the way of proposing.”
“But when I was invited here today, I think there is no better way to show my sincerity than to propose
to you in front of all your family.” Edmund’s tone was calm, but his voice was slightly trembling.
“I don’t want to mention our past. Now that I have you again, I just want to look forward.
“I hope you can marry me again. For the rest of your life, I will make you the happiest princess in the
world.”
Finally, Edmund piously handed the bright diamond ring in his hand to Chelsea and solemnly asked,
“Chelsea, will you marry me?”
Applause broke out all around them after Edmund finished speaking.
ALL the female members of the Ellis family were moved to tears, including Lady Dorothy and Kelli. But
none of them urged Chelsea to reply, nor asked her to agree.
They loved Chelsea, so they respected her choice,
As for Chelsea, his brain had completely shut down.
She stood there blankly, looked down at the handsome man kneeling on the ground, and murmured, “I,
I’m not ready yet…”
She meant it. And she was very satisfied with her current situation with Edmund.
However, for Edmund, this was a rejection.
The Ellis family didn’t react much. As Chelsea’s family, they supported her decision.Edmund couldn’t hide his gloom, but he didn’t force Chelsea. He could see that she was scared, her
pretty face was at a loss, so he put away the ring immediately and stood up holding her hand.
Chelsea’s cousin said, “Mr. Nelson, don’t you want to try one more time?”
Edmund smiled with relief, “No, I am not in a rush.”
Then he raised his hand and hugged Chelsea, who was still in confusion, and whispered in her ear,
novelbin“Sorry, I’ve scared you.”
Chelsea didn’t come back to her sense until she felt Edmund’s warmth. She Looked up at him with
some regret, “I’m sorry…”
“It’s okay,” Edmund said in a warm voice.
Chelsea felt complicated now. Seeing Edmund’s upset eyes, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Edmund noticed the change in her mood, so he whispered to her, “Do you want to go out for a walk?”
Chelsea nodded gratefully. She really needed a place to be quiet at the moment.
Edmund spoke politely to the crowd, then wrapped his arm around her shoulder and left the banquet
hall.
After they left, one of Chelsea’s aunts sighed softly and said, “Chelsea wanted to marry Edmund. She
was just too nervous. You see? She regrated saying no just now.”
Kelli replied weakly, “Yes, she was frightened.”
