The Heiress Who Took Revenge

Chapter 614 Engagement

“An engagement party?” Eliza thought it over. “That's actually a good idea.” “Eliza, I mean… engagement.” Nolan repeated himself once more. At first, Eliza thought Nolan was just looking for an excuse to test Tyson, but when Nolan said it the second time, Eliza realized he was proposing. “You… you, who proposes like this?” Eliza immediately averted her gaze, her face blushing a little. “Even if you don't buy me a diamond ring, you should at least give me a bouquet of flowers, or give me a sur—” Before Eliza could finish speaking, Nolan grabbed her hand and headed upstairs. Eliza looked down at the hand Nolan was holding, suddenly a little dazed. Nolan opened her room. The room, which looked normal during the day, was now filled with balloons and night lights. The floor was covered in flowers, and a cake was placed in the most conspicuous spot on the table. This was the first time Nolan had done something like this. He took the ring out of his pocket. When Eliza saw Nolan take out the ring, her expression was a bit dazed. Nolan knelt on one knee in front of Eliza, his eyes filled with a tenderness she had never seen before, as well as nervousness. “Eliza… marry me, okay?” “I…” Just as Eliza was about to say yes to Nolan, her phone rang unexpectedly. The caller ID showed Halbert. If it were the old Nolan, he would have definitely let Eliza finish the call, but this time, Nolan reached out his other hand and held her wrist. “Eliza, marry me, okay?” Seeing the fear in Nolan's eyes, Eliza knew that what Nolan feared most right now was her rejection. She hung up on Halbert right in front of him, then leaned in and placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth. “I'm willing.” Eliza's face turned a little red. Nolan seemed to be still immersed in the atmosphere of the kiss. When he heard her say yes, Nolan kissed the back of her hand, then kissed her forehead. Just as he was about to kiss her lips…A car horn suddenly honked downstairs. A beam of headlights shone directly into Eliza's bedroom window. The whole room instantly became very bright. Both of their expressions changed immediately. Eliza then remembered she had just hung up on Halbert. Halbert probably had something to discuss with them tonight and had already arrived. Eliza quickly straightened her clothes and hurried downstairs. Sure enough, Halbert's car was already parked at Nolan's door. “What… were you two doing?” Halbert glanced at Eliza, then at Nolan. Their clothes were in order, but Eliza's face was very red. “Um, nothing. Come in.” Eliza took the initiative to open the door for Halbert. Halbert felt the atmosphere between the two was strange, but he walked in anyway. After reaching the hall, Halbert sat on the sofa and said, “Wendy is protected, but she refuses to say anything. She's no different from a dead person. I'm preparing to bluff her. Did you come over here just to talk about this? You're acting strange today. You seem really unhappy to see me.” Halbert looked at Eliza and said, “Don't tell me you two were doing something not suitable for children?” Hearing what Halbert said, Eliza's face turned red instantly. “No! What are you thinking!” “I was just saying it casually. Why are you blushing?” Halbert said nonchalantly, “Now that Tyson and Elaine are getting married, I don't think Mr. Hayes's own life is going too well. The Hayes family doesn't need to get involved in this mess. I'll handle it. Thank you for managing the Hayes family for me these past few days.” If it weren't for Halbert, Tyson would have probably already made a move against his people. Eliza, at the side, kept signaling Nolan with her eyes. They had just agreed to hold an engagement to test Tyson, but Halbert didn't know about this.Nolan received Eliza's signal and said, “I'm preparing to get engaged to Eliza.” One sentence, and Halbert spat out the tea he was drinking. “What did you say?” Halbert thought he had misheard. But Nolan said it again, “I'm preparing to get engaged to Eliza.” Eliza knew Nolan liked to be direct, but she didn't expect him to say it this directly! Eliza hit Nolan. Halbert looked at Eliza, then at Nolan, his expression not looking good. “Say what you just said one more time.”
