Chapter 361:
But she still refused to marry him so soon. She had never imagined she would get married this early.
After thinking for a while, she said seriously, “Rupert, your proposal passed the exam with flying colors. But I never thought I would get married so early p>
“Why not?” Rupert frowned slightly. “Wasn’t this romantic enough p>
Annabel pursed her lips. “It’s not about romance. We only met a little over a month ago. We don’t know each other that well yet. I don’t want to rush this p>
In Annabel’s eyes, since they loved each other, they should take time to cultivate their relationship first. When the time was right, marriage would naturally come onto the agenda.
She had only agreed to be in a relationship with him a few days ago. She did not want to get married so soon.
“I see…” Bowing his head, Rupert leaned close to her ear. “Since you don’t want to get married so soon, I won’t force you. But we can at least get engaged p>
His warm breath tickled her ear, turning her face bright red.
Before she could say anything, Rupert suddenly grabbed her hand.
A cool sensation brushed against her finger. Looking down in a daze, she saw that Rupert had slipped a beautiful ring onto her ring finger in the blink of an eye.
“What?” Still dazed, Annabel stared at the dazzling ring on her finger in awe. A huge, brilliant diamond dominated the ring, captivating anyone who laid eyes on it.
“This is a family heirloom. My grandfather asked me to give it to my wife, so now, I’m giving it to you.” Smiling at her dotingly, Rupert wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
Annabel leaned against Rupert’s chest, her heart racing.
After thinking about it for a while, she finally nodded. “Okay. Let’s get engaged first p>
In fact, they were technically already engaged, thanks to their grandfathers’ arrangement. But that had only been an oral agreement between the two elders. At that time, Annabel and Rupert had not even known each other. Now, they were engaged of their own free will.

Seeing that the woman in his arms had agreed to his proposal, Rupert beamed. “Annabel, I’m willing to wait until the day you are ready to marry me, no matter how long it takes p>
“Then be prepared to wait a long time,” Annabel muttered, her cheeks turning as red as a tomato.
“Well, just don’t make me wait too long.” With a smile, he lowered his head and gently pressed his lips against hers.
The following day was the weekend, so Rupert took Annabel to visit Bruce.
“Mr. Benton, Miss Hewitt,” Jaxen, the butler, opened the door and greeted them respectfully.
Expressionless, Rupert asked, “Where’s my grandfather p>
“He’s in the study.” Jaxen led them to the study and knocked politely. “Sir, Rupert and Annabel are here p>
“Come in, please,” Bruce’s voice sounded from inside.
Rupert pushed the door open and saw Bruce practicing calligraphy at his desk. “Grandpa,” he greeted.
