Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return
Chapter 38: I'll Marry You

Samantha wasn't sure why, but she was starting to feel nervous. She kept asking herself, 'Why are we going around this house?'

She already had an inkling, especially after seeing the kitchen. Besides, what was the use of showing her such a beautiful kitchen if it was not for her? Moreover, the butler and the maids addressed them like they were a married couple.

'Stop it, Sam! You are making assumptions!' She scolded herself right before Ethan showed her the master bedroom.

When Ethan presented her with the biggest room in the mansion, she flushed outright. While she adored looking at the sizable bed, her mind was thinking of something else. She brushed away her thoughts and remarked, "Wow! I really am jealous of the bed."

Sitting on the mattress, she remarked, "It must be... really comfortable to sleep on this bed."

She immediately eyed Ethan's reaction and heard him chuckle for the first time that night. She thought, 'This man is hiding something from me... Clearly.'

"Let's go to the other room. You'll love it even more," suggested Ethan while extending his hand to her.

"You seem to be getting used to my hold," she heard Ethan remarked after she gripped on his firm hands.

While it was shameful to admit, she did not care anymore. She was really happy that day, and she was pretty sure Ethan liked holding her hand too. She admitted, "It feels nice to be in your protective hands." "Hmmm," answered Ethan.

Standing by the door of another room, Ethan proposed to her, "You can open it, Sam."

'What is inside this room?' She wondered silently. 'Maybe a room full of flowers?'

Turning to Ethan, she awkwardly asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, Sam," Ethan answered. "Go ahead."

She bit her lip before taking a deep breath. She did not know why, but she felt like she needed to brace herself.

After opening the door, her gaze lingered on the right side of the room. She acknowledged how it was far better than a room full of flowers.

It made her heart beat so fast, seeing Kenzie's name beautifully painted on top of a single bed, resting on a pink wooden frame. The wallpapers were dreamy and spoke so much of Kenzie's personality. In front of the bed was a beautiful vanity table, perfect for her little girl.

She placed a hand on her chest before turning to the right and saw how it was also well customized for Kyle.

Like Kenzie's side of the room, he had his name on top of the blue-framed bed, but his wallpaper was decorated with night skies and robots floating out of nowhere.

Kyle also had his own study table, already equipped with a computer.

She finally realized how this home was meant for them... as a family.

It could not be helped, Samantha cried right after reaching this realization.

From behind her, she heard Ethan announce, "Sam, the title of this house already belongs to you. You just need to sign the transfer documents for formalities. You can have this house for yourself, but if you allow it... this can be... our familial home."

Clearing his throat, Ethan added to his words, "Marry me, Sam. I'll give you everything in my will and my power... Everything you have ever dreamed of for yourself and for our children."

Samantha took some time to savor the moment. She turned to each side of the bed again and again, even after Ethan's proposal.

After some time, she turned to his handsome face and embraced Ethan by the waist.

She felt the caress on her back as she buried her face against his firm chest. She heard Ethan say, "Why are you crying? You deserve this, Sam. You deserve this because you took care of Kenzie and Kyle all by yourself for many years."

"I'm just making up for lost times," Ethan added while pecking on her head.

Samantha was still overwhelmed by Ethan's surprise. It was truly a surprise she never expected. She muttered in silence, 'Who in the world gifts a house?!'

"Sam, marry me... Be with me," Ethan repeated his request.

Hearing Ethan's accounts, Samantha pulled away and looked up at his gorgeous face. She stuttered as she said, "O - okay." Nodding her head, she resumed, "I'll marry you, Mr. Ethan Wright."

Her hands crept up to the back of his neck, and she asked, "But Ethan, will this be okay with you? I know that I like you... but - "

"We will get there... together," Ethan interrupted her trail of thought, assuring her further, "I am a man of commitment and I will never break my promise. I only ask that you be the same with me."

That special house revelation utterly melted Samantha's heart. How could she say no to the father of her children, who happened to be a respectable man? He was willing enough to give her everything, including an overpriced house!

Hearing him talk about commitment, Samantha told, "I have expectations."

"I'm listening," he answered while thoughtfully looking at her blue eyes.

"I don't ever want to be hurt again," said Samantha. "That was why I never planned on seeing someone after having my kids. They were - they were enough to make me happy."

"I don't plan on hurting you," Ethan swore. "I swear on my life."

"I want a happy family. That was how I've always imagined my life to be. I don't like scandals, unnecessary conflicts - "As Samantha told of her worries, Ethan cut her off.

"Sam, I will never hurt you on purpose. If you like, I have my lawyers make a draft of all the things that you want in our marriage to be." Ethan put both his hands on her delicate face when he added, "I chose you and anything that I choose will remain by my side."

Samantha pursed her lips and said, "Okay... Okay, I believe you, Ethan. I believe you."

"Ethan Wright, I'll marry you," she repeated.

With Samantha's double confirmation, Ethan formed a curve on his lips. He gulped and flaunted his sexy adam's apple. He said, "Thank you, Sam. Thank you."

As they were still in each other's embrace, that eventful confirmation from Samantha warranted a kiss.

Ethan leaned over and started pecking on Samantha's lips.

Samantha was already in heaven with everything Ethan had dazzled her that day, but she was even more thrilled to taste the softness of his lips once more. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She honestly thought the man's flavor was so addicting. She ended up responding while closing her eyes and eventually; she parted her lips as soon as she sensed Ethan did the same.

Standing in the middle of the room, the couple's head turned from side to side as they accommodate their breaths and their kisses. Their hands rested on each other's faces, while their eyes were often closed. Except for their smacking lips, everything else turned mute around them.

They only let go when they heard footsteps coming towards the direction of the bedroom.

***

Arriving at the condominium, Samantha was excited to tell the kids. It was already late, but she still meant to tell them either way.

When Ethan and Samantha entered the place, the lights were dimmed. It was already twelve midnight when they arrived, and she was certain her twins were already asleep.

"Let me just go wake up the kids," said Samantha.

"Wait," Ethan called while pulling her hand. He grabbed her waist and told, "I'm not done with you yet."

To Samantha's surprise, Ethan kissed her again.

"Mmmmm." Moans easily left Samantha's lips as Ethan ate her mouth without hold.

The kiss was so heated, that both Ethan and Samantha frequently gasped for air.

The two were so engrossed with their make-out session by the living room wall, that they failed to notice how one little girl crept out of their room to get a glass of water. When Kenzie came back, walking past them again, she reminded, "Mommy, there is a limit to kissing Daddy."
