Chapter 536 Heartbeat Accelerates

Ambrose's heart was pounding like crazy.

He thought he was losing his mind.

Kenna was with Brooks, and they had a kid together. Why would Kenna want to marry him?

Was it because the video made her feel guilty?

He really didn't want to cause her any trouble.

If he could, he wished that video had never shown up in front of Kenna.

He looked at her, feeling completely lost.

"I'm not feeling guilty, and I'm not afraid of letting you down. Even though Hazel and Allegra told me you planned to propose six months ago, but had to postpone it because of the accident. Even though they said you looked all cool and composed in the video, but you were actually so nervous you had to redo it a bunch of times. They also said..." Kenna's voice cracked, unable to continue.

She never expected Ambrose to do so much for her.

In fact, even if Ambrose left her, she never planned to be with Brooks.

She was just morally bound, wanting to give Brooks six months to accept his "unexpected" life. That was her bottom line. After six months, regardless of Brooks' situation, she would have done her best and wouldn't feel any guilt towards him.

At that time, she could be with Ambrose without any worries.

But she hadn't had the chance to tell Ambrose this before he had already pushed her away. Even so, even if Ambrose didn't like her and didn't want to be with her, she couldn't be with Brooks.

She had felt disappointed.

Why did Ambrose give up so easily? Was she that unimportant to him?

If it weren't for Hazel and Allegra giving her that video and telling her so much, she wouldn't have known that Ambrose had liked her silently for so many years.

Ambrose looked at Kenna, her eyes blurred with tears, and his heart ached deeply.

He reached out his hand, but then trembled and pulled it back.

He didn't know what to choose now.

He worried about burdening Kenna.

He watched Kenna, feeling her pain.

It hurt so much that he felt like Kenna really loved him.

But she was pregnant with Brooks' child. Well, he could overlook that.

As long as it was Kenna, it was okay. But did she really not mind?

"Ambrose, I want to marry you, not because you're great, not because you've liked me for so long, not because you've done so much for me, but simply because I like you."

Kenna spoke clearly, "I want to marry you just because I like you; nothing else matters."

"But don't you like Brooks?" Ambrose looked at Kenna, finding it hard to believe.

"I've told you so many times, I don't like him anymore, haven't for a long time. I also told you that my past feelings might have just been a habit. I like you, not out of guilt or any other reason, just purely because I like you!" Kenna was a bit angry.

Every time she said she liked him, he didn't believe it.

She wasn't angry at Ambrose for not trusting her; she was angry at how little confidence Ambrose had.

How could he think she couldn't possibly like him?

He seemed so fearless, yet inside he was so insecure. Was it because of his family?

The Valois family's neglect made Ambrose feel inadequate, leading him to give up on himself.

"But aren't you pregnant?" Ambrose asked cautiously.

Kenna looked down at her belly.

She blinked at Ambrose, "Is that why you rejected me?"

"No!" Ambrose quickly denied, "No matter the reason, I wouldn't reject you. Even if you were in a vegetative state, I'd love you forever!"

Kenna didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ambrose, are you cursing me?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I mean, no matter what happens to you, I wouldn't stop loving you. I just thought you and Brooks had such a good relationship, and you have his child. Why would you still want to marry me?" Ambrose said, feeling a bit down, "You don't have to consider me. Even though I like you a lot and probably won't love another woman in my life, I have many friends. I won't be lonely."

"So you'd rather be alone forever than take this step?" Kenna said, annoyed.

"I don't want to trouble you." Ambrose's voice was small.

Though he grew up neglected, he never acted this cautiously.

He seemed like a man who had been wronged.

"How many times do I have to say it for you to believe? Ambrose, this isn't trouble, not at all. This is what I want. I want to marry you! Just tell me, will you marry me or not?" Kenna demanded loudly.

It felt like she was forcing him! The quiet surroundings erupted because of Kenna's sudden demand.

Especially Nico, who couldn't stand Ambrose's hesitation.

He shouted, "Ambrose, be a man and say yes!"

With Nico's words, others joined in, "Say yes! Hurry up and say yes!"

Kenna kept looking at Ambrose, watching him press his lips together, his body stiff, not saying a word.

Kenna's tears, which she had managed to hold back, started flowing again.

Her eyes turned red.

But she didn't speak, waiting for Ambrose's answer. They stood there for a long time.

People around them grew anxious. Nico wanted to shout again, but was stopped by Allegra.

For once, Allegra stayed calm in a serious moment.

This was the time for them to face it themselves.

Ambrose and Kenna both needed to overcome their inner barriers.

Suddenly, it became quiet.

Everyone waited patiently for their final decision.

Kenna's eyes were full of tears, ready to overflow with a blink.

She tried hard to control her tears and stay strong.

Ambrose pressed his lips together.

His Adam's apple moved.

For Kenna, it felt like an eternity.

She finally heard him say, "I will."

Kenna's tears flowed uncontrollably.

There were tears of joy and happiness.

He shouted, "Kenna, I will marry you! This is what I've wanted to do my whole life! Even if you regret it later, even if you're acting on impulse now, I won't let go! You will be with me forever. I won't let you belong to any other man! I'll be very possessive!"

"I won't regret it." Kenna's tone was firm.

She wouldn't regret it.

Marrying Ambrose was something she would never regret.
