Chapter 97

Cassia was thinking that her husband might have returned home, and they were arguing on the way when the two speakers that were there suddenly sounded and the melodious song soared.

Cassia was now frowning deeply while looking around, and then, out of nowhere, the Amazons entered the court. They were all smiling at her with flowers on their hands, together with their husbands.

Cassia was now even more confused when, one by one, the Amazons went to give her the flower they were holding.

Raine, Mhelanie, Nez, and Krisz, with their husbands, gave her a steaming red rose.

Then Vienna, Etheyl, Haze, and Anniza, with their husbands, gave her Sunflower.

Her master, Doc Cza, Eliza, Syl, and Zehannah, with their husbands except for Zehannah, who was single, gave her the violet.

Grace, Anette, Berry, and Lucky, with their husbands, gave her Daisy.

SM, Themarie, Happy, Mace, and Ivy, with their husbands, gave her a hydrangea.

Red, Ruth, Faith, Gladz, and Tessmarie, with their husbands, gave her Alstroemeria.

Finally, the flower giving was over, and Cassia was about to ask everyone on the bench what was happening when two mascots entered the basketball and were dragging a very large cardboard.

Cassia didn't know whether to frown or laugh when she saw the two mascots dancing the jumbo hotdog choreography, and they were even grinding up and down as if they were the two doing it.

Cassia couldn't help but laugh, even though she didn't know what was going on.

But Cassia's laughter slowly died down when she finally saw her husband enter the basketball court. Someone who claimed that he was playing basketball was wearing casual clothing, not something someone would wear to play basketball.

Black jeans, a white shirt, and Thorn were freshly bathed.

"Where did you take a shower?" That's exactly what Cassia asked Thorn, which made the latter laugh.

"You won't even ask why your wife has flowers with her.

Cassia was stunned, then looked down at the flower her husband was holding. It was a bouquet of various flowers.

Rose, Sunflower, Violet, Daisy, hydrangea, and zinnia Staring at the flowers on her husband's hands, Cassia realized that her husband was holding the same kind of flower as the one she received from the Amazon.

One of Cassia's hands, which was not holding a flower, reached up and caressed the bouquet of flowers that her husband was holding. "This flower..."

Thorn smiled. "You like them?"

Cassia looked up at Thorn. She was confused, but slowly, her mind was catching up. From her breakfast, the note, the flowers she received from the Amazons, and the mascots. "Did you plan this?"

Thorn nodded.

"What's the occasion?" Cassia couldn't help asking. because he knows no reason for his wife to do this.

With a soft, loving smile, Thorn handed the bouquet of flowers he was holding to Cassia. "Red rose for my deep love for you. Sunflower for warming up my life and thanking you for the sunny and happy memories we shared together. Violet for my affection and faithfulness to you. Daisy for your gentleness, innocence, and simplicity that made me fall for you again and again. Hydrangea from me to you, representing my want to be always together with you, for our family to be always united. Last but not least, Alstroemeria that represents strong bond, loyalty, devotion, and support. Please accept these flowers as a sign of my love, my gratitude, my affection, my faithfulness, my loyalty, my devotion, my support, and my all."

Thorn chuckled when his wife accepted the bouquet of flowers and saw her crying.

"Silly wife," Thorn leaned in and dried her tears, "why are you crying again?"

"I'm just happy," she sobbed.

Thorn chuckled again. "Then smile for me."

"I can't," Cassia sobbed again. "I'm too happy."

Cassia was now hugging the bouquet of flowers like it was one of the most precious possessions she ever had. She was hugging and smelling it while crying when she saw a white velvet box slightly hidden inside the bouquet. She stilled herself, and using her free hand, she picked it up and looked at her husband questioningly.

Silently, Thorn answered her by taking the white velvet box from her hand and opening it.

Cassia nearly dropped the flowers she was holding when Thorn suddenly knelt on one knee while holding the ring like he was offering it to her.

She didn't know what to think or do; her mind was blank. She could only gape at Thorn, who was kneeling on one knee in front of her.

and due to Thorn kneeling down, he saw the two mascots behind the husband, who were now holding the cardboard with 'MARRY ME' written on it, and the two were pointing straight at the cardboard and at Thorn. Then the two took off the mascot's head as if it were hot.

The mascots were Reigo and Terron.

"Cinnamon?"

Slowly, Cassia's eyes dropped to her husband. "Hon..."

Thorn smiled at Cassia, who had tears in her eyes again. "Stop crying, my silly wife."

Cassia sobbed softly. "W-how? You're shocking me right now. I don't know how to control my tears. This is too much, hon."

Thorn chuckled at his wife's adorableness before getting serious. "Cinnamon, marry me. In the church this time. With a grand reception and you walking down the aisle towards me."

Cassia cried even more, and in response to her husband's question, still crying, she nodded, then let go of everything she held to hug Thorn tightly.

Thorn's smile widened as he got up and hugged her back while caressing her back to calm her down. "Don't cry anymore. Let me put this ring on your finger."

But Cassia didn't let go; she even tightened her embrace around him and only let go when the Amazona and the lunatics clapped their hands and cheered for them.

Cassia tried to dry her tears, but she didn't want them to stop; she kept crying even though she wanted to stop. "Why is that? I don't want to cry anymore, but I'm still crying?" Cassia said as if she were reporting to Thorn.

Thorn just laughed, then took his wife's hand and put the ring on it, along with another ring on her finger that was also from Thorn.

"I have so many rings," Cassia sniffed.

"There will be more," Thorn said, then kissed his wife on the forehead. "That's all from me."

"Baby Cass! Congratulations! You're free at SM's café!" Amazons shouted from the court bench.

"Congratz, Calderon! Free BBQ and beer to Eva right now!" Thorn's crazy friends screamed.

ignored by Thorn and his crazy friends. Instead, Thorn gently kissed his wife's cheek and stared at her. "Cassia?"

Cassia sniffed before looking back into Thorn's eyes. "Hmm?"

"Will you marry me?" Thorn asked for the second time, like asking her once was not enough.

With tears still in Cassia's eyes, she gave Thorn a wide, sweet smile and nodded. "Yes, hon. I do."
