Chapter 79 Surprise

• During the wedding their family had a truce, all for Clara’s sake. Celine declared a ceasefire and said hello to her parents. Took a few pictures with her sister like they were one happy family, even though underneath, there was tension every time Nathan Jacobs, her father, glared at Max. If she did not like him now, she knows that whatever she does will never please him. So she concentrated on having a good time with Max instead.
• They were slow dancing to the music, Celine’s arms wrapped around Max’s neck while he had his arms around her waist. ‘I keep on telling your dad and anybody that would listen that I would marry you someday, but I never asked if you would want to marry me? I don’t see myself with anyone else other than you in my life forever, and my heart breaks every time your parents say no to me, but I would like to ask you, anyway. Celine Marie Jacobs, would you marry me?’ He asked as he got down on one knee and held the prettiest square-cut diamond she had ever seen.
• ‘I don’t have family to link me to the past, but I hope you will always be my future. From there, we can make our own memories.’
