Chapter 1588:
Elena started to speak, ready to refuse, but his kiss caught her before a single word could escape.
Having anticipated her refusal, Wesley leaned in and claimed her mouth, leaving her no chance to say no.
Each brush of his lips felt deliberate, as if he wanted to memorize the shape of her mouth and the taste of her lips. He didn’t pull back until Elena could barely catch her breath, her cheeks flushed, her body unsteady beneath his touch.
He rested his forehead against hers, their noses almost touching in a quiet, intimate pause. In a hoarse whisper, he said, “Please don’t turn me away. You’re everything to me.”
Elena took a few steadying breaths before she managed to murmur, “What is it that you want in return?”
A part of her felt she owed him something. After all, he had just handed her every asset he owned.
But Wesley only smiled, the answer already written in his eyes.
“I’ve already got what matters most.”
No one else stirred his heart the way she did. She was the light that cut through the shadows of his empty world. At last, he could claim her—not just in private, but in every sense that mattered.
Cradling her face, he said softly, “You belong with me now, in every—”
The depth of his love made her heart ache in the sweetest way, and Elena couldn’t stop herself from smiling back at him.
Later that evening, Wesley shocked the city by announcing his successful proposal.
One candid photo sent social media into a frenzy. High above the city lights, Wesley leaned in and kissed Elena while fireworks painted the sky beyond towering glass windows. Only their silhouettes were visible, but the intimacy and joy radiating from the image captured everyone’s imagination.
Every major news outlet lit up with headlines, each racing to break the story first. Within minutes, the entire city was buzzing.

“City’s Most Elusive Bachelor Finally Pops the Question—Wesley Spencer Off the Market!”
“Spencer Family and Harper Family Announce a Marriage Alliance; Looks Like the Prince Has Found His Love!”
When the news reached Gerald, he grinned from ear to ear.
“That grandson of mine finally got his act together. I honestly thought I’d never see him settle down. When I chased after my wife, it didn’t take me this long.”
The butler’s face brightened, and he couldn’t help teasing, “Congratulations, Mr. Spencer. Maybe we’ll be hearing the pitter-patter of little feet soon.”
Gerald laughed, his shoulders shaking.
“Wouldn’t that be something! If I get to see a great-grandchild, I could leave this world happy. All I want is for Wesley to start a family soon and give me a bouncing great-grandchild.”
“Please don’t talk about leaving this world,” the butler said gently.
“With Miss Harper’s medical skills, your health has really turned around. Mark my words, you’ll be around for a long time. Besides, Wesley and Miss Harper might need your help once they have their little one.”
