As the mother and daughter duo had been inside for half an hour, Zayne couldn’t contain his anxiety and turned to Charlie, saying, “Mr. Wade, why haven’t theye out yet?”


    Charlie gave a slight smile and replied, “It should be any moment now. Are you all set?”


    Feeling uncertain, Zayne responded, “It’s done…” He wiped the sweat from his forehead and, with a hint of helplessness, asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, can you tell me, is the proposal supposed to be on one knee? Should I send flowers first or present the ring?”


    Charlie shook his head, admitting, “I’m not sure either.”


    Curiosity getting the better of him, Zayne asked, “How could you not know? Haven’t you ever been married?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie responded casually, “My marriage was essentially arranged. My wife’s grandfather hadplete authority over the arrangements, so there wasn’t really a proposal process.”


    Then, Charlie inquired, “Did you and Aunt Deana have a proposal?”


    Zayne smiled awkwardly and replied, “You had an arranged marriage, while mine is more of a contract situation. We’re both in simr boats…”


    Charlie nodded in understanding and said with a smile, “I believe that for a marriage proposal, the first step is to ‘beg’ for it. So, kneeling on one knee is essential. You present the ring and ask if the other person would marry you. If they agree, you ce the ring on their finger and then give them flowers. If they decline, you should graciously stand and prepare to leave.”


    Hearing this, Zayne grew even more anxious and asked, “What if she leaves with her mother and turns me down? I might be under constant scrutiny by her. If she refuses me, I’ll feel so embarrassed every time we meet…”


    Charlie offered a reassuring smile. “I think Ms. Kairi has been single for many years and has raised Xion on her own. Even now, she continues to care for Xion, which shows how much she values you. In other words, she must have strong feelings for you. If you propose to someone who loves you deeply and you still get turned down, then it’s time to reflect on yourself.”<fn2257> Discover more novels at f?ndnovel</fn2257>


    Zayne nodded, as though trying to motivate himself, murmuring, “Mr. Wade is right… As long as I propose to Kairi sincerely and express my feelings, she should ept. Plus, with Xion there, it’s reasonable for her to say yes…”


    After thinking, he turned to Charlie and earnestly asked, “Mr. Wade, could I ask you for a favor?”


    Charlie replied calmly, “Go ahead.”


    Zayne expressed sincerely, “If Xion’s mother agrees, I hope we can hold a simple ceremony and a few tables of banquets at the vi in Aurous Hill. I would love to have Zara and Xion join us!”


    Charlie smiled softly and said, “If Ms. Kairi agrees today, then once I return to Aurous Hill, I will ensure you both have an extravagant wedding at Shangri-La in Aurous Hill. Everyone from the Banks family can attend, even Mr. Banks all the way in Madagascar and Fitz, who is currently on a pilgrimage!”
