Chapter 519
Jonathan and Reina returned to the car hand in hand after attending the baby’s 1–month party. Jonathan opened the door for Reina and fastened her seat belt before returning to the driver’s seat.
Instead of immediately driving off, he turned towards Reina in the passenger seat and said sincerely, “Reina, I love you.”
Reina blinked and wondered why he suddenly confessed his love to her.
Despite her doubts, she responded with a gentle smile, “I love you too.”
Pleased to hear her reciprocation, Jonathan smiled with satisfaction. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his heart racing, and fixed his gaze on her.
After a long time, he mustered the courage to speak, “Reina, I don’t want to be alone anymore. I want us to get married. Will you be my bride?”
Reina felt a rush of emotions as his words sank in, her heart likely pounding out her chest.
She was momentarily stunned and didn’t respond in time.
Jonathan didn’t get her response and realized he was in a rush, and she wasn’t ready yet.
Jonathan smiled awkwardly and said, “It’s okay. I can wait a bit longer if you are not ready now.”
Despite their strong relationship, Jonathan had not yet gained Omar’s approval. Being new to society, Reina’s hesitation about marriage is understandable.
Vincent’s marriage license at the party stimulated him.
ust as Jonathan’s thoughts swirled, Reina suddenly said, “I never said I wasn’t ready. What that a >roposal? I think it’s a little hasty.”
Reina blushed nervously and pointed out the problem straightforwardly.
learing this, Jonathan’s eyes immediately lit up. He grabbed Reina’s hand excitedly and said in a rembling voice, “You mean you also want to marry me, right?”
eina listened to his straightforward words and complained secretly, “Can he speak more bluntly?”
eina blushed with shyness. She didn’t want to answer Jonathan directly, so she turned her face way and said softly, “Think about it yourself.”
onathan realized and was overjoyed, “I’ll prepare a proposal as soon as I send you home.”
fter saying that, Jonathan started the car excitedly.
ɔnathan hadn’t intended to skip the proposal. During this time, Omar kept a close eve nd Reina was particularly concerned about her father’s feelings.
He just expressed his thoughts pitifully and didn’t expect Reina to agree.

Jonathan was driving very fast. Upon dropping Reina at her doorstep, he swiftly departed without lingering.
Along the way, he had various proposal ideas in mind.
Jonathan acted quickly. He prepared a plan in the afternoon and then arranged it overnight. He was eager to marry his girl.
However, fate intervened.
At five o’clock the next morning, Reina was urgently recalled to the police station.
The suspect in the case she and her colleagues were responsible for was spotted in Warrina and required them to rush over.
Reina had no choice but to send a text message to Jonathan and immediately followed her colleagues to fly away.
It was an hour later when Jonathan saw the text message.
Jonathan had been busy all night setting up the proposal venue. As he admired the dreamy setting,
he felt satisfied.
When he reached for his phone to invite Reina, he happened to see the text message and felt disappointed.
But he understood this was Reina’s job.
He dialed Reina’s number to inquire about her return.
The mechanical female voice from the phone informed, “Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service.”
Jonathan realized she might be on the plane and hung up the phone helplessly.
He then captured the proposal scene in a photo and texted it to Reina, “Do you like it? I’ll wait for your return.”
He instructed his men to protect the scene.
About two hours later, Reina and her companions finally got off the plane.
Warrina was located in the western part of Clusia. It was surrounded by mountains and shrouded in fog all year round.
Upon arrival, they swiftly made their way to the local police station.
In the car, Reina finally had a moment to glance at her phone.
O
The sight of the photo filled her heart with immense sweetness.
He had arranged all this overnight, but unfortunately, she had disappointed him. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Not wanting his efforts to go to waste, Reina softly replied, “Yes, I do.”
Instantly, Jonathan called her.
Reina sensed colleagues‘ curious stares and blushed slightly.
The phone kept ringing. Reina answered the phone regardless of the eyes around her.
“Reina, how’s everything there? Are you settling in?” Jonathan asked concernedly.
“We just landed. The environment here is pleasant, and the air is fresh,” Reina reassured him.
“Is there a pressing matter that brought you there?” Jonathan asked confusedly.
Reina’s earlier message had mentioned official business, not arresting a suspect.
Thinking of Reina’s identity as a police officer, Jonathan was worried.
Reina didn’t want him to worry and came up with a casual reason, “It’s a small matter. It will be solved soon.”
“If it was a small matter, would you guys have been sent over?” Jonathan questioned.
Reina was stunned.
She thought, ‘How does he know there are several of them?‘
Jonathan seemed to know Reina’s thoughts and explained directly, “You mentioned it earlier. Tell me, is there any risk in your mission?”
“Nothing to worry about. I’ll be back in a few days.” Reina asserted. She didn’t want Jonathan to be in danger because the suspect might kill several people this time.
Respecting her decision and the confidentiality of her work, Jonathan didn’t continue to ask, though unease lingered within him.
After telling her to pay attention to safety, he ended the call and promptly told his assistant to arrange a flight.
If she refused to tell him the truth, he would personally go and stay with her.
Shortly after, the assistant secured the flight ticket for eight o’clock in the evening. Meanwhile, Reina and her colleagues rushed to the Warrina police station.
