Love Me Or Leave Me

Chapter 263

That Christmas was more lively and joyful than last year’s. Stacey was initially worried about how to entertain Eugene, but after some time, she realized she did not need much effort. Eugene enjoyed Christmas in Zentiscape and liked the happy atmosphere of both the Carter and Hoggard families.

After Christmas, Stacey found a suitable opportunity and invited Eugene to collaborate with Carter’s Jewel. Stacey felt nervous, afraid that Eugene might refuse. As expected, Eugene did not immediately agree but did not reject the offer outright. He said he needed time to consider it. Stacey was both surprised and delighted, asking, “Are you really willing to consider it?” The difference between Carter’s Jewel and Eklonna was truly vast. Eugene had worked at Eklonna for many years and had already become a top designer. It seemed unbelievable that he would be willing to come to a company like theirs.

Eugene smiled and nodded. In somewhat broken Zentiscapian, he said, “I… really like… your family.”

He did not know Zentiscapian before, but during his stay there, he was influenced by the joyful atmosphere of the Carter family. He also felt happy, which sparked his interest in Zentiscapian. Whenever he had free time, he learned Zentiscapian with Jeremy, Lillian, and Kevin. Although Eugene had learned Zentiscapian from the children and enjoyed playing with them, the language barrier was still a significant problem. Fortunately, Jeremy soon brought the writing tablet he had been using. It had a translation function, so the tablet could translate it into the other person’s language whenever Jeremy wrote something on it. That way, Eugene and the children used the writing tablet to play and communicate. Over time, he learned a few simple Zentiscapian phrases. Although his pronunciation was not very accurate, everyone could understand him.

Stacey had not expected Eugene to like her family so much, but it was a good thing, and she was in a good mood. She quickly shared the news with her parents. Patrick was surprised to hear Eugene was willing to consider the offer, but he quickly calmed down and smiled. ‘Becky’s getting more and more impressive, isn’t she?‘ he thought. Finally, someone was to inherit the family business, and he did not have to worry about those three brats not wanting to take over the family business. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Time went by very quickly. Soon, Christmas was over, and everyone had to go back to work. Eugene also took his leave, wanting to visit other places in Zentiscape. Stacey offered to arrange things for him, but he refused, saying that he preferred to explore on his own, unaccompanied. Stacey had no choice but to send Eugene to the airport herself and let him travel alone.

Three months later, Eugene returned. He made the jewelry Hayden had previously ordered and delivered to Hayden and Stacey. She felt a bit anxious. After such a long time, there was still no result from Eugene’s consideration. She worried that Eugene would no longer want to stay at Carter’s Jewel.

The next day, when Hayden asked Stacey out on a date, she felt quite down. However, she completely forgot about her unhappiness when she saw the amusement park filled with roses. Her confusion replaced her initial shock as she looked at the roses and then turned to look at Hayden. Hayden smiled as he took out a brocade box and opened it. Inside was a ring. “Becky… Will you marry me?” he asked, kneeling on one knee as he looked at Stacey with a smile.

Meanwhile, many people suddenly appeared around the amusement park that had been cleared out. Patrick, Debra, Adrian, Isabella, Carly, Ronald, Damian, Lillian, Kevin, Jeremy, Charlie, Bryce, Paul, Jason, Sharon, Hayden’s parents, and even Eugene were there. Everyone smiled as they looked at her with anticipation, blessing, and happiness.

Jeremy was the happiest. He could not help but smile as he excitedly watched Hayden and Becky’s proposal scene.

When Stacey looked at everyone, she suddenly realized what was happening. She felt touched and extremely happy. “Becky, don’t be stunned. Just say yes!” Debra urged anxiously when she saw Stacey standing there, dazed and not responding.

Stacey came to her senses and turned to look at Hayden. With a smile, she nodded and replied, “Yes!” Hayden smiled, took out the ring, and carefully placed it on Becky’s finger. After the ring was placed on her finger, fireworks suddenly burst in the amusement park. Rows of fireworks were ignited almost simultaneously, shooting beautifully into the sky. It was beautiful.

“Mommy!” Jeremy exclaimed as he ran over and hugged Stacey. She then bent down and hugged Jeremy, who had waited so long for that day, and finally got what he had hoped for when he saw Becky had said yes to Hayden’s proposal.

Debra nudged Lillian and Kevin, ordering them to go over too. They were thrilled and immediately ran over.

When Charlie saw everyone in place, he immediately took out a confetti popper and sprayed it wildly at Stacey, Hayden, and the three children. Caught off guard by the confetti, Stacey, Hayden, and

the children were completely covered in confetti, which was hilarious. It was funny not only to them but to everyone around.

After the ceremony, everyone shared the good news with Stacey Eugene had actually agreed to stay at Carter’s Jewel a long time ago, but he kept it a secret to surprise her, so he waited until today to tell her the good news. Stacey was stunned. She turned to look at Hayden, then at everyone else, and finally at Eugene, who smiled and nodded. Her heart was racing. Unable to contain herself, she walked over and quickly said, “Thank you!”

Eugene spoke a few words in Dapreinish while Hayden translated for him, saying, “Mr. Fraley said that he stayed because he liked the Carter family, us, and our joyful atmosphere. He felt happy being here with us, so he’s willing to stay. He said you don’t have to thank him.” Stacey was thrilled. She also loved the atmosphere and the happiness of the Carter family. She was also delighted by the joy of everyone being together.

After the proposal ceremony, Stacey and Hayden would need time to arrange the formal engagement and wedding dates. While arranging it, Adrian’s friend finally recovered the evidence from Carly’s previous case. With the evidence, they were sure they could get the case overturned for her. Adrian told Isabella everything and let the two sisters decide if they wanted to return to court to ensure the criminals faced justice.
