Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 488 - 264: I’ve Locked You Up Too (First Update)

Chapter 488: Chapter 264: I’ve Locked You Up Too (First Update)

Kenneth Osborne: "..."

He didn’t mention it again, but after going to work, he left half an hour early, and went to a store of Nora’s favorite jewelry brand to buy a pair of understated engagement rings for men and women.

The diamond in the woman’s ring was only 0.75 carats, elegantly set, understated in style, perfect for everyday wear.

Returning home, he went to Nora’s room, seeing her looking like she’d just woken up, her hair a bit tousled, idly sitting on the chaise lounge by the window.

"Nora?" Kenneth knocked on the door just for formality since it was open.

Nora turned her head, seeing Kenneth, she smiled and said, "You left just before I fell asleep, and you’re back when I wake up. It’s like you never left during that time."

"You can think of it that way." Kenneth walked over, took out the pair of rings he bought, and said, "Nora, the engagement ring I bought for you last time isn’t suitable for everyday wear, so I bought another pair, let’s both wear them?"

He needed to give the men who still had intentions toward Nora a warning.

Although being engaged wasn’t much, it was still more legitimate than all those pursuit without any status.

Nora initially wanted to decline, but upon seeing the ring in the box—generous, understated, yet exquisite in detail—she instantly loved it and said, "Then you put mine on me, and I’ll put yours on you."

Kenneth nodded, first slipping the ring onto Nora’s left middle finger, indicating engagement.

Nora followed suit, putting the man’s ring on Kenneth’s left middle finger.

"Oh no, many ladies will be heartbroken and cry. You’re already locked by me." After putting on the ring, Nora casually wrapped her arms around Kenneth’s neck.

Kenneth smiled, gently touching her fingers, and said, "Many men will also be disappointed and sad because you’re locked by me too."

"Then that’s mutual." Nora laughed and pecked Kenneth on the lips.

Naturally, Kenneth didn’t waste the opportunity, and kissed her seriously for a while before letting her go, saying, "In a couple of days, I’ll be moving my stuff over to my place. You promised to live with me."

"Yes, I keep my promises." Nora felt a bit more refreshed, "Have you bought daily essentials over there?"

"Not yet, but we can order online and have them delivered directly there."

"That works too." With something to do, Nora began to order all the daily essentials online according to Kenneth’s list, sending them directly to Kenneth’s new address.

She also placed separate orders for her clothes and skincare, makeup products.

She even helped add many items to the shopping cart for Kenneth.

Throughout the night, she bought a lot of things successively.

Some items she paid for herself, others Kenneth did.

Originally, Kenneth just wanted her to add to the cart, and he’d check them out for her.

But she felt a bit embarrassed.

An honorable person earns honestly.

She wasn’t without money, anyway. Since they were living together and Kenneth had already bought the house, she’d pay for her things herself.

The next morning, she woke up early, feeling refreshed all over.

After washing up in the bathroom, she deliberately put on that ring.

Coming out for breakfast, Gabrielle Winters quickly noticed the engagement ring on Nora’s middle finger, smiling and saying, "Now that’s more like it. I was wondering why you guys weren’t wearing the rings."

Kenneth was also sitting next to Nora at breakfast, wearing a matching ring on his left middle finger. It was obvious they were a pair.

Nick Zeller snorted and muttered, "...Childish."

The Daoist happily ate the beef noodle soup he made himself, showing a satisfied expression.

After breakfast, Kenneth smiled politely, "Aunt Gabrielle, Uncle Nick, and venerable Daoist, in a few days, Nora will be moving to live with me. Don’t worry though, I’ll bring her back on weekends."

"Oh, you’ve already planned it all out and still pretend to discuss it with us? Would you listen if we disagreed?" Nick said resentfully, feeling quite sad.

He had no children of his own, and having raised Nora, he was truly reluctant to let her go.

Kenneth smiled, saying nothing.

Nora quickly said, "Uncle, if you disagree, I won’t go. Plus, I swear I’ll never marry in this lifetime! I’ll just stay with you, Mom, and Master Grandpa, the four of us together, okay?"

Gabrielle immediately frowned and said to Nick, "Enough, Brother, how long are you going to keep this up? Children grow up and should leave home! When she was little, I let her go with you to see feng shui, and now that she’s grown, you don’t want to let her leave?"

Nick was scolded by Gabrielle and replied sheepishly, "I’m not disagreeing, it’s just a bit hard to take, alright? Do you want me to say, Nora, go on, hurry and get out of here, go trouble someone else! —— Would that make you happy?"

"Hey! Uncle! How am I a trouble?" Nora widened her eyes, "I’m a good girl who can both earn money and take care of a home!"

"Right, right, good girl, I’m lucky." Kenneth patted her head, looked up at Nick, and said, "Uncle Nick, I know you don’t mind. After all, I grew up in front of you too. Do you still not trust me? By the way, have you worked out the date for my and Nora’s wedding?"

Nick naturally got sidetracked, scratching his head, "I’ve picked a few dates, but I’m not quite satisfied. I’ll have to consult with Master Grandpa again..."

The Daoist finished his last sip of beef soup and contentedly wiped his mouth with a napkin, saying, "Just pick one, as long as you can get married."

Nora: "..."

Kenneth pursed his lips, asking Nora, "Do you want to go now? I can take you."

Nora nodded, stood up, and said, "Let’s go together."

Nick tried to be nice and said, "Nora, I’ll pick you up from work today. Since you’re engaged, and I haven’t given you a gift, how about a car?"
