Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 1094 - 1090: Will You Marry Me? (2000+)

Watching Nicholas Croft holding a bouquet of roses and walking toward her, Beatrice Hargrave covered her mouth in surprise, standing at the center of the stage, she actually forgot to take her bow.

The audience below the stage also widened their eyes in curiosity, holding their breath and watching the graceful man slowly approach Beatrice Hargrave.

Standing in front of Beatrice, before taking action, Nicholas Croft licked his lips, gazed into Beatrice’s eyes, and slowly lowered himself to one knee on the stage.

His dark eyes shimmered with sincere lights as he said passionately into the microphone, "Mia, will you marry me?"

As Nicholas Croft’s proposal echoed throughout the venue, the air was filled with gasps, and the shock reached beyond just Beatrice’s fans, but also the guests Nicholas had invited to cheer on the event.

As one of the top ten moguls in the entertainment industry, Nicholas Croft has always kept a low profile about his love life. Even when he was with Sophie Foster, the media only caught glimpses, but without his permission, no news agency dared to publish any news about his personal relationships.

In the past three years, aside from the public’s belief that Hannah Hargrave was his girlfriend, there were no rumors about him and any other woman.

The news about him and Hannah Hargrave was mostly orchestrated by Hannah herself. Initially, news agencies were wary of Nicholas’s potential wrath, so they reported ambiguously. Later, as Nicholas showed no reaction, the reports sensationalized the topic more aggressively...

The entire entertainment industry and all major media outlets believed that Hannah Hargrave was to be the future Madam of the entertainment mogul Nicholas Croft, but unexpectedly, it turned out, he loved someone else.

However, to the entire entertainment world, Beatrice Hargrave’s identity was somewhat sensitive. She’s Hannah Hargrave’s younger sister who had just returned from overseas, and barely six months after her return, she took her sister’s man...

But, these are later stories. At this moment, Beatrice looked at the sincere man in front of her, with her lips under her palm trembling slightly. Although she was smiling, glittering tears rolled from her beautiful eyes, those were tears of happiness.

The lips under her palm were also bitten to the point of drawing blood.

This was a scene that had appeared in her dreams countless times. Ever since she lived with Uncle Nicholas, she repeatedly dreamt of it, but it was only dreams. She never dared to hope, due to the disparity in their status, she always felt inferior in front of Uncle Nicholas.

Taking a deep breath, Beatrice smiled, tears rolling uncontrollably.

This man had planned it all along, yet throughout all these days of rehearsals, he hadn’t revealed a single hint to her.

Sniffling, Beatrice teased out loud, "Uncle Nicholas, you’re so bad!"

"Mia, will you marry me?" Without hearing her answer, Nicholas asked once again. The high-status man, at this moment, proposed to his girl in front of both the media and the public, without feeling any loss of face, looking up at Beatrice, he solemnly pledged.

"Perhaps I can’t give you the entire world, but I will place it at your feet!"

Looking at the sincere man, Beatrice never knew that her Uncle Nicholas could speak such beautiful words and propose so romantically, and at her concert no less.

Happiness came too suddenly for the twenty-one-year-old girl, leaving her unsure of how to react.

In the audience, someone suddenly shouted toward the stage, "Marry him..." then the chant started building into a tidal wave.

...Beatrice, quickly say yes...

Marry him, marry him...

Mia Foster, holding onto Felix Shaw’s arm, looked up at him and asked, "Do all of you brothers often hit on women? Otherwise, how could you plan such a romantic proposal?"

Felix Shaw turned his gaze back, his peach blossom eyes filled with amusement, "Honey, you got it wrong, among all of us, only your husband is the most romantic, the rest are all sticks in the mud."

"Tch," Mia scoffed disdainfully, "Stop bragging, look over there!" As she spoke, she motioned with her eyes toward Nathan Moore and Titus Zane. Felix Shaw followed her gaze, at this moment, Titus was intently staring at the stage, visibly tense, while Nathan took advantage of her focused attention on the stage to gently stroke her long hair.

His clearly-defined fingers ran from the top of her head down to the tip, capturing a lock of hair to his nose, closing his eyes slightly in a look of intoxication.

"Tsk tsk, so mushy," Felix Shaw grimaced with disdain, never realizing that his second brother, such a cold-blooded man, could have such a tender side.

Evander Lancaster, from behind, cupped his hands around his mouth to join in the ruckus, Felix Shaw turned his head, glaring at him in annoyance, "Why are you joining in the mess? If you have the guts, find a woman and propose in front of the media too!"

Evander Lancaster put down his hands, speechless, not knowing how he had offended Felix, seeing Felix’s unhappy look, suddenly got a mischievous idea.

His lips curled into a smile as he leaned close to Mia Foster, "If I remember correctly, Felix never proposed to you, did he?"

"Nonsense, we went through every procedure. We got engaged, then married!" Felix Shaw interrupted Evander’s words with displeasure, but as soon as he finished, Evander smirked maliciously, "Oh, if you hadn’t brought it up, I almost forgot. When you got engaged to her, it seemed you weren’t too willing,"

Recalling old matters, especially in front of Mia, Felix Shaw deflected with guilt, "Stop talking nonsense, Fourth Brother, I’m warning you, don’t let your jealousy over me and Mia’s love life let you badmouth us. Let me tell you, Mia and I are very much in love, my Mia is smart and sensible, she won’t listen to a villain like you!"

After a round of scolding, Felix Shaw turned back, dominantly holding Mia Foster, saying, "Honey, don’t listen to him. He’s just jealous of us couples showing off. So come on, give hubby a kiss to spice it up for him!"

With that, Felix Shaw’s handsome face leaned in.

From a nearby spot, Titus Zane was tightly holding a glow stick, watching Nicholas Croft proposing to Sophie Foster, feeling just as nervous.

Sophie was closer to her over those years. Despite being unaware of what happened during the three years she was gone, or how Sophie suddenly became a rich family’s daughter, she had always known about Sophie’s love for Nicholas Croft.

A girl not yet twenty did not know how to conceal her feelings. Her open and enthusiastic personality showed her love for Nicholas in her actions.

Such a pure girl deserves happiness, at least more than she does.

"Mia, would you let me take care of you for a lifetime?" Amidst the crowd’s shouts, Nicholas Croft spoke again. This time, Beatrice did not hesitate and smilingly extended her hand, "I will," the words dropped together with her tears of joy.
