“Oh my gosh, this is the best day ever,” she said as tears filled her eyes.
King chuckled, pressing a kiss to the side of her head. “Just wait, baby. It’s about to getbetter.”
After dinner, the two of them walked to a nearby park to get some air before heading home. Ella slipped her hand into King’s, squeezing it.
“Thank you,” she said. “Foreverything. My life issomuch better because of you.”
King’s heart swelled.
He stopped walking, turning to face her completely.
“I’m glad I changed your life, baby,” he said softly. “But there’s one more thing I want to change.”
Ella frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
King reached into his pocket, pulling out asmall velvet box before dropping to one knee.
Ella’s breathcaught in her throat.
When he flipped it open, revealing a stunning diamond ring, her handsflewto her mouth.
“I wanna change your last name, Little one.”
Ellasqueaked. “Are you proposing to me right now?”
King chuckled. “Iam. I know it’s quick, but I knew you were meant to be mine the second I met you. I want to give you everything you’ve always dreamed of. You make me so happy, and I want to spend the rest of my life as your husband and Daddy. Will you marry me, dollface?”
Ellalaunchedherself at him, knocking him backward onto the grass. “Yes!”
Kinglaughed as she peppered kisses all over his face.
Right then, King knew he was truly the luckiest man in the world.
