Mr. and Mrs. Walker spoke to Mr. King for some time, when Edward asked the butler, “Where is Ethan?”
Butler bowed in respect and replied, “Young master, he keeps himself busy with orphanage work”
Edward felt a little uneasy without Ethan, he wanted him here.
As they were chatting, Mrs. King came out of her bedroom followed by two maids; she smiled warmly at Autumn and sat next to her.
She took Autumn’s hands in her hands and said, “Looking at Edward, your wait was worth”
“You got me the most beautiful daughter-in-law, I am proud of you”
Edward smiled proudly, Autumn also felt so good in this atmosphere, Edward’s family was not a typical rich family, who would like to have a rich girl as their daughter-in-law.
After having a peaceful and happy dinner with Edward’s parents they left for Edward’s place.
It was almost 10 pm when they reached home, all were tired and headed to their bedroom and slept.
Edward was still awake and was in his study room, working on something, after talking to Zack for some time he went back to his bedroom and saw his princess sleeping peacefully on the bed, as it was already 11. 30 pm.
Autumn was sleeping in the middle of the bed and that too in a posture that no one else can sleep on the bed, even though the bed was king size her sleeping posture was like she was running in a race.
Edward smiled and went to the bathroom, after changing his clothes he came to bed and picked little Autumn in his arms in bridal style, and walked towards the rooftop of the mansion.
The rooftop was decorated very nicely with mostly greenery; it was a very nice garden view of the rooftop.
He sat on a swing with Autumn sleeping in his arms, a cold breeze was touching their skin.
Edward never felt so satisfied in the past whenever he sat on this swing but today it felt like it was heaven.
He looked down and saw Autumn sleeping peacefully holding his shirt tightly.
Soon it was time, and Autumn who was sleeping peacefully in some comfortable zone suddenly felt a strong lightening in her eyes. She opened her eyes and tried to adjust her eyes with the lights.
She was startled seeing the view, the whole sky was filled with the lighting crackers, and a message was flashing, “Happy Birthday Love”
At this moment it hit her that it was her birthday today, she turned her face and saw Edward looking at her smiling, and before she could recover the shock and happiness of what she just saw.
She heard choppers sound when she again turned towards the sky, she saw two choppers holding a big banner with the message, “I love you Autumn”
Her eyes were filled with tears, this guy will definitely give her a heart attack giving so much happiness altogether.
And again in a few minutes, she heard some voice, when she noticed properly it was a drone.
The drone flew closer to her but maintaining a safe distance from her, it has a display, on which a message a popping up, “A Gift for you”
Then her eyes fell on the bag the drone was carrying, she took the bag and opened it, and found a small jewelry box.
She took it out and opened it. It was a Pink Legacy diamond. It was one of the rare and most expensive diamonds.
Her eyes were filled with tears again; she stood up from Edward’s lap and looked at him.
He had a pleasant smile on his face, he said calmly and smoothly, “I will not force you to wear this ring today”
“I just wanted to give you on the day that it becomes a memorable day for our lives”
“If you agree to marry me by this weekend, please wear it, if not then you can throw this in the garbage”
Autumn was dumbstruck by his words, as she was prisoned in her home she had a hobby of reading novels, in those novels it always mentioned that billionaire’s force girl to marry them if they love them”
“They don’t ask for the girl’s opinion”
But here in her life things are weird; out of nowhere Edward popped up in her life and proposed to her for marriage.
He is doing everything in his capacity to please her, he wants to marry her but not by force but with her consent.
Autumn was not able to understand what to do right now, her body automatically flung in his arms.
She murmured beneath her breath, “I don’t know what to do”
But Edward heard her, he smiled kissed her forehead, and said, “Don’t rush yourself, don’t put too much pressure on your little brain, just let your heart take the call”
Autumn nodded and broke the hug, Edward leaned forward, pecked her lips, and said, “Happy birthday my love”
Autumn blushed hard, and she was able to nod to his wish.
After that, they both came back to their bedroom, where another surprise was waiting for Autumn.
The surprise Autumn had on the rooftop was too much for her, she was still not out of it, but when she entered her bedroom she saw a big portrait on a painting stand covered with a red silk cloth.
She turned to look at Edward who was standing behind her with a faint smile on his face, he held her wrist and walked towards the painting stand.
They both stood in front of the painting, Edward kissed her knuckles gently and said, “Open this, and you have to keep this gift with you even if we are together or not”
Autumn was running out of patience, she immediately pulled the cloth down, and seeing the picture she was unable to hold back her tears.
It was a picture of her with her parents, she was hardly five years old when that photo was clicked.
She was in her mother’s arms and her dad was hugging both of them, they had a charming smile on their faces.
They looked so happy, a happy family.
Edward held her in his arms and said wiping her tears, “Fool, I didn’t give this gift to make you cry”
Autumn said in between hiccups, “I didn’t had a single photo of my parents, thanks you so much”
