Chapter 0102 Ella POV Alexander knelt in front of me and took my hand in his .
My breath caught in my chest as I stared at him in disbelief .
We hadnt talked about this beforehand I wasnt prepared .
I could feel the eyes of the other diners on us , and I could already hear the whispers as they realized what was happening .
Ella Rowan , Alexander said steadily , his gaze unwavering .
I know weve only been seeing each other for a month , but its been the best month of my life .
Having you by my side has made me feel more confident and happier .
I hope youll agree to stay by my side as my wife .
From the inner pocket of his suit jacket , Alexander retrieved a small velvet ring box .
I stared , wide eyed , as he revealed a stunning solitaire diamond set on a gold band and held it out to me .
Will you marry me ? I felt my mouth move a few times before the word finally tumbled out .
Yes.
With a radiant smile , Alexander slipped the ring onto my finger .
Applause rippled through the restaurant as Alexander stood and pulled me into his arms , lifting me off my feet .
with the strength of his hug .
I held on tightly , giggling as he spun me in a circle before gently setting me back , down .
The people around us , mostly Alphas and Lunas who no doubt recognized us , cheered and called out their congratulations , I had no doubt that news of our engagement would spread quickly .
That was likely why Alexander had chosen this place this trendy , upscale restaurant was a magnet for people who loved to share stories .
Then , Alexander pulled me into a kiss , catching me by surprise .
I surrendered to it immediately , melting into his embrace as the world around us seemed to fade away .
His touch made my head swim , emotions surging through me , almost overwhelming .
Then , someone in the restaurant whistled teasingly , and I broke away from Alexander , a blush creeping across my face .
Alexander looked amused , his eyes twinkling with mischief as he placed a light kiss on my lips before releasing me from his embrace .
Thank you , he said , turning to the onlookers with a charming grin .
Congratulations ! a few people shouted .
I muttered a quick thank you , then awkwardly returned to my seat .
Alexander sat across from me with a sheepish smile .
Perhaps I should have waited until after our meal , he said .
Tlaughed softly .
Maybe , I agreed .
Its going to feel like everyones staring at us for the rest of the night .
Thankfully , the awkward moment was interrupted by our waiters approach .
A dish was placed in front of me , the savory aroma of roasted meat and herbs filling the air .
I inhaled deeply , savoring the scent .
I glanced at Alexander , who wore a triumphant smile .
Was it a good choice ? he asked , his voice teasing .
It certainly smells wonderful , I replied with a soft smile .
The waiter gave a polite bow before leaving us alone once more .

1 picked up my fork , rolling my eyes at him playfully .
You dont need to be so smug , I muttered .
The dish was rosemary chicken with roasted vegetables .
I took a small bite , and the flavor exploded across my tongue .
I set my fork down and covered my mouth with my hand , stunned .
It was possibly the best dish Id ever tasted .
Alexanders sinug smile grew .
I know youre not a fan of the overly fancy dishes , he said .
So , I had them prepare something off menu just for you .
Its incredible , I said , my eyes wide with appreciation .
So , I wasnt exaggerating when I said I know you well , Alexander teased .
Dont you agree ? Im afraid I must agree , I said with an exaggerated sigh Alexander laughed , and warmth spread through my heart at the sound .
I couldnt help but smile back at him .
I hadnt expected the night to take this turn , but the lightness I felt in my chest was undeniable , a feeling I hadnt experienced in a long time .
