Chapter 21 Will You Marry Me?
“You keep saying you love her, yet you’re the one who cheated and broke her heart. Antonio, do you truly love her?
“Or are you just reluctant to give up your public façade as a loving husband?”
Antonio was merely a man who exploited his wife’s fame to build his business and lost himself when the company’s performance declined. He didn’t deserve Alyssa’s love at all.
After the low–key Bentley drove out of the underground garage, Antonio couldn’t help but cover his face and weep.
Meanwhile, Alyssa was sitting with a computer in her hands, wiping away her tears.
But it wasn’t because of her ex–husband; it was because of her loyal fans.
Nearly two years had passed, yet her fan support club remained intact. Every day, her loyal fans would sign in and leave supportive comments, just as they had when she was still around.
“If you really can’t bear to part with your fans, leave it to me. I’ll try to restore your identity.”
Ethan held Alyssa tenderly in his arms, only to hear her refusal.
Alyssa’s reason was straightforward. If the fans learned that she was still alive, the whole course of the incident would take a different turn. The Kaufman Group might still exploit her and keep swindling money from
her fans.

She just couldn’t stand the thought of her fans being deceived.
But for several days, Alyssa was in a mood.

She rarely went out and only had a particular fondness for delicious food. As a result, Ethan had to cook a wide variety of dishes for her.
Whether it was a snack from some remote corner of the world or a complex flavor in a specific dish, he was able to recreate them all, one by
one.
By now, Alyssa no longer saw him simply as a wealthy playboy in the entertainment industry chasing his dreams. However, when she saw a table full of food that could rival the offerings of a five–star hotel chef, she couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.
“Come on, give it a try,” Ethan urged.
Over these days, she had grown used to Ethan’s attentive service. Ever since they became a couple, he always prepared breakfast and brought it to the bed to feed her.
So, she instinctively opened her mouth, ready to taste the fish soup he was about to feed her.
But the moment she caught a whiff of the smell, Alyssa couldn’t hold it in and started to vomit.
A wave of nausea hit her hard, and she rushed straight to the bathroom. Clutching the toilet, she vomited violently. After that, she fainted.
The depression and long–term mental torment had already made her emaciated, but this was the first time she had fainted so suddenly.
Alyssa woke up once more. What greeted her eyes was the ceiling of the hospital, and beside her was Ethan, who was earnestly going over the precautions with the doctor.

The moment Ethan saw her open her eyes, he quickly stepped forward and gently touched her face.
“How are you? Do you still feel unwell?”
Alyssa shook her head. Just as she was about to ask what had happened, she caught sight of Eliana, Ethan’s mother, in the corridor, acting sneaky and furtive.
The door wasn’t shut properly, and Eliana tripped with a loud clang and fell rather miserably.
Immediately after, Eliana grabbed her bag and started hurling it at Ethan, shouting and cursing as she did so.
“You stupid idiot! How could you let Ally suffer so much? You’re so irresponsible!
“She’s pregnant! Why haven’t you proposed to her? You bastard!”
Alyssa touched her belly in disbelief. Was she pregnant?
Was that possible?
After three years of marriage, she hadn’t gotten pregnant. She once thought she was infertile, so she and Ethan didn’t take any contraceptive
measures.
But now was she pregnant?
On the other side, Eliana, having finished venting her anger, quickly composed herself and took Alyssa’s hand.
“Ally, it’s all my fault for not bringing him up better! I’ll give him a good scolding for you. From now on, we’ll surely protect you. If he dares to fool around outside, I won’t spare him!”

Not long after, Caleb and Paisley also arrived.

They brought the jewelry, asset transfer documents, and even company share transfer agreements along with them.
Alyssa was reluctant to accept these, and she tried to get Ethan, who was kneeling on the ground, to stand up.
Paisley gently stroked Ethan’s head and suggested Alyssa that mere sweet talk was of little use. The most practical thing was to firmly hold wealth and power.
After Alyssa signed the documents, Eliana removed the family–heirloom necklace from around her own neck and put it on Alyssa. After offering a great deal of reassurance, they left to prepare for the engagement party.
Even after all of them left, Ethan stood up.
His heart was completely occupied by Alyssa, and his eyes were brimming with love.
“Ally, will you marry me?”
