Healing my disabled husband

Chapter 1070 She Already Said Yes

Ridge was actually very nervous. He never knew that he could sometimes stumble over his words. Of course, Ridge didn't realize that he was talking like a chatterbox right now, blabbering on and on about things that didn't really matter.

Despite this, Mia was crying uncontrollably.

This broke Ben's heart.

Ben even wanted to pull Ridge aside and talk some sense into him. But how could he do that? He couldn't risk upsetting his daughter. She seemed so soft-spoken and gentle, easily swayed by Ridge's charm. They had been together for years without any clear direction or commitment.

But Ben knew better than to say anything negative about Ridge. If he did, the first person who would turn against him would be his own daughter - the one person whose opinion mattered most to him.

He had always hoped to keep Mia around for a few more years before she settled down with anyone - unlike Beata and Mikayla who got married as soon as they turned 18.

But just because Mia hadn't gotten married yet didn't mean Ben wasn't worried about her future with Ridge.

Right now, as Ridge poured out his heart in front of everyone present at the gathering - their parents, uncles and aunts, cousins... everyone important in their lives - there wasn't much Ben could do but accept i all gracefully.

Ridge took out a box from his pocket and knelt down in front of Mia while she tried to pull him up by holding onto his hand tightly.

Ridge opened the box slowly while looking at Mia intently before saying, "Mia... today is special because everyone we love is here with us today- our parents, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters- all those people who are important in our lives are here today... and I want you to know how much I love you."

As soon as those last words left Ridge's mouth, "Will you marry me?" tears welled up in both their eyes; twenty long years of waiting finally came true for them both.

For twenty long years since childhood when they were still figuring out what love meant, they had only each other on their minds; building dreams together of having a family someday which now seemed within reach.

And so it happened- two hearts beating as one finally came together under one roof surrounded by family members cheering them on; ready to start building their own little home filled with love, happiness and laughter!

When he reached the legal age for marriage, he wanted to propose to Mia. However, at that time, he still felt that his wings needed to be more fully developed.

Now, he had achieved it. He can cast aside everything and confidently tell everyone that he can take care of Mia and give her happiness.

So even though Ridge knew that choosing to propose on this occasion today might really get him killed by his father, he chose to do so without hesitation.

Today was the day when all important people were present. He couldn't think of a more perfect day than today.

Mia nodded vigorously and said, "I do."

"I do" had always been "I do". Ever since Ridge kissed her on the stairs in middle school, she had already agreed.

Ridge was truly excited and tears fell from his eyes instantly. He quickly wiped away the tears and took out the ring before putting it on Mia's finger.

Ridge devoutly kissed Mia's hand before standing up. Regardless of how many elders were present or how many younger siblings or children were around them, Ridge grabbed the back of Mia's head and kissed her passionately.
