Chapter 9

Raymond’s POV

“Let's get married” She sputtered and I froze. I was too astounded to say a word.

“I know this sounds weird, and I am not in the position to say something like this, but—”

“But what?”

“I am willing to do anything to help you get that company” She said with so much conviction.

“What are you talking about?" I asked, still stunned, that she would propose such a thing. 

“You don't have to hide it, your mum told me everything” She explained.

“I know she did. Which was why you agreed to the date without a second thought?” 

“That’s not the case” Natasha paused to observe my face, “I know messed things up when I chose Daniel, but you are whom I really wanted. And I only realized that when I moved to France”

She left her seat to meet me, “I still love you, Raymond—as a friend, and romantically. And I will do anything to make you happy”

“Even bearing me a child?” I scoffed in disbelief.
