A six-year-old boy with captivating green eyes stood before Scarlett, his earnestness shining through. "Marry me," he said, his voice filled with sincerity, "so I can share one lifetime with you. I'd rather not face the world without your presence."
Confused, Scarlett questioned him, "Liam, why do you want to marry me?"
"I need someone to take care of me," he explained. "To tuck me in, accompany me to school, and play with me when Daddy's not around. I want someone who can make both Daddy and me happy, and love us both."
He sighed and added, "And most importantly, I want Daddy to be happy too."
Liam looked up at Scarlett with hopeful eyes and requested, "Miss Scarlett, could you also give me a brother and a sister?"
Scarlett couldn't help but chuckle, thinking it sounded more like he wanted her to marry his father. "It seems like you're suggesting I become your daddy's wife," she teased.
His eyes lit up, and he eagerly replied, "Oh, Miss Scarlett, I like your idea! I'll go tell Daddy right away!"
Scarlett, now intrigued, wondered if this unexpected turn of events held a deeper meaning for her own happiness.
Her past, marked by abandonment and betrayal, had led her to seek revenge through love. But now, faced with a six-year-old's proposal, she found herself questioning if true love could come in the form of a little boy's wish or if it extended to his dashing father, Kaleb Wright, the heir to the prestigious Wright Diamond Corporation in Braeton City.
As the story unfolds in Book 5 of the Wright Family Series, will Scarlett's heart open to this extraordinary connection, or will she find herself falling for both the child and his daddy?
