Halsey’s heart skipped a beat when he mentioned marriage .
“ Who would I marry ? ” she asked without thinking .
Sure enough , that earned her a playful punishment . Shaun leaned and bit her soft , rosy lips .
“ Ow ! ” Halsey winced . “ That hurt ! ”
Shaun looked at her , heat in his eyes . “ Good . Who do you wanna inrry ? ”

“ Is there someone else besides me ? I’m asking whether you’ve ever considered marrying me . ”
Marrying him .
It all felt so sudden . They had only just made up . But then again, if not for what happened three years ago , maybe they would’ve already been married by now .
“ Do you want to marry me ? ” she asked him back .
Shaun wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close . “ Yes , I do . What about you ? ”
What about her ?
Halsey could hear the pounding of her own heart – it was beating so fast .
Shaun straightened up .
“ Marry me . I used to have nothing , but now I’ve built a life . I can give you everything you deserve . I never dared to dream you’d actually marry me back then , but now , I want this . I’ve missed you every single day for the past three years . I couldn’t even sleep . Do you know what it’s like to long for someone that much ? I’ve never felt this way about anyone before . I love you so , so much . ”
He was confessing his love for her .
With the warm steam surrounding them from the shower , his voice came low and hoarse , just above a whisper , because Bella was still nearby . But that deep , raspy voice right in her ear completely broke down her defenses .
He was pouring out three years of longing .
He said he loved her very much .
Halsey looked into his eyes. They were burning with emotion , so intense it felt like she might melt .
Shaun gently cupped her face in his hands . “ Will you marry me ? ”
She could hear her heartbeat racing like crazy . Inside , she was screaming yes .
Halsey nodded . “ I will ! ”
She wanted to marry him . She wanted to be his wife .
Shaun leaned down and kissed her , giving her a deep , passionate kiss as his answer .
Halsey threw her arms around his neck and kissed him back just as eagerly . “ Once we get the Snowpeak Bloom , and your face is healed , let’s get married . ”
Shaun nodded . “ Alright . My face will get better , and I’ll look just like I used to – the way you loved . ”
Halsey wanted to tell him that she already loved him just the way he was now . His face didn’t matter .
When she looked at him , all she felt was more heartache , not disgust . But Shaun kissed her again before she could get the words out .
Somewhere in the haze , she heard him whisper softly in her ear , “ let’s have a baby . ”

Bella was taken home by Wendy . Lately , Stanley had been going through a lot physically , so Wendy was constantly busy .
Meanwhile , Shaun and Halsey set off for Lhassaria , beginning the search for the Snowpeak Bloom , a flower that only bloomed once every 50 years . It was the key to healing Shaun’s face .
They reached Lhassaria quickly and checked into a local guesthouse .
The owner greeted them warmly . “ Are you two here on honeymoon ? ”
Shaun and Halsey were so close these days , anyone looking at them would assume they were husband and wife .
Halsey didn’t correct him . After all , she and Shaun were about to get married soon .
