The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1373

Chapter 1373 

Jacob saw Belinda fall silent, and his brows furrowed, “What? You don’t wanna marry me? Think I’m just a plain worker and not good enough for you? If that’s the case, how can you say you’re serious about us?” 

Belinda quickly shook her head. “No, I was just a bit taken aback by your sudden proposal. You spooked me.” 

Jacob suddenly put down his fork and grabbed Belinda’s hand anxiously. “I really like you; that’s why I worry when you’re alone with other guys. I promise, I’ll work my tail off to give you a good life. I love you! Be my wife, will ya?” 

Belinda was stunned; her feelings were all over the place. It wasn’t her heart beating like a drum, nor was it butterflies. She wasn’t even moved by her boyfriend’s confession. 

At this moment, the colleagues nearby overheard Jacob’s proposal and started making a racket. 

“Marry him!” 

“Marry him! Marry him!” 

Other colleagues also cast curious glances as they joined the chorus. 

“Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!” 

Jacob heard his colleagues’ support, grinned, and then got down on one knee, gazing at Belinda affectionately. “Let our colleagues bear witness to our happiness; marry me, will ya?” 

Belinda blushed. “I…” 

“What’s all the hullabaloo? What’s going on here?” 

A smooth male voice suddenly interrupted the cafeteria’s lively atmosphere. 

Recognizing Mr. Larios’ voice, the rowdy employees immediately quieted down and went back to their meals. 

One employee stood up, smiling as he explained. “Mr. Larios, Jacob’s proposing to his girlfriend, and we’re all cheering him on.” 

“Oh? A proposal, huh?” Chase walked over to Jacob and Belinda’s table, giving them a deep look. 

Jacob was still on his knees as he awkwardly said, “Mr. Larios, I’m proposing to my girlfriend. It’s our lunch break. You don’t mind, do you?” 

Chase smiled. “What if I say that I kinda do? What are you gonna do?” 

Jacob frowned suspiciously. “I don’t get what you’re miffed about.” 

Chase stared at him. “I’m miffed that you’re proposing like this; you’re making us guys look bad.” 

Jacob was taken aback. “I really don’t get it. What’s so embarrassing about proposing like this?”
