Chapter 479:
Jenessa felt a wave of confusion at Ryan’s unexpected question.
“Haven’t I already promised to give us another chance? Isn’t it natural for me to talk about the future p>
She was taken aback by Ryan’s intense reaction to such a simple word.
“It’s more than that,” Ryan replied softly, lowering his gaze. He gently took her hand in his lap and continued, “What I want goes beyond just trying again. I envision a future where we are not just trying, but where our little family stays together forever, never apart p>
He echoed what had played out in Jenessa’s dream the previous night.
Jenessa gazed at his striking face. Her heart stirred deeply by his words.
It turned out that he shared the same sentiment.
Jenessa held her breath for a moment, trying not to appear too excited.
Her breath caught for a moment. She held it in, not wanting to appear too eager.

The question caught her off guard. The calm she had fought to regain was shattered, and her breath quickened.
“I don’t want to make you mad, so I won’t do it without your permission,” Ryan added, his voice tinged with hesitation.

His cautious behavior amused her, and she burst into laughter, her smile widening.
Ryan frowned, confused.
“What’s so funny p>
Jenessa looked at him, a teasing glint in her eyes.

Her words struck a nerve. Irritated, Ryan hesitated for a moment before lifting his hand to gently but firmly grip Jenessa’s chin, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
