Shock, bewilderment, confusion, surprise, astonishment all washed over Tiana's face.

Did he just fake-propose to her in front of his whole family?!

Tiana didn't even want to think about the repercussions of what he had just done.

Michelle dug the pit, but he just made matters worse by pushing them right into it. She didn't even know how to reply, her throat was so dry from shock.

''Beautiful, will you marry me? ''

Nicklaus asked again, pulling Tiana from her daze; if she was thinking she had misheard earlier, his voice resounding in her ears at that moment proved that she had not heard wrong.

He was gazing at her so intently, deep emotions engraved in his eyes. If she didn't know that he was just faking it, she would have really thought he meant it. But what was his plan? Tiana wondered, but she knew that there was no time to think about that. She had to play her part.
