Three months passed quickly at the grand city estate.
The cold white marble halls felt warm and full of life now.
Colorful toys were organized neatly near the staircase.
Victoria had moved into a private luxury retirement villa downtown.
She had agreed to give up her executive corporate seat completely.
Diego and Sarah worked together daily running the business.
They spent every weekend taking Paulina to the park nearby.
On a bright sunny afternoon, Diego walked into the garden.
Sarah was sitting on a bench watching Paulina run around.
Diego sat down beside Sarah on the wooden garden bench.
He pulled a small red velvet box out of his jacket pocket.
Sarah looked at the small box with wide curious eyes.
Sarah: Diego, what is that small box in your hand?
Diego opened the velvet box to reveal a simple ring.
It was not a giant diamond meant for corporate show.
It was a sweet custom ring with three small matching emeralds.
Diego: This ring represents you, me, and our daughter.
Sarah: Diego, are you sure about this decision?
Diego: I have never been more sure of anything in my life.
Diego: Will you marry me and build a real family here?
Sarah felt happy tears fill her eyes as she smiled wide.
Sarah: Yes, Diego, I will marry you.
Paulina ran over from the green grass with big smiles.
She jumped into both of their arms at the same time.
Paulina: Are we staying together forever now, Mommy?
Sarah: Yes, my sweet girl, we are staying together forever.
Diego hugged them both tightly under the bright warm sun.
He realized that real wealth was never about money or luxury.
True wealth was holding the people you love close to you.
