The Villain Mom Awakens — Going Viral by Parenting on a Reality Show

Chapter 473 - 475: The Grand Finale

Naomi Kenway smiled and glanced at Ethan Shaw. "Alright, so you’ve all been hiding this from me for so long."

Ian rushed into Naomi Kenway’s arms and nuzzled against her. "Mommy, you’re so amazing! I was watching you accept the award from down there, and I was so moved I almost cried..."

"Really?" Naomi Kenway smiled, teasing him. "Where are the tears? Let me see."

Ian tilted his head up, letting Naomi Kenway get a good look. "See, Mommy? It’s true, right?"

Naomi Kenway caressed his smooth, supple cheeks and couldn’t resist leaning down to plant a kiss on them.

Everyone who passed by congratulated Naomi Kenway and praised her acting, and she responded to each of them with humility.

Feeling a tap on her shoulder, Naomi Kenway turned to see a smiling Ruby Preston, her eyes filled with emotion. "Congratulations, Naomi. I still remember the countless days and nights you spent on set, staying up to pore over your script. I’m truly, sincerely happy for you. You still have a long road ahead of you. Keep going!"

"Thank you, Hazel Preston. I’m so grateful for your guidance and support back then."

Ruby Preston’s gaze softened. "Come visit me at home when you have time," she said.

As soon as Ruby Preston left, Rose Kenway frowned and asked, "Do you often stay up late when you’re on set?"

Naomi Kenway scratched her forehead. "Occasionally..."

Rose Kenway said disapprovingly, "That’s not acceptable. Staying up late is terrible for your health. You can’t do that anymore. When I get home, I’ll have Nanny Summers make you some nourishing soup."

She then turned to Ethan Shaw. "Ethan, you need to keep a close eye on her."

Ethan Shaw nodded, accepting the order. He leaned toward Naomi Kenway and said quietly, "Even if you don’t listen to me, you have to listen to Mom. Staying up late is bad for your health, so don’t do it anymore."

Ian piped up, "I’ll help keep an eye on Mommy too! Don’t you worry, Grandma!"

Rose Kenway smiled and stroked Ian’s cheek.

"Alright, I won’t stay up late anymore. You can all keep an eye on me," Naomi Kenway said with a smile, taking Rose Kenway’s hand. ’It feels so wonderful to be surrounded and cared for by my family.’

Hearing Naomi Kenway’s promise, Rose Kenway smiled and patted her hand. "That’s my girl. Your health is your greatest asset; you have to treat it as your top priority."

Naomi Kenway nestled against Rose Kenway and nodded obediently.

After the award win came a barrage of interviews from major entertainment reporters.

Naomi Kenway was waylaid by reporters and interviewed for a long time.

When the allotted time was up, the reporters had to leave for the time being, however reluctant they were.

As Naomi Kenway and her family left the main hall, they were still surrounded by cameras. As the most watched person of the night, countless flashbulbs were focused on her.

"Ms. Kenway, look here, over here!"

"One look, Ms. Kenway!"

"Over here, over here!"

...

Naomi Kenway obliged, striking a few poses for their cameras.

The moment she stepped out of the hall, Naomi Kenway heard a sudden collective gasp from the crowd. She followed their gazes and looked up at the sky.

A fleet of helicopters hovered in the sky, forming two words: "Marry me."

After a moment of surprise, Naomi Kenway smiled. "Today really is a special day. Someone chose today to propose. How romantic."

The cameraman following her dutifully kept the camera raised as the livestream chat exploded with comments:

[That’s so many helicopters, it’s making my head spin. How much must this have cost...]

[Which scion is proposing? This is disgustingly rich!!]

[My corpse is feeling a bit unwell, I’m logging off. You guys enjoy the show.]

[Wow, this looks so magical! Blessings to them!]

[Anyone know the location? I wanna go watch! Even a peasant like me wants to see this!]

...

Naomi Kenway watched as the helicopters in the sky broke formation and reassembled, this time spelling out a name: "Nina."

The moment the name appeared, dazzling fireworks burst in the air, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Put together, the words read:

Marry me, Nina.

Naomi Kenway was a little stunned. ’What a coincidence,’ she thought, ’the woman he’s proposing to has the same name as me.’

"Will you marry me, Nina?"

A deep, sentimental voice pulled Naomi Kenway from her reverie.

Ethan Shaw was down on one knee, pulling a diamond ring from his pocket. His gaze was reverent and sincere.

His fingers trembled slightly. Despite having acted through countless similar scenes, he was still nervous—more nervous than he had ever been, like a flustered, inexperienced young man.

Only then did Naomi Kenway notice how impeccably dressed Ethan Shaw was. His suit was pristine, without a single crease. His bangs were slicked back, revealing a smooth forehead, and his tightly pressed lips betrayed his inner tension.

[Holy crap, the stars of the show are Nina and President Shaw! No wonder it’s so extravagant!]

[So the "Nina" is her! When I was taking a cab to work today, I saw "Marry me, Nina" on buses, taxis, and all kinds of billboards. I even took a picture and posted it on social media. Turns out Nina is actually living the life of a novel heroine. Tears in my eyes... I’m just an NPC...]

[It wasn’t just on vehicles and billboards! Today, any business under the Shaw Group could get their purchase for free just by posting congratulations to President Shaw and Nina!]

[Now you’re talking! That woke me right up! Where’s the address? Spit it out!]

[The Shaw Group owns a ton of businesses across every industry. A quick search will pull them up.]

[Why is he proposing? Aren’t they already married?]

[I heard Nina say on a show before that she and President Shaw met through an arranged setup, one of those high-society marriage alliances. I guess he’s proposing now to make up for what they missed back then.]

[Waaaaah, this is so touching! True love finds a way! They have to be happy together forever!!]

[I hereby declare that the CP I ship is the sweetest of all!!]

"Everything was so rushed when we got together, even our marriage. There’s so much I failed to give you, and I want to make up for it all now." Ethan Shaw gazed steadily into Naomi Kenway’s eyes, swallowing hard. "I love you, Nina. Will you... marry me?"

"Say yes! Say yes!"

At some point, a crowd had gathered around them, filled with her friends and industry colleagues. Rose Kenway held Ian in her arms, and the little boy shouted with all his might. Among them all, Luke Lowell was the loudest, clapping his hands excitedly and hyping the atmosphere to a fever pitch.

Naomi Kenway lowered her gaze to the man before her. In that instant, the scene merged with the proposal she had fantasized about as a young girl dreaming of love.

Naomi Kenway’s heart swelled with an indescribable joy and happiness.

She held out her slender hand, her voice trembling just as much as his had. "I will."

Ethan Shaw carefully slid the ring onto Naomi Kenway’s finger, then raised her hand to his lips for a gentle kiss.

The bands of the matching pair of diamond rings were engraved with "JN" and "XY" respectively, and they gleamed in the light.

As the cheers from the crowd grew even more enthusiastic, Ethan Shaw excitedly pulled Naomi Kenway into his arms and captured her lips in a kiss.

They would be happy forever.

At that moment, both Naomi Kenway and Ethan Shaw believed this with all their hearts.

They would be happy forever.
