As Kingsley was kissing her fervently, Sherman asked, "The room is paid anyway. We can stay here tonight, right? I'm sure when Luke knows about it, he'll be so angry that he cannot sleep all night."
"You are naughty." Kingsley obliged.
"But I believe he's pissed off now. His ploy didn't work, but it did us such a great favor! " Sherman lay on the bed. She felt so happy and comfortable.
Kingsley picked the ring in Paris a long time ago. It was a limited edition. It was very beautiful. The ring was engraved with the words, H and W.
The H stood for Holmes, and the W stood
for Wright.
Kingsley used to think it was too naive to engrave names on a ring. But when he had the ring engraved, he felt such joy and it meant so much to him. He was so deeply in love. He couldn’t help himself.
Kissing Sherman’s cheek and forehead, Kingsley said, "Thank you! Thank you for agreeing to marry me. I had been nervous for a long time. It wasn't until I heard you say yes that my heart finally settled down...
"You know what? Just before when I said yes, I felt like in a trance. I didn't think about it at all. It was not because of your love, or those moving words you said, but because of the nervousness in your eyes. I a m so ordinary, but why would you be nervous about me? Seeing the nervousness in your eyes, I was touched ..."
Kingsley smiled. Then he lifted her slender hand and slowly, grandly, placed the diamond ring on her finger. Then he kissed her hand.
"When I was nervous, you were touched. I feel so happy..."
"Don't forget that you are still under my observation. Don’t just treat me casually ever since, or I can turn back at any time."
"I won’t! I will make you feel assured every moment. This is my promise. I can swear..."
