Eleanor pointed at the diamond ring box in his hand, clarifying his confusion: "Didn't you prepare a love declaration?"
Cedric, hiding far away, and the Laurences, tucked away in a corner, couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing the laughter, Eleanor was startled. She looked around but saw no one else. Just as she was puzzled, Bernard seized her hand.
He opened his mouth and tried to say the love declaration a few times but ended up asking eagerly, "Will you marry me?"
Eleanor was sure that if she didn't answer, Bernard might die from holding his breath. So she quickly nodded at him, smiling, "Yes!"
If not him, then who? She was destined to be his.
The anxious and nervous look on Bernard's face gradually faded, replaced by a faint smile.
He took Eleanor's hand, putting the diamond ring engraved with their names on her left middle finger.
This position is closest to the heart, symbolizing that the other person is in the heart and representing loyalty to love and marriage.
After he put on the ring for her, he didn't get up but remained kneeling, looking up at her: "Eleanor, I promised you forever, and that promise will never change. In the future, I will accompany you until we're old and gray, loving and protecting you all my life."
His confession, without any fancy words, just heartfelt vows, was the best love declaration for Eleanor.
She bent down and gently kissed his lips. "Bernard, if possible, I'd like to book you for my next life."
Hearing this, Bernard's eyes lit up with a happy smile: "Not just the next life, but forever."
He lifted her chin, still kneeling in front of her, and passionately kissed her.
