The next moment, cheers erupted everywhere.
Just like an elegant prince, Larry walked up to Joan and brought out the ring he prepared. Kneeling with one knee on the ground, he gazed longingly into Joan's eyes.
“I love you Joan, marry me!”
“Marry him! Marry him...”
With everyone immersing themselves in the romantic moment, loud cheers rang out through the crowd.
Face with Larry's affectionate gaze, Joan couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock.
Everything before her felt so much like a fantasy that she couldn't believe it herself.
She was already thankful that she could redeem her reputation at the press conference. Hence, she didn't expect Larry to come up with such a surprise at all.
“Joan, will you marry me?”
When he saw how emotional she was, Larry popped the question again.
“I will love you for the rest of my life and I will not allow you to come to any harm. I..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Joan's sobbing voice.
“I will! I most definitely will!” Joan replied aloud as tears streamed down her cheeks.
After having gone through so much, nothing was more important than staying by each other's side.
As she had never been this happy before, Joan looked at Larry and felt that he was the world to her.
“That's wonderful!”
The moment was so beautiful that even the reporters were touched by it. Cameras began to flash incessantly as they recorded the romantic moment.
Larry slowly stood up and lifted Joan's right hand. He then helped her put on the ring while gazing passionately into her eyes.
Joan, from now on, you will be known as Mrs. Norton.
Surrounded by anticipative stares, Larry kissed her on her tender lips.
The raging passion within his kiss spilled onto her endlessly, as if to show how strong his feelings for her were.
