"I am not lying. It's all true. You're so considerate, and you will understand me, right?"
"No matter what I am doing and whether there is another woman by my side or not, you're my only wife in my heart."
Saying this, he took out a blue velvet box from his pocket and opened it. There were two plain rings in it. Under the dim light, they had fine gloss.
"They're all the people you used to care about the most. Today, I asked them to come here to... say goodbye to you. By the way, I want them to witness our marriage." After saying this, he suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of the stone tablet and raised the box in his hand high, "No matter what others think of me, I still want to ask you. Would you marry me?"
Elizabeth finally understood why he hung those colorful lanterns and dressed so formally on such a sad day. It turned out that he wanted to propose to her.
Proposing should show his sincerety and be romantic.
Others didn't speak.
Other than Isaac, who was still smiling, everyone was grieved when they heard this.
"When you were alive, I couldn't say these words for some reason. After you died, I could say these and propose to you, but where are you now?"
James and Benjamin endured their sorrow in their hearts, but Elizabeth was a woman after all. When she heard these words and saw Isaac's appearance, her eyes were already full of tears and her throat tightened.
She bit her lip tightly and reached out to hold James's hand, pinching his hand tightly. Looking at Isaac in front of her, she swore in her heart that she would hold James's hand tightly like this forever.
"If you don't answer me, I'll take it as a yes."
Isaac's low voice sounded again, with a trace of tenderness and joy.
After saying that, he took out one ring, "I made it according to your size. It should be suitable for you."
As he spoke, he smiled, as if he had really worn the ring for Adele, and as if they could live together in love for the rest of their lives.
Elizabeth thought that he would place the ring in a certain place in front of the stone tablet, but she heard Isaac say, "But, I'll keep the ring for you first. When I see you one day, I'll give it to you personally."
