My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1474

I turned around to look at the man who was down on one knee in front of me, and my heart was full of indescribable feelings for a moment. Every woman dreamed of having the love of their life down on one knee, professing their love to them.

The crowd grew silent as everyone listened intently to what Hendrix had to say next. "The second time I saw you was in the living room of the Roberts Mansion. You still had the same air of indifference about you. You were pleading with my grandpa to treat Carol, your grandmother. Grandpa asked you if you were willing to marry me at that time, and although you were initially surprised, you just agreed. I knew that you were actually not willing to marry a complete stranger. Marriage was not that important for me, so I was not concerned about my future partner. However, when I knew that you were going to be my future wife, I was somehow really looking forward to it. But forcing you to marry me was not my original intention, and it had let you feel so much regret, so I was rarely at home. It's not that I didn't want to see you, I was just scared that you would be uncomfortable by my presence, a man you didn't want to marry in the first place. I had told you before that if you met someone you liked, you could divorce me. The Roberts would not mistreat you. However, I didn't expect that you would choose to stay by my side for three years. The longer you stayed with me, the more my love for you grew. You didn't know how overjoyed I was when I found out that you were pregnant. I knew that this baby would bond us together for the rest of our lives, so I tried to make you stay," Hendrix continued.

When I heard him talk about the past, I felt as if I was in a trance. The long years seemed to have just happened yesterday. It seemed like it was only yesterday when I first saw the ultrasound scan of the six- week- old fetus growing in my body.

He continued to say, "I almost broke down when I found out you got rid of the baby. But fortunately, Richard told me that everything was fine. You were fine. Except for the fact that you had lied to me. You! I didn't expose your lies at that time. I thought that as long as we had a child of our own, you wouldn't want to leave and everything would be fine. As long as we had a child together, we can live happily ever after. Therefore, it is also because of this, I had done something that even I couldn't forgive myself for. I had hurt you unintentionally, I didn't manage to protect you, or give you enough love. I'd even let you get hurt several times. Arianna, I... Are you still willing to accompany me, a person who is not gentle and considerate enough, for the rest of life?"

Looking at the ring in front of me, I pursed my lips and said, "Hendrix, you really don't know how to be romantic at all. You even chose to say such stupid things during your proposal. How unpleasant! If it weren't for the fact that I like you so much, I wouldn't be willing to listen to your nonsense!"

There was a burst of laughter around. Yana said, "Well, even though you know that he is not good at this, you still chose to be with him. So, Miss Reid, please make Mr. Roberts the happiest man on Earth and say yes to him!"

The crowd started chanting in a unanimous voice, "Say yes!"

I looked at Hendrix in front of me, pursed my lips, and said, "You want to propose to me with just with a ring? This is Yana and Ethan's wedding. Are you here to congratulate them, or to make trouble for them?"
