Not only was Hana stunned after hearing Zayn say that, but even the crowd of onlookers, Tessa, Hector were all stunned at that same time.
Tessa was the first to regain her senses. "Zayn Smith! What did you say? You want to marry her? This b*tch! You can't marry her! You can't!” She looked at Zayn with incomparable resentment.
Zayn turned his head back and looked at Tessa. "Miss Laven, I think you don't have any right to give orders t o anybody! You don't have the right to take your hand and point at your mother like this! Also, as her daughter, you shouldn't have the right to intervene with whatever your mother wants to do, right?"
Tessa was speechless. Zayn’s outright condemnation left Tessa at a loss for words. Zayn did not have to reprimand Tessa. He had just resolutely made the decision in a split second that he wanted to marry Hana. It was as if he saw that two miserable hearts would be connected together. He just wanted them to hold each other and keep each other warm.
Once again, Zayn looked at Hana seriously. "Miss Sharpe, are you willing to marry me? I am infertile. We may not have children in the future, but I will go through thick and thin together with you for the rest o f our lives. Will you marry me? I will never let you suffer again, never let you wander the streets again. I
will take care of your aunt together with you, alright?"
Hana absolutely never expected it. She was forty years old and was already half an old lady. Her daughter was already twenty-two years old. Such a tall, rich, and handsome man would unexpectedly propose to her? Was it because God saw that her life was too bitter, so God gave her a blessing? She had originally planned to end her life because there was no meaning for her to be alive anymore. However, at that moment, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you...being serious?"
"Of course!" Zayn said loudly. "Ever since I came back from Ciarrai county, I have kept every single word of mine. I am already thirty-two years old. I have considered my future very thoroughly. I am not being impulsive."
Perhaps, after being in touch with Hana for the past couple of days, Zayn's feelings were already drawn towards her. Perhaps he had always felt that he and Tessa were not compatible. Therefore, when Tessa broke up with him, he did not feel any pain at all. Rather, he felt a sense of relief. All of the pain he felt i n the past two days was because he was not a true man. However, he had already vented quite a lot of his pain in front of Hana. He did not vent his pain in front of his parents. He did not even show it in front of Sabrina. He had only cried for half an hour in Hana’s ward. That meant that deep within his heart, he had already taken Hana as his own kind and was already fond of Hana a long time ago, was that not true?
He had the same eye as her niece, Aino. However, he was not as pure as Aino, and his vision was not as clear as Aino. Aino had already her eyes on Hana at the very beginning, but he took a big round instead. At that moment, his intention was absolutely firm. He wanted to marry this woman, Hana, who was eight years older than him.
"If you don't mind me for being infertile, then I will take you to get our marriage certificate,” Zayn said gently again.
"No! I don’t mind! Of course, I don't mind!" Hana immediately cried as she was so touched.
At that instant, she no longer wanted to die anymore. What daughter? What only daughter? Hana had no such thing. Perhaps she already had no such thing since Tessa's childhood.
