"Is that okay?" Shelton walked to my side and looked down at me.
Through the transparent glasses, I found that his eyes looked gentle and there was some expectation in them.
I looked at him and thought of what had happened.
He was really nice to me and Glenn. Although his love was not the vigorous one, he showered me with silent warmth.
Perhaps this kind of relationship could live long.
I thought for a while and nodded. "Okay. It's up to you."
Hearing this, Shelton knelt on one knee and took my hand. His clear eyes were full of joy. "Thank you for handing the rest of your life to me. I will surely give you all my best."
"No need." I shook my head. "I'll be contented as long as you stay with us."
When I said "we", I meant, of course, me and Glenn.
"Hmm, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Looking at him like this, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Stand up quickly. It's like you're proposing to me."
"That makes sense." Hearing this, Shelton immediately stood up. He gently placed his hand on the top of my head. "I can never propose to you casually."
"That's not what I meant..."
"That's what I meant."
Shelton held my hand tightly, and his lips curled into a smile.
The joy of me agreeing to his proposal couldn't be hidden even if he wanted to.
Watching this, Ned couldn't help but nod. "Fine, fine, fine. That's settled then. I'll inform them right away."
Shelton took me away. In the car, he asked me, "What are you going to do next? I suggest that you stay in City Y. If you are free recently, I will show you around some new neighborhoods and see which one you like. And, I mean, how about bringing Glenn here? My father will definitely like him."
Listening to his plans for the future, I didn't feel happy at all.
Although I had thought long ago that I would probably marry Shelton in the end.
Now that it was the case, I felt depressed.
Seeing that I did not speak, Shelton asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine. Everything is up to you. I think I'd better go back a few days later and talk to my master about it. After all, I don't have my team here. If I settle here, I'll have a lot of things to consider."
Because Jeremy and Gina treated me badly, I considered Ryan my father.
"Then I'll accompany you."
"No, I can go back by myself. Rest assured, I can handle it."
To reassure him, I gently held his hand that was on the gear.
He kept silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay."
After that incident, he moved all my belongings to the house in City YNo.1, including my computer and my professional books.
We took the elevator upstairs together and looked at my house and his. I hesitated for a while and said, "I still have some work to do."
As I spoke, I opened the door of my house.
Shelton stood behind me, and I could not see his expression.
He remained silent for a few seconds, and finally said, "So what's your next plan? For example, when are you going back to Town S?" "I want to... stay for a couple of days before leaving."
"Okay. Take care of yourself at home. Call me if necessary."
Hearing Shelton's care for me, I suddenly felt somewhat guilty.
The reason why I decided to leave in a couple of days was because I was worried about Patrick.
I walked into my house, sat in front of my computer, and looked at the dark computer screen. My mind was blank.
How was Patrick now?
Losing such an important thing must have a great impact on him.
However, he was so powerful. There shouldn't be any problem.
I sat there and let my imagination run wild. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep on the chair.
It was unknown to me how much time had passed.
