On the day of December 31st, Justin booked a restaurant to propose marriage. He told Alexis that he was on a business trip and could not come back to spend the New Year with her, so he asked Scarlett to enjoy the New Year with her.
Scarlett had known Alexis and Justin for more than 2 0 years so she would certainly cooperate with him to propose.
Alexis really believed that Justin would not come back. She was still complaining when she arrived at Scarlett's villa. "I'm a little angry. I came back especially to meet him for New Year's Eve, but he dared to go on a business trip!"
Scarlett put a bowl of washed cherries on the table." Why are you angry? Don’t you want to spend New Year's Eve with me?"
"No. No. No. I want to be with you."
Alexis changed her attitude very quickly. "Lettie, in m y heart, you are number one! No one can be more important than you!"
Scarlett didn't believe it and looked at her with a halfsmile. "Eat cherries."
Alexis hummed. "Where will we eat later?"
"Brookladen Restaurant." "Okay."
Alexis held the cherry in her arms. "These cherries are delicious. Where did you buy them?"
"A neighbor sent them to me."
As soon as Scarlett finished speaking, Alexis leaned near her and looked at her with a wink. "Wow, Lettie. There seems to be a good thing."
Scarlett raised her hand to support Alexis’s face." Nothing. Just a neighbor." There was a detached expression on her face when she said this.
"Sit down for a while. I'll go upstairs to change clothes."
"Oh, oh! You remember to put on makeup and a nice dress. Tonight is New Year's Eve. Maybe we’ll meet acquaintances at Brookladen Restaurant."
Scarlett stopped and glanced back at her. "Okay."
’Justin will propose to Alexis later. Being witness to their love, I really should dress up.’
As soon as Scarlett finished her makeup, Justin sent her a message that the wedding site had been arrayed.
After Scarlett replied to him, Alexis walked in. "I'll see i f you're dressed up."
