"Keira, I gotta say sorry. I've been neglecting you lately. Even with our engagement tomorrow, I didn't give you a proper proposal. So today is my last shot...."
He paused, took a deep breath, and continued slowly,
"Keira, thanks for not giving up on our love because of societal pressures. Opportunities come in a flash, and I thank you for giving me the last chance to hold you. Thanks for being by my side all the way. You comforted and encouraged me through my numerous downfalls. Thanks for all the patience and efforts you've made for me. Your kindness, generosity, and intelligence deeply attract me, and being able to spend my life with you is the most beautiful thing in my life."
The more Lance talked, the softer his expression became. He mostly spoke about their encounters, their understanding, their love, and beautiful memories from the past, easily immersing people once again. It seemed their love was the purest, deepest, and most romantic in the world.
People inevitably fell silent, drawn into the deep love between the two. But the corners of Chloe’s lips turned. Her elegant face showed a chilling ruthlessness.
Not giving up on love due to societal pressure? Since when did a woman who wanted someone else's man have such a righteous reason? Since when did Keira become the one who stood by him through thick and thin? Since when did she become the one who bore and gave?
What did she bear? Continuously unfair treatments from Chloe? Or was it revenge?
Kindness, generosity, and intelligence?
Chloe swept her hair back, her hand finally rested behind her forehead, and she laughed sarcastically with her head down! Was this a reminder of how foolish she was?
Every word Lance uttered now was filled with deep affection. Especially for all the women present, who were born for love and now were moved to tears. Only Chloe was filled with sarcasm and anger!
Finally, she lifted her eyes, and her icy gaze seemed venomous, staring fiercely at Lance on the stage who was deeply affectionate.
At this moment, the host handed the "My Queen" ring to Lance with a smile on his face.
Lance smiled and reverently accepted the ring, then once again turned his gaze to Keira. Keira was biting her lip; her pale delicate face was filled with tears of happiness. Her face was covered with tears, tragically beautiful.
The women surrounding Keira pushed her onto the stage in front of Lance. Lance looked at her tenderly, slowly bent down on one knee, and showed her the ring.
Keira's face was streaked with tears. A look of surprise flashed across her face as one hand nervously clutched her skirt and the other covered her mouth. She looked down at Lance with a face full of excitement and emotion.
"Allow me to take care of your every day, to bring you joy with my presence. Keira, will you marry me?"
Even though this was an inevitable matter, Lance still carefully asked this question.
