A Sudden Proposal

Everly thought, 'Is he going to propose? But it is so sudden. How should I react? Should I agree or not?'

Her heart was pounding. She had an answer in her heart, but she had to maintain her reserve. So she pretended that she didn't know anything. "What's the matter? Tell me."

Everly turned to Maverick. In the darkness, Maverick could not see that her hands on her legs had secretly clenched. Her whole body was stiff, and she was trying to suppress her nervousness and expectation.

Maverick was silent for a few seconds and then made a decision. "Let's get out of the car."

Everly was stunned and felt that Maverick did not seem to propose later.

The reality proved that she was thinking too much.

There was a private sanatorium at the top of the hill. Maverick held Everly's hand and entered. When they reached the highest floor, a man, looking like the dean, was waiting and smiled respectfully at them.

"This way, Mr. Maverick, Ms. Everly."
