Chapter 817 - Proposal (2)

Even though she knew this, she was still moved to tears.

Roy panicked. For a moment, his hands seemed to have grown out of place, not knowing where to put them. "Don't cry, don't cry. I know I was too impulsive today. I should have waited for a more suitable time and place. I should have bought a bigger, more fitting ring for you..."

Laila didn't let him continue. Instead, she snatched the ring and, with a fierce expression, put it on her middle finger. "Do you think I would let you propose to me when I'm in a mess? Forget about it!"

Roy didn't know how to respond to her words. His mind, which had stiffened, wanted to explain for himself, not that he deliberately waited for her to be in a mess to propose, but it was an uncontrollable impulse. Yet, he felt like there was no need to explain anything. It was just a joke, and if he explained it seriously, he would be laughed at.

The two of them, one silly smiling, the other absent-minded, if someone accidentally wandered in at this moment, they would think they had stumbled into a ward for mental patients. And the two mental patients in the ward were exchanging their experiences of mental illness...

"Laila, thank you." Roy finally managed to pull back his soaring rationality, his eyes red as he held her tightly in his arms. "Thank you for giving me a home."

During the time he was wandering the streets, he had long felt that he didn't need a family. At that time, he had already given up on his parents, and the only thing that kept him going was Abel. Finding an ordinary job, renting an ordinary house, bringing his brother back from the foster home, and supporting him through middle school and college, until he no longer wanted to study. That was all he wished for!

But her appearance changed everything, allowing him to fulfill his wish to be with his brother early, and giving him what he had always despised but deeply desired―"a home"!

Laila felt something warm flowing down her neck, surprised, she wanted to turn her head to see, but she was held tightly by Roy and couldn't move.

"Don't look at me, I look a bit ugly now."

His voice had a nasal tone and a hint of unhideable choking. Laila already knew what was flowing down her neck, which made her also tightly hug him.

"Not ugly at all, you are the world's number one sexy and handsome man, there will never be an ugly moment for you." Even in moments of tears.

She forgot where she had seen a sentence before, that if a man who doesn't usually cry is willing to cry in front of you, then you are truly important to him.

Now, the Roy in her arms only cried for her and showed his vulnerable side to her. Wasn't it because in his heart, she was the most important person?

Wrapping her hands around his back in a hug, Laila couldn't help but touch the diamond ring that had just been put on her finger.

Thinking that at that time, she only accepted the suggestion to pretend to be his girlfriend for the publicity of the movie, she couldn't believe that she would be together with him for real.

They had been together for a few years now, and their time together as a couple was quite short. But even though the time was short, it didn't hinder their relationship, instead, it became more mellow like aged wine.

She was a conservative person, once she admitted someone, she wouldn't change, at least not before the other party changed.

He was probably the same.

He said thank you for giving him a home, but wasn't he also giving her a home?

He was abandoned by his parents, and she had to live alone in this distant time and country because of her rebirth, forcing herself to adapt to an environment where everyone around her spoke "foreign languages" and were "foreigners".

In a sense, they were the same, both trying to survive in a completely new environment. From this perspective, perhaps they were the most suitable pair for each other in this world.

Early the next morning, Laila, who had been awake since being awakened in the middle of the night, stared at the diamond ring on her finger with bloodshot eyes, not blinking.

It was a very cute and delicate ring. It had a delicate design and excellent craftsmanship. In the middle was a relatively large diamond, surrounded by four pink diamonds. From their current perspective, it was not considered very expensive, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was already a very good ring.

Roy said he bought it on impulse when they pretended to be a couple for the gossip. Laila would never forget that he had just become popular at that time, and he didn't have much money to spare. Perhaps such a ring was already the most expensive one he could buy at that time.

Contrary to the dazzling "pigeon egg" diamond ring, Laila preferred this exquisite and delicate little thing. What surprised her was that he had already bought the ring at that time. Could it be that he already knew that they would reach this day?

Thinking that she was still calculating how to use the scandal for the movie's publicity at that time, but he had already developed "evil intentions" towards her early, she felt a bit aggrieved. Why did she feel like her big cabbage had just grown well but was stared at by someone, and instead of noticing it, she ran into it herself, feeling like delivering goods to the door?

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but angrily reach out to pinch the man's nose beside her, but before her fingers touched him, they were grabbed by a big hand.

"Good morning, Laila." Roy had just woken up, his voice still husky, sexy enough to make people weak in the knees, and his deep eyes, which could almost suck people in, were like they were filled with honey, sweet enough to be cloying.

At least in Laila's eyes, that was the case.

Looking at him, she only had one thought in her heart, that handsome people are good.

She was proposed to yesterday, oh no, it should be said that she was proposed to in the early hours of this morning. After she accepted the ring, he was probably extremely tired. He tilted his head and lay down beside her. She had to help him take off his clothes and shoes, allowing him to comfortably occupy half of her bed, and then she stayed up all night until now.
