Flower Girls

Melissa trembled, then turned her gaze to see Leonard's serious expression. "Going abroad for three years?"

"Whether it's for advanced studies or training, my father told me... we are only allowed to marry when we have sufficient ability to take over the family." 

Leonard's faint tone showed that indeed it was a little hard for him to say.

He and Mellisa had gone through a thousand hardships, so of course things like marriage would be another test for them.

It was just that their wedding would be delayed, so the man looked quite hesitant.

At this moment, Mellisa didn't speak, she just sat quietly in his arms. Her eyes calmly closed as she sank into a deep thought.

The silence of midnight spread throughout the living room.

Leonard didn't want to bother her. But he stared at Mellisa's face with a pair of sharp eyes, trying to see through her mind.
