No wonder he knew my preferences so well.]]
“So because I saved your life, you agreed to this arranged marriage? I didn’t think much of it when I rescued you…” I felt embarrassed I hadn’t even recognized him at first.
Alexander shook his head. “Perhaps you believe in love at first sight?“]]
I couldn’t help but smile. The concept seemed like something from a fairy tale.
“I didn’t believe in it either,” Alexander admitted, “but my heart doesn’t lie when I’m with you.”
The tenderness in his eyes was so intense I felt like I might drown in them. My heart began to race uncontrollably.
Alexander told me he had waited ten years for me. When he discovered I had a boyfriend, he had considered backing away, but after learning about Ryan’s unrequited love for another woman, he knew Ryan could never give me the happiness I deserved. So, he decided to try to pursue me.[]
He knelt before me with a diamond ring that fit my finger perfectly. “I’m asking for a chance to love you properly.”
“You don’t have to believe me now. We have a lifetime ahead, and I’ll prove it to you with my actions.”
My parents appeared from nowhere, each holding a bouquet of roses, cheerfully encouraging me: “Say yes! Say yes!“[]
I remembered the scene I had witnessed at the restaurant on my birthday, but now I was the one surrounded by flowers and cheers.]
This time, I decided to be selfish and embrace a love that felt like a beautiful intrusion into my life.]
I slipped my finger into the ring. Alexander’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as he slowly pushed the diamond ring up my finger, claiming me as his.[]
My mother placed the pearl tiara on my head while my father, wiping away tears, but still remembered to take photos and videos of the moment.]]
