As the heavy door was opened she was stunned by the scene inside.
The floor was covered with a dark furry blanket, full of rose petals. There was a faint fragrance in the room that filled her nose. On the high ceiling, there was an extravagant chandelier hanging down. In the center of the room was a large arc-shaped sofa.
The gorgeous evening glow spread in the silky sky, making the most beautiful sunset.
She followed him across the living room to a breathtaking view.
On the long dining table, candles were quietly burning, and the sound of melodious music played softly throughout the room, adding a warm atmosphere to the moment.
The light was dim, and provided mainly by the little candles. In the middle of it sat a beautiful bunch of butterfly orchids.
Sherry couldn't help but look at Jeremy in awe.
Under the light, a faint smile appeared on his face. He was dressed handsomely in a T-shirt and some smart, formal pants. Sherry however was dressed in a business suit which was really strange considering where they were.
She was married for such a long time though so she barely cared for surprises anymore.
Outside the window, the night was hazy, spreading the light on his face. Under his thick, dark eyebrows, his deep eyes stared at her intently. He just silently stared, embracing all her expressions.
She couldn't believe she just showed any glimmer of emotion. She was so annoyed. She composed herself and pretended to be nonchalant about the affair.
"What the hell are you doing?" Sherry said impatiently.
Jeremy was flabbergasted. He held on to Sherry's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, okay?"
"Then if you have something to say..."
Before she could finish her words, Jeremy put his finger on her lips. "Shush!"
Sherry widened her eyes and looked up at him, not knowing what he was going to do.
A waiter pushed a cart over, with a delicate black box in the middle of the cart.
Jeremy held Sherry's body and gently turned her to face the box. He stood behind her, with his chin on her shoulder, and said in a deep and pampering voice, "Open it and have a look."
Sherry turned to look at him and accidentally rubbed against his face. A smug smile immediately appeared on Jeremy's face.
Sherry turned her head and delicately opened the box.
A gorgeous necklace lay in the box.
Sherry's jaw dropped and her eyes widened at the sight of it
"Three years ago, the Eternal Love series you designed was sold out. I deeply regretted not buying the jewelry designed by my wife,"
he said in a deep voice. His lips were so close to her ears that she could feel his hot breath on her.
He took out the necklace from the box and put it on her neck.
"It's amazing," he praised.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Sherry turned her head to look at Jeremy and spoke in a cold voice, "I'm hungry. Can we have dinner now?"
He was absolutely gobsmacked and couldn't get any words out.
'She couldn't even say thank you, but she could say she was hungry. What a cold woman!' he thought.
He took her by the hand and they walked to the dining table.
He sat
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise.
What could he possibly be doing now?
A silence fell over the crowded square as they looked at them.
"Us being together is fate. I swear that I won't ever make you cry or sad. I will cherish every minute that we are together. We will make nothing but memories of happiness and laughter. True love is not done on a whim, but rather experienced over time. Please let me accompany you for the rest of your life, okay?"
His voice suddenly became incredibly gentle, and echoed in the quiet night sky.
Love was really an incredible thing that could bring two people who were once estranged, together. No matter how cruel time was, there was always a thing called love, comforting the once broken heart.
He realized that all these years he unconsciously couldn't be apart from her. She could have been in front of him or even in his arms, but he still missed her.
"Perhaps you don't know. When I decided to spend the rest of my life with you, I just hoped to start the rest of my life with you right now. Sherry, marry me!" he shouted again.
Standing in front of him, Sherry didn't know how to react. She had waited for so many years for this moment.
She used to think that her efforts would pay off, but she didn't know she'd have to wait for three years.
"Wow! Say yes!"
"Lady, your boyfriend is so romantic and handsome. Just marry him!"
"Marry him! Marry him!"
"Marry him!"
The crowd cheered, and in the end, they all were chanting, "Marry him!"
She was overcome with thoughts and really didn't know what to do. She pursed her lips not being able to speak.
He was always so engrossed in himself that he never paid any attention to her feelings.
Flushed with shyness and excitement, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands.
He had been kneeling on the concrete floor for a while now; he was probably in pain.
"Marry him!"
Hearing that, Sherry was helpless. The sound was like a flood that almost broke her eardrum. She screamed loudly, "Yes. I'll marry you!"
