Chapter 276 Say Yes

"Mary, I love you. Marry me!"

With his side facing the door, Barry knelt on one knee. The ring in his hand was dazzling, but his face exuded more radiance.

He was holding Mary's hand, and she seemed lost in words.

At the door, Selah stood petrified in spot. The scene in front of her seemed to have removed her ability to move and speak. The coldness in her heart radiated to her fingertips, making them tremble slightly.

Barry... Barry...

With her hand clutching the doorknob, she wanted to leave immediately. She also wanted to close her eyes, but her body seemed to betray her. Even closing her eyes was impossible. She could not do anything but stare at the sweet and romantic scene in the living room. It seemed that the only way she could feel better was by torturing herself.

"Mary." After a long pause, Barry spoke again. "I know my proposal is a little abrupt, a little... It's not that grand, but I really can't wait any longer!"

Mary swallowed hard. The only thing that could be seen in her eyes was absolute shock. "Barry..."

"I don't care if you say that I am taking advantage of the situation." Though he felt anxious, his voice was firm. "I won't let you go anymore. William could only bully and hurt you. Let me protect you! Mary, I don't believe friendship is all we have."

"You... Stand up first, Barry!" Mary was a bit panicky and confused. "Let's talk about it when you stand up!"

"Have you ever seen someone stand up before a successful marriage proposal?" Cold sweat broke out on Barry's palms. Nevertheless, he smiled and answered with a sense of humor. Also, he was sure he would not get up if Mary would not agree.

Mary was unable to pull him up so she gave up. She just sighed and said, "You

Selah shook her head and grabbed her things. As she turned her back to Barry, she said, "I'm leaving now. I left a few personal belongings in the villa. Mr.... Mr. Gu, please send them to me when you have time."

"Okay." Barry nodded. Watching Selah walk away, he felt an indescribable ripple in his heart and he blurted out, "Be careful!"

Hearing his voice, Selah walked even faster with the luggage in her hand.

As soon as she was out of the villa, she could not help but burst into tears. She did not know why she felt so aggrieved when Barry never promised her anything in the first place. Yet here she was, walking alone and crying on the road.

The memory of them watching the sunrise together, and her falling asleep on his shoulder by accident was still in her mind. Also, when Barry accompanied Ray to the operation room, he promised her son that he would come see him again in the future. His greeting to her every morning and every night was what kept her going. Lastly, the time when he considerately let her miss the live show just so she could be with her son before his surgery touched her heart in so many ways.

Barry might have done those things unintentionally and without any hidden agenda, but that was what made Selah fall in love with him.

She remembered everything whenever they were together. Little did she know that her heart unconsciously drifted towards him.

She took out a delicate lighter from her pocket. It was the gift which she had tried her best to find. During her free time, she spent her time walking around the streets and lanes just to find this particular object. She was hoping that Barry would like it, but she did not even have the chance to give him this.

"Woo... Woo... Barry..."
