"I..." Mary blushed and faltered, "I didn't forget about them! It was an accident last night."
William got out of the bed. After a good night's rest, he looked so much better.
"Mary and I are in love with each other. Don't try to take us apart. How can you do this to your sister?" William said unhappily, "We're adults. We can resolve our own problems. Mind your own business."
"Wow! Look who's talking!" Aisha raised her head and added, "My sister's business is my business. I want to think about her happiness. I want her to stay away from you!"
"No way!" Waving his hand, William disagreed firmly. "I will be with Mary for the rest of my life. No one can stop us! Not even you!" Then, he looked at Mary affectionately.
Mary rubbed her forehead, still unable to make out of the morning feud.
If Aisha and William quarreled, which side should she take?
"You are just a talker. You always make my sister upset. I can't trust you easily." Aisha shook her head in disgust.
"Okay," said William as he placed his both hands on his waist. "Then how can you believe me?"
"Make a promise." Aisha raised her eyebrows and stared at William, as if she had been waiting for this opportunity. She said word by word, "I want you to make a promise to my sister in front of everyone. As for the content of the promise, I think you should know."
"Okay, no problem." William nodded in agreement without any hesitation. "I'll tell you now then. I want—"
Mary looked at William and felt nervous.
"Wait a m
asked with a nostalgic look. "These are the rings I bought for us four years ago. I take them with me all the time. I even put them on the place closest to my heart.
Although I didn't pay much attention to them four years ago, they mean more to me than anything else." Touching the smaller ring, William suddenly knelt on one knee on the floor beside the bed, and held up the ring. "Mary, marry me!"
The sudden proposal made Mary's heart beat faster and faster. Everyone else in the ward was taken aback.
Archer smiled. William really understood what he meant just now!
Before Mary could react, Elissa did first. "Mommy, say yes!"
"Mommy, don't you want to marry Dad?" urged Alick.
Pursing her lips, Mary choked with sobs. She could not say anything, and could only nod slightly to show that she agreed to marry him.
As William waited for Mary's answer, every second that had passed seemed like a year. Seeing that her gestures said that she had agreed, William took her hand immediately and put the ring on her ring finger.
"All right," said William with a proud smile. He finally felt relieved as he stared at the ring. "I have put it on your finger and you belong to me now, Mary. You won't be able to escape anymore."
"Humph!" Aisha snorted disdainfully, but her eyes were full of happiness.
Hearing that, Mary was stunned for a while, but William kissed her unexpectedly. She felt extremely joyful all of a sudden.
'Well, that's it. I also want to marry you, William!' she thought.
