“Whoa! How romantic! The red roses are everywhere. I envy his wife.”
“The neon lights on the opposite building should have cost more than a million dollars. The building’s owner is a tough businessman. It’s so amazing!”
“Let alone the money. Haven’t you seen he called her ‘my dear wife?’ Argh! It’s truly romantic. If a man confessed his love to me in this way, I would definitely marry him.”
Many women screamed and discussed. The confession scene was a dream event for them, so they were all envious.
Miranda was one of them.
However, she was surprised. ‘Why does this line sound like from Robin Bailey to Elise?’
Miranda thought of Robin as soon as she read the line, as it matched the experience between Robin and Elise. However, the next second, she shook her head. ‘How could it be possible? This scene should have cost a lot of money. I’ve wronged Robin Bailey, but he’s still too poor to offend them.’
She shook her idea off her head.
With a smile in self-mockery, she blamed herself for having wild guesses.
However, Elise gaped at the scene on the rooftop while covering her mouth with a hand. Red roses covered the rooftop, amazing her.
Standing in the center, Robin wore a military uniform. He was slim, but the uniform made him highly charming. He stood upright, his eyes eagle-sharp, his face rock-hard. His every movement showed he was an experienced soldier who had been to battles.
“Elise, I owe you too much. I want to spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Could you please give me a chance?”
Robin strode to her. Then he knelt to her on one knee while staring at her affectionately and passed a ring to her. It was a ring with a small Carmen red. Elise burst into laughter.
Then she reached her left hand to him.
“I will. Please wear it for me.”
After Robin put the ring on her finger, Elise rushed up to hug him tightly as if she would never let go of him.
She didn’t release him until a long time later. However, she still wrapped her arms around Robin’s neck, gazing at him with dewy eyes. “I’m sorry, Honey. I’ve wronged. I shouldn’t have hit you. You can slap me back.”
She was serious.
However, Robin shook his head in refusal. “No. I don’t have the heart to do so.”
“Then… I…”
The next second, Elise pecked Robin’s cheek, leaving a red lip print. Staring at it, she chuckled, “I stamped you. You belong to me now.”
“Honey, is this uniform your military uniform? You look great in it. I can’t see the military rank on your shoulder, but you look like a general. You look gorgeous, even if you are just a soldier. You take my breath away.”
Elise looked at Robin’s uniform up and down. The longer she looked, the more handsome he seemed. She couldn’t tear her gaze off him, even though it was just a soldier’s uniform.
Robin beamed at her.
Elise didn’t know that Robin didn’t want to scare her. After all, he was the colonel general of Fort Eastern, leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Only a few commanders were superior to him.
In other words, he was one of the most influential ones in Kisia.
“By the way, those things…”
Elise pointed at the roses and the neon lights and chided him, “They must have cost you a lot of money. Have you spent all your savings in the past seven years? Why did you do so? Forget it. I’ll raise you from now on. You must work hard and be a good role model for Leslie.”
“Also, explain the matter about the Supreme VIP card.”
Elise pulled out the card from her pocket, staring at Robin.
“I borrowed it,” Robin explained.
“From the chairman of the board?”
“Ehn. As I said, I used to rescue a wealthy man. He’s the Robin-Sophia Group’s chairman of the board. I knew you would come here, so I borrowed it from him.”
Elise recalled Robin’s words earlier. Frowning, she said, “Robin, please don’t do this again. Last time, you let him return your favor. This time, you’ve owed him once. If this happened again more times, he would detest us. We can’t be too greedy.”
Elise finally understood why Robin had suggested giving a bottle of Cruzan 9 Spiced Rum as a gift.
He was in the same troop as the chairman of the board, so he knew it well.
Elise realized again that she didn’t trust Robin enough.
“Have you finished the proposal ceremony? If so, I need to go downstairs to sign the contract. I left the hall without saying anything earlier. I’m afraid people in the Robin-Sophia Group will think I’m too rude.”
Elise nodded at Robin and was about to go downstairs.
Robin took her hand, and they went to the hall together. Elise had already accepted Robin. Although he was a poor, common man, she wouldn’t mind raising him in the future.
However, she wished he could be self-motivated and make some achievements.
When they arrived at the hall, Reginald saw them hand-in-hand with a single glimpse. Jealousy surged in his eyes. ‘How could they hold hands? Damn it! Bob is so stupid. He screwed it.”
He waited for Bob’s call for a while but didn’t receive anything. Later, he lost contact with Bob.
When the policemen entered the hall earlier, he finally realized that Bob and his men had been captured.
How stupid!
Reginald felt lucky as he had an agreement with Bob, who would be sentenced to death anyway. Reginald didn’t think Bob would rat him out.
“Sorry, Mr. Jordan,” Elise apologized to Jim.
She had been rude as she left suddenly without a word.
Jeff disliked this kind of scene, so he left the hall. Jim stayed to sign the contract. On the other hand, Miranda followed the policemen to the police station for the testimony.
Charlie sneered. He had known how short-tempered Jim was. Elise had made Jim and the other guests wait a long time, so Charlie expected Jim to blow up on her and watch the fun.
The next second, however, he froze.
Jim bowed at Elise politely and replied humbly, “It’s alright, Ms. Houry. I can understand. Shall we sign the project contract now?”
Charlie was baffled.
‘Am I so angry, so I have an illusion? Isn’t Jim Jordan the president of the Robin-Sophia Group? He didn’t behave the same way last time. He blew up on me for a trifle. How could he be so humble when facing Elise Houry?’
Elise was also surprised and said, “Mr. Jordan, I heard you were short-tempered. But you are truly easygoing and generous, in fact.”
