The days passed day by day. More than once, Christopher tried to enter the Steffen but was stopped at the door.
To avoid him, Leslie came to the office 2 hours earlier deliberately every day. But no matter how early she came, she would see this man waiting at Steffen’s gate.
“Just go away, I will not forgive you.”
“No, I don’t ask for your forgiveness.”
Christopher looked at her with deep love in his eyes, “I only plead that you could return. Even if you don’t love me, even if you stay with me to torture me.”
Leslie was tired of hearing this from him.
This man was not worth trusting anymore.
Then Phoenix found out that Leslie was being harassed by Christopher. He sent additional bodyguards to protect Leslie.
Recently, she was harassed by Christopher to make her mood irritable, so she came out with Phoenix to relax.
But seeing Phoenix’s mysterious look, she felt a little puzzled.
Here the scenery was warm and rosy, pink sand floating in the wind, the wall of roses in various colors spreading all around.
The guests of the Steffen family as well as Steffen’s top employees were sitting on the stage.
All the people stood up and applauded enthusiastically when they saw Leslie and Phoenix approaching.
The Steffen family did not accept Leslie, a woman of unknown origin, at first. But for three years Leslie’s excellent workability made the Steffen family satisfied.
And Phoenix threatened the Steffen family to be single for the rest of his life if he wasn’t allowed to marry Leslie.
His parents also thought that only Leslie could teach their son. Finally, they had to agree to their marriage.
The good thing was that Leslie managed the Steffen Group very well. She did not seek benefit from it. They were satisfied with Leslie gradually.
Phoenix took her hand and walked to the high platform. He knelt on one knee.
A little girl wearing a pink princess dress carried a basket of roses and walked toward them. She smiled and said Happy Newlywed.
After Phoenix stroked the girl’s head, he took out a red velvet box.
When he opened the box, there was a large 12-carat diamond ring with exquisite cutting in it.
“Will you be married with me, Leslie? For these three years, my love for you was deepened little by little. My appreciation had become a kind of deep love. So I beg you, marry me, okay?”
When Phoenix got down on one knee, the audience in the arena instantly boiled up.
“Marry him! Marry him!”
Leslie saw the deep love from his eyes. She felt a little uncomfortable.
If Phoenix had not saved her life three years ago, she would have died.
He replaced her with a corpse that looked similar to her before she escaped from Christopher.
She was so afraid she owed him so much that she couldn’t pay back in this lifetime.
If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t have the chance to live again.
Although she didn’t love him, what does it matter if you love or don’t love him?
She would spend the rest of her life taking good care of him in return for his kindness.
“I’d like to.”
Her words were just spoken. An angry and urgent voice rang out before the applause from the floor had come.
Christopher appeared at end of the long aisle. He went up and said, “Leslie, don’t agree, please.”
He walked toward Leslie, took her hand, and said with deep love, “I’m sorry, everyone. Today I, Christopher, am going to pick up my wife.”
An unusual commotion arose from the crowd.
Leslie drew back her hand and sneered, “Who give your qualification of saying like that?”
Christopher took out their marriage certificate. He opened the first page with pictures of them.
“Leslie, don’t forget that you are still my wife. As long as we are not divorced, you are not qualified to be married with another man!”
“Phoenix, what the hell is going on here? How can you marry a married woman?”
Phoenix’s mother stood up and put her hands on her left chest.
“Phoenix, look how angry your mother is! This woman is not good enough for you since she had been already married with someone else. You cannot be with this woman. Today’s marriage proposal is over! Miss Ward, please leave with your husband immediately!”
Phoenix’s father pointed at Leslie and said that angrily.
Phoenix walked toward Leslie hurriedly. He held Leslie’s shoulders and said in a stern voice to others, “Mom and Dad! Leslie did not know people well enough, so she falls in love with a scum before. They have separated three years ago. Now Leslie has not been seeing him for a long time. Even if they get married, they can still divorce.”
However, no matter how much Phoenix said, the Steffen family did not agree. Finally, all the people left one after another.
Looking at the empty stage, Leslie smiled sadly.
This man always appeared when she was about to be happy and then broke her happiness into pieces.
“Christopher, you want me to be your wife again. But where is my father? Where is my baby! Can they come back?”
Leslie’s voice was very harsh.
Christopher looked at her sad and desolate appearance with saying nothing.
