More than once, a child has fluttered his big eyes and described the mesmerizing big brother to himself in a yearning tone, “Teacher Grace, I’m telling you, oh, Brother Pittman is a great guy!”
“He’s handsome and so good. I want to be like him when I grow up.” Children’s words are childish, and they say whatever comes to mind.
Every time this time, Gina always stroked the child’s fluffy head with her palm, pursing her lower lip without saying a word. The hair at her temples fell to the side of her face, obscuring her expression from clear view.
“Teacher Liang,” the woman at the head of the table took the lead, rubbing her hands together, “We’ve set up a table and would like to invite you to a meal, as a thank you for the training of the dolls.”
Before he could say no, Gina was pushed and shoved to the table by the group of enthusiastic parents of the students.
And she met the person she most wanted to see, and feared to see, at the dinner table.
Aaron sat in the second upper seat; his lips tinged with a smile as he addressed her warm gaze from afar.
Being pressed into a seat next to the man, Gina twisted and turned her head away from him, but the tips of her reddened ears gave away her thoughts.
There wasn’t much change on his face, but the man who had been a great success in the mall was a little nervous at the moment. –I don’t know if what he’s done these days can change her mind, if she can give herself a chance to start over.
The table was already full of dishes, not exactly a mountain of food, but the most sumptuous feast a mountain village farmhouse could prepare.
The women at the bottom exchanged glances, they had long seen that these two young people had love and affection but were not together, and the idea of setting them up had been in their minds for a long time.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be sitting specifically on the two of them.
One girl’s mother cleared her throat and took the lead in breaking the silence, “Teacher Liang, my in-law always tells me that she thinks that teacher and brother Fu are a good match.”
“It’s not like you two don’t have each other in your hearts, so why don’t you hurry up and get married and have a doll.” Immediately, a woman took up the conversation and gave enthusiastic advice.
Her cheeks, already flushed, were now even redder as if they could drip blood. Gina scrambled out of her seat and hid behind the woman who had called her to eat, as if that would keep her from facing the blushing question directly.
Seeing the woman leaping out like a little rabbit to hide behind someone else, Aaron pursed his lips and took a deep breath, then stood up with his hands propped on the table.
He would do something that Aaron felt he would regret for the rest of his life if he missed this opportunity.
Taking one deliberate step at a time, the man finally stood before her, his gaze burning and determined.
Folded his left knee and knelt on one knee Aaron, took out a jewelry box from the jacket pocket of his suit, opened a dazzling and crystal diamond ring.
Taking a deep breath, the man tilted his head and looked straight into her eyes, speaking in a deep and sincere mute voice, “Gina, I did do a lot of excessive things before, so please give me a chance to spend my life to atone for my sins.”
“Marry me, I love you.”
As if her brain exploded into gorgeous and strewn fireworks, Gina froze in place for a moment. As if questioning the truth of the words she had just heard, her gaze was somewhat dazed, and along with it, her entire body was dizzy.
What he was holding – was that a wedding ring, something he only possessed in his dreams.
Seeing that the woman did not reflect, Aaron’s hand holding the diamond ring trembled a little. He was very afraid, very afraid that she had been unwilling to forgive herself. But he still wanted to take a chance, the hope that remained did not allow him to give up the last possibility, he wanted to live with this woman he loved so much for the rest of his life.
The man’s gaze was colored with eagerness as if he was afraid, she didn’t hear him. Please marry me.”
There were faint tears in his eyes, and he couldn’t hold back a giggle. Gina’s gaze towards his face grew softer and softer, taking a step towards him, Gina slowly extended his long and slender right hand, opening his lips with a burning smile, “Idiot, we’re not divorced at all, okay.”
Already mentally tense to the extreme, Aaron, who heard these words, raised his head incredulously and saw the woman’s hand and brilliant smile reaching over.
“Yes, of course it’s good.” An ecstatic feeling swept through his body, his eyebrows bursting with joy and tenderness that could drown people, Aaron caught the hand that reached out in front of him, trembling to wear the diamond ring to the ring finger of that hand, and then led it to his lips to brand a kiss.
Completing the series of actions, the man stood up, spreading his arms and wrapping the woman before him hard in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her tightly into his bones; this was all he had, his one and only, his most precious treasure.
Closing his eyes and pressing his lips to her forehead, feeling the temperature in his arms and the heartbeat in his chest, Aaron secretly decided in his heart that he would never let go of her again in this lifetime.
