“Wow, so romantic! So many roses!”
“Oh my goodness!”
Just then, screams erupted from outside, piquing Robin Bailey’s curiosity. He immediately went out to see what was happening. Outside, a large crowd had gathered around a lavish display of roses, forming a massive heart shape. Surrounding the roses were numerous gift boxes. In the middle of it all stood a tall, handsome man dressed in a suit. His hair was neatly parted, and he held a bouquet of flowers while gazing deeply at a girl.
“Nina, do you know? From the moment we first met, I fell deeply in love with you. That day has been etched into my heart ever since. I can’t forget your hair, your voice, everything about you.”
“It’s been four years. I’ve loved you for four years, but I never dared to confess my feelings. Today, as we’re about to graduate, I’ve finally mustered the courage to tell you how I feel.”
“Nina, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?” Zak Cox said tenderly to Nina Houry.
“No… No…” Nina Houry felt nauseous.
Four years, and he hadn’t dared to confess? If these words had come from someone else, she might have believed it to some extent, but not from Zak Cox. It was impossible. He probably wouldn’t even remember her name once his pants were on.
Immediately, Nina Houry wanted to leave. However, she found herself blocked by a crowd of people – some were classmates, some were passersby, and others were arranged by Zak Cox. The scene indeed looked like a grand romantic confession, and the crowd started egging her on.
“He’s so sincere, he’s loved you for four years and has finally found the courage to confess today. Just accept him.”
“Besides, he’s tall and handsome. His suit is a high-end brand, worth over 100, 000. If it were me, I would have agreed long ago.”
“What a romantic confession! Such a romantic love story!”
Some people in the crowd said, and it only incited more jeering. They blocked Nina Houry, their faces excited as they chanted, “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!”
“Say yes!”
“Say yes!”
The chanting quickly formed a rhythm, and a large crowd chanted ‘Say yes!’ together. “Nina, please give me a chance,” Zak Cox said, still kneeling on one knee, looking sincere and earnest. However, a sinister smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. Many people surrounding them had been arranged by him.
He couldn’t believe that, surrounded by so many people, Nina Houry would still reject him. If she didn’t agree, she wouldn’t be able to leave. She had no choice but to accept. However, just as he was feeling smug, a high-pressure water gun sprayed from outside. The powerful jet of water forced the crowd apart, clearing a path for Nina to escape.
“Robin!”
Upon seeing Robin Bailey, Nina Houry immediately ran out, feeling rescued.
“What are you doing?!” Zak Cox roared angrily. His expensive suit was soaked, making him look extremely disheveled. The roses on the ground had also been hit by the water, scattering petals everywhere. His carefully planned confession had not only lost its beauty but had become a scene of ruin.
“Sorry, I heard all the shouting, and I thought there was a fire. So, I grabbed the water gun,” Robin Bailey said, holding a high-pressure water gun and pretending to be apologetic as he touched his nose.
A fire? Who would believe that? Those in the know silently scoffed.
Especially Zak Cox, he looked at Robin Bailey with hatred in his eyes. He had never hated anyone as much as he did now. Today, everything had been ruined by the boy in front of him. Everything!
Nevertheless, he still had some self-control. He didn’t lose his temper but instead picked up a bouquet of roses that hadn’t been soaked. He stepped forward, his eyes sincere, “Nina, I…”
He wanted to propose once again. However…
Psh! Another stream of water sprayed him, leaving his head drenched and washing away the leaves from the roses in his hand. Zak Cox’s face instantly turned gloomy as he looked at Robin Bailey: “You!”
“Sorry, my hand slipped. There’s something wrong with this water gun’s switch,” Robin Bailey said, pointing to the gun.
“You!” Zak Cox was furious but still held back because this was his best chance to confess his love. He stepped forward again and signaled the people around him. Instantly, a crowd surrounded them.
“Nina, I truly love you,” Zak Cox said with a seemingly passionate gaze. He reached out a hand, intending to grab Nina Houry’s hand.
Then, with a bang, someone grabbed his hand. Robin Bailey’s somewhat heavy voice followed, “What do you think you’re doing? This is my sister-in-law. How dare you touch her?”
“Damn it!” This time, Zak Cox could no longer hold back. He immediately swung a fist.
But all people heard was a snap, followed by a scream. Zak Cox clutched his arm and curled up on the ground, his face contorted in pain. Just a moment ago, he had thrown a punch, thinking he could force Robin Bailey to back off. But Robin Bailey had deftly twisted his arm, breaking it.
A heart-wrenching scream filled the air.
“So, you were planning to make a move on my wife’s sister?” Robin Bailey looked at Zak Cox, standing with his hands behind his back.
However, Nina Houry pouted behind him, feeling somewhat unhappy, “All day long, it’s ‘my wife, my wife.’ Is my sister the only one in your eyes? Hmph.”
She felt that Robin Bailey took care of her only because she was Elise’s sister. It was both good and bad. The good part was that she could see that Robin truly loved her sister. The bad part was… Hmph!
“Zak, are you okay? Is anything wrong?”
“Zak, get up, you’re scaring us.”
“If something happens to you here, we’ll be in big trouble.”
Seeing Zak Cox on the ground, the surrounding crowd hurried to help him up, all of them panicking. Given his status, Zak Cox couldn’t afford to have an accident here. After a short pause, Zak Cox stood up from the ground, clutching his arm and covered in cold sweat. This time, when he looked at Robin Bailey, his face was filled with rage, and he decided to stop pretending.
“Kid, you’ve got guts. Really, you do. You’ve messed up my plans every time, and left me in this state. Do you know who I am? Do you know my status?”
“A lowly security guard, I really don’t know how you dare to meddle in other people’s affairs. Aren’t you afraid you won’t make it home today? Haha, you have no idea who you’ve messed with. Today, with just one command, you’ll end up buried here.”
“And you, Nina Houry, today, whether you want to or not, you will!”
At this moment, Zak Cox completely revealed his true, sinister nature.
