Two months later, Charles left the hospital and came back to the company to work. Sarah had decided to go back to the company as well, but Mr. Thomas had since convinced her not to return. Mr. Thomas had come to Sarah one day with a proposition, “Sarah, since you and Charles love each other so much, how about getting married early? That way, I can stop worrying about it.”
The idea of it all happening so soon made Sarah feel a little anxious. She answered, “Mr. Thomas, the marriage is too early. What’s more, Charles doesn’t know about it either. I don’t know how he feels about it all.”
Mr. Thomas laughed, “You mean that you will promise to marry Charles as long as he wants to?”
Sarah didn’t know how to answer, so she just nodded. She thought that this decision should come from Charles.
Mr. Thomas smiled, “Then it will be easy. Charles has known about this the whole time. We told him, it is he who wants to know your thoughts first. Therefore, it’s all up to you. He said that he didn’t want to force you.”
Sarah was stunned. Mr. Thomas continued, “So, what do you think?”
Sarah lowered her head and said, “If that’s the case, I will negotiate with Charles.”
Mr. Thomas burst into laughter and then said, “It seems that Charles has his work cut out for him.”
Sarah asked, “Mr. Thomas, why are you supporting us? After all, I don’t really deserve Charles.”
Mr. Thomas smiled and shook his head, “There is no right or wrong match when it comes to love. It’s all up to you two. Moreover...” Suddenly, Mr. Thomas began to cough and placed a handkerchief over his mouth. Sarah was worried and asked, “Mr. Thomas, what’s the matter with you?”
Sarah was so moved that she almost began to cry. She thought about how much time and energy it would take to decorate a room as big as this. Charles had been so busy recently. Sarah turned around and asked, “How long did it take you to do this?”
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Charles on one knee, with one hand holding a large bunch of flowers and the other holding a small red box. When he opened it, inside was a beautiful diamond ring. Charles looked up at her longingly and said, “Sarah, marry me. I love you!”
Sarah was so stunned; she didn’t know what to say. She just stared at him, shocked but full of joy.
Charles said sincerely, “I will be with you forever. I will love you and make you happy. I will make you the happiest woman in the world! Sarah, marry me!”
Hearing his words, Sarah finally cried. She said nothing, just stepped forward to pick up the flowers and the diamond ring, and then hugged him, “I will. I will be with you forever!”
