Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568 Every Day Is a Good Day

Kenneth dared not open his eyes, fearing that all of this was only his imagination. If the one lying in the morgue is really Elise, if she really died, what should I do? He regretted not having made her his wife sooner and stayed by her side all the time, and he regretted having wasted his time dealing with the enemy… He regretted everything that had failed to prevent her death, and he even regretted that the person who died wasn’t him. At this very moment, he finally realized that he was so faint-hearted, he couldn’t bear the slightest possibility of losing Elise.

“Do you have to be so scared upon Faye’s death?” Just then, Elise’s voice sounded in his ear.

In an instant, his eyes took on a sober and calm expression. As he confirmed that she was still alive, his tense nerves relaxed at last. Letting go of Elise, he stared at her bright and clear eyes for a few seconds before walking out of the hospital without saying a word.

Even after the man’s figure disappeared completely from the corridor, Elise didn’t understand his purpose in coming here. However, she couldn’t get the embrace just now out of her mind. In the beginning, she had resisted him, but as time went on, she came to get along peacefully with him. And now, she no longer resisted or warned him when he got too familiar with her repeatedly. Where on earth has the devoted and affectionate Elise gone?

…

In order not to worry Robin and Laura, Elise made a special trip back to the courtyard house, only to bump right into Alexander as soon as she reached the entrance.

Elise froze; the first thing that came to her mind was how Kenneth had embraced her just now. Her head buzzed, and she lost her ability to think. The only thing she was certain about was that she didn’t know how to face Alexander.

However, Alexander seemed to have a lot on his mind as well. Seeing Elise standing dazedly in place for a few seconds, he strode up to her, took her hand, and led her out of the house.

“Alexander?” Elise called out to the man while walking behind him. “Alexander, what’s wrong with you?”

Alexander wore a somber face without saying a word. After the couple got into the car by the side of the road, he suddenly produced an exquisitely designed box from his pocket. Then, he opened the box, revealing a pair of rings that rested quietly inside it.

Elise was stunned on the spot. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Alexander didn’t seem to be joking as he said earnestly in all sincerity, “This is Dring, the ring that I proposed to you with for the first time. It represents my determined and everlasting love for you. This ring is called The Blue Feather. There’s a myth in the diamond producing areas in South America that when the groom puts a blue diamond ring on the bride’s finger, they’ll find true love and be together for life. This is the most beautiful blue diamond that I found while inspecting the diamond mine in South America, and now I’m using it to propose to you again. Marry me, Ellie. I don’t care how apprehensive you are or how reluctant you are, but please allow me to be selfish for once by becoming my wife and letting me live and die with you.”

Elise instinctively did some mental calculations, and it had only been less than a week since her 18th birthday according to the date written on her ID. Perhaps he had wanted to take this ring out a few days ago, only to put it off until now for my sake. But can I really accept him just like this, with danger being present everywhere and a man who seems to be more than friends with me? Alexander’s such a kind person, and I don’t want to hurt him at all. But lying is itself hurtful.

Seeing that Elise didn’t answer him for a long time, Alexander lowered his voice with a somewhat hurt expression. “You don’t want to marry me?”

“Of course not!” Elise retorted, but she hummed and hawed without being able to say a complete sentence. “I-I just feel that this isn’t a good time to get married.”

“Does that mean you have no feelings for me anymore?” Alexander asked stubbornly.
