Victoria felt a bit embarrassed after saying it. Since growing up, she had never spoken these lifelong commitment words to Jack. Her eyes fixed on his face, eager to see his reaction.
But the man stood there as if acupuncture had immobilized him, showing no response, not even a blink of an eye.
What's going on?
Victoria scratched her head in confusion.
After hearing what Victoria said, Jack's mind seemed to explode with a dazzling white light. For a moment, rationality shattered, and his heart seemed to stop beating.
Victoria's words kept echoing in his ears--
"Let's celebrate our second anniversary, third anniversary, and tenth anniversary together in the future…"
The third anniversary...
Tenth anniversary...
He was used to being prepared in advance, thinking about all the answers that Victoria might give him.
He was accustomed to being well-prepared, contemplating all possible responses Victoria might give him. He considered her rejecting him and divorcing him, hesitating and reconsidering, or even compromising with him due to his injury.
He had thought of various possibilities, but one thing he had not considered—
Victoria could talk about the future, even the distant future...
She said that in the future...
Speaking of the tenth anniversary...
Victoria placed him in her future.
Seeing Jack's lack of reaction, Victoria waved his hand in front of his eyes, but there was still no reaction. Victoria suddenly became anxious.
"Are you alright? Why aren't you moving?"
Did he faint again?
Can someone faint with their eyes open?
"Don't scare me!"
Victoria nervously rushed over and hugged him, wanting to ring the bell and call the doctor!
Jack's eyelashes finally trembled. He was like a deep, ink-like sea. On the surface, the waves were calm, but in reality, the depths of the sea had already set off huge waves.
His dark eyes looked at Victoria, his tone tense and uncertain, "Say it again?"
Victoria was taken aback, and immediately repeated the previous sentence obediently, "Don't scare me!"
Jack said, "...The previous sentence."
Victoria said, "Are you alright? Why aren't you moving?"
Jack shook his head.
Victoria blinked her watery eyes, finally understanding what he wanted to hear. She pouted disapprovingly. "What's the matter with you? I brewed that line for so long, almost pulling my hair out to come up with a commitment to be together forever, and turns out you didn't hear it clearly?"
Victoria was dissatisfied, and snorted arrogantly, "Okay, even though you didn't hear it clearly, but since I have a good temper and generosity, I'll reluctantly say it again for you!"
"I mean, on the first anniversary of our marriage, we didn't celebrate together. So, for the future, the second anniversary, third anniversary, and tenth anniversary, we must celebrate together... Got it?"
Jack looked at the girl with vivid and charming features in his arms, his eyes becoming deep and passionate.
Whether it was reaching a cooperation project worth tens of billions, or mastering the power that everyone envied, nothing surprised him like this moment. It was as if his entire bloodstream had stopped flowing.
"You won't divorce me, and we'll be together for the rest of our lives?"
He was overwhelmed by the huge surprise. Drowned in immense surprise, he feared it might be a fleeting dream, still uncertain.
Victoria rolled her eyes swiftly, like a cunning little fox, and casually touched his back, teasingly saying, "No, I was just joking just now, teasing you!"
