CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 The Gift

Oh, he took what she asked last night seriously.

She looked up at the sky, holding back her tears. No wonder Francis could blatantly ignore her because she was so... easy to appease.

Nelson took her to a lively restaurant, a place usually filled with couples.

But the seat at the window was still vacant. Nelson took her to it and said, "Madam, Mr. Landau will be here after his meeting. Please wait a while."

Lilian nodded with a smile.

Nelson didn't stay long. After saying something to the restaurant manager, he left.

Lilian sat by the window. Outside, there were colored neon lights and dazzling towering buildings; inside, there was a loud noise.

A commotion broke out not far away. She turned to look and saw someone proposing.

Everyone in the restaurant was blessing the couple, cheering, shouting, and even screaming.

The lady was moved and covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. The young man held her hand, slipping a diamond ring onto her finger. Then, they embraced tightly amid the blessings.

Seeing that, Lilian smiled unconsciously.

They could embrace each other openly. They were truly blessed.

But there was nothing on her finger.

On the day of their wedding, Mrs. Landau, Francis's mother, had said, "What ceremony does a mute need? Others will laugh if she appears on the stage. It's a complete disgrace!"

Lilian said that he was busy and that a marriage certificate would be enough.

She and Francis became husband and wife without being blessed.

Over the years, he had given her many things-clothes, shoes, precious jewelry, everything but a ring.

How could he easily give away something that symbolized love to him?
