“Did you miss me so much that you almost went crazy?” Jude winked at Wyatt mischievously.
“Yeah, I did!” Wyatt gave a frank answer without any intention to hide his thoughts. In fact, this was the first time he was ever so honest to Jude about his own feelings. After all, he had always been a reserved man who wasn’t good at expressing himself until he finally decided to be brave.
When the light turned red up ahead, Wyatt suddenly held Jude’s hands and said, “Jude, will you marry me?”
Jude was stunned by Wyatt’s proposal that reminded her of a similar experience in the past. When we got together back then, it happened at the moment I wasn’t ready; now that he is proposing to me, I didn’t expect to be taken aback the same way.
“I was actually planning to propose to you when we got home, but I couldn’t wait anymore. Do you know, Jude? All I have in mind now is just to be with you as soon as I can. I can’t bear to wait for one more second! Therefore, I decided to propose now and hereby ask—will you marry me, Jude?”
In fact, Jude was able to tell how painful it must have been for Wyatt before she came back. Every second and minute must have felt like years to him! He must have grown more anxious in waiting for my return with every minute, yet he was afraid he’d be disappointed anytime. Maybe that’s why he can’t wait anymore. Jude looked at Wyatt in a sympathetic manner.
“I’ve used all my money to buy a house. Although it’s not a big one with only two rooms, this is the best house I can afford within my limits. Besides, I’ve also saved a sum of money for renovation so that you could have the house renovated however you like. Apart from that, I have a pension that should be enough for me to pay off the monthly loan, so you don’t have to worry about anything. I know the place is a little small with only two rooms, but since there are just the two of us, I think the vibe is still going to be heartwarming. Anyway, if you want a bigger house, I’ll work harder and get us a bigger one. Jude, I know I’m not the best choice you deserve, but I am willing to sacrifice everything for you! And I will do my best to give you a decent and happy life!”
Jude looked at Wyatt with her tearful eyes, wondering what else she could ask of a man who was willing to give his all for her.
