At seven o'clock, almost all the television channels were broadcasting the news.
“Good evening. Today is... Thank you for watching today's news broadcast. Please stay tuned for the following news. The God of War, who's currently still gathering funds for The Veteran's Foundation in Epea, has announced on Twitter that the last stop of his fundraising event is the economic hub of Chanaea—Dellmoor.”
The first piece of news was about the fake God of War's arrival in Dellmoor.
The moment Marilyn saw the words “God of War,” she rushed into the kitchen and exclaimed excitedly, “Look! The news is talking about the man of your dream, Isabella! The God of War is coming to Dellmoor!”
She looked even more excited than Isabella, who was inside the kitchen.
When Isabella heard that, she promptly exited the kitchen and asked in disbelief, “What? He's really coming to Dellmoor?”
If that piece of news is true, that means I'm a step closer to meeting the man of my dreams.
Sadly, when she exited the kitchen, the news had already ended.
Just as Isabella was planning to check the news on Twitter, the second piece of news broadcasted on the television grabbed her and her friend's attention.
“Please stay tuned for the second news. Mr. Harold Campbell from Dellmoor solemnly apologizes to his wife, Ms. Isabella Turner. He hopes she will return home after seeing this news and give him the chance to explain himself.”
When Marilyn and Isabella saw the news, their jaws dropped.
Even though it was only a short piece of news that sounded very serious, it was still broadcasted to everyone in the country, perhaps even to people from across the world.
The audience went wild when they saw that.
After all, someone had used the news broadcast to apologize to his wife.
While they had no idea who Harold was, they certainly knew he was a crazy and romantic man.
After a few seconds, when the two women snapped back to reality, Marilyn shouted at her friend excitedly, “You're about to go viral, Isabella! You were literally on the news!”
Still bewildered, Isabella turned to Marilyn and asked, “Isabella Turner... Was the news talking about me, Marilyn?”
“It should be. The news reporter stated very clearly that Mr. Harold Campbell from Dellmoor solemnly apologizes to his wife, Ms. Isabella Turner. He hopes she will return home after seeing this news and give him the chance to explain himself. Even if there is someone else called Harold Campbell in Dellmoor, there's no way his wife is called Isabella Turner as well and that she's not back home right now,” Marilyn answered with a blank expression.
“I can't believe they even broadcast stuff like this. How much money did my dad give him for him to bribe the crew?” Isabella said angrily, but joy swelled in her heart.
If she hadn't already had a hero in her heart, she would've been willing to entrust herself to Harold, a man who had not only risked his life to protect her but was also thoughtful enough to broadcast an apology on the news, for the rest of her life.
Aren't there many people who fell in love after marrying each other?
An urge to try falling in love with Harold suddenly appeared in Isabella's mind.
“Are you angry at him for spending your dad's money to please you, or are you angry that he's fooling around and making you famous in front of everyone in the country?” Marilyn asked somewhat jealously.
Right then, the sound of helicopters whirring could be heard outside Marilyn's home.
