With that realization, all doubts disappeared from Gideon's eyes.
"It's not like that."
Lena and Charlotte had already moved on to other topics when they suddenly heard Gideon say this and were a bit bewildered.
Both looked at him strangely.
"I want to marry her because I like her. I love her, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. It's not because of the child," Gideon looked firmly at Lena, his resolute gaze leaving her stunned.
What shocked her even more was when Gideon pulled out an engagement ring he had prepared and knelt on one knee in front of Lena.
He looked at Lena solemnly, "Maybe my words aren't enough to move you, but..."
"I'll prove it to you."
As Gideon spoke, Charlotte was secretly observing Lena's expression.
Although she didn't nod in agreement, Charlotte saw the tears in her eyes. If Gideon wasn't lying, it was only a matter of time before she agreed.
"I don't need you guys to accompany me for now," Charlotte said, not wanting to disrupt their lives because of her, "The specific treatment will have to wait until after a consultation with a psychologist."
"Don't worry, if we really need to stimulate her with architectural matters, I'll take her to Albania to see Mr. Rumba," Joe suggested.
Lena and Gideon brightened up, both saying in unison, "That's a good idea."
Mr. Rumba had always been concerned about Charlotte's condition, and before they came, he had specifically asked Lena and Gideon to inform him of the latest updates, saying he wanted to see Charlotte.
