His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 460

"Don't worry about that." Burke gave a gentle smile. He had never told Leila all about his family circumstances, but today he was determined to tell her everything. "Leila, try this. It tastes very good," he said affectionately.

He put the sakura jelly in front of Leila which was crystal-clear with a beautiful and bright cherry blossom inside. In doing so, it was easy for Leila to find the diamond ring in the middle of the translucent jelly.

"What is this, Burke?" Leila was shocked. Even though she could somehow sense what Burke was about to do, she was still feeling weak in her knees and flushed when she saw the diamond ring in the jelly.

When she was a little girl, she always imagined the scene when a man would proposal to her someday. It should be romantic, touching and she would nod her agreement with tearful eyes glistening with love and hope.

Now the man sitting across from her not only had a respectable job but was also handsome. Moreover, he also came from a good family. It seemed that from every aspect, he was the perfect husband, but in comparison, Burke and Charles were as different as chalk and cheese.

Leila was surprised as Burke smiled softly at her, taking out the diamond ring from the jelly. After wiping it with a tissue carefully, he stood up abruptly and knelt over which startled Leila. It all seemed like a dream, a beautiful dream.

Even though there were only two of them in the restaurant, Leila still felt a pinch of embarrassment on all the attention she was receiving. Therefore, she reached out, in a bid to stop him. "Burke, please don't do this. Just stand up."

"Leila, don't stop me please. Let me finish what I am saying or I will not stand up," Burke said firmly. He looked at Leila with his sincere eyes optimistic of their future.

In fact, Burke was handsome and the most important thing was that he was a dignified man. He was pursuing Leila for so many years and he never gave up hope. Leila might have accepted his proposal if she was not such a wavering girl.

However, she was still not content with him.

Upon seeing this, Leila's eyebrows knitted into a frown and had no idea how to respond.

Staring at Leila, Burke was so eager to take their relationship forward since he courted Leila for many years. This was a big leap into their future.

"Leila, we may not have been together for a long time but we have known each other for so many years. And I am sure that you know me well and know what kind of person I have become." Burke said in a soft tone, as his eyes filled with affection and admiration for her.

All of a sudden, melodious music began to play in the background, with violin as the highlight. It was a dream for every girl to be proposed in such a romantic manner. Leila's heart was warmed up by the entire set up.

"I remember you telling me that this is your favorite song." Upon perceiving Leila's subtle and content look, Burke felt that everything he had done was worth the effort. "I remember that when we were in the high school, you said that you liked this song, so I played truant to learn this song. Do you still remember that?"

"Yes, I remember it almost clearly," replied Leila softly as she chuckled to herself. She nodded slightly and then said to Burke,"You did many things for me in high school and sacrificed a lot. I will never forget it, but..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Burke interrupted her mid-way. "I am so glad that you could remember all of that." Burke said cheerfully and went on,"Leila, we have been through a lot and I hope..." He paused for a moment and continued,"I hope we could spend the rest of our lives together. I hesitated for a quite long time, because I didn't know how to express my feelings. I know you only have a favorable impression on me. But I am not sure if it is enough for you to accept me," he said sincerely.

He gazed at Leila with hopeful eyes and went on,"I thought about executing many grand and luxurious scenes that would move you while surprising you, but in the end I chose the most conventional one. I remember everything you said to me including what you like and dislike. I don't want to wait like this anymore knowing that I want to spend my life with you and I don't want to remain in a state of apprehension, because I am afraid that I will lose the chance before I could say these wonderful words to you.
