It was the first time Christopher proposed to me in such a serious manner. No romantic dinner, no bouquet of fresh flowers. He was staring at me genuinely as if he already made his decision long before he opened his mouth.
Tears welled in my eyes as I held my mouth, trying my best not to cry.
“Eve, I know there’s a lot going on beneath your cheerful facade, and I want you to know that I’m willing to bear your burden and protect you until death do us part. If you marry me, I’ll make you the happiest woman in the entire world.”
I was absolutely ecstatic, and I almost reached my hand out to let Christopher put the ring on me. However, I hesitated. It was not because I didn’t want to marry him, but there was one more thing I needed to ask before I made my decision.
“Christopher!” I choked as I gazed upon his handsome face, “Do you really mean it?”
“Of course I mean it. You got two choices, Eve. One, you kiss me and I help you put the ring on you. Two, you wear the ring yourself, kiss me, and say that I’m your man and no one can steal me from you.”
Even when Christopher was proposing, he was still a sweet-talker. I was feeling all emotional, but that made me chuckled a little. I whispered, “Is there a third option?”
