"What are you doing?!" Kieran and I sat up immediately. Kieran got out of bed with a long face. Perhaps Marlon freaked out the neat freak in Kieran by staying so close to him.
I also quickly got out of bed and sat on the sofa. Kieran looked annoyed.
Marlon leisurely sat up, tidied up his clothes, and slowly lounge on another sofa. "I was just trying to feel closer to you!"
"You can save this for your fiancée. All I need is to keep Rachel close to me!" Kieran sat next to me and said, "Rachael, what do you want for our engagement ceremony?"
"You can decide for me!" I smiled at Kieran.
"I know you like it to be simple and neat, like a fairy tale!"
I was a little surprised, because Kieran was right. I had dreamt of having such a ceremony when I was with Marlon. It didn't need to be extravagant or grand, but I wanted to feel like Snow White in it.
"How do you know?" I asked.
Kieran fondled my head and leaned down closer to me, his face almost touching mine. "How can I not!"
I looked into his scarlet eyes and was dumbfounded. His simple answer was filled with love; so were his red eyes. If one of his fans saw this, she would probably have a heart attack. I had to admit this version of Kieran was truly bewitching.
If I hadn't met Marlon first and fallen in deep love with him deep, and if I hadn't known Kieran was like a demon and all of this was just a show, I would have fallen head over heels for him like any other women.
Marlon's inky eyes narrowed as he said, "An engagement ceremony is no big deal? What's there to talk about? At least it should have a unique style."
"That is not the point. What matters is how Rachael wants it to be. Rachael, what kind of engagement rings do you fancy?" Kieran said softly and sat back down.
"I don't care the shape of it. I will like it all the same if it is from you!" I smiled sweetly at Kieran. Rachael, you were Kieran's fiancée now. You were Kieran's fiancée! I hypnotized myself. Only in this way could I barely keep up with Kieran's sweet words.
Marlon snorted coldly, "How long will this ridiculous show last? You don't need to try so hard for the lies. Otherwise, it will come back at you hard!"
"Mr. Redford, you seem confident. Rachael, for Mr. Redford's sake, we must love each other forever and ever!" Kieran smiled.
I also smiled but didn't say anything.
Although I had predicted there would be no sleep tonight, I was still surprised when it came true. The show went on all night, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open. Nevertheless, it was a small price to pay for the big plan.
At last, the dawn fell.
There was a knock on the door. It must be Alicia. Sure enough, Alicia opened the door and entered. She smiled sweetly and said, "Marlon, good morning!"
Alicia was wearing a long pink dress by her ankles. Her long hair was loose, and she was wearing light makeup. It seemed effortless, but it was not. Alicia already calmed down because she had all night to comfort herself. At the very least, she looked cheerful, innocent, and sweet.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Alicia sat down beside Marlon and looked at him docilely.
