"Women can behave very foolishly at times. They can sacrifice everything for the sake of love!" Fiona exclaimed. She thought very little of Shyla's love for Ethon because it had never been reciprocated.
People lived with too many regrets, pain, and sorrow often accompanying unrequited love or a break-up of lovers.
"Do you pity her?" Ethon asked, raising his eyebrows.
"No, I hate her! It's as the old saying goes, 'Miserable people must have awful attributes!'" Frowning, she shook her head.
Ethon stared at her for a few seconds before suddenly reaching out and pulling her into his arms. Resting his chin on her head, he rubbed her waist with his other hand. "What are you doing?" Fiona asked in a flirtatious tone.
"Will you marry me, Nana?" Ethon smiled as he narrowed his eyes. He looked serious and intent, the depths of his love evident in his eyes.
Ethon's was a marriage proposal with neither flowers nor a ring. Fiona had painted the scene of her proposal in her mind ten million times over, but nothing prepared her for the immense joy she felt when it did finally happen.
However, they were both in the office, and Fiona was stunned into silence. She had never expected that he would propose to her at work and thought it was very romantic.
"Ethon... Aren't we too young to be getting married so soon?" she asked, stuttering from her excitement.
"You think we are too young? Nana, did you just graduate from kindergarten? Don't you want to marry me?" Ethon was not bothered at all.
They both loved each other very much. After they had moved in together, they had done what they should and shouldn't have. Stanley and Madeline who were Fiona's guardians were also aware that she was in a relationship with Ethon. They had no objections to it. They thought it best to let the two decide what they wanted for their future. It was needless to interfere.
It was just like what happened between Mandy and Nathan several years ago. At first, Madeline had not been in support of their relationship because at the time, Nathan had a reputation for being a playboy in City A. However, despite lots of troubles early on, Mandy and Nathan were able to sort out their differences and rebuild their relationship. They were now reunited.
