"Who did this for you?" William turned and coldly said, "He hurt me so badly four years ago, and even now, N.E. still hasn't recovered. If I don't teach him a lesson, I am not a man!"
"I know you did it for me."
"Save...!"
"Just take it as I overthought." Alice interrupted him and held his hand tightly. She said in a gentle voice, "In any case, I'll just take it as if you did this for me, because I don't want to separate from you anymore. I don't want to care about everything else, I just want to be with you, and the twins."
William's body stiffened for a few seconds, he looked at her coldly: "Did you say all this because you wanted to save Patrick from my hands?"
Say something about loving him, say something about missing him.
She clearly did not love his character.
There was a hint of jealousy in his voice.
Alice held his hand, and looked at his handsome face.
He didn't believe her.
If he didn't believe her, then it would be difficult. She didn't want to miss another second, nor did she want to waste another second on these doubts.
As she thought about it, Alice turned to look at her surroundings. This was a quiet little town with very few people passing by.
It was a very unique environment.
A bold idea suddenly appeared in Alice's mind.
Even though she knew this place, this time, wasn't appropriate.
She held William's hand and suddenly knelt down. Alice raised her head and looked at William.
"William, please marry me."
Alice said in all seriousness, "I want to marry you immediately and never leave you again."
There would be some small setbacks and some arguments between them, but they would not separate.
In the quiet little town, on the long bridge.
A woman proposed to a man.
The man stood there, staring at her, and a second later he flung her hand away with such force that he stepped back, his expression was no longer calm nor composed, but baffled.
Alice knelt there with one knee, her clothes were still stained with blood. It was the first time she saw such an expression on William's face, as if he had seen a ghost.
No.
Even if he saw a ghost, he wouldn't lose his composure like this.
"You, you..." William stood there and glared at her, and for a long time, he did not manage to utter a complete sentence.
Alice looked at him quietly with a little bit of innocence on her fair face.
"You, you, you!" William reached out to feel his sleeves, and stared at her, "Get up first!"
"If you don't agree, I won't get up."
Alice said as she knelt there.
"Then kneel there!" William glared at her fiercely, turned around and left, he walked down the bridge step by step.
Alice was left in the middle of the bridge, speechless.
She was a woman, and she took the initiative to propose. He even run away? Hadn't he been matured? Why fleeing?
Was her urgency frightened him?
But she really did not want to be like Mary and Patrick.
Forget it, let's take it slow.
Alice sighed, she was about to stand up when William suddenly turned and ran back.
After he recovered from his illness, he even walked in a mature manner, and he never ran.
Alice immediately knelt down, William walked back to squat in front of her, approaching her with a face that was darker than before.
"Do you really love me?" William stared at her and asked with a cold voice.
"Yes."
Alice nodded strongly.
"Swear it." William said.
Swear? Was she so untrustworthy?
Alice helplessly raised her hand and looked at him, saying each word, "I swear, I love William. I will only love you this entire life."
"Not enough!" William coldly said as he squatted in front of her and frowned.
An old Italian woman came over the bridge from the grocery store, looked at them confusion.
Listening to William's words, Alice stared into his eyes and continued, "The reason I said I love you was because I wanted to say it, and it was not because of anyone else. Everything I said was true, and if I lied, God could punish me for it."
William stared at her, as if he was examining her.
"Am I good enough?" Alice asked, "Then will you marry me?"
