Why did it feel like she cared more about the ring than the
person who gave it to her?
“Doesn’t that mean you’ve put a ring on my finger twice?
Once for the wedding, and again today.”
Roderick nodded, “Yeah, I’m at a loss.”
“How are you at a loss?”
“For me, it’s the second time, but for the you right now, it’s the
first.”
Madeleine’s eyes widened a bit, then she frowned and said,
“Then I should be the one at a loss. I don’t even know how you
proposed to me back then.”
Roderick scoffed, deliberately teasing her, “What if I said you
proposed to me?”
“Impossible.”
Madeleine shook her head, her answer firm and decisive.

She had amnesia, it wasn’t like her brain was actually broken.
Her, propose to Ricki?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
Seeing that she wasn’t crying anymore, Roderick breathed a
sigh of relief.
“No way. How about you propose again?”
Madeleine imagined Roderick on one knee and felt a strange
surge of excitement.
Her arch–nemesis!
Her rival!
Kneeling before her, proposing with a devout look in his eyes!
Just thinking about it made her feel incredibly satisfied.
Roderick usually went along with her, but on this matter, he was
being very stubborn.
“No, proposing twice is bad luck.”
“Aww…”
Chapter 115
Madeleine was clearly disappointed, her brows knitted together.
Before she could decide whether to start whining, she saw
Roderick’s brow smooth out as he took half a step back.
Then, he moved one leg back, lowered his body, and knelt on
one knee.
He naturally took Madeleine’s hand, his gaze unusually serious
and sincere.
“Maddie.”
His voice was low, laced with a smile, “Are you willing… to
spend the rest of your life with me?”
Madeleine covered her mouth with her other hand in surprise.
It wasn’t a proposal, but it was more heart–fluttering than one.
He wasn’t asking if she would marry him.
He was asking if she would spend the rest of her life with him.
Because what Roderick had always wanted was never just for
her to be his wife.
What Roderick wanted was to spend a lifetime with her, hand in

hand, safe and sound.
Madeleine could barely breathe; it was as if her ears were
blocked, hearing nothing but her own frantic heartbeat.
She stared at Roderick, tears welling up in her eyes once more.
She could be certain that the her right now, the her without
those years of memories, had already fallen for Roderick.
But how could these budding feelings possibly compare to the
love Roderick had for her?
It was so unfair to him…
Roderick was also extremely nervous at that moment, his palms slightly sweaty, his heart uncontrollably beating a little faster.
Looking up at Madeleine’s shimmering, tear–filled eyes, his
Adam’s apple bobbed gently.
He was scared, scared Madeleine would say no.
This moment felt like a century.
Not until he saw Madeleine nod firmly did the gloom in his heart finally vanish.
Chapter 115
Madeleine sniffled and choked out, “Ricki, do you know who I
trust most in my life?”
“Hmm?”
“Myself.”
Madeleine turned her hand over, interlacing her fingers with his.
“When I chose to marry you back then, it must have been
because I had a definite answer in my heart. So I’ll stick to what
I thought back then and be with you, for a lifetime.”
This time, it was Roderick’s turn to cry.
His eyes instantly turned red. Not wanting Madeleine to see
him cry, he stood up, pulled her into his arms, and tightened his
grip.
“Then it’s a deal. No backing out.”
“Whoever backs out is a puppy.”
Madeleine’s voice was muffled, but she hugged him even
tighter.
A horn blew, and the cruise ship began to move slowly across
the sea. Madeleine sat down with Roderick, eating dinner while
