“Is that all right?” Ming came to me and looked down at me.
Through the transparent lens, his eyes were gentle and with a little expectation.
I looked at him and thought about what happened in the past.
Ming was very good to Lester and me. Although his love was not vigorous, it was warm.
Maybe such feelings could last long.
I just thought for a moment and nodded, “OK, I’ll listen to you.”
Ming knelt on one knee and held my hand. His clear eyes were full of joy, “thank you. Give me the rest of your life. I will give you the best.”
“I don’t need the best.” I shook my head. “I want you to be with us.”
I meant Lester, of course.
“Thank you for the opportunity.”
I couldn’t help being embarrassed. “You get up. You seem to be proposing.”
“OK.” Ming stood up at once. His hand fell gently on my head. “I have to propose to you ceremoniously.”
“I don’t mean that...”
“I mean that.”
Ming held my hand tightly and smiled all the time.
He seemed to be very pleased with the fact that I had agreed to his proposal.
James looked and nodded. “OK, that’s it. I will inform them.”
Ming took me away. In the car he asked me, “what are you going to do next? I suggest you stay in York. If you are free recently, I will take you to see the new community or the place you like. And I think you can bring Lester here. Dad will definitely like him.”
When I listened to his next plan, I was not happy at all.
Although I thought long ago that I would probably marry Ming in the end.
It was true now, but I was in a heavy mood.
“What’s the matter?” I didn’t speak so he asked with concern.
“I’m fine. I listen to you. I think about going back for a few days and telling Master about it. After all, there is no team here. If I come here, I have a lot to think about.”
Marlin and Inez were not good to me, so in my heart Murray was my father.
“Then I’ll be with you.”
“No, I’ll go back by myself. Don’t worry. I have no problem myself.”
In order to reassure him, my hand gently shook the hand he put on the car.
He was silent for a moment and said, “OK.”
After that accident, Ming moved all my things to my home in York No.1, including my computer and professional books.
We went upstairs together by elevator. Looking at my house and his house, I hesitated and said, “I have some work to do.”
With that, I opened the door of my house.
Ming stood behind me. I couldn’t see his expression.
He was silent for a few seconds and said, “well, what’s your next plan? When are you going back to Sceaux?”
“I’ll leave in a few days.”
“Well, you should be careful at home and call me if you need.”
Listening to Ming’s concern for me, I felt guilty immediately.
I decided to leave in two days because I was worried about Sean.
I went into the room and sat in front of the computer. I looked at the black computer screen and my brain was blank.
How was Sean doing now?
Losing something so important must have a great impact on him now.
But Sean was powerful. He must have no problem.
I sat there and thought. I fell asleep in the chair unconsciously.
After a long time, the cell phone on the table was buzzing.
