Just as she was deep in thought, she looked up and saw Max humming a song as he walked in.
He seemed to be in a good mood. No one could tell that he had just fallen out with his mother.
Laura quickly got up and walked over.
"How is your mom? Is she still mad?"
To her surprise, Max seemed so happy when seeing her. He rushed over to pick her up in the air, spinning around.
Laura was startled by what he was doing. She had screamed for quite a while before he finally let her go.
She turned pale with fright. After she caught her breath, she punched his shoulder.
"What are you doing? You're scaring me!"
Max smiled and said, "You're scared? I thought you were braver than this."
Seeing Laura glaring at him, he held back the smile and put her down.
"Laura, there's something I need to ask you."
Seeing him suddenly looking sincere, Laura hesitated and asked, "What is it?"
Max thought for a while and said, "Hold on."
Then he headed out in a hurry.
Laura was taken back, she was really confused by what he was doing.
It didn't take long before Max was back. He was running in such a hurry that he was a little out of breath.
Laura saw him with a stack of documents in his hand. He put the papers on the desk and then took out his wallet. He then took out all his bank cards in it.
Laura looked at all this in amazement. Before she could react, she saw him kneel on one knee to her with all those items in his hands.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Laura was astonished. She subconsciously reached out to pull him up.
However, Max refused to get up.
He looked at Laura earnestly and said, "Laura, I don't know how to express my love to you with words because everything romantic would seem a bit dramatic and insincere now at this moment.
Therefore, I can only profess my feelings to you in the most primitive and direct way. I love you, and I meant what I said to my mom just now. I wanted to marry you, and that's a serious decision. I didn't just say that to fool her.
Laura, these are the certificates for my properties and company shares. All these bank cards have the code on their back. I've got nothing else for you but these now. Trust me, even if I am not a member of the Nixon family, and I don't have a solid family background from now on, I can still create a great future for us on my own!"
Laura froze when she heard that.
She looked at Max with her mind blank.
"Are you..."
Max held the documents and asked sincerely, "Laura, will you marry me?"
After moments of astonishment, Laura felt overwhelmed with mixed feelings upon realizing what was happening.
She felt warm waves surging her heart, eyes brimmed with tears.
Seeing his sincere gaze, she felt she had been such a ridiculous and stupid coward.
Max was observing the change of her expression. He seemed very confident, but nobody knew how nervous he was at that moment.
He was scared that Laura would turn him down.
After all, she hadn't decided if she should be with him till today.
Laura pursed her lips and snorted softly, "That's all you've got to ask me to marry you? Stop daydreaming!"
Max's face changed.
It was just as what he had thought...
“She didn't want to marry me?”
