Seeing Nicole's surprised face, Clayton smiled with his eyes.
"I know that this might be a little rushed, but I've been thinking about this moment for a long, long time. From the time we first started dating, I've already been thinking about what kind of method I should use to propose to you that would seem less cheesy...''
Nicole's body stiffened slightly. She looked at him, pretending to be calm.
"So, you figured it out?"
Clayton shook his head.
"No, but I can't wait any longer. I'll think about it slowly after I'm done proposing, okay?"
His attitude was sincere, and he did not look like he was lying.
Nicole could not help but take a look outside.
Those light blue letters were still in front of her eyes. They looked like stars falling in the quiet night and were indescribably beautiful.
Nicole never dreamed that she would one day be touched by something so tacky and simple.
Clayton saw that she did not speak and felt like his heart was about to leap out of his throat.
"In fact, the flowers and ring are in the car on the way home. I also prepared a surprise at the French restaurant. Even before entering the door, I arranged for flower petals and candles..."
Nicole looked at him in amazement.
She did not notice a thing.
Clayton smiled. "I didn’t want to seem so shallow to fool you with those, but I also think that you should experience what others have experienced, whether it's romantic or tacky... But I was really worried that you wouldn't like it, so..."
He paused and raised his eyes to look at her.
"Now, the proposal outside is my last surprise. I hope that you'll like it."
Nicole pursed her lips and clenched her hand that was wearing the ring.
She smiled and said, "Mm, I love it."
Although there were no flowers, Nicole did not feel regretful.
