Her life five years ago didn't seem happy or settled.
What was she thinking now?
No matter what happened five years ago, at least in her memory, it was Sheldon and the Joneses that was nice to her and gave her a second life, wasn't it?
"Nora, you can't be so selfish. Are you going to ignore what the Joneses did for you because of Derek?" She thought.
She suddenly regained her senses and realized that Sheldon was already standing in front of her.
He gently held her hand, "Nora, will you marry me?" As he spoke, he took out the ring and picked up her right hand. He was about to put it on her finger without waiting for her answer.
Derek's face was cold in the crowd. Easton looked anxious and fixed his eyes on the ring.
Derek had a thin blade between his fingertips, and he prepared the strength on his waist. He thought evilly, " I'll cut off Sheldon's hands if he dares to put the ring on Nora's finger. He will never hold the ring again."
Nora stared at the ring and watched as it drew closer and closer to her finger. Her heart thumped, and she withdrew her finger in an instant.
Sheldon was stilted.
No one expected this at such a critical moment. The crow thought that he was about to succeed. The noises quiet down.
Derek narrowed his eyes and slowly retracted the blade.
Sheldon had no idea that his fingers had just almost gone, and he was now filled with anger and embarrassment.
How dared this hateful woman refused him in front of so many people?
Damn it. He couldn't reveal his anger.
He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger, "Nora, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nora looked a little flustered and said, "I'm sorry, Sheldon, I, I haven't thought about it yet. Let me think about it. I have to go."
She then strode away and even started jogging. It looked as if Sheldon was a monster that would chase her, and her action was undoubtedly a slap in his face again.
The father and son in the crowd suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The little guy said happily, "I knew it. Mom wouldn't have such bad taste and be with this kind of guy. Hmph!"
Derek was in a good mood. With a random gesture, the man who secretly protected Nora immediately followed her.
Not only that, but he also asked his man to take Easton with him, "Your mother must be in a bad mood tonight. You stay with her for tonight. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
Derek could see Nora's tangled expression all the time. He didn't want her to overthink, so he sent their son to her without hesitation.
Easton was very happy to sleep with Nora.
As for Derek, he still stood where he was. When the crowd dispersed, he followed Sheldon at a certain distance.
Sheldon put on a gloomy face, but he didn't go home. Instead, he went to a famous nightclub and ordered a few prostitutes to accompany him.
