Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671 A Successful Proposal

As Amelia stepped back to one side and saw Oscar carrying Tony standing on the other side, she immediately trotted over and intertwined her fingers with his.

“Mommy, you’re back? I missed you so much,” Tony exclaimed.

“My good boy, I’ll cook you your favorite poached pears tomorrow,” Amelia said.

Tony instantly broke into a bright smile. “I love you the most, Mommy.”

Caressing his little, chubby cheeks, Amelia said, “Look, Tony. Mr. Pretty is about to propose to your godmother. They will get married after a successful proposal. Are you excited about it?”

Tony nodded and replied like an adult, “Tiffy isn’t young anymore. It’s time she should get married. Then I will have a godfather who will love me too.”

Amelia giggled at that.

Together with Oscar, they cast their gazes toward Tiffany and witnessed the latter’s happy moment with their own eyes.

“Tiff, I’m not good at honeyed words. But just like the ninety-nine roses I gifted you, I will love you, adore you, and pamper you until the day I die after we get married,” Derrick said sincerely, fixing his gaze on Tiffany affectionately.

Tears began to well on the rims of Tiffany’s eyes as she stared lovingly at the man. The two stood rooted to the ground for a long while.

As a freelance novelist, she had written numerous proposal scenes and could use various beautiful vocabularies to describe the process. But now that it was her turn, she could no longer do the same. All that she could feel was pin-drop silence blanketing her surrounding, and all that was left was only her exchanging gazes with the love of her life.

“Tiff, marry me.” Derrick pulled out a small, exquisite box and went on one knee before Tiffany.

Tiffany was still standing there blankly.

Derrick took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto Tiffany’s finger. With a smile, he uttered, “Tiff, the ring is on your finger, and that means you’re my wife from now on.”

Tiffany lifted her hand and brought the dazzling diamond to her line of vision. Her eyes sparkled with emotions.

A moment later, she broke into a vibrant smile. “The ring is stunning; I love it. I guess I have no other choice than to accept your proposal. You’re my man from today onward. You can’t cheat on me, and neither can you mistreat me. Got that?”

Derrick’s eyes were full of adoration as he joyfully pulled her into his embrace and answered with a deep voice, “Of course.”

Upon a successful proposal, Amelia’s family of three walked up to them. Looking at Tiffany, Tony ran a finger across his cheek and quipped, “Tiffy, you look embarrassed. Seems like someone’s getting married, huh?”

Tiffany stared at the boy in amusement and reached out to pinch his cheek. “You cheeky boy. How dare you tease me?”

Tony did not retaliate and instead allowed her to pinch his cheek.

After she let go of her hand, Tony turned to Derrick with a scowl on his face and said, “Mr. Pretty, I will leave Tiffy in your care. You must be very, very nice to her, or else I will beat you up when I grow up.”

“Sure thing, Tony,” Derrick answered in a serious tone. Anyone could tell from his gaze that he did not treat the boy as a child.

Amelia looked at Tiffany. “Congrats, Tiff. You’re getting married. You must live a blissful life with Derrick and make sure not to throw tantrums.”

With the latter’s face almost buried in the bouquet of roses, she bobbed her head with a smile.

Then, as if he was a magician, Derrick took out another slightly larger, exquisite box out of nowhere. Upon opening it, he pulled out a diamond necklace engraved with “Tiff&Derry” and put it on Tiffany. “Do you like it?”

After picking up the necklace for a glance, Tiffany turned to him and asked, “When did you prepare this?”

“I specially customized it. I participated in the customization too. Do you like it?”
