Matthew had thought things through. He would stay out with Elizabeth. Neither of them would be returning to Jupiter Mansion that night.
That way, the two children would not be able to stop them.
Elizabeth nodded. She had to switch off her phone later. That way, the kids would not be able to contact her and beg her to return home.
At that thought, she found herself getting a little taste of mischief
This was her biggest transformation in the many years of her life. She wanted to go all out for once, and do what would make her happy.
They drove on for more than two hours before they finally arrived at a lake in the mountains.
It was the best vacation spot in Mistwood. On weekends, many people would come here for fun.
There was a huge lake surrounded by the road. It made for a beautiful scenery.
There was also a village with many hotels.
It was already ten o’clock at night by the time they reached their destination. There were still many people strolling by the lake. Some were even playing with fireworks.
Elizabeth lay in Matthew’s arms as they admired the moonlight o itside the window. They also saw many couples by the roadside.
Her face lit up with great happiness. She had no need to envy the other couples anymore. She had someone to lean on, whose lap was reserved just for her.
“Matt, let’s go down for a walk!”
She noticed that they were getting closer to the village near the lake. She knew that they would be staying there that night.
Matthew nodded. He instructed the chauffeur, “Larry, please get us checked in at the hotel. We’ll walk there.”
Larry turned around and replied, “Yes, Mr. Hilton.”
After they got down from the car, Matthew held on to Elizabeth’s hand. Elizabeth recalled the company’s New Year’s Day celebration that would take place next day, which meant that the break would begin after that.
In the center of a bunch of candles laid out in the shape of a heart stood a beautiful woman. She carried a bouquet of flowers in her hands as a man kneeled down in front of her with a ring in his hand.
No matter what happens in the future, I’ll be by your side. I’ll love you forever. We’ll grow from a family of two to a family of four. We’ll have a son and daughter. We’ll grow old together as our children grow up. Even then, I still want to hold. your hand. Babe, I love you! Will you marry me?”
Everyone let out cheers of encouragement. Elizabeth’s eyes filled up with tears. She finally understood how moving it was to be with someone she loved.
She held on to Matthew’s hand tightly as she tilted her head to look at him.
There was no expression on his face, but Elizabeth knew that he definitely felt the same way she did. Deep down, they gave the couple their blessings.
Matthew turned to gaze at her deeply.
Their eyes met. For a moment, it was as if they were the only ones left in the world.
Matthew’s parted his thin lips lightly. His voice was terse and cold as he got serious.
He said to her, “Lizzy, will you be by my side forever?”
