Chapter 287 - I trust you. But Im scared (2/2)

He was really asking her to marry him?

To his shock, she burst into tears and suddenly wrapped her hands around his waist while she buried her head on his chest.

”Why were you snubbing me the entire time? I thought you hated me” She said in between tears.

He had never treated her like that before so it had frightened her to see him suddenly act cold.

Just a few minutes back, she had thought he was slowly beginning to lose interest in her. But now, he was suddenly asking her to marry him?

She had not really thought about marriage so it had really surprised her a lot.

”If I hate you who do I get married to?” He asked again but could not hug her back because he was trying to be careful so he would not lose the ring inside the pool.

Sara continued to cry. She was relieved. For over an hour, she had been tensed. She released the tension with the tears.

”What...what.. kind of proposal is this? Were you planning to drown me?” She complained with a laugh while she continued to cry.

She had a mixed emotion and did not even know what else to say.

Muchen laughed before using his free hand to pat her nicely styles hair which was no wet.

”You have not answered me yet.”

She heard him say nervously and gently pulled away from the hug to look at his face.

She wondered why on earth he would be nervous. It was strange seeing her Mr Li act that way.

”You...are not angry with me?” She asked again.

”You did not talk to me for so many minutes” She complained with a pout and began to cry again.

”Oh God!” Muchen complained before pulling her into a hug again. Since when did she become so soft?

Slowly, he led her to an edge of the pool and rested his back there.

He used a hand to help her clean her tears and said.

”You've been crying too much lately. You should save that for when you have a daughter like you.” He advised her with a laugh and she hit his chest.

Did she really have any reason to not get married to him? She asked herself.

He loved her. She loved him.

He respected her so much and cared about her and her family. It was not a bad idea wanting to spend the rest of her life with him.

She trusted him with her life.

They both stood there looking into each others eyes and she nodded while tears continued to pour out from her eyes.

She had always thought it was lame that ladies always cried when they were proposed to, but now, she found herself crying so much.

”I do.” She nodded

Muchen laughed and used his hand to wipe her tears that kept falling.

”We are not exchanging vows yet. You should say 'I will' ” He corrected her with a laugh again.

He was so excited she had actually agreed to marry him. Also excited when he saw her glare at him.

He asked for her hand and as he was about slipping the ring on her finger, he lost balance and the ring fell inside the pool.

”My ring!” Sara shouted before dipping herself inside the pool to look for the ring. It was when she was inside that she remembered she used to hate the waters.

'What just happened?' She asked herself inside as she continued to search for it with Muchen.

She smiled when she saw it close to where Muchen's leg was and pointed it to him.

After they both came back up, he successfully slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her hand.

He then raised his head to look at her and saw her smiling brightly while looking at the ring on her finger.

”Thank you Sara. You're the best gift I have ever received.”

Sara lifted her head to smile at him and as she was about to say something, she paused and the look on her face changed to one of guilt.

She blinked and looked at the ring and at him again.

”I...” She paused and turned her head to the side to avoid eye contact with him.

How could she have forgotten she had trouble lurking around.

”Tell me about it. All of it. You trust me don't you?”

He used his hand to turn her chin so she would look at him. ”You trust me don't you?” He repeated the question.

Sara looked at his eyes and then at the ring on her finger.

”I do. I trust you” She looked at him again and nodded. ”I trust you... But... I'm scared”

He believed she was. The look on her eyes told him that.

”Of what?” He asked.

”Of... Of how you'll see me” She sniffed.

”You don't seem to get it do you?”

”I...will only keep seeing you as my wife. The woman I love. Don't ever forget that”
