Chapter 27 Marry Me
Chapter 27 Marry Me
When Ann heard the door open, her entire body froze.
Her heart was beating so fast that she almost cried out.
She could imagine how others would think about her when they saw such an ambiguous scene.
She didn't want to care about the pain on her scalp. She struggled to get up with both her hands and
feet. However, her movements were too violent and she heard a piercing sound.
The button on her shirt suddenly bounced off.
Her beautiful breast which had been hidden so well was exposed to the air.
The man's burning gaze focused on her and lingered around her body.
Ann felt extremely embarrassed.
"Are you seducing me?" Phillip's breathing became even heavier.
Ann could no longer endure Phillip's teasing. She covered her breast and escaped.
She didn't dare to say a word.
Phillip smiled even more widely when seeing that Ann escaped.
"Ann."
Ann walked down the stairs restlessly. When she heard someone calling her intimately, she looked up
in surprise.
Karl was standing there and waiting for her with an affectionate smile.
"Karl, what are you here? Where's Nikki?" Ann suppressed her anxiety and forced a smile.
"It's still early. I've invited Daisy to have a meal with us. I'll pick up Nikki later."
Karl noticed that Ann was covering her chest. He hesitantly asked, "Ann, what happened to your
clothes?"
"It ... it was an accident."
Her body stiffened. She did not know how to explain the situation just now, so she could only say it
vaguely.
Feeling that Karl's gaze fell on her body, Ann took out a hairpin and temporarily fixed the clothes.
Although it didn't look good, it made her feel much more at ease than exposing her skin to the air.
"Let's go meet Daisy."
Hearing Ann's explanation, Karl couldn't hold his smile anymore. He felt a sense of uneasiness and
irritation.
Entering a luxurious garden restaurant in the River City, Ann was even more puzzled when she saw
that the expensive dishes.
Daisy sat by the side and looked at Karl's nervous expression. She took a sip of red wine and reminded
him, "Flowers."
Karl was awakened and rubbed his hands. He took out the roses he had prepared and handed them to
Ann.
"Ann, I want to formally apologize to you for not trusting you last time."This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
When Ann saw the large handful of roses in Karl's hand, which were so fresh and beautiful, she almost
knew what Karl wanted to do.
Her gaze immediately softened. "I didn't blame you for that."
Karl smiled and said, "I know you are always this considerate. I'm just worried that one day I will lose
you."
Ann felt silent. She recalled that Karl had said that he often felt insecure.
Karl carefully held Ann's hand and said, "Ann, I've said that I have loved you for years. What I didn't tell
you is that I loved you since I saw you the first time."
"However, you were a star back then. You were the daughter of the Scott family, and I was just a poor
student."
"I was overwhelmed when I found out about what happened to you back then. I've been regretting it
every once in a while these past years..."
Ann unconsciously held the flowers tighter.
Karl still minded what she had experienced, didn't he?
Anyone would mind it.
Karl held Ann in his arms, "I regret that I didn't say I liked you earlier. I hate that I'm not strong enough
to protect you...."
"For all these years, you've become stronger and more independent. But for me, I always feel insecure.
I'm afraid that one day, you will be independent enough and won't need me anymore."
"Karl, I have always been grateful for your care and love for me. I have been relying on you. Between
the two of us, you are the better one. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know if I would be able to carry on
and become who I am today," Ann said softly, her eyes red.
However, looking at Ann, Karl felt that Ann would definitely be able to persevere even without him.
Moreover, she was so beautiful and nice. There must be even more outstanding men pursuing her.
He couldn't help but think of Phillip and hugged Ann harder.
"Ann, what I want is not your gratitude. I love you, so I hope that even if there's someone better than
me, you will always stay by my side and not leave me."
Ann looked into Karl's eyes, which were full of sincerity and expectation. She pursed her lips.
"Karl, for me, you are good enough. I promise you that as long as you don't leave me, I will always stay
by your side."
When Karl heard Ann's promise, his eyes lit up and he became confident. Then he took out a velvet
box with a diamond ring inside it from his pocket.
"Ann, marry me! I promise I will love you with all my heart."
