Chapter 143 Propose
As a matter of fact, Angela and Richard had dressed themselves up. But not as exaggerated as Lily and Eric.
Richard was dressed in a well cut suit, and Angela wore a cheongsam, which fully highlighted her charm.
"It seems that mother is getting more and more satisfied with you." Standing next to Lily, Eric whispered in her ear.
Lily unconsciously winced her neck, because the breath he spat out when he spoke touched her skin, which made her feel itchy.
"Stay away from me." She protested in a low voice and took a step forward, slightly opening the distance between them.
"Come back." Eric suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her back. Then he confined her to his side and looked down at her with a little displeasure on his face. "Stay away from you? Huh?"
"Well… I mean, as our elders are here, you'd better not behave so intimately." Lily looked up at him and explained in a low voice.
Eric accepted the explanation reluctantly, "They won't care."
Lily was speechless for a while. She glared at Eric. They didn't care but I care! They were only two children now, but he was so intimate in front of the elders. How could she face those elders!
"It's useless to glare at me." "We haven't seen each other for nearly a month. You have to stay close to me today." said Eric casually.
"Eric, can you not be so overbearing?" It was Lily's turn to be angry.
He lowered his head and smiled at her, "No."
"You..." Lily stared at him with a red face. Due to shyness or anger, his answer made her feel uneasy.
This feeling was indescribable, but there was also a hint of love.
The intimate behavior between the two was seen by the three adults. Their expressions were different, but they tacitly chose not to speak, but looked at them quietly.
Finally, Angela couldn't help laughing and interrupted them, "Okay, okay, I know you have a good relationship, but don't forget the next business."
Hearing his mother's words, of course Eric dared not to argue with Lily any more. He quickly lowered his head, kissed the lips of Lily in his arms, and then stood there calmly.
"I know, mom."
Lily, who was kissed secretly, blushed thoroughly. She did not dare to look up at the others, and kept her head down. She pinched his waist forcibly as if to vent her anger.
"Ah." Eric could not help taking a deep breath. However, he did not get angry. Instead, he took the rattled hand around his waist and said gently, "Stop it. Mom and dad are watching us."
Who should blame? Who should blame? It was all his fault! If he hadn't kissed her in front of the elders, she wouldn't have done that.
Lily was so angry that she stamped on his foot before she stopped.
Angela shook her head reluctantly with a doting smile on her face. She shifted her eyes from them and turned to Kerr, "How long will Tina be here?"
He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "There are more than ten minutes left."
"Is it ok?"
"Yes." Kerr nodded, with excitement, "Everything is ready."
"Come on!" Angela gave him an encouraging smile. To be honest, she really hoped that they could get married as soon as possible.
Since the two families knew each other because of the children, she liked Tina's disposition very much, gentle and generous, and it also loosened the discipline of children.
After spending some time together, they became good friends.
As the time for the appointment was getting closer and closer, Kerr became more and more nervous. He could not sit still at all and kept pacing back and forth in the room.
Seeing this, Lily could not help laughing. A man in his forties could not keep calm when he proposed to the woman he liked.
When there was five minutes left before seven, he finally stopped and turned around. "I will go out to prepare. Please enter the inner room."
Hearing that, everyone stood up. Eric walked to him and patted on his shoulder, "Come on, uncle Kerr!"
"Thank you."
Lily gave an encouraging smile and a gesture of cheering him up.
It was a mini room in the room where the guests could have a rest in only.
The whole private room was used for business purpose, and the outer room was a place for people to talk about dinner, so the decoration environment of the room was relatively strong, but because of Kerr's requirement, the environment of the outer room was deliberately made and renovated.
The wall was replaced with several landscape paintings. A rack was placed in each of the four corners of the room, with pink roses on it.
Apart from that, there was also a bunch of pink roses placed in the middle of the dining table, which was Tina's favorite flower.
At seven o'clock sharp, Andrew took Tina to the private room on time.
"Why is nobody here?" Asked Tina, looking around and looking at Andrew.
"Dad will be here in a while. Have a seat, aunt Tina." Then, he pulled out the fat chair and let her sit down.
"When will he arrive?" After sitting down, aura asked.
Hearing this, Andrew looked at his watch and said, "About five minutes. He just called me."
"Okay." Tina nodded.
A slice of smile flashed across his eyes as he replied, "I need to go to the washroom. I'll be back soon."
"Okay." Tina nodded. She didn't know that a 'premeditation' had begun.
It was boring to sit alone. Tina began to look around the room. When she saw pink roses placed in every corner of the room, she felt weird.
It was not the first time that Kerr taken her out for dinner and the whole room was full of roses. Why did he bring so many roses this time?
And the atmosphere in this room was strange, but she couldn't tell where.
All of a sudden, the lights in the room turned soft. Then, the door of the room was opened, followed by the melodious sound of violin.
She turned her head to look at the man. When she recognized him, she was stunned.
It was no one else but Kerr. Now he was staring at her intently while playing the violin, his eyes full of love. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
He walked step by step to Tina, the melodious violin sound was also flowing between the two people, coupled with gentle light, and thick love was lingering around them.
"Uncle Kerr can play the violin." Whispered Lily through the crack of the door.
Eric stood behind her and watched the situation outside. "He's just a little nervous."
"You would also feel nervous if you were him." Lily replied in a low voice.
"Of course not." He answered calmly.
When Lily looked up at him, she heard him whisper in her ear, "I will not propose to you in this way."
Hearing that, Lily's face turned red and blurted out, "By what way?"
With a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, Eric lowered his head and kissed her on her cheek. "I will have a way you will never think of."
"Hush!" Standing beside them all the time, Angela made a gesture of silence, indicating them to be quiet and watch the situation outside carefully.
Seeing that Kerr was getting closer and closer to her, and finally stood in front of her, Tina, stupid as she was, knew what he was going to do.
Her heartbeat lost its usual frequency, as if it was going to jump out of her chest, and her breath became somewhat stagnant. She dared not look into his eyes. She was so flustered that she wanted to stand up from the chair.
But when she just stood up, her legs were so soft that she almost couldn't stand up. Fortunately, she quickly grabbed the edge of the table before she could stand still.
The music stopped abruptly. Kerr put down the violin and looked at her affectionately, "Tina, I know it's a little abrupt today, but I can't wait. I'm afraid you will leave me again after a long time. I don't want to suffer this pain again. Tina, marry me, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt on one knee, and Andrew, who had gone to the "bathroom" before, appeared beside them. He held a small delicate tray with a diamond ring in it.
Kerr took the diamond ring from the tray and handed it to Tina, looking at her with expectation.
Tina was too excited to speak. With red eyes, a lump came into her throat, and she looked flustered.
She didn't know if she should accept it or not. She had already lost the ability to think independently. She was completely at a loss.
Seeing that she was not willing to take the ring for a long time, Kerr was flustered. "Tina..."
"I..." She made only one sound, but she was unable to make any sound. Her eyes wandered. At this moment, she looked very helpless.
Seeing that Andrew was in such a hurry, he couldn't help talking to her in a low voice, "Aunt Tina, just agree with my father's suggestion as soon as possible. Otherwise, my father will be worried very much."
"I… I..." Tina looked around, trying to find something.
Lily couldn't stand it anymore. As her daughter, she understood what her mother wanted at the moment. Without thinking too much, she opened the door and went out of the room.
"Girl." Eric called her in a low voice, trying to stop her. But it was too late, because she had already walked quickly out.
Either because of the atmosphere or because of Tina, Lily walked to her with red eyes.
