“Han, what are you looking at?” Molly asked. She followed Han’s gaze and under the dim light of the
restaurant, she saw someone kneeling on one knee with roses in his hands.
Molly could not see who the couple were as Ian was kneeling with his back to the window, and Leah
was lowering her head. Nonetheless, she was still envious to see such a romantic scene. In fact, every
woman dreamed of that however Han did not kneel when he proposed to her for their engagement.
Thinking of that, Molly stepped forward and held Han’s arm. She asked, “Han, when will you propose to
me? I can’t wait to be your bride.”
In the past two years, Han had become more competent and gradually been out of Jackson’s control.
He pulled out his arm from Molly’s hand. “I’m too busy. Let’s talk about it nest time.” With that, his face
darkened.
Hearing that, Molly was hurt. Nonetheless, she knew she could not push Han. She could wait as long
as he would marry her in the end.
In the restaurant, what Ian said kept lingering in Leah’s ears. She had complicated feelings. In fact, she
did not know what kind of feeling she had for him.
Thirty seconds had passed, but it was a long time for Leah. She gripped the corner of her clothes and
looked Ian in the eyes.
Ian was very patient and waited for Leah’s answer quietly. He was not afraid even if she would refuse
him.
Finally, Leah breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Yes, I do.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, as soon as Leah said that, she felt her heart sink. She never thought of marrying Ian
although she knew he was the best candidate for her. Ian liked her and treated her well. Not only that,
Jane also liked him. Wasn’t she blessed to have such a capable and loving husband?
Leah could not help thinking about the past. In fact, Han had proposed to her before. Back then, Han
approached her first. When he sent her home one day, he suddenly asked her to open the
compartment of the car. “Help me take a cigarette from the cigarette case,” he commanded her.
Leah did not hesitate and opened the compartment. However, she did not see any cigarettes and found
a delicate velvet box instead.
Immediately, Leah’s heart skipped a beat. She took out the velvet box from the compartment
cautiously. As soon as she opened it, she saw a ring. Although the ring was not as pretty as the one
Ian gave her now, she remembered her heart was fluttering rapidly. At that moment, it seemed that
everything frozen as well as her body.
Although Han looked impatient at her at that time, Leah was feeling excited. She was about to cry. It
was different from what she felt now. She was calm even though the crowd was cheering for them.
Perhaps it was destiny.
“Really? Sarah?” Ian stood up excitedly and handed the roses to her, “We can finally be husband and
wife. I promise I will never let you down,” Ian said. His eyes were full of tenderness.
With a smile on her face, Leah nodded.
After that, Ian put the ring on Leah’s ring finger and gave a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. The
kiss was so passionate, and Leah was deeply moved. She could feel how Ian loved her just like how
she loved Han back then.
“I will arrange the engagement ceremony as soon as possible,” said Ian seriously.
Hearing that, Leah smiled. She replied softly, “Okay. I’ll leave it to you!”
Ian could not help smiling. “I will give you a perfect and romantic engagement ceremony. I won’t let you
down.” Ian’s words were so sweet. One would be moved to tears after hearing that. However, Leah
only nodded with a smile.
After dinner, Ian drove Leah home and stopped the car at the gate.
Leah unfastened her seat belt and was about to get out of the car when her wrist was grasped by Ian
strongly. Ian had always been gentle to Leah. That was the first time he was in a rush to stop her.
“What’s wrong?” Leah turned to him and asked.
Ian took a deep breath and seemed a little nervous. He looked at Leah gently and asked, “Sarah, are
you sure you won’t regret marrying me?”
Stunned for a moment, Leah shook her head. “No, I won’t.”
Hearing that, Ian breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid Leah agreed to his proposal just now because
she did not want to embarrass him at the restaurant. He finally felt relieved hearing her firm answer
now.
“Okay… Go in now. Good night,” said Ian.
Leah got out of the car and waved at him. “Good night. Drive safely.”

home.
Right then, a woman suddenly rushed out to the middle of the road. She was wearing a long white
dress, and her hair was in a mess. Ian was shocked and immediately hit the brake. Nonetheless, his
body could not help but lean forward. He almost cursed out loud.
Ian opened the door and got off the car. However, as soon as he saw the woman’s face clearly, he was
stupefied.
“Sasha?” Ian asked in disbelief.
The person who stopped him was Sasha who had disappeared for a long time.
After what happened to Gordon, Sasha disappeared. Although Ian tried to look for her, he had no news
about her whereabouts.
Two years had passed, and he did not expect Sasha would appear out of nowhere like that.
Seeing Ian, Sasha finally raised her head pitifully.
However, Ian frowned. He had a lot to ask her. He wanted to ask where she had been in the past two
years, and why did she disappear when Gordon died. Not only that, what did Gordon’s death have to
do with her? Nonetheless, all he could do was sighed when he saw her.
“Why are you here?” Ian asked finally.
Sarah could not help but stare at Ian innocently. “I heard that you are going to marry Sarah. Is that
true? You don’t like me anymore?”
Hearing that, Ian was surprised. “How did you find out?” he asked.
