Joyce got out of the cab and the restaurant Justin talked about was right in front of her.
She had heard of this restaurant and read about it in the promotional pages in food magazines. While it was right in the middle of
the city, the surrounding had been surprisingly quiet. The layout and design of this restaurant used a pure European style, and the
entire restaurant was surrounded by water features. It was nighttime, and the lights were lit up everywhere. The curtain-like
waterfall surrounded the entire restaurant, and now illuminated by all the lights around it, it looked like a neon rainbow under the
starry night.
In the middle of the water, the path leading to the restaurant was flanked by flowers, lilies and roses, red and white.
Every step was just romantic.
As Joyce walked, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and the restaurant was too grandly decorated. Now it's dinner
time, there should be other people, but there was actually no one in the room.
By the tshe entered the restaurant, it was indeed just what she thought it would be.

Justin booked the entire restaurant and there was no one inside.
In the center of the dining room, there was a long French table covered with roses arranged in the shape of a "heart". The ceiling of
the restaurant was decorated like a starry sky. The beautiful blue was dotted with countless twinkling stars. For a moment, she
wondered whether she was in a dream.
Justin, wearing a sky-blue suit, slowly walked out from the corner. That handspure face looked just like a bright moon in the
sea of stars and shone directly into the depths of her heart.
Joyce had a guess already in her heart, as if she knew what he was going to do. After all, she had been with him for a while and still
knew something about him.
She subconsciously stopped her steps and started backing up.
Justin took a few steps forward and took her wrist to stop her from stepping backwards.
"Joyce, | prepared this for you tonight, do you like it?" The bright starlight reflected in his eyes and his sincere attitude made it hard
for her to refuse him.
"It's beautiful. Thanks." She gently bit her lower lip and replied awkwardly.
Justin took out a black velvet box and got down on one knee, "Joyce, this isn't the first tI've asked you to marry me. The last
time, | couldn't walk on my legs, | couldn't get down on one knee, and the ring was plain. You are worth so much more than that
and that tdoes not count."
"Now, | formally ask you to marry me." He took her hand and opened the black velvet box in front of her.
Under the illumination of countless spotlights, the blue diamond in the box suddenly blossomed into a dazzling light.
"This is a blue diamond. | have searched for a long tand feel that it is the only one that can best represent my heart. It is clear,
pure, and like my feelings for you, it will never change. Marry me, Joyce, | love you."
His eyes showed infinite sincerity and earnest expectation.

The rare blue diamond, at the moment, emitted a moving and bright dazzling light.
Really, it was so beautiful. Even someone like her, who was indifferent to gems, was surprised by its beauty.
She was gently shaken within her heart. Justin liked her, and she knew that long ago. All the things they had experienced together
began to flash back in her mind. They had been so innocent when they first met and they had all those plain days and nights
together. Indeed, they had been through so many pains and struggles, but now, looking back upon those days, she felt it was more
like reading a story of someone else's.
He was so attentive and knew her preferences well.
She sure could understand his obsession.
He didn’t even mind that now she was pregnant with someone else's child.
Only, she couldn't do it. She couldn't accept his love. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future.
Justin trembled as he took out the blue diamond ring and held Joyce's hand, wanting to put it on her personally.
