“Deal. You do it and then I’ll maybe say yes!”
Emmett smiled and threw a glance at Debbie who was sdistance away.
Carlos was helping her put on the sneakers. He Looked back at Kasie and said, Carlos is taking care of Debbie now. You cwith me.”
“Where are we going?” Kasie asked.
Emmett held her hand and led her to a jewelry counter. There were a few dazzling diamond rings inside the glass case. He raised an eyebrow and told the stunned Kasie, “Go on, pick your favorite.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarlos apologizing to Debbie had already becthe focus of that night’s event. But Emmett wouldn’t mind stealing Carlos’ thunder and proposing to Kasie as long as she chose a diamond ring right away.
Kasie felt a warm feeling course throughout her body. She tried to stay calm and pulled Emmett closer to her, who was seriously looking at the diamond rings.
“I was just kidding, Emmett! I haven’t even graduated yet. I don’t want to spend my school life with a baby in my belly.
Don’t propose tonow.”
Emmett shook his head helplessly.
“Kasie, you fool. We can get engaged now and we’Ll get married after you graduate.”
His words touched Kasie. Tears threatened to fall from her reddened eyes. But she pretended to be angry and chided, “Be honest! Are you rushing your proposal just to save a meal? Our parents haven’t met each other yet. Do you think I’ll be taken in so easily? Humph, no way!”
The truth was that she wanted to marry Emmett as soon as possible too.
But on second thoughts, she didn’t want to rush things because they had only been together for a short period. After all, marriage was a huge event in a person’s life, especially for a woman. She wanted to thoroughly consider this before making a final decision.
Emmett nodded understandingly.
“You have a point there. I’LL wait until you graduate. And then, I’ll ask my parents to speak to your parents about our marriage.”
Through her tear-filled eyes, Kasie saw a beautiful future unfolding in front of her. She said with a fake pout, “Then it’s settled. If you don’t officially propose when I graduate, you’ll be a cheating dog. And if I don’t say yes when you do, I’ll be the cheating dog.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmmett considered her words for a few seconds. As if waking up from a confusion, he corrected himself immediately, “You gotwrong, Kasie!
What I meant was that I’d propose to you after your junior year, not your senior year! You will not be taking the postgraduate entrance exam, right? If so, let’s make it earlier. I’ll propose to you at the end of this semester and ask for your parents’ blessing.”
“What?! So soon? There’s only one semester left in that case.” Although she wanted to marry him soon, she felt a semester’s twas too short.
“Yeah. I need to ask Carlos for leave a few months in advance. I may need at least a month off to prepare for our engagement and wedding.
That’s to say, I won’t be working in July and I’l start earning for our family from August…” Emmett kept mumbling about their plan with a serious look on his face.
Kasie glowed with happiness as she watched her man carefully plan their future. He was obviously serious about their marriage.
She had missed out on Lewis, but now, she had Emmett, a much more reliable man. ‘I’m so lucky that I found him…’ she thought to herself, feeling blessed.
