Chapter 308
Isaac had a plan. They would spend the night somewhere else instead of the villa so the kids couldn't
disturb them.
Patricia nodded. She would turn her phone off as well so the boys couldn't tell her to come home soon.
Oh, I'm so naughty. However, this was the most significant change she had undergone over these
years. She wanted to go crazy for once. To live for herself just this once.
Two hours later, they found themselves at the lakeside of a mountain. It was a famous tourist spot in
Appleby. On weekends, it'd be packed. There was a big lake in the hills, and beautiful pavement
surrounded it. There was also a village here that housed a lot of hotels in it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was about 10.00PM when they arrived, but there were still a lot of people strolling about. Some were
even lighting up fireworks.
Patricia leaned on his chest, staring at the moon outside and the couples strolling about. A big smile
hung on her lips. No longer did she have to envy the couples. She had her boyfriend now—someone
who only belonged to her. "We should get out now." The town was in sight. She knew they'd be
spending the night here.
Isaac nodded and said, "Tom, check us in for the night. We'll walk the whole way."
The driver turned around and responded, "Yes, sir."
They got out of the car and held hands. Oh, tomorrow's the company's annual dinner. The Christmas
holidays start after tomorrow. We can just stay here for the night and depart for dinner tomorrow
directly from here. So, there's no need to wake up early.
Isaac took his jacket off and draped it over Patricia. She looked at him. "I'm not cold. You should wear
this." Winds were howling around the lake, the air of winter making them chilly. She was worried the
weather might freeze him.
However, the man just shrugged it off. "Don't worry about me. I was trained to endure harsh and cold
weather when I was a kid. I can go naked and still take the cold."
She stared at him. His face was shimmering under the light, his eyes gleaming like stars. He was a
handsome man, and she loved staring at him. Now, she understood why the other ladies would be
rooted to the spot every time they saw him. Even Sylvie would be stunned every time she saw him.
Patricia smiled. "Wow, you're awesome."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA group of people gathered ahead of them, their cheers piquing her curiosity. She grabbed Isaac's
hand and trotted all the way there.
Candles formed the shape of a heart on the ground. A beautiful woman stood within, a bouquet in her
hands. A man was kneeling on one knee, holding up a ring.
"No matter what happens, I'll always stay with you. I'll always love you. We'll raise a family. Get two
kids: a boy and a girl. And then, we'll grow old together, but I won't ever let go of you. I love you,
Queenie. Would you marry me?"
Everyone cheered them on, and Patricia teared up as well. Love can be touching. She held Isaac's
hand and stared at him. He was inscrutable, but she knew he felt the same way as she was. He, too,
was moved, and he was praying for the couple, too.
And then, he turned around and stared into her eyes.
Their gazes met, and it felt like everything around them had disappeared. Only the two of them were
left.
Solemnly, he whispered, "You'll be with me forever, won't you?"
