Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 534 Will You Marry Me?

Roman replied with a roar as soon as Lainey finished speaking. "No, Lainey, you are wrong. Without you, even if I

am still alive, I will be a soulless body."

Lainey cried and smiled. Her smile was bitter beyond words. She had lost her spirit, but she insisted on persuading

him, "Roman, promise me to live well."

Roman suddenly lost his expression. He slowly stood up and walked to the balcony step by step. As he walked, he

said, "Lainey, don't be afraid. I will be with you. No matter where you go, I will be with you. Even if you are in hell, I

will be there."

These words made Lainey collapse. The emotions she suppressed for a long time went out of control, and she cried

like a child.

Roman took her down from the wall. He tightened his grip on her in shock and comforted her in a low voice. "It's

okay, Lainey, it's okay..."

Lainey could not break free from his arm, so she had to clench her fists and punch his back hard, crying and

shouting, "You are so silly. You are the most stupid fool in the world. Why are you so good to me? I am not worth it!"

Roman allowed her to hit him. Her voice had returned to normal. Every word that came out of his mouth was filled

with determination. "Lainey, you are worth it as long as I think so.’

At the banquet.

Manuel could not calm down. His mind was filled with what Ainsley said in the garden.

"Mr. Gage, please behave yourself.

"Don't meddle in other people's business.

"Throw it away."

Ainsley said it flatly, but every word seemed to be carved into Manuel's heart, and he felt pain.

Back then, he put the watch on Ainsley by himself and told her the real use of the watch, but she threw it away.

That was reasonable. He laughed at himself. Ainsley already recovered her memories. What right did he have to

make her forget everything that had happened before and continue to wear the watch?

He did not have the right to ask Ainsley to do it or to question her. After all, he hurt Ainsley before. Such an injury

made him feel ashamed.

Looking at Manuel whose face was getting darker, Cason felt strange. What did Ainsley say in the garden just now?

"Manuel, have you asked her? Was Ainsley threatened?" Cason couldn't help but ask.

Only then did Manuel come back to his senses. He looked at Cason and sighed, "Nothing happened to her."

How could he say those words?

Cason didn’t believe it. "You were with her for at least five minutes yet you didn't ask her anything in such a long

time."

He felt that with Manuel's personality, he must have asked something.

Manuel thought for a moment and spoke again, "I think things are abnormal. She's strange. Not only her reaction,

but her eyes also make me feel strange."

Cason remembered the look Ainsley gave him and said, "In the past, she would look at me with love. After

marriage, her coldness always makes me feel strange. Maybe you feel strange because her attitude toward you

has changed. After all, after you did those things, she should ignore you."

"No, you don't understand." Manuel shook his head.

Of course, he had seen the disgust and coldness in Ainsley's eyes. It was not like this.

Not only her eyes, but her aura also became strange.

What had she encountered in the days when she disappeared?

The reporters pointed their cameras at them. Some of the reporters wanted to see Manuel's reaction. As someone

related to Ainsley by an affair, he heard her say that she became someone else's fiancee when he attended a

banquet. How did it feel?

Manuel's expression was normal. This was who he was, so the reporters did not find it strange.

On the other side, Daniel handed a glass of champagne to Ainsley. ’What did you say to Manuel?"

He had to admit that he couldn't ignore Manuel, especially their past.

Ainsley caught the champagne and said softly, "He said some strange things. He asked me why my watch was gone

and whether I was threatened.

"What else do you want to know?"

Daniel was in a trance. He did remember that Ainsley had a watch on her wrist, but it was gone now.

"Where is the watch?" he suddenly asked with expectation.

Ainsley looked a bit uncomfortable. Her fingertips turned white. She bit her lip and said, "I threw it away."

"Did he give you the watch?"

"Yes." Ainsley nodded.

Daniel frowned and toasted with her. He could not help but ask, "I feel like I'm dreaming. I didn't expect you to

agree to my proposal yesterday."

The day before he came, he entered Ainsley's room with a diamond ring. "Take it with you tomorrow and go to the

forum with me."

Ainsley looked down at the dazzling diamond and raised her head to ask, "Do you want to propose to me?"

Daniel couldn't help frowning after hearing this question. "If I say yes, you wouldn't agree, right?"

Surprisingly, Ainsley only smiled. "How would you know if you don't try? What if I am desperate and eager to be

married to a random guy?"

Daniel tightened her grip on the ring and asked uncertainly, "If possible, I hope that you won't choose me because

you feel desperate. But I still want to ask. Will you marry me?"

"How can a guy propose to a woman while standing?"

Daniel understood what she meant and was on his knee. "Will you marry me?"

At that moment, his heart was in his mouth. He did not dare to look up at Ainsley's reaction. He only saw a hand in

front of him and then heard Ainsley's voice. "Put it on."

His memory was like a dream. Daniel's eyes were dazzled by the flashing lights. The diamond ring was on Ainsley's

hand. It was proof that she wanted to marry him.

"Do you regret it?" he asked.

"It doesn't matter." Ainsley shook her head.

The dance song rang and Daniel extended a hand to invite Ainsley into the dance floor.

Daniel looked at Ainsley's makeup with satisfaction. It was almost the same as what Irene wore at her birthday

banquet.

At that time, as a bystander, he watched Manuel and Ainsley dance, but today, he hugged Ainsley and danced with

her. The one watching was Manuel.

This kind of contrast made him instantly excited and he could not stop smiling.

Manuel finally had such a day!

"Are you just going to watch?" Cason said with reluctance.

"Then, what should I do?" Manuel murmured.

Cason shook his head. "You are Mr. Gage of Seattle. The person you like is dancing with someone else. Are you

going to just watch it? I will look down on you!"

Manuel's eyes were full of coldness. He wanted to show his charm, but he knew what Ainsley's attitude toward him

was. She would only feel offended.

If you are not afraid of Ainsley's gazes, you can go."
