Chapter 412 Putting a Ring on Her
The moment Emelie finished speaking. William leaned in and kissed her deeply.
The kiss was intense and possessive. Despite being in broad daylight with people around them, he didn’t care. He held the back of her head as his tongue invaded her mouth.
Emelie was afraid of being seen by someone she knew, so she clutched his suit tightly and said, ” William… William…”
William was more reckless, and he kissed her for a while before letting her go. He let out a breath, and his voice was filled with seductiveness and allure as he said, “We’re not just trying. It’s settled. We’ll be together.”
He took Emelie’s hand and, without giving her a chance to see what he was doing, slid a ring onto her finger
Emelie’s eyes widened.
William’s voice was hoarse as he said, “Angel, the city hall is closed for the holidays. Once they reopen, we’ll register for marriage.”
W–What?
What did he just say?
Wait a minute!
Emelie’s nerves exploded when she realized that he wasn’t joking.
She hurriedly covered William’s mouth to stop him from spouting more nonsense and tried to take off the ring. However, the diamond part of the ring formed an inverted V, making it hard to remove once the ring was put on. The ring fit perfectly, and without lubrication, she couldn’t take it off.
Emelie felt a little anxious. Frustrated, she said, “Did… Did I ever agree to that? All I said was that we should try… try to see if we’re right for each other!”
If they tried and it didn’t work out, they’d break up! Why did he just propose? No, it wasn’t a proposal. He was heading straight into marriage.
Marriage. Was she and William getting married?
Emelie’s heart tightened. She felt that the situation was ridiculous.
Telling Mona that they were dating was enough to make her jaw drop. If Emelie told her that they were getting married, Mona would probably fly over immediately to take her to a doctor or a shaman to check if she had a mental illness or had been possessed.
They had once been so secretive about it, but now, everything about their relationship was legitimate.
“It’s enough that I’ve agreed.” William pulled her into his arms. His chest vibrated lightly as he said, “You should quit your job with Bryan. After the holidays, come back to me.”
his chest
Not only was she getting married, but she was also being told to resign. Emelle pushed against his ch with both hands. “I don’t.‘
William lifted his chin and rested it on her head. He smiled after smelling the jasmine scent of her hair.
“Swanson Corporation’s main business isn’t your area of expertise, so you’ve been struggling for the past month. People shine brightest in their fields of strength and familiarity. Cloudex Corporation is the best platform for you.”
“I can…” She wanted to say that she could learn.
“Your parents are here. After the holidays, Dr. Foster will bring her treatment plan for your mom’s further treatment. You’ll be busy then. Can Bryan tolerate you taking frequent leaves?”
Emelie remained silent.
“I can. Whatever you do, I’ll support you.”
Emelie’s resistance weakened. Her thoughts wavered at his words. She wasn’t that firm in her stance after all. “Let… Let go of me first. Everyone’s watching us.”
There were many tourists watching them. After all, attractive people always drew attention, let alone a handsome man with a luxury car who was kissing a beautiful lady in public. It was like a scene from a
romance movie.
Emelie wasn’t usually shy, but facing those teasing looks, she pulled her jacket’s hood over her head and ran away from the scene.
She shouldn’t have waited for him at the edge of town
William smiled as he walked leisurely behind her in the morning sunlight. He appeared noble and charming with his hands casually in his pockets. His long legs allowed him to stride with large steps.
Emelie hurried ahead, but she was aware of his presence just behind her. Emelie knew that he was following her, as she could see his shadow when she looked down. She bit her lip.
As Emelie tumed the corner, William quickly caught up with her. He grabbed her hand and gently pushed her against the wall. “Now that I have proper status, let’s meet your parents. Okay?”
The previous year, he had dropped her off at home without going inside because she had said that he lacked the right status.
Now, he felt that things were different. After all, there was no better status than being an engaged
