Chapter 135: For The Diamond’s Sake, I Do
Cathryn had a lot of thoughts and words in her mind but couldn't tell. She slightly blinked. Tears slid down from the corners of her eyes. She reached out her right hand. "For the diamond's sake, yes, I do." She smiled widely.
The moment she finished her talk, she saw that the man's eyes were suddenly brightened. His tight lips trembled as if he was finally released from some tension.
Keith, who had always been gentle, refined, confident, and modest, was nervous when making this proposal. Cathryn felt so lucky that she had met him.
Keith guided Cathryn's hand over and put the ring onto her finger. He stretched out his arms and carefully held her into his arms.
Compared to Cathryn, Keith was much more excited. This man barely revealed his emotions, but he couldn't control his expression at the moment. He held Cathryn as tight as he could.
Cathryn was not an emotional person. However, at the moment, it seemed that being emotional was inevitable. She hugged the man and sniffed his fresh smell of him, which made her feel peaceful.
"I have divorced once. I hope you won't make me divorce for a second time." She uttered seriously.
Amused, Keith smiled. After a long while, the man replied softly.
"My world is not centered on anyone. But in the days to come, my world is centered on you."
Cathryn buried her head in Keith's chest. She was so touched that she just couldn't help shedding the tears of happiness.
It was the most touching whisper of love she had ever heard. "Come here! Open the champagne!"
It was Grace's voice that came in. She suddenly appeared from behind. Cathryn was inside Keith's arms. So she wiped her tears onto Keith's clothes. She looked back with red eyes. Grace and Hale walked out from behind the big tree in the center of the kitchen.
Grace was wearing a smile on her face and was holding a bottle of champagne in her hand. She was watching the whole process when Keith was proposing to Cathryn. She felt happy for them from the bottom of her heart. She came out with the popping sound of the champagne.
Keith smiled at Cathryn, who was still amazed. "I invited them to come to see my proposal. More witnesses, more assured." He explained.
Giving a grateful glance to Keith, Cathryn opened her arms and hugged Grace. Grace held Cathryn tightly. "Congratulations, dear." She said happily.
They got seated. Cathryn couldn't drink champagne. The waiter went to serve the other three in turn. When it was Grace's turn, she gave the waiter an indication that she wouldn't drink it, either. So only Hale and Keith were served the champagne.
"Why don't you tell me that you two are coming over today?" Cathryn asked.
"How can we surprise you if we keep you informed?" Grace explained.
"Keith told me to come over and pick a painting today. How can I know he was actually asking me to witness the happiness of your rich people." She added.
When she was saying so, she took Cathryn's hand over. "My diamond is only as big as one of your small ones." She appreciated it.
As her words were released, Grace immediately realized that it might make Hale embarrassed. So she held Hale's arm and leaned on his shoulder. "But my man is as big as your man."
The two men stopped drinking champagne and looked at Grace. It became a bit embarrassing.
Grace shrugged. "I mean, figure. What's in your mind, guys?" She acted innocent.
The atmosphere became less embarrassing, and the four of them just laughed it away.
"By the way, how's your wedding going?" Cathryn suddenly inquired.
Recalling the scene when Grace called her this morning and told her about her wedding, Cathryn realized maybe it was an indication of the proposal tonight. Cathryn felt so warmed and held the man's fingers with hers.
"It will be held in Douglas City," Grace said. "We took many wedding photos today. Exhausted, you know, but it's worth it."
"I planned to hold another one in Jonathan City for Grace's parents. But Grace said no need to worry. So we're going to hold it in Douglas City only." Hale explained.
When Hale said so, Cathryn hesitated and looked up at Grace. The latter took a sip of water and said nothing. Grace went to the villa and picked a painting she thought was the most expensive one, and left. Cathryn and Keith took a shower together and got into bed early. Cathryn was a light sleeper and was often woken up. In order to ensure enough sleep, she generally went to bed early and got up late.
Just got on the bed, Keith stretched his arms and pulled Cathryn into his arms.
They had slept together for a period of time. Every time Keith did so, Cathryn couldn't help, but her heartbeat would speed up. She could feel that the hormones in her body would always pop up for Keith.
Among the relationships between men and women, vagueness is always the most exciting part. After the vagueness, they fell in love with each other. The passion and enthusiasm faded then.
However, it seemed that this rule was inapplicable to them.
Cathryn's heartbeat accelerated. Keith was able to erect immediately. When they lied to each other, she could feel the hard shaft against her waist. Thinking about what they would do after delivering the baby, Cathryn blushed, and her heartbeat accelerated. She was wet.
To draw herself out from mental torture, Cathryn decided to shift the topic of their conversation.
"This proposal was really sudden to me." She complained.
"It was not decided on the spur of the moment, though." Keith lowered his head and kissed Cathryn on her neck. Being kissed, Cathryn shivered. "The undersea restaurant was built for this proposal."
"Were you waiting before the smell of chemicals was removed?" Cathryn asked.
Surprised by Cathryn's imagination, Keith was stunned but smiled. "The chemicals have been removed once it was built." He answered.
"So how come you didn't propose until today?" Cathryn added.
"I want you to be assured," Keith answered.
Hearing this, Cathryn missed one heartbeat and was wet again.
"You've been afraid to meet my parents because you're not confident, are you?" Keith said, "And to me, actions shall always prevail over promises."
"Additionally..." Keith added, "I'm doing not so much to let you be assured as to let myself be assured."
